Atlanta Falcons (-3) at Carolina Panthers — The Falcons lost a heartbreaker last week but have been competitive every week. The Panthers are in transition, and Steve Wilks fired several assistants after last week’s loss. Marcus Mariota is better than PJ Walker. Falcons cover
Sunday, November 13, 9:30am
Seattle Seahawks at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-2 1/2) — The Seahawks have been playing very good football to maintain a lead in the NFC West. Tom Brady pulled a rabbit out of his hat to get the Buccaneers a win they desperately needed. This game will go a long way toward seeing whether they saved their season or delayed the decline. Go with the home field and the experience over a Seahawks team with heart. Buccaneers cover
1pm
Minnesota Vikings at Buffalo Bills (-7 1/2) — The Vikings are 7-1, but playing at Buffalo is a tough test. The Bills will be angry after a road loss to the Jets. The Bills have the better defense. Kirk Cousins is playing well, but Josh Allen is at an elite level. Allen may have injured his elbow last week. This will not be a cakewalk for the Bills, since the Vikings can run the ball. Bills win but fail to cover
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears (-2 1/2) — The Lions won a shocker at home against Green Bay last week. Chicago is improving, but Justin Fields is now being overhyped just as strongly as he was cast off a couple weeks ago. Go with the home field, especially since the Detroit defense cannot stop anyone. Bears cover
Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City Chiefs (-9 1/2) — The Chiefs had a tough time last week, but Tennessee has a much tougher defense than the Jaguars. The Chiefs have too many weapons. This will not be close. Chiefs cover

Houston Texans at New York Giants (-6 1/2) — The Giants lost a road game at Seattle, but they are still much improved. The Texans may be the worst team in the league. The Giants do not win easily. Saquon Barkley can run, but a garbage touchdown for the Texans is possible. Giants win but fail to cover
New Orleans Saints (-2 1/2) at Pittsburgh Steelers — The Steelers are a mess. The Saints have a defense, Their offense has not played a complete game yet. Expect the Saints defense to feast on rookie Kenny Pickett. Saints cover

Indianapolis Colts at Las Vegas Raiders (-6) — The Colts fired Frank reich and replaced him with Jeff Saturday, who has never coached a game at any level.

Raiders win but fail to cover

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams (-3) — Neither of these teams is playing good football. Sean McVay is a better play-caller than Kliff Kingsbury. Aaron Donald is still elite. The Rams beat up Tom Brady for 59 minutes and collapsed in the final minute. kyler Murray is not Tom Brady. Rams cover
8pm
Los Angeles Chargers at San Francisco 49ers (-7) — The 49ers are playing solid defense. The Chargers consistently underachieve. Jimmy Garoppolo has more weapons than Justin Herbert. The spread is too high. 49ers win but fail to cover
Monday, November 14, 8pm
Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles (-10 1/2) — Taylor Heinecke is not playing badly, but the Eagles are undefeated for a reason. A division game in prime time means a garbage touchdown could beat the spread. Eagles win but fail to cover
