Tampa Bay 38, DETROIT 16 … Lions are that bad
N.Y. Jets 20, Tennessee 17 … Yes. The Titans will lose!
KANSAS CITY 27, Buffalo 20 … Bills embarrassing slump continues
Chicago 20, ST. LOUIS RAMS 17 … Will be a last second win
JACKSONVILLE 31, Minnesota 20 … I’m off Jags bandwagon but they win
Philadelphia 23, BALTIMORE 17 … Eagles defense will pressure Flacco
DENVER 41, Oakland 13 … No explanation needed
