BROWNS (0-14)

AT BEARS (4-10)

1 p.m. Sunday

Bears by 6?1/2 (O/U 37?1/2)

The Bears’ defense is too good for them to lose to the Browns, although this should be a fairly low-scoring, close game. The Browns are respectable against the run. Bears 14, Browns 10

LIONS (8-6)

AT BENGALS (5-9)

1 p.m. Sunday

Lions by 3 (O/U 44)

The Bengals look like they’ve quit. Joe Mixon could have a decent day if he comes back, but it won’t matter in the big picture. The Lions are a better team at the moment. Lions 28, Bengals 20

DOLPHINS (6-8)

AT CHIEFS (8-6)

1 p.m. Sunday

Chiefs by 10?1/2 (O/U 43)

The Dolphins are heading into cold weather, and they’re too inconsistent. The Chiefs are brimming with confidence after pounding the Chargers. The AFC West title gives them plenty of incentive. Chiefs 28, Dolphins 21

BILLS (8-6)

AT PATRIOTS (11-3)

1 p.m. Sunday

Patriots by 11?1/2 (O/U 46?1/2)

The Patriots are the better team, but they have their issues, which just might be exposed in the playoffs. For now, they have enough firepower to beat the decent Bills. Patriots 27, Bills 21

BUCCANEERS (4-10)

AT PANTHERS (10-4)

1 p.m. Sunday

Panthers by 10 (O/U 47)

The Panthers have a lot of distractions and they’re not a particularly special team, but they keep finding ways to get it done. Jameis Winston will struggle against the Panthers defense. Panthers 31, Buccaneers 23

FALCONS (9-5)

AT SAINTS (10-4)

1 p.m. Sunday

Saints by 5?1/2 (O/U 52?1/2)

Alvin Kamara getting hurt on the first drive the last time these teams played really hurt that offense. The Saints will be a different team this time around. Saints 31, Falcons 27

BRONCOS (5-9)

AT REDSKINS (6-8)

1 p.m. Sunday

Redskins by 3 (O/U 40?1/2)

The Broncos have gotten back into their defensive groove. Teams can definitely run on that Redskins defense, so it won’t matter as much who is playing quarterback for the Broncos.

Broncos 20, Redskins 17

RAMS (10-4)

AT TITANS (8-6)

1 p.m. Sunday

Rams by 6?1/2 (O/U 47)

The Titans play much better at home than on the road. But the Rams are roaring after that huge win in Seattle, and they should keep the momentum rolling with the division title on the line. Rams 34, Titans 24

CHARGERS (7-7)

AT JETS (5-9)

1 p.m. Sunday

Chargers by 6?1/2 (O/U 42?1/2)

Todd Bowles has done a good job for the Jets, even though he’ll probably wind up getting fired. The Chargers need to win, though, and they will in New Jersey. Chargers 28, Jets 24

JAGUARS (10-4)

AT 49ERS (4-10)

4:05 p.m. Sunday

Jaguars by 4 (O/U 42)

Jimmy Garoppolo is playing well, and Robbie Gould is on fire. But Blake Bortles has surprised some people with his play for the Jaguars, and they have defensive muscle. Jaguars 30, 49ers 20

SEAHAWKS (8-6)

AT COWBOYS (8-6)

4:25 p.m. Sunday

Cowboys by 5 (O/U 46?1/2)

Beware a well-coached team with a bunch of pros coming off an embarrassing defeat. Pete Carroll will have his players ready, but that broken down defense… Cowboys 28, Seahawks 24

GIANTS (2-12)

AT CARDINALS (6-8)

4:25 p.m. Sunday

Cardinals by 3 (O/U 38)

Quarterback was the big problem for the Cardinals last week. Drew Stanton can play well enough to win this one. The Cardinals defense isn’t likely to be picked apart by Eli Manning.

Cardinals 20, Giants 17

STEELERS (11-3)

AT TEXANS (4-10)

4:30 p.m. Mon., NBC, NFLN

Steelers by 9 (O/U 45?1/2)

The Steelers have a point to prove, and playoff incentive with a first-round bye on the line. This is a showcase game for the Steelers, and Le’Veon Bell gets the job done.

Steelers 27, Texans 17

RAIDERS (6-8)

AT EAGLES (12-2)

8:30 p.m. Monday, ESPN

Eagles by 9 (O/U 47?1/2)

The Eagles have a proud defense that has played really well, and it was humbled by the Giants last week. That’s not good news for a deeply flawed Raiders team. Eagles 34, Raiders 20
