Detroit Lions (5-1) vs Baltimore Ravens (4-2), Sunday at 1 P.M. EST

Prediction: Lions 33, Ravens 27

Detroit is playing tremendous football right now, and good for that city after decades of terrible play. Baltimore is a great test for them as the Ravens currently sit at the top of their division standings. They might have lost to the Steelers a couple of weeks ago, but they will be the favorites to win the North for now. The Lions offense should be able to bounce back this week and do just enough to win the game. Expect Aidan Hutchinson to cause Lamar Jackson to fumble to ball late to seal to victory.

Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) vs Chicago Bears (1-5), Sunday at 1 P.M. EST

Prediction: Raiders 17, Bears 14

Could be a battle of the backups if both Jimmy Garoppolo and Justin Fields can't suit up this week. That might make two offenses look worse even though both have struggled when their starters have been in. Looking at the rest of these teams it will probably come down to who will turn over the ball more. The Raiders defense is more suited for that, and Brian Hoyer has a lot more experience in the NFL. It should be a low-scoring affair that sees Hoyer do just enough to win the ball game.

Cleveland Browns (3-2) vs Indianapolis Colts (3-3), Sunday at 1 P.M. EST

Prediction: Browns 23, Colts 20

The Browns are coming off a huge upset over the 49ers last week and they should be able to continue their winning ways. It was just announced that Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will be out for the remainder of the year with a shoulder injury. That will sink their season and cost them a lot of games. Cleveland will be able to do enough on defense to claw their way back to a win no matter who is at quarterback for them this time around.
