Charles: Giants

Ugh, I don’t know. They’re both so bad. So I’ll take the points. It’s a divisional game and the Giants defense has proven it has just enough oomph in it to keep games like this close.

Steven: Eagles

So, the Eagles offense has actually looked decent for the last two weeks and Carson Wentz is getting hot. I know Philly’s defense is a mess but I don’t really trust a Jason Garrett-coached offense to exploit it.

Charles: Browns

I’ve gone back and forth on this one a bunch, but in the end, all I could see was Myles Garrett sacking Joe Burrow three times and pressuring the rookie all day. Yeah, I’m worried about Baker Mayfield, but not this week when he’ll hand the ball to Kareem Hunt 25 times.

Steven: Browns

Not quite sure the Bengals have the defense to disrupt this Browns offense and force Baker Mayfield to beat them from the pocket. They certainly didn’t in that first game.

Charles: Cowboys

This is a game they should win. If not, yikes.

Steven: Cowboys

I know things are going bad for the Cowboys right now, but they’re not going that bad! This Washington offense might be what Dallas needs to get its defense right.

Charles: Falcons

Matt Ryan + Julio Jones is all I need to know. If this is a shootout, I back Matty Ice at home over Matty Stafford on the road.

Steven: Lions

This is really just a gut feeling. Both these offenses should put up points, it just comes down to which passing game you trust more. I’ll take Detroit’s.

Charles: Panthers

I hate this pick. I get the feeling the Saints, fresh off a bye, are looking to prove they’re better than their 3-2 record. But the Panthers continue to hang tough.

Steven: Panthers

Yeah, the line is way too big. The Saints should win this one but have we seen anything from this team that suggests they should be favored by a touchdown over a competitive team?

Charles: Bills

Next.

Steven: Jets

I think we’ve gotten to the point where the Jets are just a bit underrated. They’re bad, but people are acting like they’re one of the worst teams in NFL history. I don’t think that’s the case.

Charles: Packers

The Texans nearly beat the Titans. But the Packers are coming off an embarrassing loss to Tampa Bay, which will motivate them to get back on track and blow this mediocre Texans team out in Lambeau.

Steven: Packers

Deshaun Watson has been one of the better quarterbacks in the league this season and has straight-up carried this team, BUT … Aaron Rodgers has been even better and has more help around him. And that line is more than manageable.

Charles: Steelers

Shouldn’t this line be reversed? The Steelers are the better defense, so I’ll gladly take the points.

Steven: Steelers

I’m with Charles. This is an odd line that the Steelers will cover with ease. They have a defense good enough to keep Tennessee in obvious passing situations, which will hurt their play-action passing game.

Charles: Cardinals

I think the Hawks are the better team, but I just see this game being a shootout, so I’ll take Arizona to cover, nervously.

Steven: Seahawks

I just haven’t seen enough from this Cardinals offense to think they can beat a team as good as the Seahawks. Even against a bad Cowboys defense, Arizona’s passing game just looked off.

Charles: Patriots

Last week was a wake-up call. I think Cam Newton plays better and Bill Belichick gets the defense back on track against the QB he traded away.

Steven: Patriots

That was a flukey loss for the Pats last week. A lot of uncharacteristic mistakes that I don’t expect them to repeat. And Bill Belichick will have Jimmy G’s head spinning.

Charles: Chiefs

That’s a large spread, but Kansas City had no problem handling Josh Allen last week. And Drew Lock is no Josh Allen.

Steven: Chiefs

Any concern about the Chief’s offense should have been alleviated with that performance in Buffalo. Steve Spagnuolo and this defense dominated Drew Lock mentally last season and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened again.

Charles: Chargers

I’m kind of intrigued by the points, but the Chargers are coming off a bye and Justin Jackson will run all over the Jags.

Steven: Jaguars

Yes, the Jaguars are bad but their offense is decent and I just can’t trust a rookie quarterback making his fifth start to cover a spread that big.

Charles: Buccaneers

Raiders’ HC Jon Gruden said his team sent home all five starting offensive linemen today because they were closest to Trent Brown, who will be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Note that this line could change due to the news above. But before that, I was still going with the Bucs, whose defense is no joke.

Steven: Buccaneers

For a second straight week, the oddsmakers are discounting the Bucs. Last week’s Packers game was a lock and this one should be, too.

Charles: Bears

The Rams’ loss to the Niners was alarming, so I’d say this spread shouldn’t be this large. Give me the points.

Steven: Bears

The Rams are clearly the better team — no matter what the records say — but the Bears defense is good enough to bother Jared Goff and keep this game close. I’ll take the points.
