What we’re hearing on the Dolphins: Miami joyously celebrated last week’s win over the Buffalo Bills, but the celebrations ended as soon as the team boarded the plane to Madrid. Fullback Alec Ingold credited the Dolphins’ coaching staff for establishing a 24-hour rule and keeping them focused as they attempt to put together their first winning streak of the season. Coach Mike McDaniel insisted that looking to more than just the next game is «a recipe for failure» and that the Dolphins are hyper focused on the Commanders. — Marcel Louis-Jacques
Trey Amos (fibula) and Marshon Lattimore (ACL) — the defense ranks 28th versus the run over the past five weeks and will be without tackle Daron Payne (suspension). «We’ll miss Daron for sure inside, his presence, his physicality,» Quinn said. Payne will be replaced by second-year man Jer’Zhan Newton, who isn’t as big or as strong as Payne but can win with quickness. — John Keim
Stat to know: The Commanders average 4.9 yards per rush, sixth highest in the NFL. On the contrary, the Dolphins allow 4.9 yards per rush, fifth worst in the NFL. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt will record at least 80 rushing yards for the first time in over a month. Why? Because the Commanders are averaging 2.5 yards per carry after contact (second most in the NFL), while the Dolphins’ defense has allowed 2.2 yards per carry after contact (fourth most). — Walder
Injuries: Dolphins | Commanders
Fantasy nugget: Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle is one of the few Miami players, along with RB De’Von Achane, that fantasy managers can trust in lineups. Since Week 5, which was the first game following Tyreek Hill’s season-ending injury, Waddle has averaged 6.8 targets and 14.5 fantasy points per game. The Commanders are an excellent matchup for Waddle, as Washington’s defense has given up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to WRs. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: The Dolphins are 1-4 against the spread (ATS) this season when the line is between +3 and -3. Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: Dolphins 20, Commanders 12
Moody’s pick: Dolphins 32, Commanders 20
Walder’s pick: Commanders 27, Dolphins 21
FPI prediction: WSH, 51.9% (by an average of 0.4 points)

ESPN BET: BUF -5.5 (47.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Buccaneers: Coach Todd Bowles is very conscious of how explosive the Bills’ offense can be, namely QB Josh Allen (running and passing) and RB James Cook III. Buffalo averages the second-most yards per game (384.4) and leads the NFL in rushing yards (153.2). After yielding several explosive plays against the Patriots last week, the Bucs are trying to keep that from happening again. «[Cook’s] dangerous,» Bowles said. «He’s very dangerous. He can do a lot of things running and catching the football. if you’re a half-step late, he’s going to take it to the house.» — ESPN Staff
What we’re hearing on the Bills: The Bills’ defense is starting to get a bit healthier, with rookie DT T.J. Sanders (knee) set to be activated from injured reserve. The group will look to bounce back against the run after allowing the Dolphins to rush for their season high of 197 yards. «We didn’t get the guy on the ground in the situations we needed to, and that’s across the board,» coordinator Bobby Babich said. «And when you think it’s getting better, all of a sudden, [the Dolphins] game shows up. And you look back at it, you’re like, why? So, we’ve got to answer that why. And I know the guys will respond to it.» — Alaina Getzenberg
Stat to know: Allen has exactly two turnovers in all three of the Bills’ losses. He has one turnover in their six wins. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Bills RB Ty Johnson will record at least 40 receiving yards. Johnson could be the latest running back to take advantage of Bucs LB SirVocea Dennis’ coverage struggles. — Walder
1 p.m. ET | CBS
ESPN BET: LAC -2.5 (43.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Chargers: QB Justin Herbert was the most animated he’d been all season in Sunday’s win over the Steelers, arguing with officials about different hits. He was sacked five times and pressured 12 times in the game, but he said Wednesday that he doesn’t think the arguing will help him. «If I make a big deal, odds are they’re not going to call it,» he said. — Kris Rhim
What we’re hearing on the Jaguars: This should be a game in which the Jaguars’ underachieving pass rush has a big day. Herbert has been sacked the third-most times in the NFL (33) and been hit a league-high 134 times, and his two starting offensive tackles (Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt) are out for the season. Yet, the Jaguars have had advantageous situations before and not delivered. Edge rusher Josh Hines-Allen, who needs a half-sack to set the all-time franchise record, and Travon Walker have combined for just four sacks this season. — Michael DiRocco
