Los Angeles Rams (-3, 44) @ Philadelphia Eagles (1:00 pm, Fox) - Neither of these teams have lived up to expectations thus far. The Rams are 1-2 and the Eagles, 2-1, after a miserable performance against the Bears on Monday night.

While this may eventually serve as a precursor to some playoff matchup, the main interest is in seeing which team screws up less, and, at this point, it seems the Eagles have a lock on making poor decisions. Miss this fiasco if at all possible.

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Rams 24 Eagles 14

New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills (-7, 48.5) (1:00 pm, CBS) - Drake Maye has not come through for the Patriots as well as he did in 2025, while the Bills are one of five remaining teams without a loss.

The way the Bills are going, and especially being at home against a hated division rival, this could very well be a blowout performance. Buffalo is one of the top three teams in the league. Even their defense is improving.

Coin Flip: New England

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Bills 38 Patriots 17

Tennessee Titans @ Baltimore Ravens (-11.5, 43.5) (1:00 pm, CBS) - Face it, Tennessee fans, Cam Ward is a complete bust. The team has generated just 37 points in three games, Ward has thrown just two TD passes on one interception and the coaching staff is second rate.

If the Ravens don’t completely dominate Derrick Henry’s former team, the universe is cockeyed. No way anybody in their right mind would take the Titans on the road, even with 14 points.

Coin Flip: Tennessee

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Ravens 30 Titans 6

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5, 51.5) (1:00 pm, CBS) - Her’s a solid matchup between teams that are going to be vying for playoff spots and probably division crowns throughout the season, barring injuries.

While Joe Burrow has gotten most of the positive press in recent years, he’s been outplayed by Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence, who also has managed to stay healthy for his 5+ seasons with the Jags. Jacksonville is coming off a big, 35-6, win over New England, and are currently cooking red hot. Cincy lost at Pittsburgh last week, 30-27. The Bengals’ defense probably won’t hold up here.

Coin Flip: Cincinnati

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Jaguars 31 Bengals 17

Dallas Cowboys @ Houston Texans (-2.5, 47.5) (1:00 pm, Fox) - Dallas somewhat snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last week in Rio, losing on a last-second, 56-yard field goal by the Ravens after tying the game just seven seconds earlier. No fault but their own, Dallas actually played a solid game against a talented team.

Houston, on the other hand, still has problems too numerous to count. They can’t sustain drives and the defense is sloppy and prone to missed coverages, which might turn deadly against Dallas.

Coin Flip: Houston

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Cowboys 34 Texans 18

Green Bay Packers (-3.5, 39) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1:00 pm, Fox) - Here are another two teams still searching for the winning formula. The Packers are 1-2; Tampa Bay has started the season 0-3 and one has to wonder how much not signing QB Baker Mayfield prior to the season has affected the overall tone in the locker room and play on the field.

At this juncture, Green Bay appears to have fewer issues than the Bucs, though after their 35-14 home loss to Atlanta, one wonders if they can bounce back to win on the road. Tampa Bay is desperate for a win and this one might be it.

Coin Flip: Tampa Bay

Fearless Rick’s Pick: Buccaneers 23 Packers 14
