Tonight, 5:15. TV: Amazon Prime Video
Line: Steelers by 3½. O/U: 36½.
Week by week, the Steelers are getting the job done. They’ve won five in a row. The Browns are coming off an embarrassing loss at New Orleans and their defense is breaking down.
Pick: Steelers 21, Browns 17
CHIEFS (9-1) AT PANTHERS (3-7)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: Channel 2 (CBS)
Line: Chiefs by 10½. O/U: 43½.
The narrow loss to Buffalo probably takes some of the pressure off the previously unbeaten Chiefs. Carolina has won two in a row by a combined four points but is outclassed in this matchup.
Pick: Chiefs 38, Panthers 10
COWBOYS (3-7) AT COMMANDERS (7-4)

Sunday, 10 a.m. TV: Channel 11 (FOX)
Line: Commanders by 10½. O/U: 44½.
After back-to-back losses to good teams, the Commanders take out their frustrations on the down-and-out Cowboys. Cooper Rush wasn’t horrendous for Dallas but that team has no confidence.
Pick: Commanders 28, Cowboys 16
VIKINGS (8-2) AT BEARS (4-6)
