SUNDAY
Steelers (4-2) at New Orleans Saints (2-4), 9:30 a.m. in Paris — Sacre bleu! The Saints ended their three-game losing streak by scoring 34 points and beating the Giants in New York. They have been in Paris since Monday morning, waiting for the Steelers, who are trying to win their third in a row. But, au contraire, the 2025 Steelers actually scored more points after six games than this team.
Prediction: Steelers, 30-24

Cleveland Browns (4-2) at Tennessee Titans (1-5), 1 p.m. — OK, which was more surprising — the Browns beating the Ravens or the Titans finally winning a game and beating the Colts in Indianapolis? It would be just like the Browns to go to Nashville and lose after being tied at the top of the division. Nah.
Prediction: Browns, 23-16
Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) at Baltimore Ravens (4-2), 1 p.m. — The Bengals should be well rested after a bye, while the Ravens can’t wait for Lamar Jackson to return. The Bengals could really jumble everything at the top of the AFC North — one of only two divisions with every team over .500 — with a win.
Prediction: Ravens, 31-30
San Francisco 49ers (6-0) at Atlanta Falcons (2-4), 1 p.m. — The Falcons can’t win at home (0-3), and the 49ers can’t lose on the road (2-0) ... or anywhere else for that matter (Australia). The 49ers, who already had a three-game lead in the division, lead the league in point differential (plus-67).
Prediction: 49ers, 30-19
Indianapolis Colts (2-4) at Minnesota Vikings (5-0), 1 p.m. — Talk about embarrassing — losing at home to the winless Titans? The Colts, though, have averaged 24 points in their four defeats. They might not get to that number against the Vikings, who have allowed 42 points in their past four games.

Prediction: Vikings, 24-12
Miami Dolphins (0-5) at New York Jets (2-4), 1 p.m. — With the exception of a loss in Chicago, the Jets have been involved in one-possession games in three of their four defeats. That includes last week in New England. They don’t have to worry about it this week — a loss, that is.
Prediction: Jets, 23-14
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5) at Carolina Panthers (3-2), 1 p.m. — If you watched Jalon Daniels against the Steelers, you will understand why the Buccaneers are glad to get Baker Mayfield back. It might not matter against the Panthers, though. They are coming off back-to-back wins against the Lions and Eagles.
Prediction: Panthers, 33-25
New York Giants (3-2) at Houston Texans (2-4), 1 p.m. — After starting with four consecutive losses, the Texans seem to be finding their two-step again after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Giants are switching to J.J. McCarthy. Poor Najee Harris, unemployed again. Will never learn.
Prediction: Texans, 31-13
Denver Broncos (4-2) at Arizona Cardinals (2-4), 4:05 p.m. — After beating the Rams in Los Angeles, anything is possible with the Cardinals. And, with the suddenly erratic Bo Nix at quarterback, anything is possible with the Broncos. This one showcases a couple good defenses with a couple shaky offenses.
Prediction: Cardinals, 19-17
Green Bay Packers (4-2) at Detroit Lions (3-2), 4:25 p.m. — The Lions have scored 31 points in each of their two home victories and might need to score that many against the Packers, who have won three in a row. Each of these teams doesn’t want to fall too far behind the front-running Vikings in the NFC North.
Prediction: Lions, 31-27
Los Angeles Rams (2-4) at Las Vegas Raiders (3-3), 4:25 p.m. — Those Super Bowl visions for the Rams certainly look a whole lot more blurry, especially after losing to the Cardinals. This will be a tough out for the Rams — trying to beat Kirk Cousins in Vegas. They better find some points.
Prediction: Rams, 37-34
Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) at Seattle Seahawks (3-3), 8:20 p.m. — The Seahawks can get rid of that little Super Bowl hangover by becoming the first team to beat the Chiefs. But that won’t be easy. Also, can anyone explain why the Seahawks would let Kenneth Walker III get away? Now, they have to stop him.
Prediction: Chiefs, 20-16
MONDAY
Dallas Cowboys (2-4) at Philadelphia Eagles (2-4), 8:15 p.m. — The Cowboys have lost six of the past seven meetings at Lincoln Financial Field. But the Eagles have lost four in a row and — more importantly — Jalen Hurts for the season. Their once-potent offense has scored just 58 points during their losing streak.
Prediction: Cowboys, 21-17
