Kansas City Chiefs (6-2) vs Miami Dolphins (6-2)

Kansas City is coming off a disappointing loss against the Broncos last week snapping Mahomes 16-0 road record against the AFC West and the a 16 game win streak against the Broncos, the Dolphins are coming off a win against the Patriots last week. 

Patrick Mahomes got bottled up last week, the Chiefs were held out of the end zone all game last week. Mahomes passed for 240 yards with two interceptions and had one fumble, will Mahomes bounce back or will the Dolphins electric offense be too much for the Chiefs to handle. 

The Dolphins haven’t beaten a team above .500 all year this week they have the chance to do so because even with Mahomes on the other side of the ball the Dolphins offense is dynamic and could put up points in chunks. 

Score Prediction: Chiefs 21 – Dolphins 31

Baltimore Ravens (6-2) vs Seattle Seahawks (5-2)

Both teams are coming off wins in their last weeks matchups the Ravens defeated the Cardinals and the Seahawks beat the Browns in a nail biter. Lamar is an impressive 17-1 against NFC teams, but this Seahawks team is t a team you can write off as Geno isn’t afraid of being the underdogs. 

The Ravens are looking to stay hot heading into this game and will try and get Lamar going early and will try and keep the Seahawks defense on their toes. Lamar only had one touchdown and 157 yards last week while Gus Edwards was the lead back last week with three touchdowns. 

Geno passed for 254 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions last week in their win against the Browns last week. Geno will need to play a stellar game to leave Baltimore with a win. 

Score Prediction: Ravens 21 – Seahawks 24

Cleveland Browns (4-3) vs Arizona Cardinals (1-7)

Both teams are coming off losses in their last matchups a week ago. The Browns lost a close game to the Seahawks and the Cardinals lost by one score to the Ravens. This should be a bounce back game for the Browns as the Cardinals are looking ahead to next season. 

The big question for the Browns this week is who will be the quarterback as Watson is a game time decision, or will Walker get the call again this week as he passed for 248 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions last week. 

The Cardinals season is done and Kyler Murray time in the desert may be coming to an end. The Cardinals made a late push last week to keep the game interesting but fell short, then at the trade deadline, they traded quarterback Joshua Dobbs to the Vikings

Score Prediction: Browns 24 – Cardinals 6

Houston Texans (3-4) vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4)

The Texans lost off a walk off field goal and gave the Panthers their first win of the season last week. While the Bucs are coming off a loss to the Bills. C.J. Storied didn’t have a passing touchdown in last week but had a rushing touchdown in the battle of the number one and number two picks of last years draft. 

Strouds rookie season is still impressive as he’s still only thrown one interception as he goes up against another former number one pick in Baker Mayfield who is still trying to make a case that he deserves to be a starter in this league. 

Baker passed for 237 yards with two touchdowns in their loss to the Bills. Baker should be finding himself a starting position next year either with the Bucs or with a team that is need of a quarterback. 

Score Prediction: Texans 24 – Buccaneers 27

New Orleans Saints (4-4) vs Chicago Bears (2-6)

The Saints are coming off an exciting win against the Colts as the Bears are coming off a disappointing Monday night loss to the Chargers. The Bears are trying to not drown with Fields on the sideline with a hand injury. 

Derek Carr passed for 310 yards and two touchdowns in their 38-27 win last week. Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara tallied a combined four touchdowns in the win. Carr has been getting heat for yelling at his teammates and the offensive coordinator, but he put his money where is mouth is last week.

Is Chicago season and Justin Fields time in Chicago coming to an end? As Chicago is prepared to have pick one and two in the next draft should they move on from Fields and go with the two best players in college football in Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Jr. Their rookie Tyson Bagent hasn’t been bad but hasn’t showed he’s the guy in times like this.

Score Prediction: Saints 27 – Bears 13

Atlanta Falcons (4-4) vs Minnesota Vikings (4-4)

The Vikings lost quarterback Kirk Cousins to a torn Achilles last week in their win against the Packers, the Vikings are on a two game winning streak and most likely out of the chances for a top 5 pick next year, they traded for Joshua Dobbs at the deadline and will hopefully have him to ride out the rest of the season. The Falcons are coming off a loss to the Titans as they benched quarterback Desmond Ridder. 

The Falcons announced that Taylor Heinicke will be starting this week as Ridder has continued to struggled. Rookie Bijan Robinson had been on a short lease these past few weeks but rushed for 62 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries in the loss. 

