The Rams can throw off that formula by winning up front and forcing Newton to pa s. The Patriots are still weakest in their run defense and the Rams have gotten into a groove with their young Joe Montana Jersey committee to take pre sure off Jared Goff.Pick:Rams win 20-13and cover the spread.MORE: | Game of theWeek: Steelers (-1.5, 47.5 o/u) at Bills Sunday, 8:20p.m. ET, NBC The Steelers get their toughest test yetin trying to stay undefeated in the conference through the regular season.

Josh Allen will make the key mistakes while under pre sure late.Pick: Steelers win 27-20 and cover the spread. The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Lock of the Week: Packers(-7.5, 55o/u) over Lions Sunday, 4:25p.m. ET, Fox The Packers aren't getting enough respect with this number. They are rolling offensively with Aaron Jones back joining the party with Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. The Lions have zero answers for any of them as Green Bay can pa s and run at will here with no mistakes. Detroit doesn't run well enough to stay in the game and eventually Matthew Stafford succumbs to sacks and giveaways.Pick: Packers win 34-21and cover the spread.Upset of the Week: Bears over Texans (-2.5, 46o/u) Sunday 1 p.m. ET, CBS The Bears were able to get their running game going with David Montgomery and were about to win until Mitchell Trubisky fumbled away the Lions game late Tevin Coleman Jersey . Deshaun Watson still is the much better first-round quarterback from the 2017 draft, but Trubisky is the one who can lean on the rushing attack against a bad Houston run defense and know his pa s defense will be eager to rebound from a rough home game against the Lions.Pick: Bears win 24-20. The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Vikings at Buccaneers(-6.5, 52.5o/u) Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, Fox The Vikings will see their run-heavy approach stymied by the rested and mighty Bucs' run defense. Dalvin Cook will be contained in that capacity, putting plenty of heat on Kirk Cousins and his elite wide receivers to keep up with Tom Brady and his bevy of weapons working on a weak secondary and a Vikings zone defense. Minnesota's recent sluggish starts haunt it against Tampa Bay, which will be better organized coming off a bye.Pick: Buccaneers win 30-20 and cover the spread.Cardinals at Giants (-2.5, 45 o/u) Sunday,1 p.m. ET, Fox The Cardinals step into another tough defensive matchup with a team getting revved up with the inside-outside pa s rush and backing it up with good coverage.

Patrick Mahomes will make amends back on the field where he won Super Bowl MVP in February. Tua Tagovailoa can keep playing well and the Dolphins' defense will present some challenges, but the Dolphins have gotten away with a favorable schedule and will have a let down against the refocused champs.Pick: Chiefs win 27-14and cover the spread.Titans (-7.5, 53 o/u) at Jaguars Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS The Titans' defense has plenty of holes and when their offense is helping out by running for big chunks and pa sing for big plays to build a big lead, it's set up to get exposed by a balanced, explosive attack. Derrick Henry will get back to rushing at a high level, setting up Ryan Tannehill for another big afternoon on the road. Mike Glennon has sparked the Jaguars' offense, with good help from James Robinson, and they will hang around again to make it close.Pick: Titans win 31-24 but fail to cover the spread. The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.Cowboys (-3.5, 43.5 o/u) at Bengals Sunday, Kwon Alexander Jersey 1p.m. ET, Fox Andy Dalton gets a revenge game against his former team, except he won't get to duel his succe sor, Joe Burrow. That's a big break for the Cowboys' defense, as is a weak Bengals' offensive line and no running game without Joe Mixon. The Cowboys can get their running game rolling again with Ezekiel Elliott and Dalton's receivers have good matchups acro s the board. This isn't in prime time in Cincinnati, which means Dalton plays well and wins a game.Pick:Cowboys win 24-20 and cover the spread.Broncos at Panthers (-3.5, 47 o/u) Sunday, 1 p.m. ET, CBS The Broncos have to pick up the pieces from a tough lo s to the Chiefs while the Panthers are home-standing after a bye.
