0-5. 30. FOX. Sunday, Oct. 18. MIA -8. 2-3. 59. 4:05 p.m. ET

Have you seen the Jets? Miami is at home, playing against Adam Gase and can get to .500. This isn’t complicated.

Pick: Miami 37, New York 19

FOX. Sunday, Oct. 18. 3-2. 4:25 p.m. ET. 4-0. 49. 48. GB -2.5

Best game of the week. Should the Packers win, they move 2.5 games ahead of Tampa Bay and own the tiebreaker. However, a Buccaneers victory and things tighten, all while Tom Brady and Co. establish themselves as legitimate contenders. Toughest call of the win. Took the more desperate team.

Pick: Tampa Bay 35, Green Bay 31

Sunday, Oct. 18. 8:20 p.m. ET. 4-1. NBC. 42. LAR -3.5. 51. 2-3

The Niners don’t look good. They’ve beaten the Jets and Giants. That’s it. Jimmy Garoppolo was so. bad against the Dolphins he got benched for something named C.J. Beathard. Not fantastic. Meanwhile, the Rams have only beaten NFC East teams, but they appear a solid playoff contender.

Pick: Los Angeles 28, San Francisco 22

KC -3.5. 5 p.m. ET. 4-1. Monday, Oct. 18. 4-1. 124. FOX. 16

Points will be scored. The Chiefs actually have a solid defense (No. 9 in DVOA) but Josh Allen has been great this year. Buffalo will move the ball. However, Patrick Mahomes may shred the Bills, who blitz second-most of any team and don’t get pressure. Tough combo.

Pick: Kansas City 35, Buffalo 27

123. ESPN. Monday, Oct. 19. 2-3. 3-2. 32. AZ -2.5. 8:15 p.m. ET

Huge game for both sides. Andy Dalton tries to establish he can guide the Cowboys to the NFC East title by beating a solid team at home. Kyler Murray attempts to push Arizona to 4-2 while staying afloat in the gauntlet known as the NFC West. Take the better quarterback, and the better team.

Pick: Arizona 38, Dallas 34

Last Week: 9-4
Season: 43-19-1