The Vikings season needs to end as soon as possible, with the loss of quarterback Cousins should you rest star receiver Justin Jefferson or bring him back with the risk of another injury or re-injuring himself. The Vikings should look at the quarterbacks that will be a late top 10 pick and take a quarterback. 

Score Prediction: Falcons 20 – Vikings 13

Green Bay Packers (2-5) vs Los Angeles Rams (3-5) 

The Packers loss a divisional matchup last week to the Vikings, while the Rams got blown out by the Cowboys. The Rams are awaiting to see if Matthew Stanford will be ready to play this week or sit out. 

Jordan Love play has been up and down all season has he had 229 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the loss last week, Aaron Jones has been almost nonexistent this year and continues his poor performances as he had 29 yards on 7 carries . 

The Rams got outplayed by the Cowboys on both sides of the ball last week and look to try and bounce back against the struggling Packers. Stafford had one touchdown and one interception with 162 yards before hurting his thumb. The Rams will need him to play to try and win against the Packers this week. 

Score Prediction: Packers 17 – Rams 20

New England Patriots (2-6) vs Washington Commanders (3-5)

Both teams will be entering this week needing this win to try and keep up in their respective divisions. They both are coming off tough losses in their last matchups. The Commanders gave the Eagles all they had just to come up short last week and the Patriots got out played by the dominant offense that the Dolphins have. 

How much longer do the Patriots keep playing Mac Jones, one week he plays great and then he plays bad for two to three weeks… he passed for 161 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the loss last week.

Sam Howell continues to impress with a four touchdown game with one interception and passing for 397 yards, they lead all game until 7 minutes left in the game. The Commanders just got out dueled by MVP candidate Jalen Hurts. 

Score Prediction: Patriots 13 – Commanders 24

Carolina Panthers (1-6) vs Indianapolis Colts (3-5)

Bryce Young finally got win number one of his NFL career in an ugly game against the Texans. While the Colts are coming off a loss to the Saints. 

Bryce Young passed for 235 yards with one touchdown, as they came out victorious off a game winning field goal by Eddy Pineiro. Could this give the Panthers and Young the confidence they need to turn their season around or will they just try and go into next season with some momentum.

As the Colts season approaches the halfway mark and they no longer have rookie Anthony Richardson at quarterback this season will be a bust as the hopes of having Jonathon Taylor and Richardson in the same backfield will have to wait until next season. Garner Minshew has stepped in and played his heart out as the backup he passed for 213 yards with two touchdowns and one interception last week. They will have a slight room for error against the struggling Panthers this week. 

Score Prediction: Panthers 13 – Colts 17

Las Vegas Raiders (3-5) vs New York Giants (2-6)

The Giants are coming off an overtime nail biter loss against the Jets, as the Raiders are coming off an interesting week as they losses to the Lions, and then fired head coach Josh McDaniels. 

Daniel Jones will be back this week against the Raiders but has struggled all season and could hope to break out of his slump against an all over the place Raiders group.

A lot to unpack here… a rookie quarterback will be starting this week a new head coach and a team that can’t seem to get any kind of momentum, if the Giants needed an easy win this week they should get it as the Raiders will have to find trust in s new coach..

Score Prediction: Giants 21 – Raiders 13

Philadelphia Eagles (7-1) vs Dallas Cowboys (5-2)

Battle of the two heavy weights in the NFC. The Cowboys are coming off an easy blowout win against the Rams while the Eagles are coming off an hard fought comeback win against the Commanders. These two teams could put up points with ease but also their defenses could stand strong and it could be defensive match. 

Jalen Hurts looked like the runner up mvp candidate last week with four touchdowns with 319 passing yards last week against the Commanders. A.J. Brown is in the record books with six consecutive games with 125 plus yards in a game passing Calvin Johnson. The offensive struggles may be over as the Eagles are finding their groove at the right time of the year and will need all hands on deck for an exciting game against a tough defense and an offense that can run up the score with ease. 

The Cowboys made easy work of the Rams and Dak looked like a top quarterback in the league last week with four touchdowns and one interceptions with two of his touchdowns going to young star receiver Ceedee Lamb who had 158 yards along with his two touchdowns. The defense will have its first real test this week with receivers who have mad defensive backs look silly these past couple weeks.

Score Prediction: Eagles 24 – Cowboys 21
