According to Jonathan Jones, Robert Saleh considered firing Nathaniel Hackett before getting fired himself
San Francisco 49ers (- 3.5) @ Seattle Seahawks - Two teams are coming off surprising losses. For now I give the edge to the 49ers given Kyle Shanahan's coaching acumen but the Seahawks keeping it close would not be surprising especially with all the injuries the 49ers have been dealing with.
Jacksonville Jaguars(+2.5) @ Chicago Bears - The Jaguars look to continue their streak of winning at London.
Washington Commanders(+7)(LOCK) @ Baltimore Ravens - It has been some time since the Commanders were featured in the game of the week category. Both teams have QBs that have been playing lights out (Daniels/Jackson), great running attacks, and tight ends who have been considered washed up (Ertz/Andrews). The Ravens pass defense has been in question especially with their defensive coordinator going to the Seattle. Certainly a toss up game, unless the Ravens see something from the game film and can dissect how Daniels has been doing.
Tampa Bay Bucs (-3.5) @ New Orleans Saints - Derek Carri s out with an injury. The Bucs suffered a bad loss to Atlanta and this game is a relatively must win given that their schedule gets much harder over the next five (Ravens, Falcons, Chiefs, 49ers).
Detroit Lions (-3) @ Dallas Cowboys - The Cowboys pulled out a nice win against Pittsburgh. The Lions are coming off a bye and look to be a superior team than the Steelers especially in the passing attack.
Cleveland Browns(+8.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles - DeShaun Watson has reached epic levels of terrible. Although maybe the Browns can continue the streak of teas that play Washington getting a win. Maybe but unlikely given the Eagles are coming off a bye and getting AJ Brown back from an injury.
Arizona Cardinals(+5) @ Green Bay Packers - Kyler Murray and the Cardinals looked impressive against the 49ers. They go against another former Washington assistant head coach in Matt LaFleur. The Packers might be on par with the injury riddled 49ers plus I'm not sure how consistent the Cardinals are even coming off a win.
Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos (+3) - The Chargers are coming off a bye and a quality loss to the Chiefs where they were held scoreless after the first quarter against the Chiefs. Still, everything seems to be clicking for the Broncos. who are on a 3 game winning streak.
Pittsburgh Steelers (-3) @ Las Vegas Raiders - The Steelers look to get right in Las Vegas. Right now the Steelers seem to be playing better although Fields inconsistency could allow the Raiders to perhaps pull out an upset.
Houston Texans (-7)(LOCK) @ New England Patriots - The Patriots appear to be a true work in progress and for now appear to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. Complacency by the Texans could allow the Patriots to remain in the game although an upset seems unlikely.
Indianapolis Colts (-1) @ Tennessee Titans - The Titans are coming off a bye and Michael Pittman is out with an injury. In the short term the Colts seem more likely to win if Flacco plays although Richardson may still do enough.
Atlanta Falcons @ Carolina Panthers (+6) - Two teams that are playing at polar opposites. Hard to say how the Falcons will play in a easy game but for now one has to project a win against the Panthers whose defense has ben playing at abysmal levels.
Cincinnati Bengals (-4) @ New York Giants - The Giants are coming off a nice win against the Seahawks. If the Giants win this game, perhaps the NFC East will be considered significantly stronger then AFC North.
Buffalo Bills (-4) @ New York Jets - The Jets are testing the theory of winning after firing a head coach. I would give the Jets a better chance to win the game if they had actually lost to a team that wasn't good last week since the Vikings are undefeated and if Robert Saleh firing coincided with the firing of Nathaniel Hackett.
