Helmets off to Joe Theismann, the only Playbook analyst who correctly predicted the Broncos would improve to 5-0 last week. The Chiefs, who pushed the Cowboys to overtime, nearly made him look like a regular “Norman Einstein.”
The big question this week is whether any of the winless teams will break through. Sterling Sharpe likes St. Louis to get its first win, Brian Baldinger thinks the Titans to upend the Patriots, and Theismann is sticking with those Chiefs over his former team, the Redskins. Theismann also likes the Buccaneers.
Here are the picks:
| AFC Playbook: Thursday 6 p.m. ET Rams at Jaguars Baldinger: Jaguars Sharpe: Rams Theismann: Jaguars Eagles at Raiders Browns at Steelers Titans at Patriots Bills at Jets Texans at Bengals Broncos at Chargers |
NFC Playbook: Friday 6 p.m. ET Panthers at Buccaneers Baldinger: Panthers Sharpe: Panthers Theismann: Buccaneers Chiefs at Redskins Cardinals at Seahawks Lions at Packers Ravens at Vikings Bears at Falcons Giants at Saints |
