Last week: 8-5 (8-5 against the spread). Season: 39-22 (38-23 against the spread).
Bears (2-2) at Panthers (2-2)
Noon Sunday, FOX-32
Panthers by 2 1/2 (O/U 46)
Tough sledding for the Panthers, now handing the ball off to Darrin Reaves, promoted from the practice squad a week ago. That puts a lot of pressure on Cam Newton. The Bears will bounce back on the road.
Bears 24, Panthers 20
Browns (1-2) at Titans (1-3)
Noon Sunday
Titans by 2 (44 1/2)
The Browns might not know how to win yet, but they’re better than a lot of people think. The jury is still way out on Titans quarterback Jake Locker. Go with Cleveland in this one.
Browns 21, Titans 17
Rams (1-2) at Eagles (3-1)
Noon Sunday
Eagles by 7 (48)
That was a pitiful performance by the Eagles offense in San Francisco, a come-back-to-earth game for them. That said, the Rams are just bad. The Eagles will right their ship before a home crowd.
Eagles 30, Rams 13

Falcons (2-2) at Giants (2-2)
Noon Sunday
Giants by 4 (51)
What’s going on with the Falcons offensive line? When you have a tight end playing right tackle, you’re hurting. Eli Manning is starting to get comfortable with the Giants’ up-tempo, West Coast offense.
Giants 27, Falcons 24
Bucs (1-3) at Saints (1-3)
Noon Sunday
Saints by 10 (48 1/2)
Sooner or later, the Saints are going to get rolling. They have too many offensive weapons. Their defense is loaded with players too. The Bucs aren’t very good, but they have some talented players.
Saints 28, Bucs 21
Texans (3-1) at Cowboys (3-1)
Noon Sunday
Cowboys by 6 (47)
The Cowboys have a better quarterback and they were terrific Sunday night. Their offensive line is solid, and they’re averaging a league-best 165 yards rushing. The Texans are 24th against the run.
Cowboys 21, Texans 17
Bills (2-2) at Lions (3-1)
Noon Sunday
Lions by 7 (44)
Bills quarterback Kyle Orton can’t be too excited that his first start comes against Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley & Co. The Lions are loaded with talent and it looks like they’re finally turning the corner.
Lions 28, Bills 17
Ravens (3-1) at Colts (2-2)
Noon Sunday, CBS-2
Colts by 3 (49)
Andrew Luck has thrown for 763 yards and eight touchdowns in his last two games — but that came against the woeful Jaguars and Titans. The Colts won’t be able to run the ball in this one.
Ravens 23, Colts 21
Steelers (2-2) at Jaguars (0-4)
Noon Sunday
Steelers by 6 1/2 (47)
The Steelers are taking a lot of heat for their offense, but that familiar Steel Curtain defense is MIA. Still, it’s Jacksonville. Jaguars rookie Blake Bortles will make some big plays, but he’ll also throw a couple of picks.
Steelers 24, Jaguars 17
Cardinals (3-0) at Broncos (2-1)
3:05 p.m. Sunday
Broncos by 7 1/2 (48 1/2)
Because of key injuries, the undefeated Cardinals have had to work magic on both sides of the ball. It’s a lot to ask of Drew Stanton — to match Peyton Manning touchdown for touchdown, and on the road.
Broncos 24, Cardinals 20
Chiefs (2-2) at 49ers (2-2)

49ers by 6 1/2 (44)
Hitting the road after a short week is a tall order for the Chiefs. That said, quarterback Alex Smith has the rocket-fuel incentive of playing the team that dumped him for Colin Kaepernick.
Chiefs 21, 49ers 20
Jets (1-3) at Chargers (3-1)
3:25 p.m. Sunday
Chargers by 6 1/2 (43 1/2)
Philip Rivers has played his way into the too-early MVP conversation. The Chargers have some serious injury issues, especially at running back, but they will be able to hold off Geno Smith and the shaky Jets.
Chargers 35, Jets 20
Bengals (3-0) at Patriots (2-2)
7:30 p.m. Sunday, NBC-5
Bengals by 1 1/2 (46)
The Patriots stand a good chance of getting blown out of consecutive games for the first time in forever. The Bengals are tough on both sides of the ball, and the Patriots can’t protect Tom Brady.
Bengals 31, Patriots 17
Seahawks (2-1) at Redskins (1-3)
7:30 p.m. Monday, ESPN
Seahawks by 7 (46)
The NFC West is the new black-and-blue division, and the Seahawks will beat up on the Redskins. Marshawn Lynch will be able to run, and the home team will have a hard time retuning the favor.
Seahawks 28, Redskins 16
