Burrow is such a difference-maker, and has the Bengals still alive in the AFC North race. SportsLine data expert Stephen Oh says Cincy has a 6.3% chance to steal the division away from John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin.

The Cowboys have fully embraced the idea that they need to win high-scoring games. It’s why Dallas is 6-2-1 when scoring 24-plus points. The Lions are 3-4 when giving up 24 or more points.

Florio’s pick: Cowboys 27, Lions 24. Simms’s pick: Cowboys 37, Lions 28. The Seahawks have bigger fish to fry than the Falcons, and they can’t afford to falter now. Florio’s pick: Seahawks 31, Falcons 17.
