Los Angeles Rams (-3) at Atlanta Falcons

The Rams (3-3) are a mess, but the Falcons (1-5) are a tire fire on top of a dumpster fire. It can’t get much worse than it has in Atlanta. One would imagine this may be the final game for head coach Dan Quinn.

Pick: Los Angeles 41, Atlanta 30

Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills (-17)

The Bills (4-1) are home, off a bye, hosting the Dolphins (0-6). Has there ever been an easier assignment in NFL history? Probably, but it’s a short list.

Pick: Buffalo 24, Miami 9

Minnesota Vikings (-1) at Detroit Lions

Love the Lions (2-2-1) in this game. Detroit is basically a couple of blown calls and an ounce of luck from being undefeated. The Vikings (4-2) are a good team, but trusting Kirk Cousins on the road against a good team should be done at one’s own peril.

Pick: Detroit 26, Minnesota 24

Oakland Raiders at Green Bay Packers (-6)

The Packers (5-1) have offensive issues, but getting this game at home is the difference. The Raiders (3-2) deserve a ton of credit for being a half-game out of the AFC West lead, but ultimately Derek Carr will have a tough time beating Aaron Rodgers and a good Green Bay defense.

Pick: Green Bay 29, Oakland 25

San Francisco 49ers (-10) at Washington Redskins

The 49ers (5-0) are legitimate. The Redskins (1-5) are legitimately awful. Could be a trap game, but even then Washington only covers.

Pick: San Francisco 24, Washington 16
