Packers -6.5 versus Texans
The Green Bay offense has gotten their groove back behind Aaron Rodgers, and I think their banged up defense can do enough at home against Brock Osweiler and this inconsistent Houston offense.

Saints -5.5 versus Lions
Detroit's lack of a running game might mean that they can't fully take advantage of this New Orleans defense to keep up in a likely shootout. Drew Brees is showing no signs of slowing down, and although the Lions have Darius Slay at one corner spot, the rest of the pass defense is likely to struggle covering all of Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead, and phenomenal rookie Michael Thomas.
Giants +6 at Steelers
Although I am wary of going against Pittsburgh at home, this line seems too high for such an inconsistent defense. Odell Beckham has been hot after his slow start to the season and has a good chance of trying to match Antonio Brown big play for big play.
Panthers +7 at Seahawks
Ditto, but with the Seattle offense being so inconsistent behind that offensive line. Carolina may not be playing as well as last year, but they can still take it to the Seahawks like in the two big wins they had.

With Andrew Luck back after a long week, I like Indy's chances of bouncing back from their Thanksgiving loss against the #31 team in Football Outsiders DVOA. New York's lack of outside threats besides veteran Brandon Marshall will make it difficult to attach this Colts secondary.
Last week: 2-2-1
Season total: 36-32-3
