Eagles at Bengals (SPREAD: CIN -3) [Sunday 1:00pm ET on CBS]

“I'm taking the Bengals at home -3. Joe Burrow eats alive the NFC like Lamar Jackson. He's 10-1 with 24 touchdowns and five picks. Their last three losses -- Chiefs, Ravens, and Commanders. Cincinnati is playing well, they're just losing close games to good teams. Joe Burrow is absolutely on fire and leads the NFL with five games of multiple touchdown passes and a 100+ passer rating. Jalen Hurts is NOT hot. Philly is overvalued. Their back-to-back wins came over the Browns, maybe the worst team in the league, and the Giants. The Eagles had 70 yards passing last week, and Jalen Hurts is struggling. The Eagles' offense is easily the worst first quarter offense in the league, so Cincinnati is probably taking a lead and playing with a lead. The Eagles defense doesn't take the ball away -- an NFL-low two takeaways this year. I'm taking comfortable Joe Burrow with the lead, at home; lay the points, 30-23 Bengals.

Colin's prediction: Bengals 30, Eagles 23

Colin's pick: Cincinnati -3

Packers at Jaguars (SPREAD: GB -4) [Sunday, 1:00 pm ET on FOX]

“Jordan Love is tied for the NFL lead in touchdown passes and he missed two starts. The Packers are young and getting better by the Sunday. Green Bay is second in the league in 'explosive plays', and Jacksonville doesn't offer those. Jordan Love missed two games and has 15 touchdown passes. His protection is much better than Trevor Lawrence will get. Doug Pederson is on the hot seat for the Jags, they're 3-10 over their last 13 games. The Jags' pass defense is awful, and their third-down defense is not great. They only have three takeaways. Jordan Love is gonna be really comfortable, and it's only four points. The Jaguars defense this season is BAD, and bad defenses against the speed, the efficiency, and the coaching of Green Bay -- I'm taking the Packers to cover, 33-26."

Colin's prediction: Packers 33, Jaguars 26

Colin's pick: Green Bay -5

Colts at Texans (SPREAD: HOU -5) [Sunday, 1:00 pm ET on CBS]

“I like the Colts +5 in a rivalry game in-division. Without Nico Collins the Texans offense is not the same. Believe it or not, the Colts are the highest scoring offense in the league in the fourth quarter. Why? Run-game and excellent coaching. Jonathan Taylor had an ankle issue but he's been cleared. The Colts have won four of their last five games, they just started off slowly. CJ Stroud, I like him, but the protection without Nico Collins -- he's the third most sacked quarterback in the league this year, and the second most pressured. Nico Collins is really the key for this young quarterback to succeed. I think it's a 27-26 game. I think the Colts may lose but I'm going to take them to cover. It's 27-26, take the points."

Colin's prediction: Texans 27, Colts 26

Colin's pick: Indianapolis +5

Cardinals at Dolphins (SPREAD: MIA -4 [Sunday, 1:00 pm ET on FOX]

“I'm going to take Miami -4. Listen, they're very good at home with Mike McDaniel, and this game not only means a lot to win, but to look good and get that locker room back on your side. It's a different offense with Tua. When they have Tua they're 20-12. Without him they're 2-6 and can't score. Kyler Murray struggled last week in a win. The worst third-down defense in the league is Arizona. Miami is at home, Arizona is on a short week, I think Miami translates third downs to first downs. Also, Arizona is giving up six yards a play. Justin Herbert, with no perimeter weapons of note, threw for 350 yards. Tua at home -- this is a flex spot. The locker room starts fraying when you lose and lose again, and Miami if they have a chance will pour it on. Dolphins win and score a lot, 30-24."

Colin's prediction: Dolphins 30, Cardinals 24

Colin's pick: Miami -4

Bears at Commanders (SPREAD: CHI -3) [Sunday, 4:25 pm ET on CBS]

“I flipped on this one this morning. I'm going to take the Commanders +3. I like Chicago, but are they good enough to go on the road and win a game right now? Really?? I like them, I don't love them. Minnesota is a good team and they couldn't win on the road. The Commanders have not lost a home game, and Marcus Mariota last week in relief had a 78% completion percentage. This o-line, this run-game, this offensive staff... Their defense was awful last year but it's not as bad this year -- it's 15th. The Bears three-game winning streak came against the Rams without Cooper Kupp and Nacua, the Panthers, and the Jags. Caleb Williams is one of the most sacked quarterbacks in the league this year. His ability to move is fooling people. He's under duress. If they had a less mobile quarterback they'd be in trouble. The Bears have all sorts of injuries on the back-end of their defense; corners and safeties may not play. I'm going to take the Commanders to win in what will be a very, very good football game, 28-24. I think the Bears o-line is not as good as we think, and Caleb is making us think it's a little better than it is."

Colin's prediction: Commanders 28, Bears 24

Colin's pick: Washington +3
