"Houston's defense has been killing it, and the Texans really need this. They're at home, and the Bills are traveling while banged-up on short rest. Buffalo's shoddy run defense should allow the Texans to control the pace to an extent as they keep this one close."

"The free-falling Raiders have lost three straight road games, all by at least 17 points. The Broncos are more banged up here, but Las Vegas in Denver on short rest is an awful scenario for a team that just dealt away its top wide receiver. They lost 34-18 in Denver last season, and I'm expecting a similar result here."

"Lamar Jackson is back, but that doesn't mean a still-flawed Ravens team will run away with a short-rest road game against a team that is better than its record. Baltimore has lost three straight road games, while the Dolphins haven't been outscored by more than six points in any of their last eight home games. They'll keep this close."
