New England Patriots @ Carolina Panthers
The Panthers evened their record at 4-4 with another ugly win over Atlanta. That snapped a four-game losing streak and Carolina is closer to getting Christian McCaffrey back on the field. The Patriots have been surprisingly good this season and got their biggest win of the season on Sunday when they beat the Chargers 27-24. The Patriots defense has been solid and rookie QB Mac Jones has been exactly what was advertised. This one will be a battle… CAROLINA 18, NEW ENGLAND 16
Buffalo Bills @ Jacksonville Jaguars
The Bills got back on the winning track with a win over Miami. It wasn’t pretty, but the Bills shook off the bye week and moved to 5-2. They begin a stretch of three road games in four weeks with a trip to Jacksonville. The Jaguars are simply not goo. The Jags rank 26th in total defense and 28th in scoring defense. The Bills and Josh Allen can put points on the board on anyone… BUFFALO 45, JACKSONVILLE 10
Minnesota Vikings @ Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens enjoyed a week off after losing to Cincinnati home the week prior. Baltimore needs to get back on track if the Ravens are going to hold off Pittsburgh and Cincy to win the AFC North. That means they have to take care of the Vikings at home. The two teams haven’t played in four years. Minnesota won the last game, but the last time the teams played in Baltimore the Ravens won 29-26. Home field will make a difference… BALTIMORE 28, MINNESOTA 24
