Steelers (12-4 in 2020) at Bills (13-3) Sunday, 1 p.m. ET Line: Bills by 6 ½. O/U: 48 ½. Steelers are rolling out a new offense — do they build new offenses in Pittsburgh? — and have a revamped line. Bills 34, Steelers 27

Jets (2-14) at Panthers (5 -1 1 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Panthers by 3 ½. O/U: 44 ½. Sam Darnold faces old team right away, and has a better skill cast than he ever had in New York. Panthers 30, Jets 20

Jaguars (1 -1 5 ) at Texans (4 -1 2 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Jaguars by 3. O/U: 45 ½. The Tex ans are going tor unit on some people, and Tyrod Taylor can do a respectable job. But Houston’s defense is terrible. Jaguars 28, Texans 20

Cardinals (8 -8 ) at Titans (1 1 -5 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Titans by 3. O/U: 52 ½. The Titans will run it down their throat with Derrick Henry, then play-action off that to A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. Titans 38, Cardinals 31

Chargers (7-9) at Washington (7-9) Sunday ,1 p.m. Line: Washington by 1½. O/ U :44½. Justin Herbert is phenomenal, but Chargers are going cross-country and might need time to adjust to WFT’s D. Washington 27, Chargers 23

Vikings (7-9) at Bengals (4 -1 1 -1 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Vikings by 3. O/U: 47 ½. We’ll find out soon how Joe Burrow looks on that reconstructed knee. He has some good options, but that O-line is bad. Vikings 24, Bengals 20

49ers (6 -1 0 ) at Lions (5 -1 1 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: 49ers by 8 ½. O/U: 45 ½. The 49ers will trample the Lions, and it’s going to be tough for Jared Goff vs. that (healthy) defense. 49ers 31, Lions 17

Eagles (4 -1 1 -1 ) at Falcons (4 -1 2 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Falcons by 3. O/U: 48 ½. These teams are bad. This comes down to who’s the better quarterback, and that’s Matt Ryan over Jalen Hurts. Falcons 24, Eagles 20

Seahawks (1 2 -4 ) at Colts (1 1 -5 )

Sunday, 1 p.m. Line: Seahawks by 3. O/U: 50 ½. The Colts have some injury issues, but a great defense. Russell Wilson gets it done for the visitors. Seahawks 28, Colts 24

Browns (1 1 -5 ) at Chiefs (1 4 -2 )

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Line: Chiefs by 5 ½. O/U: 54 ½. With Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney off the edges, and the Browns’ ability to run, this could be Week 1 stunner. Browns 28, Chiefs 27

Dolphins (1 0 -6 ) at Patriots (7 -9 )

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Line: Patriots by 3. O/U: 43 ½. Hard to read how good Tua Tagovailoa will be, but he executes RPO slant as well as anyone. Dolphins 24, Patriots 17

Broncos (5 -1 1 ) at Giants (6 -1 0 )

Sunday, 4:25 p.m. Line: Broncos by 3. O/U: 41 ½. Will be interesting to see how Saquon Barkley looks, but he’s playing behind a bad offensive line. Broncos 23, Giants 20

Bears (8 -8 ) at Rams (1 0 -6 )

Sunday, 8:20 p.m. Line: Rams by 7 ½. O/U: 46 ½. Matthew Stafford makes debut against a familiar opponent and makes good use of his receiving weapons. Rams 34, Bears 21

Ravens (1 1 -5 ) at Raiders (8 -8 )

Monday, 8:15 p.m. Line: Ravens by 3 ½. O/U: 50 ½. Raiders have gotten a little better on defense, although a little better isn’t going to be enough against Lamar Jackson and Co. Ravens31, Raiders 24
