Atlanta (+6.5) at Cincinnati
These teams are more evenly matched than they really should be. And still, the game’s being played in Cincinnati. Bengals by four.

Detroit (+6.5) at Dallas
The Lions — I know this will come as a shock — are not a good football team. Cowboys by 14.

Indianapolis (+2.5) at Tennessee
The margin maybe isn’t what anyone expected, but the Titans are the better football team here. Tennessee by three.

Green Bay (-4.5) at Washington
It looks like the Packers are going to stumble through the whole of this season. This week that means stumbling into a win against the overmatched Handmaid’s Tale Villains. Green Bay by six.

Tampa Bay (-13) at Carolina
This is not going to be pretty. Buccaneers by 20.

NY Giants (+3) at Jacksonville
The spread on this game is, at the very least, backward. Giants by three.

Cleveland (+6.5) at Baltimore
I’m not anticipating much defense. Bet the over and look for the Ravens to win by four.

NY Jets (-1.5) at Denver
I’m not sure how the Jets keeping winning football games. But they do. New Jersey by a point.

Houston (+7) at Las Vegas
The Raiders clearly aren’t going anywhere in 2022. But if they figure out a way to lose this game, they should probably just go home. Las Vegas by six.

Seattle (+5) at LA Chargers
The team that possess the ball last — just to get out of this pick, let’s say it’s Los Angeles — by three.

Kansas City (-1) at San Francisco
I’m gonna look for he home team’s defense to carry this one. Niners take a low scoring game by a point.

Pittsburgh (+7.5) at Miami
I can’t take this Steelers team to pull off an upset in Miami. Just cant. Dolphins by six.

Chicago (+7.5) at New England
If it weren’t for the Patriots habit of not finishing drives, this one would be over by halftime. And even still, New England by 13.