Stat to know: Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence has 79 career passing touchdowns, one shy of becoming the fourth player in Jaguars history to reach 80 passing touchdowns with the franchise. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Herbert will attempt 40-plus pass attempts. The Chargers rank second in pass rate over expectation (plus-6%), per NFL Next Gen Stats, and the Jaguars’ defense has induced the second-highest pass rate over expectation against it (plus-2%). — Walder
Injuries: Chargers | Jaguars
Fantasy nugget: The Chargers’ defense has scored at least 13 fantasy points in two of their past three games. Los Angeles has held opposing QBs to a 38% completion rate while under pressure this season, the third-lowest mark in the league. The Chargers have also allowed just one passing touchdown and forced five interceptions on deep throws, the best ratio in the NFL. Even more impressive, they’ve recorded nine interceptions while rushing only four defenders, tied for the most in the league. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: Lawrence is 2-0 ATS against Los Angeles, including the playoffs. Before that, the Chargers covered in nine straight meetings against the Jaguars. Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: Chargers 29, Jaguars 16
Moody’s pick: Chargers 20, Jaguars 16
Walder’s pick: Chargers 25, Jaguars 22
FPI prediction: LAC, 56.7% (by an average of 3.0 points)

ESPN BET: GB -7.5 (41.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Packers: Coach Matt LaFleur and his staff spent the week trying to find a solution for their suddenly struggling offense. Maybe they should put the ball in the hands of their $220 million QB a little more instead of trying to run the ball so much. That would be just fine with Jordan Love. «Definitely,» Love said. «As a player you always want that. You always want the pressure to be on you, to be able to get the team out of funks. … You’ve just got to trust the process and take one play at a time. But I love having the ball in my hands at all times, and I love that pressure.» — Rob Demovsky
What we’re hearing on the Giants: The Giants won’t have much time to get things in order and make drastic changes after firing coach Brian Daboll on Monday. «You’ve got about 10 minutes and the rest of the league doesn’t really care,» tight ends coach and newly appointed offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said. Interim coach Mike Kafka and defensive coordinator Shane Bowen spent time this week trying to figure out the team’s fourth-quarter woes. They better fix them quickly; Green Bay’s 103 points in the fourth quarter are more than double what it has scored in any other quarter this season. — Jordan Raanan
Stat to know: The Packers are trying to avoid their third straight game with 13 or fewer points, which would be their longest streak since 1999 (three). — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Giants LB Bobby Okereke will record 12-plus tackles. The Packers are going to run the ball all over the Giants because of New York’s weakness at stopping the run. The result will be a ton of tackles for Okereke. — Walder
1 p.m. ET | CBS
ESPN BET: PIT -5.5 (48.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Bengals: Sunday will be the biggest test to date for Cincinnati’s rookie guard pairing of Dylan Fairchild (who missed the first game against Pittsburgh because of a knee injury) and Jalen Rivers. The offensive line has been playing well in recent weeks but needs to contend with Steelers edge rusher Nick Herbig, who leads the league in pass rush win rate (32.8%). «A lot of time it comes down to the trenches in this one, especially on the road [with] silent cadence [and] the advantages that that creates for them,» coach Zac Taylor said. «And so we have to do a great job.» — Ben Baby
What we’re hearing on the Steelers: The Bengals, aka the league’s worst rushing attack, ran all over the Steelers en route to an upset win in Week 7. RB Chase Brown’s 108 yards on 11 carries enabled QB Joe Flacco to unleash an effective, quick passing game. This time, the Steelers are plenty aware that the key to slowing an offense that’s averaging 37.6 points in its past three games is stopping Brown. «The run game kind of stabilized everything,» DT Cameron Heyward said of the Bengals’ offense. «I know the wide receivers did an amazing job on their side of the ball in catching, and the quarterback got it out quick, but I just think if you can create more of those one-dimensional situations, you’ll have a lot more success.» — Brooke Pryor
Stat to know: Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase has a receiving touchdown in three straight games versus the Steelers; he would be first player with a receiving touchdown in four straight games versus Pittsburgh since Carl Pickens for the Bengals (1994-96). — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Steelers TEs will combine for at least 10 receptions. Not only do the Steelers target the position 34% of the time (second most), but the Bengals allow 26% of opposing targets to go to TEs — more than any other defense. — Walder
