2 2
The Eagles can’t protect Carson Wentz and they struggle to run the ball reliably. Baltimore will win this by keeping it on the ground.
Ravens 24, Eagles 14
Browns (4-1) at Steelers (4-0)
1 p.m., Sunday | Steelers by 3 1⁄ | O/U: 51

This could be the game of the week. The vastly improved Browns need to prove they can knock off a division bully on the road. Steelers 27, Browns 23 Broncos (1-3) at Patriots (2-2) 1 p.m., Sunday | Patriots by 8 | O/U: 45
The Patriots are getting Cam Newton back, and they can roll up a lot of rushing yards too. Not a lot of bright spots for the Broncos. Patriots 28, Broncos 17 Lions (1-3) at Jaguars (1-4) 1 p.m., Sunday | Lions by 3 | O/U: 54 1⁄
2 Quarterbacks tend to carve up Jaguars pass defense, so what do you think Matthew Stafford is going to do?
Lions 28, Jaguars 24
Falcons (0-5) at Vikings (1-4)
1 p.m., Sunday | Vikings by 4 | O/U: 54
The Vikings came oh-so-close at Seattle and showed some explosiveness they had been lacking. Vikings 31, Falcons 28 Jets (0-5) at Dolphins (2-3) 4:05 p.m., Sunday | Dolphins by 9 | O/U: 47
The Jets are terrible, and they’re going to be hard pressed to shut down Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has been scorching. Dolphins 34, Jets 17
Packers (4-0) at Buccaneers (3-2)
4:25 p.m., Sunday | Packers by 1 | O/U: 55
Bucs are really going to miss Vita Vea on defense. Aaron Jones could be particularly effective for Packers. Packers 24, Buccaneers 22
Rams (4-1) at 49ers (2-3)
8:20 p.m., Sunday | Rams by 3 | O/U: 51 1⁄
2
Avalanche of injuries has the 49ers limping into this one. Rams have shown they can be good on offense. On defense, Aaron Donald will feast. Rams 35, 49ers 21
Chiefs (4-1) at Bills (4-1)
5 p.m., Monday | Chiefs by 4 1⁄2 | O/U: 57
Both teams badly need a strong bounce-back performance after soul-crushing losses. Patrick Mahomes gets the Chiefs back on track. Chiefs 31, Bills 27
Cardinals (3-2) at Cowboys (2-3) 8:15 p.m., Monday | Cardinals by 1 | O/U: 55 The disappointment of losing Dak Prescott could lead to Dallas rally. The Cardinals lost early-season steam but get a second wind. Cardinals 28, Cowboys 24
