CBS. LAC -3. 4 p.m. ET. 45. 2-4. 13. Sunday, Nov. 1. 2-4

The loser is finished. The bad news for Denver? Drew Lock can’t play, and Justin Herbert is really good. Los Angeles is much better than its record indicates, and while winning in Denver isn’t typically easy, the Broncos are 0-3 at home this season.

Pick: Los Angeles 23, Denver 19

4:25 p.m. ET. 4-2. 15. FOX. Sunday, Nov. 1. 57. 5-2. NO -4

This should be a tight game where Drew Brees is constantly throwing underneath. Still, it’s impossible to take Nick Foles and this offense against any team which can score 24+ points. Granted, the Bears beat the Buccaneers, but there’s always an exception to the rule.

Pick: New Orleans 25, Chicago 21

Sunday, Nov. 1. 5-1. 4:25 p.m. ET. FOX. 42. 36. SEA -3. 4-3

Does anybody punt? Maybe, but it won’t be often. Seattle is coming off a tough loss and now goes home to play the Nick Boa-less Niners. Asking Jimmy Garoppolo to outduel Russell Wilson in this spot is a tall order.

Pick: Seattle 35, San Francisco 31

54. 8:20 p.m. ET. 123. NBC. Sunday, Nov. 1. 2-4-1. 2-5. PHI -7.5

We should all file a class-action lawsuit against NBC for this.

Pick: Philadelphia 23, Dallas 20, Dignity 0

TB -10.5. 8:15 p.m. ET. 48. Monday, Nov. 2. 1-6. 31. 5-2. ESPN

See the Jets-Chiefs pick.

Pick: Tampa Bay 30, New York 6

Last Week: 9-5
Season: 62-27-1
