4B SUNDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2021 PRESS SUN-BULLETIN WEEK 8 PREVIEW BENGALS (5-2) AT JETS (1-5) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Bengals by keys: The Bengals should look to pick apart a young secondary with and Tyler Boyd, and TE C.J. Uzomah might get an shot to find the end zone again. keys: QB Mike White will start. He looked slow last week, but the defense has been suscep- tible to the pass but not the run.
RAMS (6-1) AT TEXANS (1-6) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox Tipico Sportsbook line: Rams by keys: Control the tem- po with QB Matthew Staf- ford, methodically moving the ball with RB Darrell Hen- derson or using the passing attack to bury Houston early. keys: Penalties and turnovers have been a problem. WR Brandin Cooks has been the lone con- sistent element on offense. TITANS (5-2) AT COLTS (3-4) TV: 1 p.m.
ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Colts by keys: The offense must run through RB Derrick Henry, who totaled 144 yards in Week 3 against Indy. keys: QB Carson Wentz needs to continue pushing the ball downfield to WRs Michael Pittman Jr. and T.Y. Hilton. DT Grover Stewart must lead the way in stopping the run game.
STEELERS (3-3) AT BROWNS (4-3) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Browns by keys: The offense will have to protect QB Ben Roethlisberger to keep Browns DEs Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney from controlling the game. keys: The offense needs a healthy line to open up holes. RB Nick Chubb (calf) could return, but Johnson can carry the load. EAGLES (2-5) AT LIONS (0-7) TV: 1 p.m.
ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Eagles by keys: Sticking to the run with RB Miles Sanders, RB Kenneth Gainwell and QB Jalen Hurts would make life easier for Hurts in what has been an inconsistent and inefficient passing game. keys: Scoring early would be huge in boosting a run game led by Jamaal Williams and Swift. 49ERS (2-4) AT BEARS (3-4) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday. Fox Tipico Sportsbook line: 49ers by keys: The onus is on the offensive line to contend with a Bears pass rush fea- turing OLBs Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn one of the best in the NFL.
keys: Run the football against a San Francisco defense giving up more than 100 rushing yards a game and protect rookie QB Justin Fields. PANTHERS (3-4) AT FALCONS (3-3) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox Tipico Sportsbook line: Falcons by keys: The real key for the Panthers will be mov- ing the ball. The best way is to expose the lack of defensive depth. Look for QB Sam Darnold to use his legs on third down.
keys: The Panthers are without star RB Christian McCaffrey, so Atlanta can focus on slowing RB Chuba Hubbard. DOLPHINS (1-6) AT BILLS (4-2) TV: 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Bills by keys: Miami must start better than it did in a Week 2 blowout loss to the Bills and play smarter too. The Dolphins had three give- aways against Buffalo. keys: They should go after turnovers.
Look for the safety pairing of Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer to help accomplish that goal. PATRIOTS (3-4) AT CHARGERS (4-2) TV: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Chargers by keys: Exploit the run defense, which is allowing 162.5 yards per game, last in the NFL. keys: Use quick passes and play-action in the passing game. After seeing how the Ravens attacked QB Justin Herbert, the Patriots are going to draw up something similar to get after him.
JAGUARS (1-5) AT SEAHAWKS (2-5) TV: 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS Tipico Sportsbook line: Seahawks by keys: They need to improve on third-down plays (31.34% conversions, lowest in the NFL). keys: A balanced offense to help take pressure off QB Geno Smith, largely falling on RB Rashaad Penny. Penny, activated ahead of Week 7, managed only 9 yards on six carries vs. the Saints.
WASHINGTON (2-5) AT BRONCOS (3-4) TV: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox Tipico Sportsbook line: Broncos by keys: Be ag- gressive in the passing game, targeting WR Terry McLaurin deep. The Broncos have allowed a deep (48 yards or more) TD pass in three of their last four games. keys: Teddy Bridgewater could have a strong day against Wash- underperforming secondary. BUCCANEERS (6-1) AT SAINTS (4-2) TV: 4:25 p.m.
ET Sunday, Fox Tipico Sportsbook line: Bucs by keys: They allow the Saints to control the pace. The Bucs may need a heavy workload for RB Leonard Fournette to do that. keys: Tampa Bay has had a rough time defending the furthest reaches of the field, and where QB Jameis Winston needs to attack early and often. COWBOYS (5-1) AT VIKINGS (3-3) TV: 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday, NBC Tipico Sportsbook line: Cowboys by keys: The offense have too much trouble picking apart the inexperienced Minnesota secondary.
Add in Dallas CB Trevon knack for cre- ating turnovers, and hard to see the Vikings running away with this. keys: Kirk Cousins is capable of moving the ball against this defense. GIANTS (2-5) AT CHIEFS (3-4) TV: 8:15 p.m. ET Monday, ESPN Tipico Sportsbook line: Chiefs by keys: K.C. QB Patrick Mahomes has been erratic in the passing game; let the likes of DL Leonard Williams and LB Azeez Ojulari make it a long day for him.
keys: The offense protect Mahomes in a loss to the Titans or get out of its own way in terms of penalties, drops and turnovers. Quarterbacks 1. Josh Allen Buf. vs. Mia.