Injuries: Bengals | Steelers
Fantasy nugget: RB Jaylen Warren has had at least 15 touches in six of his eight games this season. He has averaged 13.7 fantasy points, which likely represents his floor rather than his ceiling against the Bengals. Cincinnati’s defense has allowed the most fantasy points per game to RBs. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: Five straight Bengals games have gone over the total. Overs are 7-2 in Bengals games this season (7-1 in the past eight). Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: Steelers 34, Bengals 28
Moody’s pick: Bengals 27, Steelers 21
Walder’s pick: Bengals 30, Steelers 23
FPI prediction: PIT, 58.6% (by an average of 3.4 points)

ESPN BET: MIN -2.5 (48.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Bears: Caleb Williams’ «Houdini» act — as coach Ben Johnson called the QB’s scrambling ability — allowed the Bears to win in Week 10. It was Williams’ fourth winning drive of the season, which is tied with Baker Mayfield and Bo Nix for the most in the NFL. Williams also has the second-highest QBR (94) with three touchdown passes and zero turnovers in the final two minutes of either half this season. «You just get in that mode,» Williams said. «Defenses have shown you throughout the game what they’ve game-planned for you, so you get into a rhythm and a flow toward the end of the game. … The mindset changes in the sense of we have no other option at that point other than to score and fight and fight and fight, and that’s what we do and what we’ve done.» — Courtney Cronin
What we’re hearing on the Vikings: QB J.J. McCarthy has been one of the NFL’s least accurate passers this season, ranking 44th of 46 QBs who have made at least one start in off-target percentage (22.1%). This week added an additional challenge: a bruised right hand that limited his practice participation. McCarthy and coach Kevin O’Connell downplayed the injury’s significance, but there are plenty of reasons to be concerned about accuracy when McCarthy’s throwing hand is affected. The Bears’ defense is vulnerable, having allowed the NFL’s fifth-most touchdown passes (20). But can McCarthy take advantage? — Kevin Seifert
Stat to know: Even though the Bears are tied with the Lions for the best record in the NFC North, Williams is 1-7 versus the division, including 0-2 this season. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: McCarthy will throw multiple interceptions. We’ve seen only four games of McCarthy, and while he has had his moments, the cumulative numbers on those four games are not pretty; most of all a 26.6 QBR. On paper, the Bears’ defense ought to be a soft matchup. But when we’re predicting interceptions, it’s the QB that matters most. — Walder
1 p.m. ET | FOX
ESPN BET: HOU -6.5 (37.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Texans: Houston has had two separate opportunities to get to .500 after starting the season 0-3. Both times the Texans lost, but they were facing opponents with winning records. This time, they face a struggling Titans team that sports the worst record in the league. After a 19-point comeback win last week, Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke acknowledged the euphoria of the win but said the message this week is, «Hey, let’s put our head down. I hope we don’t have to win that way again.» — DJ Bien-Aime
What we’re hearing on the Titans: The Titans were shut out by Houston when they played in Week 4. Houston’s stingy defense is allowing a league-best 16.7 points per game, while the Titans are scoring an NFL-low 14.4 points per contest. Seven teams in the Super Bowl era (1967) have shut out the same team twice in one season, most recently in 2002 when the Falcons did it to the Panthers. That won’t happen if QB Cam Ward can help it. «We got to own up to the little things that we did wrong in that game and correct them,» Ward said. «They got two good edge rushers, so I have to be stepping up in the pocket and then also getting the ball out to help the O-line.» — Turron Davenport
Stat to know: Texans WR Nico Collins hit season highs in targets (15) and receiving yards (136) last week versus the Jaguars but has gone three straight games without a receiving touchdown. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Titans Edge Arden Key, who returned to practice Wednesday from a quadriceps injury, will record a sack. Key has just 1.5 sacks in five games, but he has an impressive 22.5% pass rush win rate at Edge and the Texans’ offensive line has struggled. — Walder
Injuries: Texans | Titans
Fantasy nugget: Texans RB Woody Marks finished with 16 touches and 16.1 fantasy points against the Jaguars, suggesting the Texans are comfortable with him as the leader of their committee. He has three games with at least 15 touches and has averaged 19.7 fantasy points in those games. The Titans’ defense has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to RBs. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: The Titans are 8-1-1 ATS in their past 10 games following a bye. Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: Texans 23, Titans 16
