Arizona Cardinals @ Cleveland Browns
When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Washington Commanders @ New England Patriots
When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET
Television: FOX: Kenny Albert, Jonathan Vilma, Shannon Spake
Notes: After trading away a few key pieces of the Commanders defense, I think the Patriots have an advantage in this game, but they haven’t been able to capitalize off of much of that this season.

Prediction: Commanders
Chicago Bears @ New Orleans Saints
When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 1:00 PM ET

Prediction: Bears
Indianapolis Colts @ Carolina Panthers
When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 4:05 PM ET

Buffalo Bills @ Cincinnati Bengals
When: Sunday, November 5, 2023 @ 8:20 PM ET
Television: NBC: Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, Melissa Stark

Prediction: Bengals
Los Angeles Chargers @ New York Jets
When: Monday, November 6, 2023 @ 8:15 PM ET
