–With the byes starting this week, there will be 14 games with Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay and Pittsburgh getting the byes. That means the league will have two national games that aren’t good attractions. Minnesota figures to beat Cleveland in London, a game that will start at 9:30 a.m. on the East Coast on NFL Network. And Buffalo figures to remain unbeaten on Sunday night with a win over New England.
–But the other two prime time games figure to be interesting. San Francisco and the Rams, tied at 3-1 with Seattle in the NFC West, will meet Thursday night. Seattle hosts 3-1 Tampa Bay in a CBS late Sunday game that won’t get much coverage.
–The other prime time game features 2-2 Kansas City at surprising 3-1 Jacksonville, which leads the league with 13 turnovers on Monday. Indianapolis, tied with the Jaguars, hosts Las Vegas in a Fox early game.
–The Fox doubleheader Sunday game shown too much of the country will feature 2-2 Washington at the 3-1 Chargers.
