Time to get back on track.

Last Week: 0-2 (Season: 13-10)

(All times ET)

SUNDAY, OCT. 27

EAGLES @ BENGALS (1 p.m., CBS)

I’m not going to overreact to the Eagles beating an awful Giants team last week. Yeah, they did what they needed to do, but the Giants OL/QB combo might be the worst in the league right now. It's not like Jalen Hurts was great, and it had the earmarks of Saquon Barkley simply being motivated against the team that cast him aside. Cincinnati is getting healthier, and I think the best unit on the field is the Bengals offense. It's a good time for the Bengals to not blow a lead on their home field and finally win one. 

PICK: Bengals (-2.5) to win by more than 2.5 points

FALCONS @ BUCCANEERS (1 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App )

There might be a little overreaction here to the Tampa WR injuries. The Bucs are still gonna throw the ball. Maybe Cade Otton has a huge day. And remember, the backs are still capable. The Falcons laying points on the road against a team they should have lost to at home a couple of weeks back? What could possibly go wrong? 

PICK: Buccaneers (+2.5) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points, or win outright

BILLS @ SEAHAWKS (4:05 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App )

We don’t know if DK Metcalf is going to play, but there are still plenty of weapons on a Seattle team that might be able to pull
