Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions (1:00 PM)

The Chicago Bears (3-7) are headed towards Ford Field to take on their division rivals, the Detroit Lions (7-2). The Bears are getting major reinforcements for this division game, with QB Justin Fields returning after recovering from a thumb injury. Chicago is coming off of a primetime victory over the Carolina Panthers 16-13. Meanwhile, the Lions are coming off of a huge win at SoFi Stadium against the Chargers by a score of 41-38. Quarterback Jared Goff continued his solid season, raising his QB rating to 99.1. Will the Bears take the upset win and take another step towards the wild card? Or will the Detroit Lions move to 8-2 and contest for the #1 seed in the NFC?

Tennessee Titans @ Jacksonville Jaguars (1:00 PM)

The Tennessee Titans (3-6) and rookie QB Will Levis are entering Jacksonville to face the Jaguars (6-3) and franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Tennessee was blown out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week 20-6. Will Levis has thrown 0 touchdowns since his first career start where he launched 4 touchdowns through the air 2 weeks ago. The Jaguars are also coming off of a poor showing. The San Francisco 49ers crushed Jacksonville 34-3, with Trevor Lawrence throwing 2 interceptions. With each team struggling in their Week 10 contests, both teams look to bounce back from their defeats in Week 11.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Green Bay Packers (1:00 PM)

The Los Angeles Chargers (4-5) have their eyes set on the Green Bay Packers (3-6) in Lambeau Field. Quarterback Justin Herbert is coming off of a 4-touchdown game in the Chargers’ loss to the Detroit Lions last week. Herbert has 17 touchdowns (tied-5th in NFL) this season. The Green Bay Packers also took a 23-19 loss against the 6-3 Steelers last week. Jordan Love isn’t giving the Packers organization any reasons to make them think that “He’s the guy.” Love has thrown 10 interceptions (tied-2nd most) in 2023. Which young quarterback will come out victorious?

Arizona Cardinals @ Houston Texans (1:00 PM)

The Arizona Cardinals (2-8) and healthy QB Kyler Murray are heading towards Houston to face the Texans (5-4) and rookie phenom C.J. Stroud. With both quarterbacks being former top-5 picks in the NFL Draft, this might be the most intriguing QB matchup in Sunday’s games. Arizona won their previous matchup against the Falcons 25-23 after a walk-off field goal by Matt Prater. The Texans are also coming off of a big win 30-27 against the Cincinnati Bengals via a walk-off field goal by Matt Ammendola. With Kyler Murray and C.J. Stroud going head-to-head, a high-scoring matchup should be in the playing cards.

The 2-8 New York Giants are entering FedExField in Landover, Maryland to face the Washington Commanders (4-6) and passing-yards-leader Sam Howell. Tommy DeVito, who threw for 2 touchdowns last week against Dallas, will get the start for the Giants. However, the G-men still took a 49-17 loss to the Cowboys in Week 10. The Commanders are coming off of a heartbreaking loss 29-26 to the Seattle Seahawks. Sam Howell threw for 300+ passing yards in his third straight game after last week. Will Howell extend his streak to 4 games and also pick up a victory? Or will DeVito win his first contest in his young career?

The “Brand New Raiders” (5-5) are heading down to Florida to face the Miami Dolphins (6-3) and break-out QB Tua Tagovailoa. Since firing Josh McDaniels, the Raiders have won 2 straight contests. Rookie  QB Aidan O’Connell has taken over the offence. O’Connell threw for a touchdown in Las Vegas’ victory over the Jets last week. The Dolphins, meanwhile, are well-rested coming off their bye week. Tyreek Hill looks to take another step towards breaking Calvin Johnson’s record for the most receiving yards in a season. Will the Raiders continue their hot streak or will the Dolphins extend their lead in the AFC East?

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cleveland Browns (1:00 PM) 

2nd-year QB Kenny Pickett and the Steelers (6-3) have Cleveland circled on their calendars as they face the Browns (6-3) and rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Deshaun Watson suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, leaving the 5th-round QB Robinson to take over. Cleveland is coming off of a dramatic 33-31 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The Pittsburgh Steelers are also coming off of a win in Week 10. They edged out a 23-19 victory in Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. In this divisional matchup that has major playoff implications, who will improve to 7-3?

Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers (1:00 PM)

Dak Prescott’s Cowboys (6-3)  have their eyes set on the Carolina Panthers (1-8) and 1st-overall-pick Bryce Young. Prescott has thrown 17 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions, bringing his quarterback rating to an impressive 105.1. The Cowboys crushed the Giants last week, with Prescott tallying 5 touchdowns in that contest. Meanwhile, it’s been a struggle for the Panthers this year. Bryce Young has been sacked 29 times in the 8 games he’s played in. Also, the receivers, other than Adam Thielen, have been very inconsistent. While the Cowboys are heavily favoured, nothing is conclusive until the game is played.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ San Francisco 49ers (4:05 PM)

Baker Mayfield and the Bucs (4-5) are headed towards San Francisco to play Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy and the 49ers (6-3). Mayfield is coming off of a 270+ yard game with 2 touchdowns in the Bucs’ 20-6 triumph over the Tennessee Titans. 49ers’ QB Brock Purdy is still playing with efficiency and getting the ball to the plethora of playmakers on San Fran’s offence. The 49ers threw up 34 points on the then 6-2 Jaguars. With San Francisco coming off of a statement victory, the Buccaneers will have to play flawless football to take the win.

Seattle Seahawks @ Los Angeles Rams (4:25 PM)

The Seattle Seahawks (6-3) and the Los Angeles Rams (3-6) are clashing in a classic NFC West division matchup. Veteran quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Geno Smith will play each other for the second time this season, with Stafford taking the first game 30-13 in Week 1. The Seahawks are coming off of a 29-26 victory over the Washington Commanders via a walk-off field goal. The Rams were able to rest up during their bye week in Week 10. Both defences will have their hands full against some of the best wide receivers in the NFL (DK Metcalf, Cooper Kupp). Between these two offences, who will come out on top?

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills (4:25 PM)

The 4-5 New York Jets are entering Highmark Stadium to face the 5-5 Buffalo Bills. 3rd-year quarterback Zach Wilson will be at the helm for the Jets’ offence. Josh Allen, who leads the NFL this year with 11 interceptions, will look to change his fortune against the Jets. Both of these squads matched up in Week 1, with the New York Jets coming out on top. Jets Safety Jordan Whitehead intercepted Josh Allen 3 times during that contest. The Bills will look to get back over .500 and play their way back into a competitive playoff race in the AFC. The Jets will look to bounce back from their loss last week and make their way back to .500.

Dobbs has registered 5 touchdowns in his 3 games as a Viking. Meanwhile, the Russell Wilson-led Broncos have won three straight contests, with one coming against the potent Kansas City Chiefs. Last week, the Broncos walked off the Buffalo Bills with a walk-off field goal by Wil Lutz. Russell Wilson has a 104.0 quarterback rating in the 2023 season. With both teams possessing lengthy winning streaks, whose will remain after Sunday night?