Van Dyke completed 3 of 41 passes for th three scores and an interception as Miami defeated a ranked opponent for a second straight week.
Pickett bolstered his Heisman resume by throwing for a school-record 519 yards and four touch- downs, but he also threw his second and third interceptions of the season, both of which led to huge momentum shifts. The by Tyrique Steven- in the second quarter led to a Jay- la Knighton 1-yard touchdown run that gave the Hurricanes a 31-17 halftime lead. The second by freshman safety James Williams came with 4:07 to play and Pitt driving for a go-ahead touchdown. Pickett threw behind star wide receiver Jordan Addison and Williams made a diving grab at the Miami 4. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Hurricanes pushed the ball back to the Miami 2.
Pitt nearly Knighton for a safety but the rul Knighton advanced out of the end ne. he call stood upon review and the Hurricanes ran out the clock. Pitt remains in control of its destiny in the ACC Coastal Division but any remote shot at crashing the College Football is long gone. No. 2 Cincinnati 31, Tulane 12: Des- mond Ridder twice connected with tight end Josh Whyle for touchdowns, and Cincinnati (8-0, 4-0 American Athletic Conference) remained unbeaten with a victory over a struggling but feisty Tu- lane (1-6, 0-4) in New Orleans squad that kept the game competitive deep into the second half.

Third-string QB Kai Horton, a fresh- man, started for Tulane because backup Justin Ibieta also was hurt.
He complet- ed seven of 16 passes for 79 yards. He was intercepted twice and sacked four times. No. 8 Michigan State 37, No. 6 Michi- gan 33: Kenneth Walke rushed for 197 yards and touchdowns, helping host Michigan State (8-0, 5-0 Big Ten) top Michigan (7-1, 4-1) for a thrilling come- back win.

Wisconsin forced three turnovers, produced six sacks and limited Iowa to 24 yards rus ing on 30 carri s.

No. 16 Baylor 31, Texas 24: Baylor tight end Ben Sims had a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter before Abram Smith spun away for a 32-yard scamper to the end zone in a 31-24 win Saturday, when the host Bears (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) became the third team in a row to overcome a dou- ble-digit to beat Texas (4-4, 2-3).
Th to the sweeping Sims for a score with 12:48 left put the Bears back ahead for the time since the quarter. Texas then had a failed fake punt attempt, setting up nifty run three plays later when he took a quick pitch left, reversed after spin- ning away from a defender and ran all the way to the end zone. Texas was coming its open date, which followed consecutive losses to No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 15 Oklahoma State in which the Longhorns led by at least two touchdowns before halftime both times.
West Virginia 38, No. 22 Iowa State 31: rret Doege threw three touchdown passes, Leddie Brown ran for two scores and host West Virginia (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) upset Iowa State (5-3, 3-2). West Virginia came alive on after averaging 20 points in its four conference games. Iowa State was missing leading tack- ler Mike Rose because of an undisclosed injury and the top defense gave up a season-high 492 yards. The line- backer had started all 45 previous games in his career.
The Cyclones had kept their seven previous opponents under 350 yards. Breece Hall rushed for 167 yards, in- cluding a 70-yard TD on Iowa third play from scrimmage. But he fum- bled re ching for the end zone in a pile of pl yers for the potential tying touch- down with about 6 minutes left and West Alonzo Addae recovered. The play held up upon review.