Moody’s pick: Texans 30, Titans 13
Walder’s pick: Texans 23, Titans 13
FPI prediction: HOU, 67.2% (by an average of 6.9 points)

1 p.m. ET | FOX
ESPN BET: ATL -3.5 (41.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Panthers: The theme this week has been the Panthers’ inability to get the ball downfield, particularly to rookie receiver Tetairoa McMillan. They averaged only 11.25 points over the past four games, and last week, the Saints might have discovered the winning formula vs. Carolina — load up to stop RB Rico Dowdle and the run game and dare QB Bryce Young to beat you. Even in a 30-0 victory over the Falcons, Carolina struggled offensively. Young passed for only 114 yards, and the run game produced only 110. Look for the Panthers to make adjustments. — David Newton
What we’re hearing on the Falcons: Since Week 4, Falcons WR Drake London has the fifth-most receiving yards (532) and is tied for the second-most receiving touchdowns (six). London has done some of his best work against zone coverage — 44 catches for 557 yards (fifth most in the league) and three touchdowns, per NFL Next Gen Stats. The Panthers just so happen to have played zone coverage on a league-high 84.8% of dropbacks. — Marc Raimondi
Stat to know: Young is 5-4 as the starter this season, one win shy of matching his total number of wins from the first two seasons of his career combined (6-22). — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Falcons CB A.J. Terrell Jr. will allow no more than one reception to McMillan. Terrell has great coverage metrics this season, allowing 0.5 yards per coverage snap (best among outside corners) and just a 9% target rate (second best). — Walder
4:05 p.m. ET | FOX
ESPN BET: LAR -3.5 (48.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Seahawks: This matchup pits Seattle’s fifth-ranked scoring defense against one of the leading MVP candidates in QB Matthew Stafford, who has thrown a league-high 25 touchdown passes against only two interceptions. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald has faced Stafford just twice as a coach or coordinator, «but this is probably the best I’ve seen him play,» Macdonald said. «… He’s decisive, they’re putting him in great situations, diagnosing defenses at a really high level, handling the protections at a high level. They’re explosive right now in their pass game, and then they’re converting in a lot of those conversion downs, too, which keeps drives extended.» — Brady Henderson
What we’re hearing on the Rams: The winner of this game will break the current first-place tie in the NFC West. According to ESPN Research, the Rams have a 50% chance to win the division, while the Seahawks have a 33% chance. If the Rams win, their chances of winning the NFC West jump to 66% and Seattle’s fall to 19%. If the Seahawks win, their chances rise to 55% and Los Angeles’ fall to 27%. Despite the significance of the game, Stafford said, «Sometimes people look at them like they count for two, and I understand that. But it’s just another opportunity, I think, for us to try to go get better.» — Sarah Barshop
Stat to know: Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL with 1,041 receiving yards. He’s the first player in Seahawks history with 1,000 receiving yards in the team’s first nine games. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Rams DT Kobie Turner will record a sack. Seahawks starting C Jalen Sundell is out, meaning backup Olu Oluwatimi is in, and both Grey Zabel and Anthony Bradford have been a little below average in pass block win rate among guards. — Walder
Injuries: Seahawks | Rams
Fantasy nugget: The Rams’ defense has allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to RBs. The Seahawks should lean more heavily on QB Sam Darnold, Smith-Njigba and the passing game against Los Angeles. Fantasy managers might want to reconsider starting RBs Kenneth Walker III or Zach Charbonnet. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: The Seahawks are 4-0 outright and ATS on the road this season. The Seahawks are 11-1 outright on the road under Macdonald (8-4 ATS). Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: Seahawks 28, Rams 23
Moody’s pick: Rams 27, Seahawks 24

ESPN BET: SF -2.5 (48.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the 49ers: Without star LB Fred Warner (ankle), the 49ers have been more susceptible against TEs than in recent seasons. They’ve given up the third-most touchdowns to the position (six) of any team, and now they get the Cardinals when star TE Trey McBride figures to be a focal point of an offense that’s missing receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendicitis) and Zay Jones (Achilles). McBride has been particularly effective with QB Jacoby Brissett, averaging eight receptions for 82 yards and 1.25 touchdowns in the past four weeks. «Offensively, they know how to move the ball,» coach Kyle Shanahan said. «Brissett’s been playing very well this last month.» — Nick Wagoner
