I'll also note that this is a unique week on the schedule in that there are zero byes - all 32 teams are playing with a trade deadline on the horizon. Does that possibly impact any games? We shall see.

Here's my picks, pretty close to OP's:

Duval 25 STILLERS 24: In most any other season, I look at our team riding a 3-game win streak and figure "they're due for a loss". But, I think we're turning a corner. The team wearing Hawkeye colors gives us a good run, but a late score and gutsy call to go for two gets us outta Yinzertown with the dub. 

INDY 26 aints 20: The unrest in NOLA is real. Carr is frustrated, and in spite of nearly coming back against the Jags, I don't have any confidence that Dennis Allen is a coach that is going to rally his team to victories. Myles Garrett gave Minshew fits last weekend, but the horseshoes still nearly got the win. Much like last Thursday, I expect this game to be a lot more lopsided than the final score.

failcons 30 stinking tacks (H) 5: The tacks are looking to play BOTH Will Levis and Malik Willis. I bet Vrabel would trade for Josh Dobbs if he were available.  Derrick Henry requires a shovel to be cleaned up off the field after the team finally achieves its goal of grinding him to a fine paste. ATL gets a few defensive scores and doesn't need to worry about their own stench at the QB position.

tinhorns 28 CAR 7: Ah, regret. The Panthers get a dose of what might have been. CJ Stroud makes em hurt.
