Bengals vs. Bills

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET on Fox
Pick: Bengals +6

Colts vs. Jaguars

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET on Fox
Pick: Jaguars +1.5
“The Colts are struggling due to Daniel Jones’s injury, which puts him in a vulnerable spot against Jacksonville’s fierce defense.”

Dolphins vs. Jets

Saints vs. Buccaneers

Sunday, 1 p.m. ET on CBS
Pick: Saints +8.5
“Even though Tampa is pushing for playoffs, New Orleans has shown tenacity against them. Expect a strong running game for the Bucs but New Orleans to cover.”

Sunday, 1 p.m. on CBS
Pick: Steelers +5.5
“Mike Tomlin’s successful track record against the Ravens as an underdog makes this match compelling. I expect the Steelers to be competitive.”
