1.) 49ers 36 - Seahawks 24

San Francisco delivered a decisive win over the Seahawks in this NFC West battle. The 49ers dominated both sides of the ball, with their defense stepping up big when needed, holding Geno Smith in check while their offense found the endzone at crucial moments.

2.) Buccaneers 51 - Saints 27

The Bucs unleashed an offensive onslaught, thrashing the Saints in a game that was over before it even began. The Saints' defense along with Spencer Rattler had no answers, and Tampa Bay found their rhythm early, lighting up the scoreboard and securing their place as one of the top teams to beat.

3.) Cardinals 13 - Packers 34

Jordan Love continues to impress, leading the Packers to a dominant victory over Arizona. Kyler Murray struggled against Green Bay’s defense, as the Cardinals never quite got going. The Packers controlled the pace and ran away with this one.

4.) Texans 41 - Patriots 21

Houston exploded for 41 points in a shocking win over New England, with CJ Stroud putting on a clinic. The Patriots' defense, usually reliable, had no answers, and their offense fell apart in the face of relentless pressure.

5.) Chargers 23 - Broncos 16

In a low-scoring AFC West showdown, the Chargers managed to eke out a win over Denver, thanks to a clutch performance from their defense. The Broncos' offense continued to sputter, while the Chargers took care of business in the red zone.

6.) Jaguars 16 - Bears 35

Chicago’s offense is on fire! Caleb Williams led the Bears to another blowout win, dismantling the Jaguars. Jacksonville’s defense had no way to stop the young QB as the Bears cruised to victory.

7.) Commanders 23 - Ravens 30

In a tightly contested affair, the Ravens held on to beat the Commanders. Lamar Jackson made key plays down the stretch, using his arm and legs to push Baltimore to 4-2, while Jayden Daniels & Washington fell just short of a comeback.

8.) Colts 20 - Titans 17

An AFC South nail-biter ended in favor of the Colts, with Joe Flacco leading a late drive to set up the game-winning field goal. The Titans fought hard but couldn’t overcome a stingy Indianapolis defense.

9.) Browns 16 - Eagles 20

10.) Steelers 32 - Raiders 13

Pittsburgh dominated this one from start to finish. The Raiders struggled mightily on offense, and TJ Watt once again made his presence felt, racking up stats and leading the Steelers to an easy victory.

11.) Falcons 38 - Panthers 20

The Falcons continue to roll, picking up a key divisional win over the Panthers. Atlanta’s balanced attack was too much for Carolina to handle, as they cruised to a comfortable win.

12.) Lions 47 - Cowboys 9
