Sunday’s games
Packers (6-3) at Lions (4-5), noon, WFLD-Ch. 32
Line:
Packers by 3.5.
Over/under:
51.5.
Aaron Rodgers is 6-1 vs. Lions with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions. Won’t be easy sledding for banged-up Packers this time, though.
Pick:

Packers 31, Lions 28.
Cardinals (4-5) at Falcons (8-1), noon
Line:
Falcons by 9.5.
Over/under:
44.
Falcons will bounce back after first loss. Although their defense is vulnerable to run, it should hold up against league’s worst rushing offense.
Pick:
Falcons 24, Cardinals 21.
Buccaneers (5-4) at Panthers (2-7), noon
Line:
Buccaneers by 1.
Over/under:
48.
Panthers surrendered seven sacks Sunday. That’s a bad sign against Buccaneers, looking for first four-game winning streak in four years.
Pick:
Buccaneers 28, Panthers 24.
Eagles (3-6) at Redskins (3-6), noon
Line:
Redskins by 3.5.
Over/under:
43.5.
Nick Foles has big-play potential with those receivers. But he’s making first start on road against division opponent that’s no pushover.
Pick:
Redskins 21, Eagles 17.
Browns (2-7) at Cowboys (4-5), noon, WBBM-Ch. 2
Line:
Cowboys by 9.
Over/under:
43.5.
Browns haven’t won on road since September 2011. It’s possible — especially with way Cowboys turn over ball — but unlikely with rookie QB.
Pick:
Cowboys 24, Browns 17.
Jaguars (1-8) at Texans (8-1), noon
Line:
Texans by 15.
Over/under:
40.5.
When teams met in September, Texans held Jaguars to franchise-low 117 yards. Nothing to indicate things will be much better for Jaguars.
Pick:
Texans 31, Jaguars 10.
Bengals (4-5) at Chiefs (1-8), noon
Line:
Bengals by 3.5.
Over/under:
43.5.
Chiefs have been outscored 157-78 in six-game losing streak. Bengals starting to gather momentum; Andy Dalton-to-A.J. Green a deadly combo.
Pick:
Bengals 23, Chiefs 17.
Jets (3-6) at Rams (3-5-1), noon
More Top Picks Whynter Arc 14sh
Line:
Rams by 3.5.
Over/under:
38.5.
How many distractions can one franchise take? Jets putting that to test. Rams should be able to run on visitors, who have 30th-ranked rushing defense.
Pick:
Rams 21, Jets 14.
Saints (4-5) at Raiders (3-6), 3:05 p.m.
Line:
Saints by 4.5.
Over/under:
54.5.
Raiders have had problems stopping run, and Chris Ivory running well for Saints. Establishing ground game helps create opportunities for Drew Brees.
Pick:
Saints 35, Raiders 28.
Colts (6-3) at Patriots (6-3), 3:25 p.m., WBBM-Ch. 2
Line:
Patriots by 9.5.
Over/under:
54.5.
As well as Andrew Luck is playing, winning in Foxborough a tall order for any visiting quarterback. Colts aren’t built to hang in shootout with Tom Brady.
Pick:
Patriots 31, Colts 20.
Chargers (4-5) at Broncos (6-3), 3:25 p.m.
Line:
Broncos by 8.
Over/under:
48.
Chargers were demoralized when Broncos outscored them 35-0 in second half in Week 6. Chargers aren’t a confident team at this point; Broncos are.
Pick:
Broncos 28, Chargers 24.
Ravens (7-2) at Steelers (6-3), 7:20 p.m., WMAQ-Ch. 5
Line:
Ravens by 3.5.
Over/under:
40.
Steelers have played pretty well in past with backup quarterbacks. Still, it’s a lot to ask for them to beat tough division rival without Ben Roethlisberger.
Pick:
Ravens 23, Steelers 17.
Monday’s game
Bears (7-2) at 49ers (6-2-1), 7:30 p.m., ESPN, WCIU-Ch. 26
Line:
49ers by 5.
Over/under:
38.5.
Teams are evenly matched, both with quarterbacks dealing with aftermath of concussions. Niners get nod at home, even if backup QBs play.
Pick:
49ers 17, Bears 14.
