- By Sam Farmer

Last week against spread: 8-6. Season 53-38 (.582).

Steelers (5-0) at Titans (5-0)

1 p.m. Sunday. Line: Titans by 11⁄ 2.. O/U: 51. The Titans have trampled teams with Derrick Henry, but they facing a smothering Steelers defense. Steelers 28, Titans 21

Browns (4-2) at Bengals (1-4-1)

1 p.m. Sunday. Browns by 3. O/U: 501⁄ 2.

As promising at Joe Burrow is, he’s been looking more like a rookie lately.

Browns 21, Bengals 17

Bills (4-2) at Jets (0-6)

1 p.m. Sunday. Bills by 10. O/U: 46.

To call the Jets a dumpster fire is an insult to dumpster fires. Most recently, they were shut out by Miami. Bills 31, Jets 13

Lions (2-3) at Falcons (1-5)

1 p.m. Sunday. Falcons by 21⁄ 2. O/U: 55. Figures to be a shootout, although the Lions have an improving pass defense. Atlanta’s defense is abysmal. Lions 31, Falcons 28

Packers (4-1) at Texans (1-5)

1 p.m. Sunday. Packers by 31⁄ 2. O/U: 57.

Aaron Rodgers had a horrible game against Tampa Bay and should bounce back in a big way. Packers 30, Texans 21

Panthers (3-3) at Saints (3-2)

1 p.m. Sunday. Saints by 7. O/U: 50.

The return of Michael Thomas adds juice to a Saints passing attack that’s not as scary as in years past. Saints 27, Panthers 24

Cowboys (2-4) at Washington (1-5)

1 p.m. Sunday. Football Team by 1. O/U: 45. The Cowboys’ defense is flimsy, Washington’s offense is feeble — so that’s somewhat intriguing. Cowboys 20, Washington 16

Buccaneers (4-2) at Raiders (3-2)

4:05 p.m. Sunday. Bucs by 4. O/U: 52.

The Buccaneers are playing some stifling defense. Derek Carr has had a hot hand so far, but Tom Brady gets the nod. Buccaneers 30, Raiders 20

Chiefs (5-1) at Broncos (2-3)

4:25 p.m. Sunday. Chiefs by 71⁄ 2. O/U: 44.

The Broncos sacked Cam Newton four times, but that says as much about New England as it does about Denver’s defense. Chiefs 28, Broncos 23

49ers (3-3) at Patriots (2-3)

4:25 p.m. Sunday. Patriots by 2. O/U: 45.

The 49ers threw the Rams out of their rhythm last week, and the Patriots are still trying to find their way. Still, the Patriots eke one out at home. Patriots 23, 49ers 21

Jaguars (1-5) at Chargers (1-4)

4:25 p.m. Sunday. Chargers by 71⁄ 2. O/U: 49. In a battle of one-win teams, the Chargers are significan­tly better. Justin Herbert has a week of rest and should pick up his first career victory. Chargers 34, Jaguars 24

Seahawks (5-0) at Cardinals (4-2)

8:20 p.m. Sunday. Seahawks by 31⁄ 2. O/U: 55. Kyler Murray is really fun to watch, but he also makes his share of mistakes, frequently throwing high and missing open receivers. Russell Wilson continues his roll. Seahawks 31, Cardinals 24

Bears (5-1) at Rams (4-2)

8:15 p.m. Monday. Rams by 6. O/U: 45.

This isn’t a great matchup for the Rams, especially considerin­g the way Chicago’s defense is playing. But the pressure is on the Rams to bounce back, and they have enough weapons to do that. Rams 24, Bears 20
