4-2. 32. SEA -3.5. 4:05 p.m. ET. 5-0. FOX. Sunday, Oct. 25. 36

This is going to be an offensive explosion. Despite believing the Cardinals could pull this off at home, it’s the wise move to go with Russell Wilson and the undefeated Seahawks with the bye week behind them. Last team with the ball probably wins.

Pick: Seattle 38, Arizona 35

1-4. 13. LAC -7.5. 4:25 p.m. ET. 1-5. 52. CBS. Sunday, Oct. 25

Los Angeles has held large leads against the Saints, Buccaneers and Chiefs. There’s no reason to believe the Chargers don’t beat an inferior team in Jacksonville. Now, if only Justin Herbert and Co. can start holding onto late leads against the better teams.

Pick: Los Angeles 27, Jacksonville 20

CBS. Sunday, Oct. 25. 4:25 p.m. ET. 5-1. 124. 2-3. 45. KC -9.5

The Chiefs righted their ship against the Bills, and now they draw a divisional foe in the Broncos at Mile High. Kansas City has handled Denver in each of their previous nine matchups. It’s hard to envision the streak falling before double digits.

Pick: Kansas City 30, Denver 17

2-3. FOX. Sunday, Oct. 25. 47. NE -2.5. 4:25 p.m. ET. 3-3. 42

Must-win for the Patriots. After losing at home to the Broncos, Bill Belichick’s group needs to beat San Francisco. For the Niners, it’s a big game but not quite the must New England faces. This is a toss-up game, but take the Patriots avoiding two straight defeats at Gillette.

Pick: New England 24, San Francisco 20

48. 3-2. 28. TB -3. 8:20 p.m. ET. 4-2. NBC. Sunday, Oct. 25

Don’t count the Raiders out here. They just beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead and in Week 2, handled the Saints. Las Vegas has been good this season, but can they take down the Buccaneers? Tampa Bay likely gets a ton of pressure on Derek Carr, and that’s the difference.

Pick: Tampa Bay 31, Las Vegas 23

5-1. ESPN. 51. LAR -5.5. 8:15 p.m. ET. 57. Monday, Oct. 26. 4-2

Don’t expect a ton of points. The Bears are hideous offensively but excellent defensively. If Jared Goff makes a few big mistakes, Chicago wins. If not, the Rams likely get to 5-2 in what is a very important game for both sides.

Pick: Los Angeles 21, Chicago 19

Last Week: 10-4
Season: 53-22-1
