Cynthia Frelund · Nov 7, 2025

Cynthia's model/picks: Patriots edge the Buccaneers by a point, the Bears beat the Giants by more than 3.5 thanks to New York's outside run defense, the Steelers upset the Chargers outright, and the Ravens win in Minnesota by more than four.

I actually think that the Steelers win this one outright.
