1. Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) vs. NE – The Falcons are a different team at home and catch the Patriots at a good time. TE Rob Gronkowski is unlikely to play as is WR Danny Amendola, limiting Brady’s weapons in what could be a game where they need the offense.
Atlanta will cover the point spread and knock off the Pats at home.

2. Cincinnati Bengals (-4.5) vs. Cle – The Bengals are still coming together as a team, but their talent will win out on Sunday. Divisional games are typically close but look for QB Andy Dalton and Co. to win by a TD on the road.
3. Arizona Cardinals (+2.5) vs. TB – The Bucs are going with rookie QB Mike Glennon, which limits what they can do offensively. Arizona’s 1-2 and reeling after suffering through a string of injuries last week, but will upset the 0-3 Bucs this week.
4. San Diego Chargers (+2.5) vs. Dal – See money line bet.
Rounding things out
Baltimore Ravens (-3) vs. Buf – The Ravens are still struggling offensively, but its defense has come together.
Detroit Lions (-2.5) vs. Chi – The Lions are a better team offensively and defensively this year. They have more play makers. This game will be tight, but look for Detroit to knock off the Bears and tie them atop the NFC North.
New York Jets (+4) vs. Ten – The Jets D is better than more realize and Geno Smith isn’t as much of a liability as many thought he would be at this point.
Money Line Bet
San Diego Chargers (+110) vs. Dal – The Cowboys are an enigma; aside from whoopin’ the lowly Rams, they’ve been largely inconsistent. The Chargers are 1-2, but very likely could be 3-0 if not for two last minute losses. Neither team is particularly good but look for the Bolts to pull out the slight upset at home.
