    Tennessee Titans (4-2) @ Houston Texans (1-4-1)
    Injury Watch (Impact Players)
    Questionable: WR Brandin Cooks (HOU)
    Out: QB Ryan Tannehill (TEN), WR Nico Collins (HOU)

    Game Preview: The line favors the Texans in this one despite their 1-4-1 record because Ryan Tannehill was ruled out leaving rookie Malik Willis will make his NFL debut in his place. The Titans traded up to the 3rd round to select their QB of the future — Willis took first-team reps all week in preparation for this moment. Look for the Titans to continue to focus on the running game with Derrick Henry. The Texans allow an NFL most 164.7 rushing yards per game and the 2nd most total yards per game. Henry should eclipse 30 rushes in this one. Take the Titans.
    PICKS: TEN +1


    Washington Commanders (3-4) @ Indianapolis Colts (3-3-1)
    Injury Watch (Impact Players)
    Questionable: CB Kenny Moore II (IND)
    Out: LB Cole Holcomb (WSH), WR Jahan Dotson (WSH), DE Kwity Paye (IND), QB Matt Ryan (IND)

    Game Preview: The Commanders recovered from a rough 4-game losing streak with back to back wins against the NFC North’s Bears and Packers. I see them continuing that success against the Colts who like the Texans above, have a QB making their NFL debut in Sam Ehlinger. We’ve been used to an elite Washington defense in prior years but they’re still solid, ranking above-average in most NFL defensive statistics. Upsetting the Packers last week will prove to be a huge momentum boost for this team, back the Commanders here.
    PICKS: WSH +3


    San Francisco 49ers (3-4) @ Los Angeles Rams (3-3)
    Injury Watch (Impact Players)
    Questionable: CB Jason Verrett (SF)
    Out: WR Deebo Samuel (SF), FB Kyle Juszczyk (SF), LB Dre Greenlaw (SF), RB Cam Akers (LAR)

    Game Preview: The 49ers have dominated the Rams since 2019, winning 7 of the past 8, and I actually see that continuing despite the loss of Deebo Samuel today (look for new addition Christian McCaffrey to fill that void in his 2nd game with the team). These division rivals already met in Week 4 — the 49ers beat up on the Rams 24-9 in San Francisco. Look for the 49ers to sweep the regular season as they avoid a 3-game losing streak.
    PICKS: SF -1

    New York Giants (6-1) @ Seattle Seahawks (4-3)
    Injury Watch (Impact Players)
    Questionable: WR DK Metcalf (SEA), WR Tyler Lockett (SEA)
    Out: WR Kenny Golladay (NYG), OT Evan Neal (NYG)

    Game Preview: The Giants are 6-1 but find themselves as road underdogs in Seattle which actually makes sense — this Seattle team led by Geno Smith has played well, winning back to back games against the Cardinals & Chargers. The Giants though have not lost a road game yet (2-0) are a riding a 4-game win streak. This has somehow turned into the game of the day. I just can’t bet against the Giants continuing such an unexpected historic start.
    PICKS: NYG +3
