Kansas City Chiefs vs New York Jets 

Mahomes and company travel to New York to take on the Jets, the Chiefs are coming off a blowout win against the Bears last week while the Jets are coming off a loss to the Patriots 

The Jets last week played a rough game that resulted in a loss, Zach Wilson only had 157 yards on 36 pass attempts, the run game couldn’t get going for the Jets last week either, this game will get ugly very quick. 

Mahomes could put this game away very early if they don’t play down to the competition. Mahomes had 272 yards three touchdowns last week in the win against the Bears. Travis Kelce has been making “Swift” work trying to catchup on his stats since missing week one. 

Score Prediction: Jets 10 – Chiefs 38

Jacksonville Jaguars vs Atlanta Falcons

The international series kicks off Sunday at 8:30 AM with the Jaguars taken on the Falcons in Wembley stadium. The Jaguars are coming off an upset loss to the Houston Texans last week. As for the Falcons they’re coming off a loss to the Lions.

Trevor Lawrence and company will need to get the fence rolling early has Trevor Lawrence passed for 279 yards one touchdown in one interception in last weeks loss. The Jaguars will really need to limit turnovers as the Falcons secondary will tempt them into a bad passes that could lead to turnovers.

Atlanta’s lost last week had no bright moments in it as the only points that they had came off to field goals quarterback, Desmond Ridder, passed for 201 yards on 38 attempts and rookie running back. Bijan Robinson only ran for 33 yards on 10 carries as the run game was not effective. Look for the Falcons to get the run game going early on Sunday morning and control the time of possession to help in favor of them winning the game.  

Score Prediction: Jaguars 28 – Falcons 24


Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders 

Last week the Eagles went into Tampa Bay and won 25-11 and another game dominated by rushing the ball. The commanders lost in a blowout to the Buffalo Bills, 37-3.

As Jalen Hurts, looks to try to get the air raid going this week in Philadelphia, the rush game will still be super effective. Hurt did have multiple turnovers in. He was accountable for 305 total yards D’Andre Swift continues a career year by rushing for another game over 100 yards.

The Commanders will look to try to stop a hot Philadelphia Eagles team, as there is not much of a bright side from last weeks game.

Score prediction: Eagles 27 – Commanders 13


Buffalo Bills vs Miami Dolphins

Miami’s coming off a game they scored 70 points against the Denver Broncos as for the Bills are coming off a blow out win against the Washington Commanders.

Josh Allen only threw for 218 yards in the win against Washington, he had two total touchdowns in one interception. The Bills defense will have their first real test against a high score in Miami offense.

Miami won over Denver 70-20 last week in a game where Tua Tagovailoa, threw for 309 yards and four touchdowns. Raheem Mostert had three touchdowns, and 82 yards on the ground, and De’Von Achane had 203 yards and two touchdowns.

Score prediction: Bills 34 – Dolphins 38


Chicago Bears vs Denver Broncos

A game that ultimately could end in a draw as for the way these two teams season has started. Denver’s blowout lost was a field goal away from allowing the most points of all time. As the Bears were beaten by the Chiefs last week 41-10

Chicago had high hopes in Justin Fields but he hasn’t lived up to the hype this year. He had only 99 yards last week and one touchdown and one interception. Justin Fields will need to trust his team this week as they could get their first win of the season. 

Denver is still trying to find a way to get Sean Payton’s first win as the coach of the Broncos. Last weeks loss was an ugly one as they allowed the most total yards in a game last week a total of 726 yards. The team needs to come together and try to leave Chicago with a win.

Score Prediction: Bears 13 – Broncos 17


Cleveland Browns vs Baltimore Ravens 

The Ravens are coming off a tough loss to the Colts by losing in overtime and the Browns are coming off a dominating win against the Titans. 

In what may have been Deshaun Watsons first game back from all the off field drama, he passed for 289 yards and two touchdowns, as the Browns are having to rediscover themselves after losing Nick Chubb for the season. 

Lamar Jackson combined for 303 total yards and ran for two touchdowns and had one fumble that was recovered by the Colts. 

Score Prediction: Browns 21 – Ravens 24


Houston Texans vs Pittsburgh Steelers

The Texans are coming off an upset win against the Jaguars last week, Stoud and Tank Dell chemistry is booming right now as those two cannot be stopped, the Steelers are coming off a win against the Raiders in a game that the defense was the star of the game 

C.J. Stroud passed for two touchdowns and 280 yards on 20/30 passing last week, and Tank Dell had 5 receptions for 145 yards and one touchdown as they becoming a dynamic duo. 

The Steelers defense forced three interceptions last week, Kenny Pickett passed for two touchdowns and 235 yards on 16/28 passing last week, they will need him to play another game like last week to leave Houston with a win.

Score Prediction: Texans 24 – Steelers 20


Carolina Panthers vs Minnesota Vikings 

The second matchup of two teams that are winless on this season. The Vikings are coming off a heartbreaker loss to the Chargers last week while the Panthers are coming off a loss in a game that the number one pick Bryce Young didn’t play in.

