Cardinals at Packers (SPREAD: GB -5.5) [Sunday 1:00pm on NFL FOX]

“I really like Green Bay -5.5. Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson are returning so they're getting healthy. They lead the NFL in 'big plays' and a couple of their big-play guys are back. Jordan Love has multiple touchdown passes in seven straight games, tied for the longest streak in the NFL. Listen, the Cardinals get off to bad starts. They've trailed by at least 10 at halftime in three straight games, and their third-down defense is horrible. What does that mean? I love Arizona's offense, but they're going to trail, and they're going to struggle to keep Green Bay off the field. The Packers offense this season, even with Malik Willis in for Jordan Love has been substantial. A Green Bay team getting healthy, at home, takes a lead, keeps Kyler Murray and that offense on the bench, I like the Packers to win and cover, 33-24."

Colin's prediction: Packers 33, Packers 24

Colin's pick: Green Bay -5.5

Chargers at Broncos (SPREAD: LAC -2.5) [Sunday, 4:05 pm ET on CBS]

“I don't think Denver is good enough to win four straight games, I'm going to take the Chargers off a bye week -3. They have both their tackles back. They're getting healthier, it's an offensive coach, and a good quarterback off a bye. They get Derwin James off suspension too. Harbaugh against rookie quarterbacks has eaten them alive. They complete 57% of their throws. Bo Nix is young and if you look at the Chargers defense this season it's been really good and outstanding. The Broncos have three straight wins over the Raiders, Jets, and Bucs, and averaging 1.4 points per drive -- that's 29th in the NFL. I'm going to take the Chargers to win that football game 27-20. I will eat the points."

Colin's prediction: Chargers 27, Broncos 20

Colin's pick: Los Angeles -2.5

Lions at Cowboys (SPREAD: DET -3) [Sunday, 4:25 pm ET on FOX]

“I'm going to take Detroit coming off a bye. With Ben Johnson and Jared Goff, they're well-balanced on offense -- they run and pass. Goff over the last two games is completing 88% of his throws. That's because PFF has their o-line ranked number two, but I think it's number one. Aidan Hutchinson, outside of Fred Warner, is the highest rated defensive player in the league. He is just a monster. The Cowboys since Week 2 are averaging 21 points per game, they're a BB gun. This is a big thing -- Dallas is coming off three straight PHYSICAL games; Steelers, Giants, and Baltimore. Big, physical games. And their three wins have come agianst Justin Fields, Daniel Jones, and Deshaun Watson. This is a total step-up in class for the Cowboys, who can't run the football and don't stop it particularly well, and the Lions have a great o-line and two backs that I like. I'm going to say the Lions win and cover, 34-28. I'm loving the favorites."

Colin's prediction: Lions 34, Cowboys 28

Colin's pick: Detroit -3

Bills at Jets (SPREAD: BUF -2.5) [Monday, 8:15 pm ET on ESPN]

“I loving the favorites except here. I like the Bills to win but I'm going to take the points with the Jets, +2.5. It's weird when teams get interim coaches. It's a division rival, and three of the last four meetings have been decided by one possession. The Jets losses have been to Minnesota; maybe the best team in the league, and the Broncos; a game they should have won. The Jets defense is allowing fewer yards per play than any team in the league. Meanwhile, the Bills have 16 players on the Thursday injury report and Josh Allen is reeling. His last four games agianst the Jets have not been good -- 74 passer rating. And we've got to be honest about the Jets defense. It's OUTSTANDING. It completely shut down Minnesota in the second half. I think this is a low scoring close and thrilling game and I'm going to take the points. I'm going to take the Bills to win 24-23, but I will take the points with the Jets."

Colin's prediction: Bills 24, Jets 23

Colin's pick: New York +2.5

Bengals at Giants (SPREAD: CIN -3.5) [Sunday, 8:20 pm ET on NBC] CANCELLED BET

“I always have a rule on the show. 'New information, new opinion.' I don't get embedded in stuff. I just had to eliminate one of my picks. I had the Giants +3.5 but it's OUT. Malik Nabers is out. Cincinnati is going to score some points, and you got to score points. I thought Mailk Nabers was going to have a really, really, really big night for the Giants. He's out and it's not a good bet anymore. They don't have the firepower to match up. Cincinnati is going to score some points. New York I thought was going to score more points but I took that one out. Instead of five picks, I have four. New information, new opinion."
