Use this as the open thread for the afternoon and evening games.
4:05 PM EST
Chiefs (-1.5) at Raiders: The Patriots won’t face either team this regular season, but a Raiders victory gives Oakland sole possession of 1st place in the AFC West.
4:25 PM EST
Falcons at Seahawks (-6): The Patriots will face the Seahawks later this season, so the Patriots will watch to see if the Falcons can expose the Seattle defense.
Cowboys at Packers (-4.5): This game doesn’t affect the Patriots. The Packers are super banged up, though, and this could be an upset.
8:30 PM EST
Colts at Texans (-3): The Texans are in 1st in the division, so a Colts victory is in the Patriots best interest for conference seeding.