Bryce Young will be back this week after missing last weeks game with an ankle injury. The Panthers are still trying to get the number one pick into a groove so he can develop. This game could give him the push he needs to help his development.

Kirk had an almost perfect game until he threw an interception in the last 15 seconds of the game. He 367 yards and three touchdowns. Justin Jefferson continues to show why he is WR1 across the league with 149 yards and one touchdown in 7 receptions. 

Score Prediction: Panthers 16 – Vikings 27


Indianapolis Colts vs Los Angeles Rams 

The Rams lost last week in a Super Bowl matchup from two years ago to the Bengals. The Colts are coming off a thriller win in overtime against the Ravens.

Anthony Richardson is back after missing last weeks matchup with a concussion. Gardener Minshew did just enough to leave Baltimore with a win. He passed for one touchdown and 227 yards on 27/44 passing 

Matthew Stafford threw for 269 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the loss last week, Cooper Kupp’s return should be any week now and his presence is needed to try and compete in the NFC North. 

Score Prediction: Colts 20 – Rams 17

 

New Orleans Saints vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Both teams are coming off a loss from last weekend, the Saints blew a 17 point lead against the Packers last week. Baker came back down to earth last week in the loss to the Eagles. 

Going into the fourth quarter the Saints were up 17-0 and after Derek Carr went out with a shoulder injury Jordan love lead to come back. This week the Saints add back star running back Alvin Kamara, so I expect him to be a huge focal point of the offense.

Baker played a typical Baker style game by only passing for 146 yards one touchdown one interception on 15/25 passing. Tukey matchups to watch for would be Mike Evans vs Marshon Lattimore.

Score Prediction: Saints 17 – Buccaneers 21


Cincinnati Bengals vs Tennessee Titans 

Cincinnati’s coming off a win against the Los Angeles Rams or the Tennessee Titans are coming off a blowout loss to the Cleveland Browns 

As Joe Burrow continues play through a calf injury his numbers aren’t looking good to start the season he passed for 259 yards in one interception in last weeks win against the Rams.

Not much to talk about in the Tennessee lost to the Browns as Ryan Tannehill only passed for 104 yards on 25 attempts. When will the Titans make the quarterback switch that has been needed for multiple years. 

Score Prediction: Bengals 27 – Titans 13

 

Los Angeles Chargers vs Las Vegas Raiders 

A divisional matchup out of the AFC west. The Chargers are coming off. A thriller win against the Vikings as the Raiders are coming off a disappointing, lost to the Steelers, and again that lost them their starting quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo.

Justin Herbert had a huge day last week against the Vikings passing for 405 yards on 47 attempts with three touchdowns in zero interceptions. The receivers really had a field day last week as Keenan Allen had 215 yards on 18 receptions and Mike Williams who left the game with a torn ACL later reported had 121 yards with seven receptions. The Chargers are still in the waiting game with Austin Ekeler and when he will return.

The Raiders will be sending a back up into this matchup is Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the week, reports also came out on Saturday that they are releasing star defensive, and Chandler Jones, who was reported arrested on Friday for violating a restraining order. The defense really need to step up to try to keep in this game. If not, this game could get out of hand quickly 

Score Prediction: Chargers 31 – Raiders 10


Dallas Cowboys vs New England Patriots 

Dallas is coming off a disappointing loss of the Arizona Cardinals who upset them last week, and the patriots are coming off a lackluster win against the New York Jets. 

Tech Prescott threw for 249 yards one touchdown one reception on 40 attempts Tony Pollard Rush for 122 yards on 23 attempts Dallas this week played down to their competition but don’t expect that this week as they should work to get out to a hot start against the Patriots 

The Patriots defense will have to be strong and hold down as the offensive struggles. and if the patriots defense can lock down the run and their secondary can keep the receivers in front of them they have a good chance of upsetting Dallas as well this week. If not, this game could get out of hand very early on.

Score Prediction: Cowboys 27 – Patriots 17


San Francisco 49ers vs Arizona Cardinals 

The Cardinals are coming off an upset win against the Cowboys, as you could see missing Trevon diggs was a huge blow for the Cowboys does Arizona was able to attack the deep ball, San Francisco continues, are hot play as they blew out the Giants.

Brock Purdy continues to play stellar as he had two touchdowns 310 yards on 37 attempts Christian McCaffrey accounted for 119 total yards in one touchdown in last weeks win against the Giants. 

Arizona is still playing the waiting game on win and if Kylie will make a return this year, Phil in quarterback, Joshua Dobbs had a near perfect game last week against the Cowboys as he threw for 189 yards one touchdown on 21 attempts the ground game was working all game as they ran for 222 yards in two total touchdowns in the game against the Cowboys, Arizona will have to score to keep up with the 49ers, they will need to have chunk plays not slow place has the 49ers have one of the best if not the best defense in the league.

Score Prediction: 49ers 38 – Cardinals 20
