It's been a longer wait for Sunday than usual after the NFL moved the previously-scheduled "Thursday Night Football" game to Monday, giving us a double-header that starts with a huge Chiefs-Bills matchup. But before we get there, we're in for a packed Sunday of football, starting with a key AFC North battle between the undefeated Steelers and the upstart Browns. The late afternoon slate features just two games, but one is a big showdown between two of the NFC's best teams in the Packers and Buccaneers. Finally, an NFC West battle caps off the day as the 49ers try to right the ship against a Rams team that has played well all season.Each week, we'll collect all of the best picks and gambling content from CBSSports.com and SportsLine in one place, so you can get picks against the spread from our CBS Sports experts as well as additional feature content for each

And I have to say, now that I'm talking about it, I might actually try to watch a documentary on bears this weekend. ... Through five games, the Bears have scored zero points in the third quarter, which is the lowest total of any team in the NFL this season, INCLUDING THE JETS. That's not a typo. The Bears are worse than the Jets at something. I think we know in which quarter Foles is playing opo sum. ... I think the Panthers are going to have a tough time scoring on the Bears and if you combine that with the fact that I've decided not to pick against Nick Foles for the foreseeable future, I think we know who I'm taking in this game." -- John Breech, who has the Bears winning 20-17Breech is 5-2 with his Lock of the Week and just hit on the Dolphins upsetting the 49ers last week.

I think there's a big difference in quarterbacks. (Gardner) Minshew has done a nice job, but he's been average in four of his five games. (Matthew) Stafford's not."Pete Prisco: "I got two best bets in this game. I'm going Over, and my only concern with that -- and it's become a bigger concern as the week goes on -- all they're talking about is how James Robinson is not getting the ball enough and they're throwing it too much. But that's a great theory until you're down 14-0 because your defense can't stop the pa sing game. ... You know, Stafford's never thrown a touchdown pa s against the Jaguars, the only team the league he hasn't thrown a touchdown pa s (against). This week, he's gonna throw three or four against them. Light 'em up, I like the Lions and I like the Over."Will Brinson: "I like the Lions here ... for all the reasons you guys said. Lions are square, but I don't care. The Jaguars stink. ...

The Vikings are home for the first time in two weeks and they will find a way to win this one.

A COVID-19 outbreak in Nashville didn't seem to disrupt the Titans in Week 5 despite the fact that they were mi sing several important players, as they downed the Buffalo Bills, 42-16. Ryan Tannehill accounted for four total touchdowns and it feels like people are finally waking up to the fact that he may be one of the better signal-callers in the NFL. Tannehill has won 13 games since becoming Tenne see's starter last season (including playoffs), and that is tied with Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson and Aaron Rodgers for the most in that span. If they can beat a talented Bills team by 26, I think they can beat a one-win Texans team by four points." -- Jordan Dajani on why he has the Titans easily covering on SundayDajani is having a great season with his picks, going 44-28-2 ATS.

Washington needs to figure out what it's doing at quarterback." -- NFL insider Jonathan Jones on why he's taking the Giants to get their first win on SundayJones, who is 49-26-1 straight up on the year, went 9-4 last week but says he has "an even better feeling about this week."

They're up against a team I think is clearly a tier above, and it's a bad matchup as the Steelers rank second in yards per rush allowed and first in rush defense DVOA. So Baker Mayfield, who looked banged up near the end of last week's game and is questionable to play, will have to do the heavy lifting, but the Browns pa s offense has been average and is dealing with injuries to its top two receivers, while the Steelers pa s offense is replacing injured players like Diontae Johnson with breakout rookies. I worry about the Browns' ability to play catch-up if needed; they haven't been down big in any of their four wins, but they might face that scenario against a strong D here." -- R.J.

Carson Wentz still battled inconsistency, turning the ball over twice and was pre sured on a large chunk of his dropbacks (five sacks). Meanwhile, the Ravens are still a force to be reckoned with in the AFC and have been tremendous wagers as a touchdown favorite, owning a 3-0-1 ATS record this season. Lamar Jackson is also a near lock to cover on the road. For his career, Jackson has a road ATS record of 10-2-1. That 83 cover percentage on the road is the second best mark since 2000 (min. 10 starts)." -- Tyler Sullivan on why the Ravens are one of his locks for Week 6Sully has posted a strong ATS record of 41-34-1 on all his picks this year.

It's not that he's awful overall when favored, but he isn't good, either. His teams have gone 41-52-2 ATS since 2010 when favored, and it's not hard to figure out why. Rivers turns the ball over a lot. It's hard to cover spreads when you're turning the ball over. Also, this spread is too large. The Bengals got crushed by the Ravens last week, but crushing bad teams is what the Ravens do very well. I think that game is having too much of an impact on this line. The Colts defense is fantastic, but it's not unbeatable, as we saw last week against the Browns. Cincinnati isn't going to win this game, but it will do enough, and Rivers will to s an interception or two to help them stay within range." -- Tom Fornelli on why the Bengals are one of his best bets for Week 6Fornelli finally hit a rough patch last week but has still posted a strong 9-5-1 record on the season.

This team has been incredibly competitive. It damn near won at Seattle and had the Chiefs completely on the ropes despite an untenable quarterback situation in a game that was played under le s-than-ideal circumstances. The Pats will use this game to work on what they do best like it's a practice, because they haven't had the kind of practices they would normally because of the disruptions the virus has had on the team. They won't call off the dogs and this is a bad, bad spot for Drew Lock to be returning to. I expect this game to be a blowout." -- NFL insider Jason La Canfora on why the Patriots are one of his best betsLa Canfora is keeping it slim with his best bets this week, only taking one other team ATS. in his Friday column. Pete Prisco Jason La Canfora Will Brinson Jared Dubin Ryan Wilson John Breech Dave Richard Jamey Eisenberg Broncos at Patriots (-9) Jets at Dolphins Time:Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS), stream on Open:Dolphins -8, O/U 50 Current:Dolphins -9.5, O/U 47The Dolphins ruined plenty of survivor pools last week by destroying the 49ers despite coming into the game as a ma sive underdog. Will the Jets be able to turn the tables on the Dolphins in a similar situation this week? It's hard to see it, not just because the Jets are still without their starting quarterback, but also because the Dolphins appear to be hitting their stride, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Another point in favor of taking Miami this week is that you're never going to use them again this season, so playing them now allows you to save other potential options like the Ravens and Patriots. The Jets probably aren't going 0-16, so I don't think you can just fade them

The Packers are probably the better team here, but this is sort of a desperation game for the Buccaneers, who would fall to 3-3 after losing to the Bears last week. The Packers are off a bye but the Bucs get 10 days' rest too. I am very interested to see how the Tampa run defense responds to the lo s of Vita Vea. One of the best run defenders in the NFL just a few years into his career, losing him could unlock Aaron Jones in a big way. I'll regret this pick if it's that problematic, but I tend to think Brady -- who caught a backhanded insult from Jamaal Williams this week -- will come out guns blazing for this matchup and take care of busine s at home." -- Will Brinson on why the Bucs will topple the undefeated Packers in Week 6Brinson was so confident in the Bucs that he made him a best bet on the Pick Six Podcast on Friday.
