Bills get the chance to rectify a wrong in Kansas City in this week's best game. On to the rest:

THURSDAY NIGHT
Washington at Chicago (PK, 38), PRIME

SUNDAY EARLY
San Francisco (-5.5/43.5) at Atlanta, FOX
New England at Cleveland (-3/42.5), CBS
N.Y. Jets at Green Bay (-7/46), FOX
Jacksonville at Indianapolis (-2/42), CBS
Minnesota (-3/45.5) at Miami, FOX
Cincinnati (-1.5/43.5) at New Orleans, CBS
Baltimore (-5/44) at N.Y. Giants, CBS
Tampa Bay (-8/43.5) at Pittsburgh, FOX

SUNDAY LATE
Carolina at L.A. Rams (-11/41), FOX
Arizona (-3/51.5) at Seattle, FOX
Buffalo (-2.5/53.5) at Kansas City, CBS

SUNDAY NIGHT
Dallas at Philadelphia (-5/42), NBC

MONDAY NIGHT
Denver at L.A. Chargers (-5.5/45.5), ESPN

BYE: Detroit, Tennessee, Las Vegas, Houston

THOUGHTS: Buffalo-KC should be appointment viewing, and the winner has the inside edge on the 1 seed in the AFC. ... The Sunday night game is a good one, and it sounds like Dak is still a week away or so. Philly survived its scare last week. As impressive as they've been, they've yet to face an adult defense, so this will be an interesting test. If they win, their next four are vs. PIT, at HOU, vs. WSH, at IND, so 10-0 is a definite possibility. ... I've liked what I've seen from the Giants but I don't think they can just run through Baltimore, especially coming off the London game. Ravens have lost a couple of games they shouldn't have, they won't drop one here. ... Can't wait to hear Al's snark on Thursday. What a **** sandwich of a game. ... Denver is in prime time for the fourth time already this year? Gross.

Obviously, they thought Wilson would be something resembling his old self and the Broncos would be good. Whoops.

I'll be watching the replay of Bucs beating the crap out of the Steelers rather than Buffalo-KC, so what the hell do I know?

No wonder Amazon felt compelled to run an extra Black Friday sale this week.

My goodness, the only solace is that Michaels isn't just the best football announcer in good games, he's also the best in horrible games. My guess is 73-0 will be mentioned once or twice.

Well, I'll be watching. The second half, anyway, since that's when the Bears seem to come out of hibernation.
 
Thank Jeebus for baseball.
Bezos is at least worth as much as the top 15 NFL owners combined. It’s the old joke, if Bezos woke up and found out he’s only worth as much as Jerry Jones, he’s throw himself off the Space Needle. Bezos is personally worth 80% of the market capitalization of The Disney Company.

I don’t think Goodell needs to **** him off with the lousy schedule.

Really.

I have to think that the decision-makers have this mistaken impression that Russell Wilson, by himself, is must-see football. I'm certainly not seeing that.

The off-season talk was Wilson was the missing piece that would make Denver a contender.

Missed it by THAT much!
 
Of the 'great' quarterbacks of today's game, Wilson is the one who probably needs the best supporting cast of all of them.
 
And they have one more scheduled prime time game, but it's a Sunday nighter in mid-December, so it's likely to get flexed.
 
Adding A.J. Brown to a maturing DeVonta Smith has certainly made Jalen Hurts look 100 times better. The Eagles' ground game still has the possibility of getting stopped cold along the way.
