Thursday, 5:15 p.m. TV: Amazon Prime.
Line: Steelers by 5½. O/U: 43½.
The Steelers, feasting on turnovers lately, are facing another shaky team. The Bengals’ offense looks better with Joe Flacco, but the defense is terrible.
Pick: Steelers 21, Bengals 17
Rams (4-2) vs. Jaguars (4-2)
Sunday, 6:30 a.m. TV: NFL Network; Fox (in L.A. area).
Line: Rams by 3. O/U: 44½.
Matthew Stafford’s offense has been humming, and though potentially losing Puka Nacua hurts, the Rams can still run and stay balanced. Jacksonville has put together some big wins so this will be back and forth.
Pick: Rams 27, Jaguars 23
Raiders (2-4) at Chiefs (3-3)
Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Chiefs by 11½. O/U: 45½.
Chiefs are getting Rashee Rice back and are riding momentum. Raiders aren’t on their level despite a decent win last week. Kansas City looks primed for a statement game.
Pick: Chiefs 30, Raiders 20
Eagles (4-2) at Vikings (3-2)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: Fox.
Line: Eagles by 1½. O/U: 43½.
The Vikings blitz a lot, and Philly is struggling with blitz pickup the way it did two years ago. That makes it a tight matchup, but the Eagles have more answers late.
Pick: Eagles 23, Vikings 20
Saints (1-5) at Bears (3-2)
Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Bears by 5½. O/U: 46½.
These teams are fairly evenly matched, but home field gives the Bears the edge. Saints keep losing tight games. Bears find a way in familiar surroundings.
Pick: Bears 27, Saints 17
Dolphins (1-5) at Browns (1-5)
Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Browns by 3. O/U: 39½.
The Browns’ offense looks ho-hum and inconsistent. The Dolphins can score, and that’s the difference. Browns might keep it close on the ground, but Miami pulls away late.
Pick: Dolphins 23, Browns 17
Patriots (4-2) at Titans (1-5)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Patriots by 7. O/U: 41½.
Drake Maye has a big arm and leadership that makes him dangerous. New England’s defense is versatile and well-coached. Titans are in a strange post-firing limbo and can’t keep up.
Pick: Patriots 28, Titans 17
Panthers (3-3) at Jets (0-6)
Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Panthers by 1½. O/U: 42½.
Carolina is 3-0 at home and playing better ball. The Jets offense is sputtering badly. Panthers ride their momentum and another strong Bryce Young performance.
Pick: Panthers 24, Jets 13
Colts (5-1) at Chargers (4-2)

Sunday, 1:05 p.m. TV: CBS
Line: Chargers by 1½. O/U: 48½.
Chargers are too banged up, despite their win at Miami. Colts keep rolling offensively, even if last week was tighter than expected. Health is the difference here.
Pick: Colts 31, Chargers 24
Giants (2-4) at Broncos (4-2)
Sunday, 1:05 p.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Broncos by 7. O/U: 40½.
Giants could easily be better if not for turnovers, but Denver’s defense is legit and should make life tough for Jaxson Dart. The Broncos protect home field in a lower-scoring game.
Pick: Broncos 24, Giants 20
Commanders (3-3) at Cowboys (2-3-1)
Sunday, 1:25 p.m. TV: Fox.
Line: Commanders by 1½. O/U: 54½.
Jayden Daniels is the best player on the field right now. Dallas’ defense just lost to Carolina, making it hard to trust. Expect a high-scoring game that goes Washington’s way.
Pick: Commanders 31, Cowboys 27
Packers (3-1-1) at Cardinals (2-4)

Sunday, 1:25 p.m. TV: NFL Ticket.
Line: Packers by 6½. O/U: 44½.
This will feel like a Packers home game in the desert. Whether it’s Jacoby Brissett or Kyler Murray, Green Bay has the offensive firepower to win — although the Cardinals defense is no pushover.
Pick: Packers 24, Cardinals 18
Falcons (3-2) at 49ers (4-2)
Sunday, 5:20 p.m. TV: NBC, Peacock.
Line: 49ers by 2½. O/U: 47½.
San Francisco is banged up and just lost Fred Warner. Atlanta’s healthier and coming off a bye. The 49ers are still dangerous, but the attrition catches up here.
Pick: Falcons 23, 49ers 18
Buccaneers (5-1) at Lions (4-2)

Monday, 4 p.m. TV: ABC, ESPN.
Line: Lions by 5½. O/U: 52½.
The Buccaneers catch Detroit at a good time with key injuries. Baker Mayfield keeps the Bucs in games, and their defense, while inconsistent, can be opportunistic. Tampa Bay steals it late.
Pick: Buccaneers 28, Lions 24
Texans (2-3) at Seahawks (4-2)
Monday, 7 p.m. TV: ESPN.
Line: Seahawks 3½. O/U: 40½.
Seattle’s offense is rounding into form, and the defense is playing with confidence. A good front four can expose that Texans offensive line. Seahawks control this one at home.
Daniel Jones: Being an MVP candidate doesn't mean much after six weeks
One of the most surprising developments of this NFL season is that Colts quarterback Daniel Jones is an MVP candidate. But Jones brushed that off when asked about it this week.
Asked what it means to him that people are talking about him as a potential Most Valuable Player, Jones answered, "Not much after six weeks."
"We've got a long way to go. I've really enjoyed playing with these guys, I think we've got a lot of talented players across the board, and just trying to do my part in that," Jones continued.
At 5-1, the Colts are one of the NFL's pleasant surprises, but Jones said they're just focused on what's in front of them.
"Still a long way to go. I think we all know that," Jones said.
Everyone knows that the season is far from over, but if Jones plays for 11 more games like he played in the first six, he will at least appear on MVP ballots, if not win the award outright. Given where he's been in his career until now, that in itself is remarkable.
