Baltimore was 12-7 ATS last season and narrowly failed to cover its opener. The Raiders are on a 13-6 under run. Edge: Under.

Chargers (-6, 39) at Panthers: The Chargers were on a 2-7 ATS run before covering the opener against the Raiders. The Panthers went 4-12-1 ATS last season but were merely 3-4-1 ATS at home.

Saints at Cowboys (-6½, 46½): New Orleans is on a 5-1 ATS run after its opening romp against the Panthers, and the Saints are on a 5-2 ATS run as underdogs. But Dallas is on a 12-4 ATS run at home, including 6-2 as a favorite in the regular season. Edge: Slight to Cowboys.

Buccaneers at Lions (-7½, 51½): A divisional playoff rematch from last season when Detroit won and covered 31-23. The Lions are on a 7-1 ATS run, but Tampa Bay is on a 10-4 ATS run, including 7-1 as an underdog. Detroit is on a 10-3 over run. Edge: Over.

Colts (-3, 41) at Packers: A considerable line move has been made toward Indianapolis with Green Bay expected to be without quarterback Jordan Love. The Colts are on a 5-1 ATS run as favorites. Both teams are on over runs (Colts 10-3, Packers 8-2). Edge: Over.

Browns at Jaguars (-3, 41½): Cleveland ended last season on an 8-3 ATS run, but almost all of that was without quarterback Deshaun Watson, who struggled in the opener against the Cowboys.

49ers (-5½, 45½) at Vikings: San Francisco went 6-2-1 ATS on the road last season, but one of the losses was 22-17 at Minnesota.

The Vikings were 0-4-2 ATS down the stretch before an easy win and cover in the opener against the Giants. Edge: 49ers.

Giants at Commanders (-1½, 43½): New York has covered the past four meetings in this series, and it went 6-1 ATS down the stretch last season before laying an egg in the opener against the Vikings. Washington is on a 1-7 ATS skid. The Giants are also on an 11-5 under run. Edge: Giants and under.

Rams at Cardinals (-1½, 49): The Rams have won and covered eight straight at Arizona, stretching back to the St. Louis era, and are on a 13-2 ATS run overall in this series. Edge: Rams.

Bengals at Chiefs (-5½, 47½): Cincinnati is on a 3-6-1 ATS skid, but most of that was without quarterback Joe Burrow. The Bengals were on a 15-3 ATS run on the road before last season. Kansas City is only 5-5 in its last 10 at home in the regular season. Edge: Bengals.

Steelers (-2½, 36½) at Broncos: Pittsburgh is on a 4-1 ATS run on the road in the regular season and is also on a 22-14 under run. Denver finished last season on an 8-4 under run before going over in its opener. Edge: Under and slight to Steelers.

Bears at Texans (-6, 45½): Chicago is on a 7-2-1 ATS run, though it needed a near-miracle to cover its opener against the Titans. Houston was just 4-5 ATS at home last season. Edge: Slight to Bears.
