Vikings vs Saints (in London)
Saints have so many injuries with Winston, Thomas, Landry, Kamara its going to be really hard for them to put up enough points to beat the Vikings. Andy Dalton starting maybe he finds a time machine and some magic to keep them in it.
Prediction Vikings 28-10
Bills At Ravens
Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson two of the top NFL duel threat QBs. Both teams coming off tough losses want to get back to winning ways. I think the Bills find a way to limit Jackson’s running, Diggs goes for 125 and a TD but the Ravens keep it close.
Prediction Bills 30-27
Jaguars At Eagles
Trevor Lawrence has started to show us that talent he flashed in college and playing great ball, with running mate James Robinson the Jags have got off to a surprising start to the season. With all that said I think Hurts runs for over 100 yards and a TD throws for another 2 his mobility will be to much for the Jags to overcome.
Prediction Eagles 35-21
Bears At Giants
These are two of the best running teams early in the NFL season, Montgomery- Herbert tandem for the Bears and a healthy Saquon Barkley for the Giants. Both teams pound the ball and the clock and defenses hold teams to tough yards. I think Barkley out runs the tandem and get the Giants out in front.
Prediction Giants 17-10
Commanders At Cowboys
I will only say this. Dallas has Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong with 6 sacks each they are gonna be in the Washington backfield early and often. The return of Gallup will open up Lamb to have a huge game against a team that has been terrible vs the pass.
Prediction Dallas 35-18
Browns At Falcons
Patterson didn’t practice Wends or Thurs, so if he isn’t able to go that will be a huge loss for Atlanta, Kyle Pitts has a breakout game with 100 yards and 2 tds, Helping keep Atlanta close. Chubb goes for 150 on the ground with 2 more TDS, Cooper adds100 in the air they pull away late with a Chubb Td.
Prediction Browns 28-20
Jets At Steelers
Zach Wilson returns giving the Jets an energy they haven’t had in awhile, they balance the run and pass now the rookie Hall has his 1st 100 yard game, the loss of Watt has left the Steelers Defense with no identity. The Steelers offense is going to need a lot of touches by Harris to hold on and win this game.
Prediction Steelers 27-20
Seahawks At Lions
Detroit goes into this missing 2 of their key pieces in Swift and brown both already ruled out Sunday. Seattle has struggled against the run so I expect to see the Lions pound the ball behind Williams a ton giving him 150 yards and 4 TDs. Seattle offense will rely heavy on the pass but it will be Lockett not Metcalf with his remarks toward Okudah that does most the work.
Prediction Lions 35-20
Titans At Colts
Battle of the Backs. Taylor vs Henry in this case though I think its going to be more Taylor than Henry, the Indy Run Defense is holding backs to a 2.6 yards per carry and the Titan D has been shaky to say the least.
Prediction Colts 27-18
Chargers At Texans
Texans rely heavy on rookie running back Dameon Pierce and that just wont be sustainable vs the Chargers D the Defense is going to be all over Houston an the offense finally explodes.
Prediction Chargers 35-7
Cardinals At Panthers
Baker Mayfield is 31st in completion % shocking the Browns got rid of him, Carolina will pound Christian McCaffrey on his way to another 100 yards and TD, I don’t know what to make of Murray so far this season he just looks lost, But I think this is the game he breaks out with 250 through the air and 50 on the ground.
Prediction Cards 31-17
Patriots At Packers
The Patriots are gonna pound the ball and grind the clock the combination of Harris and Stevenson will come close to 150 yards on the ground. But lets be honest this is Rodgers and the Defense will get after the Pats.
Prediction Packers 24-7
Broncos At Raiders – I don’t know what to think in this game? both teams have under performed. Denver D is the deciding factor for me they have been legit both offenses have left a lot to the imagination but i think Wilson finally breaks out with multiple passing TDs
Prediction Denver 21-17
Chiefs At Buccaneers
Both teams come in angry with dropped games late last week. In games like this I lean toward the guy who’s been there done that longer. In this case its Brady who gets his big weapon Evans back this week. I think its lower scoring than most would expect.
Bucs 21-17
Rams At 49ers – I don’t believe the 49ers are going to be able to move the ball enough to win this game, it will take a monster game out of Deebo. In the end I think its a lot of Stafford to Kupp.
Prediction Rams 31-14
