LA Chargers (2-5) at Chicago (3-3)
The Chargers are a better team than their record shows. Chicago is on a two-game losing streak after starting 3-1. This game will be closer than it should be, coming down to defense. The Bears are the favorite but the Chargers should pull out a win as the slight underdog. Take LA and the under.

Money: NYG +230, DET -270
O/U: 49.5
NY Jets (1-5) at Jacksonville (3-4)
The Jets got their first win over Dallas but were then shut out by the Patriots. Their momentum has taken quite a hit over the last two weeks. Jacksonville is playing in close games. A few plays in their favor would’ve had them at 4-3 or even 5-2. Take the Jags to win and cover. Take the over.

Money: NYJ +260, JAX -310
O/U: 40.5
Philadelphia (3-4) at Buffalo (5-1)

Money: PHI +104, BUF -120
O/U: 39.5
Seattle (5-2) at Atlanta (1-6)

Point: SEA -7.5
Money: SEA -310, ATL +260
O/U: 50
Tampa Bay (2-4) at Tennessee (3-4)
This is a toss-up. The Bucs were once on fire and have now cooled down. They are going up against Ryan Tannehill, who is surprising everyone since taking over for Mariota.

Point: TEN -1.5
Money: TB +106, TEN -122
O/U: 45.5
Carolina (4-2) at San Francisco (6-0)

Money: CAR +174, SF -200
O/U: 40.5

Point: NE -10.5
Money: CLE +360, NE -450
O/U: 42.5

Point: HOU -6.5
Money: OAK +240, HOU -280
O/U: 51.5
Green Bay (6-1) at Kansas City (5-2)
If Mahomes wasn’t sidelined, this would have been the game of the week to match. Instead, the Packers should be able to outlast Matt Moore. Take the Packers to cover and take the over.

Money: GB -235, KC +200
O/U: 47.5
Monday Night Football
Miami (0-6) at Pittsburgh (2-4)