What we’re hearing on the Cardinals: The Cardinals had eight players — including six starters — not practice because of injuries Thursday. They will be without their top receiver in Harrison and could be playing with a new right tackle. Arizona saw the downside of playing without two starting cornerbacks last week, but their defense might be healthier because defensive linemen Darius Robinson and Walter Nolen III were limited at practice. Left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. said he has never seen a team as beat up as the current Cardinals roster, but coach Jonathan Gannon said that this is life in the NFL. — Josh Weinfuss
Stat to know: The 49ers are averaging 22.0 points per game (23rd in the NFL). That’s the team’s fewest points per game through 10 games since averaging 17.4 in 2017 (first season under Shanahan). — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: 49ers backup RB Brian Robinson Jr. will record at least 50 rushing yards for the second time this season. The Cardinals are allowing 5.5 yards per carry to outside zone runs (fourth most), which the 49ers specialize in. And Robinson has been the more effective rusher (over Christian McCaffrey) this season. — Walder
Injuries: 49ers | Cardinals
Fantasy nugget: Brissett has revived the passing game for Arizona in recent weeks, topping 19 fantasy points in four straight games with Kyler Murray (foot) still on injured reserve. With Harrison out this week, McBride should be the focal point of the passing attack. He has four games this season with at least 10 targets and has averaged 22.6 fantasy points in those contests. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: The Cardinals are 11-4 ATS as underdogs since the start of last season (9-2 ATS past 11). Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: 49ers 23, Cardinals 20
Moody’s pick: 49ers 31, Cardinals 20
Walder’s pick: 49ers 23, Cardinals 16

ESPN BET: KC -3.5 (44.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Chiefs: DT Chris Jones has recorded two sacks (97th in the NFL) and a pressure percentage of 9% (43rd in the league), but the Chiefs aren’t worried about his slow start. «Chris is always striving to do better every day. That’s what has made him such a good player,» coach Andy Reid said. «Again, he’s the guy that they’re going to focus on, and if you’re getting a double team, that’s who’s getting doubled. He’ll get his as we go forward, it’s just important that he stays consistent and keeps working hard.» — ESPN staff
What we’re hearing on the Broncos: The Broncos have tried hard to frame this game into the one-week-at-a-time picture they’ve painted in their current seven-game win streak, but this is the first time since Peyton Manning that Denver enters this matchup with a prime chance to win the AFC West. While the Broncos’ offensive struggles bear watching, one of the other big-ticket items will be how often the league’s best defense at sacking QBs (46 sacks, 14 more than the next team) gets to Patrick Mahomes. In the Chiefs’ four losses, defenses have hit Mahomes an average of 9.3 times, including 15 hits by the Bills two weeks ago, compared with just 5.8 times in the Chiefs’ five wins. — Jeff Legwold
Stat to know: The Chiefs are looking to avoid losing two straight games for the second time this season (started 0-2). They haven’t lost two straight multiple times in a season since 2017. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Mahomes will record a 90-plus QBR and be the MVP favorite come Monday. Mahomes has been on fire, the Chiefs are coming off a bye, and the Broncos are missing Pat Surtain II (pectoral injury). — Walder
4:25 p.m. ET | CBS
ESPN BET: BAL -7.5 (39.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Ravens: QB Lamar Jackson isn’t at full strength because of knee soreness, which puts extra emphasis on protecting him from edge rusher Myles Garrett. In Garrett’s past nine games against Baltimore, he has recorded 8.5 sacks and 14 QB hits. «He’s probably one of the best edge rushers this league has ever seen,» fullback Patrick Ricard said. Through nine games, the Ravens have allowed 25 sacks, which is one more than they gave up all of last season. — Jamison Hensley
What we’re hearing on the Browns: The Browns are reeling after a disastrous loss to the Jets, but they have typically played the Ravens tight. Baltimore hasn’t swept Cleveland since Kevin Stefanski’s first season as coach in 2020, and the Browns are 3-2 at home against the Ravens under Stefanski. Jackson was hurt or inactive for two of the victories, but Cleveland pulled off a 29-24 upset last season. «Obviously the offense is a huge challenge with him in there — just his ability as a passer, the ability that his running element adds to their offense. They have playmakers throughout the roster,» Stefanski said. — Daniel Oyefusi
Stat to know: The Browns have allowed 264.9 yards per game — the second fewest in the NFL behind the Texans. Cleveland has given up a league-low 15.7 first downs per game. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Ravens WR Zay Flowers will record his first 100-yard receiving game since Week 1. Flowers has quietly had a nice season with 2.6 yards per route run, which ranks sixth among all WRs with at least 100 routes in 2025. — Walder
