- The Cleveland Browns, known for late-game comebacks, face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have a strong home divisional record and are favored to win by 3.5 points.
- The Atlanta Falcons, after upsetting the 49ers, are favored to cover against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had a strong rushing performance last week but face a tough Falcons rush defense.
