Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Commanders (+6.5)
1 p.m. ET, FOX
Cowherd's decide, rating prediction: Commanders +6.5 (Commanders win 27-26).
Cowherd's ideas: "I like Philly, however (I am) not giving the Commanders 6.5 at residence in a division rivalry. I am taking Washington right here. Carson Wentz revenge sport. He is performed nice — back-to-back 300-plus passing yard video games. He is bought good wideouts. I like Washington. This season Carson Wentz has been wonderful. He is tied for first in passing touchdowns, sixth in passer score. The Eagles are coming off a brief week. Their protection gave up 35 (factors) to the Lions. I feel you'll be able to transfer the ball on Philadelphia. They arrive again right down to earth a bit of. I like them large image, however 6.5 factors to Washington? I am calling for the upset."

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Los Angeles Chargers (-7)
4:05 p.m. ET, CBS
Cowherd's decide, rating prediction: Jaguars +7 (Jaguars win 27-23).
Cowherd's ideas: "How about one other upset? I will take the Jaguars +7. Their protection is prime 10 in scoring, prime 10 in whole protection and takeaways. They will put strain on whoever the quarterback is for the Chargers. Trevor Lawrence lastly discovered the proper coach in Yr 2. He is taking part in nice soccer, eliminating (the ball) faster, and Justin Herbert has a fractured cartilage in his ribs. … Day-to-day, could not play. Their middle Corey Linsley, a Professional-Bowler, knee — could not play. Keenan Allen, not one hundred pc. J.C. Jackson, the nook, not one hundred pc. Trey Pipkins, offensive lineman, not at one hundred pc. The banged-up Chargers, they might simply relaxation Justin Herbert. It is not a divisional sport."

Atlanta Falcons @ Seattle Seahawks (-1.5)
4:25 p.m. ET, FOX
Cowherd's decide, rating prediction: Falcons +1.5 (Falcons win 27-23).
Cowherd's ideas: "One in all my favourite bets of the week. Prefer it? I adore it. … They've two losses by a complete of 5 factors. Marcus Mariota has all the time been good, he simply cannot keep wholesome. He [has] been wonderful up to now. They're 5-2 courting again to final yr once they face groups underneath .500. They cannot beat the great groups. They beat the dangerous groups although, and Seattle [is] a foul workforce. Drake London [has] been spectacular. Mariota — he is considered one of three quarterbacks with (no less than) 400 passing yards and 75 speeding yards this yr. Lamar [Jackson] and Jalen Hurts are the others. Seahawks offense? They cannot run the soccer. Geno Smith is 14-22 in his profession. That is my favourite guess on the board."

Inexperienced Bay Packers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-1.5)
4:25 p.m. ET, FOX
Cowherd's decide, rating prediction: Buccaneers -1.5 (Buccaneers win 28-21).
Cowherd's ideas: "Preserve your eye on this line. … I am gonna take the Bucs. … It is their residence debut. By the best way, their protection pressured 5 turnovers within the second half in opposition to the Saints, and their protection is totally wholesome and on fireplace, and Todd Bowles is a superb defensive coach. The Packers have misplaced 4 of 5 street video games. … Inexperienced Bay's protection seems good on paper, however it's younger in spots and never fairly gelling."

San Francisco 49ers @ Denver Broncos (+1.5)
8:20 p.m. ET, NBC
Cowherd's decide, rating prediction: 49ers -1.5 (49ers win 24-21).
Cowherd's ideas: "Jimmy [Garoppolo] got here in final week for Trey Lance. He seemed good. Passer score over 100, two TDs, no picks. I do know you do not like him, however he distributes the ball to their playmakers. On Sunday Night time Soccer, he is performed six occasions — he is received 4 of them and his passer score is 105. Their offense in San Francisco [is] out-rushing their opponents by 230 yards this yr, and their protection has been completely implausible. The Broncos cannot rating within the pink zone as a result of Russell Wilson does not run round anymore. They're 0-6 in red-zone scoring alternatives, they usually're the one workforce within the league with 100-plus penalty yards per sport — they usually're burning timeouts, and situationally they seem to be a mess. I feel San Francisco has the second-best roster within the league to Buffalo. Pains me to say it, however I can not wait to observe it."
