SUNDAY
Cleveland Browns (5-2) at Steelers (5-2), 1 p.m. — In case you need a reminder, the Browns haven’t won a regular-season game in Pittsburgh in 23 years. And they haven’t swept the Steelers since 1988. The Steelers have won three in a row since their loss in Cleveland. Don’t think any of those streaks will end.
Prediction: Steelers, 31-23

Baltimore Ravens (4-3) at Buffalo Bills (6-1), 1 p.m. — The Ravens need to get Lamar Jackson back. Without him, they’ve lost two in a row. That, though, doesn’t excuse how their defense gave up 35 points to the Cincinnati Bengals last week. And now the Ravens face the Bills, who average an NFL-best 32.8 points.
Prediction: Bills, 37-30
Tennessee Titans (1-6) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-2), 1 p.m. — After hammering the Ravens, the Bengals are showing they mean business in the AFC North. That’s what a healthy Joe Burrow and an improved defense will do. One week after their first win, the Titans pushed the Browns to the very end in Week 7.
Prediction: Bengals, 34-20
Arizona Cardinals (2-5) at Dallas Cowboys (3-4), 1 p.m. — The Cowboys have scored at least 34 points in four of their seven games, the latest coming last week in Philadelphia against their division rival. The Cardinals have allowed at least 30 points in all five of their losses. This game might add another.
Prediction: Cowboys, 33-19
Minnesota Vikings (6-0) at Detroit Lions (4-2), 1 p.m. — Not sure how much longer the Vikings defense can continue to cover for Kyler Murray, but so far, it hasn’t been a problem. Since scoring 39 in the opener against the Green Bay Packers, the Vikings are averaging 17.2 points. They might need more against the Lions.

Prediction: Lions, 23-17
Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) at New York Jets (2-5), 1 p.m. — After starting 3-0, the Raiders have lost their past four games. Not surprising because they allowed an average of 35.8 points during that stretch. It was another one-possession game for the Jets, though this one was embarrassing, losing to the previously winless Dolphins.
Prediction: Jets, 27-24
Atlanta Falcons (3-4) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-5), 1 p.m. — Not sure if it was the Baker Mayfield effect, but the Buccaneers put up a season-high 43 points last week in Carolina. Someone please explain how the Falcons can lose by 31 to the Panthers but also be the first team to beat the San Francisco 49ers.
Prediction: Buccaneers, 34-33
Indianapolis Colts (2-5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2), 1 p.m. — The Colts are trading away their best players, which usually means they’re telling the players who remain they are packing it in for 2026. Never a good thing. The Jaguars, who had their three-game win streak ended by the Houston Texans, will pounce.
Prediction: Jaguars, 45-3
Los Angeles Chargers (0-6) at Los Angeles Rams (3-4), 4:05 p.m. — The Chargers are playing a road game in their own stadium, which is what happens when the Giants play the Jets at MetLife Stadium. Maybe it’s a good thing the Rams are 1-3 at home. Question: Why doesn’t the NFL schedule games in Los Angeles in December and January?
Prediction: Rams, 27-24
Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) at Denver Broncos (5-2), 4:25 p.m. — The Chiefs have proven once again that signing players of questionable character is something they have no problem doing so long as it helps them win. The Broncos have already beaten the Jaguars, Rams and Seattle Seahawks at home.
Prediction: Broncos, 20-19
New England Patriots (4-3) at Miami Dolphins (1-5), 4:25 p.m. — The Patriots had their three-game winning streak ended in Chicago. The Dolphins had their winless streak ended against the Jets. All of the Patriots’ losses have come on the road. And they’ve lost five of the past six in Miami.
Prediction: Patriots, 24-17
Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) at Washington Commanders (1-4-1), 8:20 p.m. — Things are deteriorating quickly for the Eagles, who have lost five in a row, including the past four at home. It might not get any better against the Commanders, who are coming off a bye.
Prediction: Commanders, 27-20
MONDAY
Chicago Bears (5-2) at Seattle Seahawks (4-3), 8:15 p.m. — Forget their record. The defending Super Bowl champions can still show how dominant they can be — witness last week’s shutdown of the unbeaten Chiefs. The Seahawks will have a similar challenge trying to stop Caleb Williams and the Bears.
Prediction: Bears, 31-30