Injuries: Ravens | Browns
Fantasy nugget: Browns RB Quinshon Judkins finished with just 10.5 fantasy points in Week 10, but his 24 touches were encouraging considering he’s recovering from a shoulder injury. Even though the Ravens’ defense has improved in recent weeks, it still has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to RBs. It’s also worth noting that Baltimore has allowed an opposing lead back to score at least 15 fantasy points in four consecutive games. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody
Betting nugget: The past four Ravens-Browns games have gone over the total. Read more. — ESPN Research
Maldonado’s pick: Ravens 24, Browns 9
Moody’s pick: Ravens 38, Browns 20

ESPN BET: PHI -2.5 (46.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Lions: Since coach Dan Campbell arrived in 2021, the Eagles are the only NFC team the Lions haven’t beat. Detroit is 0-2 versus Philadelphia under Campbell, losing 44-6 in Week 8 of the 2021 season then falling 38-35 in Week 1 of 2022. «First, I just want to win. I mean, that’s what being competitive is,» Campbell said. «You want to win and, yeah, we played them twice. They got our number twice. They got after us both times really. … They have a style and they’re very good at it.» — Eric Woodyard
What we’re hearing on the Eagles: Thanks in part to the addition of edge rusher Jaelan Phillips and the return of Nolan Smith Jr. from a triceps injury, Philadelphia’s defensive line dominated against Green Bay with 21 pressures, eight QB hits and three sacks. Jared Goff has completed just 50% of his throws with a touchdown and two interceptions while being pressured this season, per NFL Next Gen Stats. He has an 83% completion rate with 16 touchdowns and one interception when he is not pressured. — Tim McManus
Stat to know: The Eagles have four turnovers this season, the fewest in the NFL and their fewest through nine games of a season in franchise history. — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: The Eagles will have a positive pass rate over expectation for just the second time this season, per NFL Next Gen Stats. In last week’s ugly win, the Eagles reverted to their run-heavy ways — without success. It would make more sense for them to throw the ball more against Detroit, and I expect they will. — Walder
Monday, 8:15 p.m. ET | ESPN
ESPN BET: DAL, -3.5 (49.5 O/U)
What we’re hearing on the Cowboys: Less than two weeks after the death of teammate Marshawn Kneeland, the Cowboys have to play a game. Coach Brian Schottenheimer and his staff have been tasked with getting the players mentally and physically right under difficult circumstances. Perhaps coming off a bye and with an extra day (because they play Monday) will help. «We understand our best way to honor Marshawn on the field is how we play,» Schottenheimer said. «That’s something we get to control, and I think the guys are excited about that.» — Todd Archer
What we’re hearing on the Raiders: Coach Pete Carroll said the team decided to move on from special teams coordinator Tom McMahon because «it was time for a change.» Las Vegas’ special teams unit was one of the factors in the Raiders’ loss to the Broncos. The Raiders allowed a blocked punt and Daniel Carlson missed a tying field goal in the fourth quarter. Assistant special teams coach Derius Swinton II was named the interim special teams coordinator. «There’s [no] time to change a bunch of our scheme at this point, but it’s to emphasize and focus on things that we needed to get better,» Carroll said. «And so, I’m hoping that the voice change will help us in that regard.» — Ryan McFadden
Stat to know: Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty accounts for 70% of team’s rushing yards, which is the third highest by any player in the NFL after the Colts’ Jonathan Taylor (78%) and Dolphins’ De’Von Achane (73%). — ESPN Research
Bold prediction: Raiders WR Tre Tucker will make a 40-plus-yard reception. Tucker runs lots of deep routes, and he specifically runs a lot of deep routes over the middle of the field. The Cowboys allow more targets to the downfield middle than average. — Walder
Injuries: Cowboys | Raiders
Fantasy nugget: WRs CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens should feast against a Raiders secondary that has allowed the fourth-most receptions and the fourth-most fantasy points per game to receivers. There should be plenty of volume for both of them to produce. Pickens has averaged 8.0 targets per game, while Lamb has averaged 9.0. The Cowboys’ offensive line also ranks ninth in pass block win rate, giving QB Dak Prescott ample time to deliver the ball to his playmakers. See Week 11 rankings. — Moody

Maldonado’s pick: Cowboys 26, Raiders 23
Moody’s pick: Cowboys 34, Raiders 23
Walder’s pick: Cowboys 28, Raiders 14
FPI prediction: DAL, 58.6% (by an average of 3.5 points)
