Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers (-5)
The Eagles (1-2) are a bit healthier than they were Sunday, but the Packers 93-0) present a tall order. Aaron Rodgers, on the road, in a short week. Now ideal for Philadelphia, which desperately needs to win.
Pick: Green Bay 23, Philadelphia 20
Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans (-4)
Kyle Allen threw four touchdowns in his pro debut for the Panthers (1-2). Still, beating the Texans (2-1) is much tougher than handling Arizona. Provided Deshaun Watson isn’t sacked 37 times by halftime, Houston should be in good shape.
Pick: Houston 30, Carolina 19
Cleveland Browns at Baltimore Ravens (-7)
Why would anybody pick the Browns (1-2) in this game? Baltimore (2-1) has played significantly better to this point, is at home, and has a far superior head coach. Freddie Kitchens looks lost, and until he figures out a forward pass is allowed to travel more than four feet, Cleveland is in trouble.
Pick: Baltimore 22, Cleveland 16
Kansas City Chiefs (-6) at Detroit Lions
The Chiefs (3-0) look unstoppable, at least offensively. Baltimore has a terrific defense and Patrick Mahomes led the way to more than 500 yards. The Lions (2-0-1) will get their points, but keeping up with Kansas City’s aerial circus is almost impossible.
Pick: Kansas City 44, Detroit 24
