Thursday Night Football may be a highlight for once as the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens get round two in a matchup that previously yielded the year’s best game. Baltimore is a big home favorite but has a suspect defense facing a red-hot Cincinnati attack. Sunday, the New York Giants are favored against the Carolina Panthers in the season’s first (and only) Germany game, and the Chicago Bears are big favorites at home against the New England Patriots .
Chicago beats up bad teams and needs a win for the sake of a few people’s job security. Advertisement The Buffalo Bills roll into Indianapolis as favorites, but it could be close as the Indianapolis Colts haven’t had a game decided by less than eight points this season. The Minnesota Vikings get a rebound from an ugly Week 9 game as road favorites in Jacksonville, and the Atlanta Falcons have the odds edge against the battered Saints in New Orleans.
The Kansas City Chiefs are favored by more than a touchdown at home against the Denver Broncos thanks to the narrative boost of a perfect record. Denver took an uncharacteristic beating against Baltimore, but the Chiefs don’t do blowouts. Baker Mayfield can’t do much more than he has, but career-best play hasn’t translated to wins.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are heavy home dogs against the San Francisco 49ers , and a robust over/under suggests another heartbreaking shootout loss for the Bucs. The Washington Commanders are slight home favorites against the Pitts.
