Game of the week
Miami at New England
The reeling Patriots (1-2) are a seven-point favorite over the surging Dolphins (3-0). But chalk this up to picking the team that needs the game more. New England’s offense should round into form once receiver Julian Edelman returns from suspension (Week 5). But its defense looks beyond massive repair. The Patriots, win, though.
Patriots 27, Dolphins 21
Lock of the week
Philadelphia at Tennessee
The Eagles (2-1) are a four-point favorite at the Titans (2-1). Tennessee quarterback Marcus Mariota (arm) wasn’t supposed to play last week at Jacksonville, but he did in a 9-6 win when Blaine Gabbert was concussed. Philadelphia got quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) back last week and he’ll be the difference.
Eagles 24, Titans 10
Upset of the week
Houston at Indianapolis
The Texans are a one-point underdog and 0-3, including last week’s eye-sore to the New York Giants. Houston isn’t any good, but J.J. Watt (three sacks in Week 3) will single-handedly carry the Texans to their first win.
Texans 13, Colts 6
