Comments:
Unanimous, except for Ravens @ Titans.
On the one hand, the Ravens have played really strong so far this season. On the other hand, there seems to be games where their offense just disappears. They averaged just 10.4 points/game in their five losses.
Eagles @ Giants is really close, by both APR's and SRS' measure.
