Jake: Cardinals
The Jets are the worst team in the league.
Sam: Cardinals
The Cardinals have not lived up to *some people* (Jakes) expectations, but they are still an incredibly talented team who has won a couple games this year. The Jets on the other hand have not won yet and will be playing with their back up QB.
Johnny: Cardinals
Las Vegas @ Kansas City

Jacksonville @ Houston
Jake: Texans
The Jaguars aren’t great, but at least they’re playing better than expected, as most people expected them to be the worst team in the league. Houston also just shook up their whole season by firing their HC. Yes, that HC happened to be one of the worst coaches in the NFL, but it still will take time for them to transition before they are ultimately better off. Nonetheless the Jags pass rush is already bad enough, and with their best edge rusher Josh Allen out, Watson will have all day to throw in this one.
Sam: Texans
I have picked this Houston team almost every week and they won't stop losing. This is the game though. My weekly Texans pick will finally be correct. If it isn't I may quit on this team for good...
Johnny: Texans
Cincinnati @ Baltimore
Jake: Ravens
Sam: Baltimore
Sorry Jeaux this is gonna be a tough one.
Johnny: Ravens
Carolina @ Atlanta
Jake: Panthers
Teddy Bridgewater has my expectations especially with CMC out, and the Falcons are one of the least disciplined teams in the league. The Falcons are the better team on paper, but that hasn’t seemed to matter for them this year.
Sam: Falcons
Johnny: Panthers

Indianapolis @ Cleveland 4:25pm
Jake: Browns
Kareem Hunt is a little banged up, but he’s looked great so far, and will assert himself as one of the best backs in the league again with a big game for the Chubb-less Browns. Indy hasn’t had the most difficult schedule through 4 weeks and while I think this is gonna be close, the Browns have done a good job of limiting Baker’s role in their offense, which has helped their cause. Myles Garrett is also playing like he has something to prove, and as unbelievably good as this Colts O-Line is, I think this is the first game where Rivers will see some significant pressure.
Sam: Colts
I don't believe in Baker. I will never believe in Baker. My head is firmly in the sand.
Johnny: Browns
Minnesota @ Seattle 8:20pm
Jake: Seahawks
Sam: Seahawks

MONDAY
Los Angeles (A) @ New Orleans 8:15pm
Jake: Saints
If the Chargers had Austin Ekeler I think this game would be closer, but assuming the questionable Michael Thomas plays in this game they should be able to hold off the Chargers.
Sam: Saints
