The action began on Thursday with an AFC North showdown where the Cleveland Browns ended the Pittsburgh Steelers’ five-game winning streak.

The weekend also features a double-header of prime-time action at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles: the Philadelphia Eagles (8-1 odds) will face the Los Angeles Rams, and the Baltimore Ravens (6-1 odds) will take on the Los Angeles Chargers.
