1pm EST | Fox Matchup Rating: 71.2 | Spread: GB -1.5 (47.5)
Highlights: Mike Zimmer-Aaron Rogers’ chess game is always a wonderful graphical battle. The Vikings scored no more than 7 points in 8 of the 9 games, including 6 consecutive games. Rogers has 50 pass touchdowns in his career, and only 7 interceptions against them. Zimmer knew that Rogers had seen everything he would get from the Vikings' defense, so it would be a matter of time and execution for the Minnesota team to try to contain the Packers' QB while taking advantage of the home audience. - Courtney Cronin
Bold prediction: Rogers' consecutive touchdown passes (26) since the last interception of a division opponent will end on Sunday. He voted for an unusual pick in the game against Seattle last week, and this week he did not have the opportunity to practice a lot to try to seize the opportunity again. Don’t be surprised if Minnesota’s security guard Harrison Smith picked him. ——Rob Demowski
Data to know: Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has the NFL's best 9.0 touchdown interception ratio (18 touchdowns, 2 interceptions) this season. The Packers have a record of 8-0 when intercepting passes this season, and a record of 0-2 when not intercepting passes.

What to watch out for: Can the Bills slow down the Colts' return to Jonathan Taylor? Buffalo's defense this season limited the opponent's defender, with only one rushing for more than 100 yards (Derek Henry). Taylor has a maximum of 10 yards or more runs in the NFL, and the Bills rank second in the allowed long runs. Some things must be bent. Overall this season, Buffalo's defense overwhelmed its opponents, averaging 15.0 points per game (the fewest in the NFL). Stopping Taylor will be a big test. ——Alena Getzenberg
Bold prediction: Colts quarterback Carson Wentz will make two interceptions against Buffalo. He has only 3 interceptions this season, but the Bills have forced the NFL's highest turnover of 24 turnovers, including 15 interceptions. As far as he is concerned, Wentz is an adventurer when trying to make the game happen. Unlike other teams in the league, the Bills will make Voss pay for these opportunities. -Mike Wells

• Our NFL experts’ selection of games »• PickCenter» | ESPN Chalk »More NFL coverage»
Bold prediction: Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hertz's Heat streak will end with two turnovers. The Saints’ running defense is determined to make up for a rare failure in Philadelphia last year, when Hutts and Sanders both ran over 100 yards-this is the same game against the Saints since 2017 The only two players to do this. New Orleans is also determined to avoid its first three-game losing streak since 2016. —— Mike Triplet

1pm EST | CBS duel score: 41.8 | Spread: BAL -4.5 (45)
What to watch: This is all about Lamar Jackson vs. Justin Fields. The Bears hope that Fields will one day emulate Jackson’s style of dominance. Coach Matt Nagy called Jackson “special” on Wednesday. Fields added that Jackson did what most other players could not. With just four touchdowns and eight interceptions, Fields himself is still in progress. However, the rookie had a strong performance in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh, and Najib believes that this can be extended to the Ravens game. The Bears need Fields to spend a good afternoon to beat Baltimore. -Jeff Dixon
Bold prediction: Jackson will run 130 yards, which will be the most quarterback this season. Jackson won all 12 starts against the NFC team, which is tied for the second-longest consecutive game the quarterback has started his career. An important reason for his success is how he used his speed and elusive ability against the NFC team that faced him for the first time. He averaged 92.9 yards per game against NFC. —— Jamison Hensley

Since arriving eight days ago, how many game plans Newton has digested-what can Washington expect from players who scored touchdowns in the first two of the eight games against Arizona last week?

