Indianapolis Colts at Seattle Seahawks (-14, 42.5) 4:25 pm - The Seahawks are heavily favored due to the fact that Phillip Rivers has come ouot of retirement to play quarterback for the Colts, who are desperate to stay among the leaders in the AFC.

The Colts have lost three straight and both starting QB, Daniel Jones, and backup, Riley Leonard, though Leonard may still get the start Sunday (he’s practiced as of Wednesday). Meanwhile, Seattle is looking at sole possession of first place in the NFC West with a win and a Rams’ loss. May be closer than the line indicates.

Tennessee Titans at San Francisco 49ers (-12.5, 44.5) 4:25 pm - Hard to take the Titans on the road, even though they did win at Cleveland last week.

San Francisco is finally close to fully healthy and is looking to catch the Rams and Seahawks in the NFC West. The ‘Niners have had an easy schedule due to last season’s flop and have taken advantage. The defense has really cranked it up lately.

Minnesota Vikings at Dallas Cowboys (-5.5, 49) 8:20 pm - The Vikings walloped Washington last week, 31-0, proving they were not completely done for the year, but this is a bigger test, as the Cowboys need every wn they can get if they hope to make it to the post-season.

Dallas won three straight before running into a buzzsaw at Detroit in a 44-30 loss. If they bring their “A” game, they should win this one going away.
