In exchange for Smith and a seventh-round pick, the Browns received a 2025 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick in 2026. Next: -3.5 at Houston Texans – Sun, Nov. 10, 5:20 PM PT – O/U: 49 (ATS: 7-1 – O/U: 4-4) Win probability: 69.5%

3. Buffalo Bills (7-2): The Bills pulled out a last second victory 30-27 over the Dolphins on a 61-yard field goal by kicker Tyler Bass with just five seconds remaining in the game.

The move addresses a major weakness at cornerback for the Commanders. Next: -3 vs Pittsburgh Steelers – Sun, Nov. 10, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: 45.5 (ATS: 7-1-1 – O/U: 6-3) Win probability: 51.7%

Next: Bye – Following week: N/A at Chicago Bears - Sun, Nov. 17, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: N/A (ATS: 4-5 – O/U: 4-4-1) Win probability: N/A%

9. Philadelphia Eagles (6-2): The Eagles extended their winning streak to four games with a 28-23 win over the Jaguars.

The Texans offensive line has struggled to protect Stroud this season. He has been sacked 30 times this season. Next: +3.5 vs Detroit Lions – Sun, Nov. 10, 5:20 PM PT – O/U 49 (ATS: 3-5-1 – O/U: 2-7) Win probability: 30.5%

14. Denver Broncos (5-4): The Broncos rans into the Ravens on the wrong Sunday. A week after losing to the Browns, the Ravens took out their frustrations on the Broncos, crushing them 41-10. Broncos head coach Sean Payton has done a great job getting this team to 5-4, but sometimes the smoke & mirrors just don't work. Next: +7.5 at Kansas City Chiefs - Sun, Nov. 10, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: 42 (ATS: 6-3 – O/U: 6-3) Win probability: 12.9%

15. Los Angeles Rams (4-4): The Rams have a three-game winning streak after defeating the Seahawks in Seattle, in overtime.

16. San Francisco 49ers (4-4): The 49ers are coming off a bye in Week 9. CMC, also known as Christian McCaffrey, will likely return in week 10 from his multitude of injuries.

17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5): The Buccaneers scored with 27 seconds left at Kansas City against the Chiefs to cut the score in the Monday night game to 24-23. Head coach Todd Bowles decided to kick the extra point, rather than go for two and the win. When you have the 30th ranked defense and the 30th ranked pass defense in the NFL, on the road against the two-time Super Bowl champs with their great QB, you go for the two points and the win. Next: +6 vs San Francisco 49ers – Sun, Nov. 10, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: 50.5 (ATS: 5-4 – O/U: 7-2) Win probability: 27.4%

20. Seattle Seahawks (4-5): The Seahawks lost for the 5th time in six games, falling to the Rams at home, 26-20. The Seahawks are 0-2 in the Division, with both losses coming at home. They are digging a hole that they may not be able to get out of. Next: Bye – Following week: N/A at San Francisco 49ers - Sun, Nov. 17, 1:05 PM PT – O/U: N/A (ATS: 2-6-1 - O/U: 5-4) Win probability: N/A%

21. Indianapolis Colts (4-5): The Colts lost a tough matchup with the Vikings, 21-13 on the road at Minnesota. The Colts ran just 49 offensive plays and only 227 yards in offense. They need to get back to basics. Run the football with your good run blocking offensive line and hand it off to your All-Pro running back, Johnathan Taylor. Keep it simple. Next: +4 vs Buffalo Bills – Sun, Nov. 10, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: 48 (ATS: 7-2 – O/U: 3-6) Win probability: 31.0%

22. New York Jets (3-6): The Jets won on Thursday Night football, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers connecting with his buddy, wide receiver Davante Adams for a 37 yard-touchdown to put the game away and defeat the Texans, 21-13.

23. Dallas Cowboys (3-5): The Cowboys lost their third consecutive game, this loss coming to the Falcons 27-21. The Cowboys also lost quarterback Dak Prescott to a hamstring injury. Prescott was put on the injured reserve and will miss at least the next four games. Backup Cooper Rush will become the starter at QB. Next: +7 at Philadelphia Eagles - Sun, Nov. 10, 1:25 PM PT – O/U: 43 (ATS: 2-6 – O/U: 5-3) Win probability: 26.7%

24. Miami Dolphins (2-6): Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, but it was not enough to overcome the Bills in Buffalo. The Dolphins are 4.5 games behind the division leading Bills. Their playoff hopes are slipping away. Next: +1 at Los Angeles Rams - Mon, Nov. 11, 5:15 PM PT – O/U: 50 (ATS: 2-6 – O/U: 3-5) Win probability: 41.3%

25. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-7): The Jaguars continue to compete and find ways to lose close games, this time losing to the Eagles 28-23 in Philadelphia. The Jags are 1-5 in games decided by five points or less this season. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence drove the Jags to the Eagles 13-yard line, had a first-and-ten with 1:42 left in the game, yet decided to force a ball into the end zone on first down that was intercepted, ending the chances for a Jags victory.

27. New York Giants (2-7): The Giants continue to struggle, losing their fourth consecutive game to the Commanders, 27-22. The Giants are last in the NFL in scoring offense, averaging 15.4 points per game. Head coach Brian Daboll was considered an offensive guru before he became an NFL head coach. Next: -6.5 at Carolina Panthers – Sun, Nov. 10, 6:30 AM PT – O/U: 40.5 (ATS: 3-6 – O/U: 3-6) Win probability: 70.7%

28. New England Patriots (2-7): Rookie quarterback Drake Maye's spectacular touchdown pass at the end of the game got the Pats into overtime, but they were unable to finish, losing to the Titans 20-17 in overtime. But the good news is that Maye looks like a franchise quarterback. Next: +6 at Chicago Bears – Sun, Nov. 10, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: 38.5 (ATS: 3-5-1 – O/U: 5-4) Win probability: 25.4%

29. Carolina Panthers (2-7): The Panthers won for the second time this season, defeating the Saints, 23-22.

30. New Orleans Saints (2-7): The Saints lost their seventh consecutive game, losing to the Panthers, 23-22.

31. Las Vegas Raiders (2-7): The hapless Raiders lost their fifth consecutive game, falling to the Bengals, 41-24. By the end of the night, the Raiders had fired their offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, along with offensive line coach James Cregg, and quarterback coach Rich Scangarello. The Raiders are a train wreck. The Raiders lead the NFL with 19 turnovers and a -14-turnover ratio. Next: Bye – Following week: N/A at Miami Dolphins - Sun, Nov. 17, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: N/A (ATS: 4-5 – O/U: 6-3) Win probability: N/A%

32. Cleveland Browns (2-7): The Browns fell to the Chargers in Cleveland, 27-10. Quarterback Jameis Winston was sacked six times and threw three interceptions. The Browns made the playoffs last season with Joe Flacco at quarterback. With Flacco gone, and Deshaun Watson mentally and physically done for this season and maybe next season, the Browns may want to use a top five pick on a quarterback. Winston will be a free agent at the end of the season. Next: Bye – Following week: N/A at New Orleans Saints – Sun, Nov. 17, 10:00 AM PT – O/U: N/A (ATS: 3-6 – O/U: 3-6) Win probability: 41.3%
