Chargers (5-3) at Dolphins (4-4)
Noon Sunday, CBS-2
Dolphins by 2.5 (44.5 O/U)
This is a tough one for the Chargers, who don’t always show up when they travel across the country. Still, they’ll be rested, and Philip Rivers won’t let them lose three in a row.
Chargers 23, Dolphins 21
Cardinals (6-1) at Cowboys (6-2)
Noon Sunday, FOX-32
Cowboys by 4 (48)
The Cardinals defense can slow down the run enough to beat the Cowboys, and Tony Romo won’t be 100 percent mobility-wise. Cracks are starting to form in the Cowboys defense.
Cardinals 24, Cowboys 21
Jaguars (1-7) at Bengals (4-2-1)
Noon Sunday
Bengals by 11 (43.5)
The Jaguars play hard and have a promising young quarterback in Blake Bortles, but they’re just not there yet. The Bengals will pull away in the second half.
Bengals 27, Jaguars 13
Jets (1-7) at Chiefs (4-3)
Noon Sunday
Chiefs by 9.5 (41.5)
The Chiefs are playing pretty well, and they’re always tough to beat at home. The Jets are imploding, and Michael Vick won’t make a difference at quarterback.
Chiefs 28, Jets 17
Buccaneers (1-6) at Browns (4-3)
Noon Sunday
Browns by 6.5 (43.5)
The Buccaneers are like the Jaguars. They have some talent and they can be competitive, but they’re not ready for the big time. The Browns are hanging tough.
Browns 24, Buccaneers 21

Eagles (5-2) at Texans (4-4)
Noon Sunday
Eagles by 2 (48.5)
The Texans have been inconsistent. Even if Arian Foster runs it OK on the Eagles, they are getting serious pressure on quarterbacks. Ryan Fitzpatrick, beware.
Eagles 28, Texans 24
Redskins (3-5) at Vikings (3-5)
Noon Sunday
Pick ’em (43.5)
The Redskins’ win at Dallas was no fluke. They aren’t as bad as their record, and the return of Robert Griffin III should be enough to keep things rolling.
Redskins 24, Vikings 20
Rams (2-5) at 49ers (4-3)
3:05 p.m. Sunday
49ers by 10 (43.5)
The Rams played the 49ers tough at home, but they are reshuffling their offensive line. The 49ers should be able to hold serve at home to lay groundwork for a second-half push.
49ers 28, Rams 14
Raiders (0-7) at Seahawks (4-3)
3:25 p.m. Sunday
Seahawks by 15 (43)
The Raiders have shown flashes of promise with Derek Carr, but they’re overmatched here. They will turn it over, and the Seahawks will take advantage in that deafening venue.

Broncos (6-1) at Patriots (6-2)
3:25 p.m. Sunday, CBS-2
Broncos by 3 (54)
The spotlight will be squarely on the Canton-bound quarterbacks, but the Broncos will win on the strength of their defense. If you can get to Tom Brady, you can beat the Patriots.

Ravens (5-3) at Steelers (5-3)
7:30 p.m. Sunday, NBC-5
Ravens by 2 (48)
The Steelers are on a roll and are looking for payback after an ugly Thursday night loss in Baltimore. These AFC North showdowns are typically close, and season sweeps are rare.

The Giants can’t match the Colts’ firepower. The Colts will bounce back strong after a meltdown against the Steelers, and Andrew Luck will throw for at least 300 yards.
