Tampa Bay (1-5) at Carolina (3-2): Since opening 2025 with six wins in their first eight games, Todd Bowles’s club is a dismal 3-12 in its last 15 contests. The Panthers are riding their first two-game winning streak of 2026. Carolina has allowed 64 points in four games since the 59-37 loss to the Bears in Week 1.

San Francisco (6-0) at Atlanta (2-4): Kyle Shanahan’s squad is coming off a short week and makes the cross country trip to the Peach State to face a Falcons’ team that is winless at home (0-3) and has allowed 30-plus points in each of those losses. The Niners already own a three-game lead in the NFC West.

Denver (4-2) at Arizona (2-4): Despite four wins in six weeks, the Broncos own a minus-11 scoring differential. The Cards are coming off an 18-16 victory over the Rams, and both of the team’s wins this season have come at SoFi Stadium. Denver’s offense is next-to-last in the NFL in total yards per game.

L.A. Rams (2-4) at Las Vegas (3-3): So who had the Silver and Black with a better win-loss record than the Rams after six weeks of play? Including playoffs, Sean McVay’s club is just 7-8 in their last 15 games after opening 9-2 in 2025. The Raiders have allowed 108 points during their current three-game losing streak.

Green Bay (4-2) at Detroit (3-2): The Pack has rebounded with three straight wins since that ugly 35-14 Thursday night home loss to the Falcons Dan Campbell’s club was off last week and only the Buffalo Bills are averaging more points per game. But only two clubs in the NFL are allowing more points per contest.

Sunday night

Kansas City (5-0) at Seattle (3-3): Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III has totaled 106 carries for 665 yards and six scores in five games with the Chiefs. His former team has nine players with 165 attempts for 643 yards and five TDs. Mike Macdonald’s Seahawks have already lost as many games as it did in 2025.

Monday, Oct. 26

Dallas (2-4) at Philadelphia (2-4): The unpredictable Cowboys are playing their third divisional game in seven weeks. The slumping Eagles will now be without quarterback Jalen Hurts for the remainder of the season. This is the first of three straight games vs. NFC East rivals for Nick Sirianni’s shorthanded club.