They can rush for 136 yards per game. One thing that needs attention is how the role of running back will continue to develop. So far, D'Onta Foreman is the best choice, but Adrian Peterson has taken the lead in the past two games. ——Tren Davenport
Bold prediction: Houston receiver Brandin Cook will usher in his first game since Week 3 with a 100-yard catch. Cook started well under quarterback Tyler Taylor, but after Taylor suffered a left hamstring injury and was replaced by rookie quarterback Davis Mills, the offensive end was struggling. On Sunday, Cooks faced a Titans team that averaged 267.9 yards per game, ranking 27th in the NFL. In the final game against the Titans at the end of the 2020 season, Cook had 166 yards catches and two touchdowns. -Sarah Bashop

Last year, when Cleveland's top defensive player Miles Garrett returned from the COVID list, the virus had a major impact on him. But at 5-5, the Browns need their top offensive players to make an overwhelming self-return. --Jack Trotter

Bold prediction: The Lions running back DeAndre Swift will exceed the 100-yard rushing record for the second consecutive week. With head coach Dan Campbell taking over offensive responsibilities on the offensive end and the passing game is in trouble, it only makes sense to take medicine on Swift's fiery hands-he is taking the best of his career The 130-yard rushing performance ended. Swift has proven that he can bear the burden. ——Eric Woodyard

Highlights: The Jaguars' defense has only conceded 22 points in the past two games, including allowing the Buffalo team to make only two goals. But the 49ers QB Jimmy Gallopolo has a total score of 84.2 in the past three games, the second highest score in the NFL. In addition, the 49ers are using the catcher Debow Samuel everywhere, which is a wild card that the Jaguars' defense must manage. —— Mike Di Rocco
Bold prediction: The 49ers' tight end George Kittle will catch the ball for more than 150 yards and score two touchdowns. Kittel has scored two consecutive games, but has not entered the end zone many times in the same game this season. The Jaguars' passing defense is struggling as a whole, and the close end is an integral part of the opponent's success. Jacksonville allowed the opposing close end to catch 75.8% of the targets, averaging 8.8 yards per attempt (both ranked 29th in the NFL). This is Kittle's secret to spending an important day. --Nick Wagner

Tagovailo has missed the past two starters due to a broken finger in his throw, and will face a defense that has allowed 175 points in the past four games.

4:25pm EST | Fox Matchup Rating: 78.7 | Spread: ARI -2.5 (48)
What to watch: Every team has a big problem with the quarterback position. For Arizona, the key is whether Kyler Murray will recover from the ankle injury that kept him out of the past two games, and how dangerous his runners would be if he competed. If he doesn't come back, can substitute Colt McCoy lead the Cardinals to victory over Seattle like the Giants did last season? For the Seahawks, the question is whether Russell Wilson really recovered from finger surgery and the subsequent month of layoffs. He performed poorly in the first game, but said that his fingers were not the problem. --Brady Henderson
Bold prediction: Murray will return and throw 350 yards and two touchdowns while running two more points in a blowout victory.

8:20pm EST | NBC Showdown Rating: 53.4 | Spread: LAC -6 (48.5)
Highlights: The Chargers' offense needs to be better. In the past four games, quarterback Justin Herbert has 6 pass touchdowns and 4 interceptions, and in three of these four games, his pass completion rate is less than 60%. He needs the help of receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen to keep the offense going. At the same time, the Steelers may start Mason Rudolph or Ben Roethlisberger, so the Chargers' defense must prepare for both of them. ——Shelley Smith

Bold prediction: Running back Naji Harris's Steelers and running back Austin Eckler's Chargers will each get 150 yards from the melee. Harris played a 100-yard rushing game with the Lions last week, but because Pittsburgh's entire week of game plan could not predict the quarterback situation, he should be more involved in the offense against the Chargers. In addition, the Chargers have the worst running defense in the NFL. At the same time, the Steelers had a terrible running defense against the Lions. He gave up 130 yards to DeAndre Swift. Eckler has been struggling lately, but due to the Steelers' defensive loopholes and cannot be resolved now, he can get back on track on Sunday. --Brook Pryor

After seeing a total of two red zone goals in the first five games of the season, the Steelers' tight end Pat Flairmoos has averaged two points per game in the past four games. Check the ranking for week 11.
