NFL PREDICTIONS Week 11

Last week’s record: 8-5-1. Season: 93-56-1.

Colts (5 -5 ) at Bills (6 -3 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Bills by 7. O/U: 49 ½.

The Bills are suddenly hearing New England’s footsteps. Josh Allen faces a secondary missing three of its four starters, and the Colts can’t seem to win a game against a playoff-caliber team. Bills 30, Colts 20

Ravens (6 -3 ) at Bears (3 -6 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Ravens by 5. O/U: 44.

The Ravens are 3-6 against the spread, so even though they probably will beat the Bears, there’s a good chance it won’t be by much.

Ravens 24, Bears 21

Dolphins (3 -7 ) at Jets (2 -7 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Dolphins by 3 ½. O/U: 44 ½. Jets are starting Joe Flacco, who might be better against blitzes than rookie Zach Wilson, but does he have anything left? Dolphins 17, Jets 13

Texans (1 -8 ) at Titans (8 -2 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Titans by 10. O/U: 44 ½. The Titans don’t have Derrick Henry, but that hasn’tseemedtomattermuch.Tennesseestillhas weapons and appears to be playoff bound and is facing a franchise in disarray. Titans 28,Texans 13

Washington (3 -6 ) at Panthers (5 -5 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Panthers by 3 ½. O/U: 43. Who knows how long it will last, but there is love in the air again between Carolina and Cam Newton. Christian McCaffrey is back to speed against a disappointing and banged-up Washington defense. Panthers 27, Washington 20

Lions (0 -8 -1 ) at Browns (5 -5 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Browns by 12 ½. O/U: 42 ½. Lions are basking in afterglow of their tie with Pittsburgh — hey, it’s been that kind of season — and they have played some good teams close before losing. Cleveland tends not to blow out opponents. Browns 24, Lions 20

4 9 ers (4 -5 ) at Jaguars (2 -7 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: 49ers by 6 ½. O/U: 45.

The 49ers have been up and down, with a humiliating loss to the short-handed Cardinals followed by a decisive win over the Rams. Jacksonville isn’t playing in London, so no homefield advantage here. 49ers 27, Jaguars 17

Packers (8 -2 ) at Vikings (4 -5 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Packers by 1. O/U: 47 ½. Controversial as he is, Aaron Rodgers is on mend and figures to play better this week. Green Bay’s defense did a good job in consecutive weeks against Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson. Packers 28, Vikings 24

Saints (5 -4 ) at Eagles (4 -6 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Eagles by 2 ½. O/U: 42 ½. Saints haven’t lost three in a row since 2016, and they have the best run defense in the NFL. That said, the Eagles ran all over them last season. Saints 23, Eagles 21

Bengals (5 -4 ) at Raiders (5 -4 )

Sunday, 4:05 p.m. Line: Bengals by 1. O/U: 50 ½. The Bengals are terrible after a week off, losing their last five after the break. But this is a different team with a different quarterback, and the Raiders are in disarray. Bengals 23, Raiders 21

Cowboys (7 -2 ) at Chiefs (6 -4 )

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Line: Chiefs by 2 ½. O/U: 56 ½. The Cowboys can score like crazy, and they just throttled Atlanta, 43-3. Dak Prescott has a big game against a Kansas City defense he can pick apart. Cowboys 31, Chiefs 28

Cardinals (8 -2 ) at Seahawks (3 -6 )

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Line: Cards by 1 ½. O/U: 47 ½. After being shut out last Sunday for the first time in Russell Wilson’s 150 games, the Seahawks are likely to bounce back strong at home. Seahawks 27, Cardinals 21

Steelers (5 -3 -1 ) at Chargers (5 -4 )

Sunday, 8:20 p.m. Line: Chargers by 5 ½. O/U: 47 ½. Mike Tomlin has a good record against young quarterbacks, but with no Minkah Fitzpatrick and Ben Roethlisberger’s status in question ...

Chargers 27, Steelers 23

Giants (3 -6 ) at Buccaneers (6 -3 )

Monday, 8:15 p.m. Line: Bucs by 11. O/U: 49 ½. Tom Brady is going to bring the Buccaneers back with a vengeance after a humbling defeat. There’s no way he’s going to drop two in a row.

Buccaneers 35, Giants 17

Open: Denver, LA Rams
