THE CHEAT SHEET
PACKERS at BEARS
Time: Noon, Fox-32.
Line: Bears by 6. Total: 45. Records (overall/ATS): Packers 5-7-1/5-7-1; Bears 9-4/9-4. Outlook: Bears are set up for a role reversal after upset of the Rams. The defense is due for a letdown after letting it all hang out. But a focused Mitch Trubisky likely will have the offense in high gear. Pick: Bears 27, Packers 24.
TEXANS at JETS
Time: 3:30 p.m. Saturday, NFL.
Line: Texans by 6. Total: 41½. Records (overall/ATS): Texans
9-4/6-7; Jets 4-9/5-8.
Outlook: Texans figure to respond after having their nine-game winning streak snapped vs. the Colts. Jets’ running game is in dire straits with Isaiah Crowell (toe) banged up.
Pick: Texans 23, Jets 16.
BROWNS at BRONCOS
Time: 7:20 p.m. Saturday, NFL. Line: Broncos by 3. Total: 45½. Records (overall/ATS): Browns 5-7-1/8-5; Broncos 6-7/6-6-1. Outlook: Browns have responded to coach Gregg Williams. They’re 3-2 since Hue Jackson was fired, with the three wins in the last four games. Losses were to Chiefs and Texans.
Pick: Broncos 24, Browns 20.
RAIDERS at BENGALS
Time: Noon.
Line: Bengals by 2½. Total: 46. Records (overall/ATS): Raiders 3-10/5-8; Bengals 5-8/6-7. Outlook: Raiders beat the Steelers for their biggest win of the season — then fired GM Reggie McKenzie. Khalil Mack, Amari Cooper trades continue to haunt Jon Gruden.
Pick: Bengals 21, Raiders 17.
LIONS at BILLS
Time: Noon.
Line: Bills by 2½. Total: 39½. Records (overall/ATS): Lions
5-8/7-6; Bills 4-9/5-8.
Outlook: Two teams with only the draft to look forward to. LeSean McCoy’s hamstring injury doesn’t help rookie QB Josh Allen. But Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) being on IR affects the Lions’ pass rush.
Pick: Lions 9, Bills 6.
COWBOYS at COLTS
Time: Noon.
Line: Colts by 3. Total: 47. Records (overall/ATS): Cowboys 8-5/8-5; Colts 7-6/6-6-1. Outlook: Two teams on a roll. Cowboys have won five straight. Colts have won six of seven. Pick: Cowboys 31, Colts 27.
TITANS at GIANTS
Time: Noon.
Line: Giants by 2½. Total: 43½. Records (overall/ATS): Titans 7-6/7-6; Giants 5-8/7-5-1. Outlook: Giants have won four of their last five and are legitimately improved, but now they face a firststring QB in Marcus Mariota.
Pick: Titans 17, Giants 16.
CARDINALS at FALCONS
Time: Noon.
Line: Falcons by 9. Total: 44. Records (overall/ATS): Cardinals 3-10/6-6-1; Falcons 4-9/3-10. Outlook: Falcons are in free fall with five consecutive losses. But this is a team they can pick on. Pick: Falcons 34, Cardinals 17.

SEAHAWKS at 49ERS
Time: 3:05 p.m.
Line: Seahawks by 4. Total: 43½. Records (overall/ATS): Seahawks 8-5/8-3-2; 49ers 3-10/4-9. Outlook: Seahawks won 43-16 two weeks ago. Niners are 0-2 SU/ATS after a win this season.
