Opponent's group in my power rankings at kickoff: Group A Group B Group C Group D Group F
New Orleans SaintsLIONS 31, Saints 30 (DET -7). The Lions scored early and the Saints got off to a slow start, but the switch flipped on for Tyler Shough in the second half. The Lions were sluggish for a while, allowing the Saints to come back. Detroit went down the field in overtime, and the Saints did the same, but missed on the two-point conversion. 469-369 NO, 5.5-5.1 NO
Saints 24, RAVENS 17 (BAL -8.5). The Ravens got out to an early double-digit lead and could have led by more if they didn't make mistakes, but they fell asleep at the wheel in the second half, allowing Tyler Shough to mount a great comeback. 312-298 BAL, 5.6-4.7 BAL
Raiders 35, SAINTS 27 (NO -3). Brock Bowers made some huge plays early in this game, but the Saints got out to a big lead. The Raiders stormed back with two strip-sacks of Tyler Shough and then a Juwan Johnson fumble. 381-340 NO, 5.4-5.3 LV
Falcons 45, SAINTS 24 (NO -2.5). The Falcons ran all over the inept Saints defense. Tyler Shough had no time to throw, and a chunk of his yardage came in garbage time. 420-320 ATL, 7.5-4.6 ATL
Vikings 23, SAINTS 13 (NO +2). The Vikings made some mistakes, including an Aaron Jones fumble in the red zone and a Myles Price returned fumble for a touchdown, but Kyler Murray completed most of his passes and made plays with his legs to get the victory. 364-142 MIN, 5.4-3.3 MIN
New York GiantsGIANTS 28, Cowboys 20 (NYG +3). Jaxson Dart was flawless, as Dallas had no answer for him. The Cowboys made a lot of mistakes with six penalties in the first 20 minutes and then a careless interception right before halftime. 394-244 NYG, 5.8-4.7 NYG
RAMS 28, Giants 6 (LAR -7). Jaxson Dart got hurt on the first drive and Jameis Winston struggled in relief. The Matthew Stafford to Davante Adams connection was lethal all night. 481-182 LAR, 8.0-3.3 LAR
GIANTS 12, Titans 7 (NYG -2.5). The Giants kept the chains moving with tough runs from Cam Skattebo and Najee Harris, but could never score touchdowns. The Titans had three red zone opportunities late but could score only once with a turnover on downs and an interception. 262-238 TEN, 4.6-4.1 TEN
GIANTS 36, Cardinals 24 (NYG +2.5). The Giants were down 14-3 early but stormed back with the help of some Jacoby Brissett interceptions. The Cardinals and Giants then exchanged leads and it looked like the Cardinals would win at the end, but Brissett threw a pick-six on the final play of the game. 319-270 NYG, 5.2-4.3 NYG
REDSKINS 27, Giants 27 (WAS -4). The Redskins were up 19-6 in the third quarter and 27-13 to begin the fourth quarter. They put tons of pressure on Jameis Winston, while Jayden Daniels rushed for 100 yards. The Giants stormed back and sent the game to overtime, but they missed a field goal and then Cam Skattebo fumbled. The Redskins had a field goal, but Daniels ran for no reason and the clock ran out. 408-378 NYG, 6.3-4.9 WAS
