Two teams with a combined 2-9-1 record facing each other. That is what Thursday Night Football is in a nutshell.

Giants QB Daniel Jones lost his only career start against the Eagles last season. He threw for 301 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, but his team lost by 17.

Public: 72% is on the Eagles -4.

Pittsburgh Steelers Vs. Tennessee Titans Breakdown

These two teams should have met two weeks ago, but the Titans’ COVID outbreak prevented it from happening.

The Titans have the second-best scoring offense in the NFL, averaging 32.8 points per game. They scored 84 points in six days last week.

The Steelers have the 4th best offense averaging 31.2 points per game, but they also have the third-best scoring defense, allowing 18.8 PPG.

Public: 82% is on the Steelers -2.

Detroit Lions (2-3) at Atlanta Falcons (1-5)

Both the Lions and Falcons earned road wins last week, but both remain amongst the untrusted teams in the NFL.

Cleveland Browns (4-2) at Cincinnati Bengals (1-4-1)

We already say this game on Thursday Night Football this season. Cleveland beat Cinci 35-30, although the game was not as close as the scoreboard suggests.

Are we sure the Browns are for real?

Carolina Panthers (3-3) at New Orleans Saints (3-2)

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 1:00 PM ET
• Venue: Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans, LA
• TV: FOX

Carolina Panthers Vs. New Orleans Saints Breakdown

Carolina’s offense didn’t look in sync in Week 6 against the Bears. Teddy Bridgewater knows everything about the Saints after spending the last two seasons there. It’s an excellent game to bounce back.

The Saints didn’t play last week, but their previous two wins against the Lions and Chargers weren’t impressive at all. New Orleans will get WR Michael Thomas back this week.

Public: 57% is on the Saints -7.5.

Buffalo Bills (4-2) at NY Jets (0-6)

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 1:00 PM ET

Dallas Cowboys (2-4) at Washington Football Team (1-5)

Dallas Cowboys Vs. Washington Football Team Breakdown

Every time I see an NFC East matchup in the lineup – I want to vomit.

The Dallas Cowboys have the worst defense in the NFL, allowing 36.3 points per game this season. Washington has the third-worst offense, scoring only 18.0 PPG.

Public: 51% is on the Cowboys PK.

Green Bay Packers (4-1) at Houston Texans (1-5)

Green Bay Packers Vs. Houston Texans Game Info:

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 1:00 PM ET
• Venue: NRG Stadium, Houston, TX
• TV: FOX

Green Bay Packers Vs. Houston Texans Breakdown

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers exposed the Green Bay Packers last week. The good news is the Texans don’t have a similar defense to the Bucs.

Aaron Rodgers entered Week 6 without an interception. He threw two against Tampa Bay, including a game-changing PickSix.

Houston has scored 33.0 points per game in the last two weeks, although they split 1-1 in those games.

Public: 90% is on the Packers -4.

Seattle Seahawks (5-0) at Arizona Cardinals (4-2)

Seattle Seahawks Vs. Arizona Cardinals Game Info:

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 4:05 PM ET
• Venue: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, AZ
• TV: FOX

Seattle Seahawks Vs. Arizona Cardinals Breakdown

Seattle is coming off a bye week. They remain the worst total defense in the NFL, allowing 471.2 yards per game.

Arizona has allowed only 10.0 points per game in the last two weeks. However, those games were against the lousy NY Jets and Dallas Cowboys.

Seattle has won three of the last four against Arizona, but the Cardinals took the W the last time they met in 2019.

Public: 68% is on the Seahawks -3.5.

Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) at Denver Broncos (2-3)

Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Denver Broncos Game Info:

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 4:25 PM ET
• Venue: Empower Field at Mile High, Denver, CO
• TV: CBS

Kansas City Chiefs Vs. Denver Broncos Breakdown

The Broncos stole a solid win in New England, but Kansas City has been their nemesis recently.

The Chiefs have won the last nine games in a row against the Broncos, including five in Denver.

Public: 65% is on the Broncos +9.5.

San Francisco 49ers (3-3) at New England Patriots (2-3)

San Francisco 49ers Vs. New England Patriots Game Info:

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 4:25 PM ET
• Venue: Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA
• TV: CBS

San Francisco 49ers Vs. New England Patriots Breakdown

The return of Jimmy Garoppolo to New England will be without fans and with both teams struggling. However, New England is coming off an awful loss, while the San Francisco 49ers bounced back last week against the Rams.

New England allows more points (22.0 PPG) than they are scoring (21.8 PPG) after six weeks.

The Niners won’t have RB Raheem Mostert after he suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s win over the Rams.

Public: 57% is on the Niners -2.5.

Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5) at LA Chargers (1-4)

Jacksonville Jaguars Vs. LA Chargers Game Info:

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 4:25 PM ET
• Venue: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
• TV: CBS

Jacksonville Jaguars Vs. LA Chargers Breakdown

Jags coach Doug Marrone said he hasn’t ruled out benching QB Gardner Minshew. “Maybe in the future, I think.”

Minshew has turned the ball over eight times (five interceptions), and he’s been sacked 13 times in the five-game losing streak.

The Chargers have lost four in a row, but the competition has been challenging. Since rookie QB Justin Herbert made his debut, he faced Pat Mahomes, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees. He also played against the red-hot Carolina Panthers.

Public: 67% is on the Chargers -7.5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) at Las Vegas Raiders (3-2)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs. Las Vegas Raiders Game Info:

• Date: Sunday, October 25, 2020 | 8:20 PM ET
• Venue: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV
• TV: NBC

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Vs. Las Vegas Raiders Breakdown

The Bucs have the best total defense in the NFL, only allowing 282.0 yards per game. They also have the second-most takeaways in the league with 11, only behind the Browns (12).

Las Vegas didn’t play last week, but their latest showing was a huge win against Kansas City in Week 5. The Raiders placed rookie CB Damon Arnette on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. He’s unlikely to play on Sunday Night.

Public: 59% is on the Bucs -3.

Chicago Bears (5-1) at LA Rams (4-2)

Chicago Bears Vs. LA Rams Game Info:

• Date: Monday, October 26, 2020 | 8:15 PM ET
• Venue: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
• TV: ESPN

Chicago Bears Vs. LA Rams Breakdown

I don’t recall a 5-1 team getting less respect than the Bears. Chicago beat the Bucs and Panthers on consecutive weeks to show their win is no fluke. Against the Rams, they will have a chance to show it on National Television.

The Rams are 4-0 against the lousy NFC East and 0-2 against anybody else.

Public: 86% is on the Bears +5.5.
