The Bears are without Fields for yet another game this week, the Bears struggles this year continue but they are coming off a win against the Raiders. D’Onta Foreman ran for two touchdowns and 89 yards last week. They will need another big game out of him to try and keep up with the Chargers.

Indianapolis Colts (3-3) vs Cleveland Browns (3-2)

The Colts lost last week to the Jaguars 37-20 in a game where Quarterback Gardner Minshew passed for 329 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

The Browns are coming off a nail biting win against the 49ers, in a game that the Browns didn’t have Deshaun Watson as he still recovers from a shoulder injury.

The Colts ruled out rookie Quarterback Anthony Richardson for the season after needing shoulder surgery. The positive take for the season is that star running back Jonathan Taylor resigned for multiple years,  but the big issue is going to be the quarterback position for the rest of the season.

Cleveland is hoping to have Watson back this week after PJ Walker passed for 192 yards and two interceptions in the win over the 49ers. The defensive side won the Browns last game and they won’t have to worry too much about the Colts airing the ball out.

Score Prediction: Colts 10 – Browns 23

New England Patriots (1-5) vs Buffalo Bills (4-2)

The Bills are coming off an ugly win against the struggling Giants. The struggles for Mac Jones continue as they lose another close game last week to the Raiders.

Mac Jones only passed for 200 yards and one interception. As the running attack was in full effect as Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliot were able to contribute a combined two touchdowns.

Josh Allen only passed for 169 yards two touchdowns and one interception last week in a game that the Giants lost on the last play that fell incomplete.

Score Prediction: Bills 28 – Patriots 13

New York Giants (1-5) vs Washington Commanders (3-3)

The Giants’ struggles continued as they lost by five to the Bills on a last play from the one yard line that fell incomplete.

The Commanders are coming off a win against the Falcons last week in a game that Sam Howell passed for three touchdowns.

Tyrod Taylor filled in for a hurt Daniel Jones last week he passed for 200 yards but had no touchdowns. Saquon Barkley had 94 yards on 24 attempts last week as he looks to get back into groove after coming back from another injury. If a loss this weekend you would have to expect that this season will be over for the Giants.

Sam Howell had a near perfect game last week against the Falcons 151 yards and three touchdowns against the Falcons. The Commanders defense forced three interceptions last week, and should expect many opportunities to have some takeaways this week against the Giants.

Score Prediction: Giants 13 – Commanders 27

Baltimore Ravens (4-2) vs Detroit Lions (5-1)

The Lions are 5-1 for the first time since 2011. Are they a team to fear in the NFC? They are by far the front runners to win the NFC North this year after week 6.The Ravens are coming back from their game against the Titans in London.

Lamar passed for 233 yards on 30 attempts for one touchdown and one interception. The Ravens forced two turnovers last week in the win against the Titans. The offense side of the ball is slowly getting healthy in hopes to make a playoff push.

Are the Lions legit this year…? Well it sure looks like it, that trade with the Rams a few seasons ago made some people scratch their heads but statistically the trade has worked out for both teams.The Lions won last week 20-6 against Tampa Bay. Jared Goff passed for 353 yards on 44 attempts with two touchdowns. The Lions will be without David Montegomery as he is dealing with a rib injury. Amon-Ra St. Brown had 124 yards on 12 receptions last week. This group is exciting to watch this year and hard to rout against.

Score Prediction Ravens 17 – Lions 24

Chicago Bears (1-5) vs Las Vegas Raiders (3-3)

Both teams will be without their starting Quarterbacks. The Bears lost last week against the Vikings in a one possession game that caused Justin Fields to hurt his hand. The Raiders won last week against the struggling Patriots, but it cost themselves Jimmy Garrapolo that hurt his back. This game could get boring quick and the special teams and defenses will be worn out after this game.

The Bears are sending out rookie Tyson Bagent as the starting Quarterback, the Bears may need to lean on the running game this week against the Raiders. In the game last week Bagent passed for only 83 yards on 10/14 passing but with one interception and one fumble.

Brian Hoyer will be the starting Quarterback this week against the Bears. The Raiders defense could have a field day going against the rookie for the Bears. Brian Hoyer only passed for 102 yards on 6/10 passing after Jimmy Garoppolo went out with a back injury.

Score Prediction Bears 10 – Raiders 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) vs Atlanta Falcons (3-3)

Both teams are coming off losses last week, the Falcons lost a one possession game as the Bucs lost by 14 to the Lions.

Kyle Pitts finally got his name called as he got into the endzone for the first time this season. Desmond Ridder had a sloppy day as he passed for 307 yards two touchdowns and three interceptions on 28/47 passing. The Bucs defense thrives off sloppy plays from the opposing offenses so if the Falcons want to stay in this game they will need to clean it up this week.

Baker is human? The Lions held Baker to 206 yards and one interception on 19/37 passing last week in the loss to the Lions. If the Bucs want to come out with a win this week they will need Baker to make simple and easy reads no hero plays.

Score Prediction Falcons 13 – Buccaneers 17

Los Angeles Rams (3-3) Vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)

The Rams are coming off a blowout win against the Cardinals as the Steelers are coming off a bye week. The last matchup was in 2019 in a game that the Steelers won.

Matthew Stafford continues his impressive play since coming to LA in that trade with the Lions a few years back, he passed for 226 yards and one touchdown last week. Kyren Williams will be out this week after putting up 158 yards on 20 rushes with a touchdown, Cooper Kupp also accounted for 148 yards on 7 receptions.

The Steelers should be rested after coming off a bye week. In the last game they won against the Ravens. In that game George Pickens had 130 yards and one touchdown on 6 receptions. And forced 3 turnovers in the win.

Score Prediction: Rams 21 – Steelers 16

Seattle Seahawks (3-2) vs Arizona Cardinals (1-5)

Both teams are coming off losses as the Seahawks lost to the Bengals 17-13 and the Cardinals lost to the Rams 26-9. Seattle did a good job keeping Joe Burrow out of the endzone until the second half of the game last week.

Seattle is trying to stay afloat in the NFC West and need to win to keep up with the 49ers. Geno Smith passed for 326 yards on 27/41 passing but had two interceptions and zero touchdowns. Kenneth Walker had 62 yards on 19 carries and one touchdown. The offense and defense will both look to shine against the tanking Cardinals.

Arizona is just trying to get Kyler Murray back but will most likely not make a big enough impact to change the season and will still be trying to get a high draft pick in this coming draft. Josh Dobbs is trying to keep his NFL career alive and with his play this year he will find a spot as a backup next year. He passed for 235 yards on 21/41 passing with one interception.

Score Prediction: Seahawks 21 – Cardinals 9

Denver Broncos (1-5) vs Green Bay Packers (2-3)

Denver is coming off an ugly loss to the Chiefs last week, in a game that Russell Wilson struggled a lot in. Green Bay is coming off a bye week that they’re trying to recover from the loss to the Raiders in their last game played.

Will the Broncos finally give up on the Russell Wilson experiment or will they ride him out the rest of the year? Wilson only passed for 95 yards on 13/22 passing but only threw one touchdown and two interceptions. The defense came to play last week but the offense failed to show up for the whole team.

In the last game that the Packers played they would hope to forget after Jordan Love passed for 182 yards and three interceptions in the loss to the Raiders. The Packers offensive struggles will hopefully get out of their slump against a struggling Broncos group.

Score Prediction: Broncos 12 – Packers 17

Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) vs Los Angeles Chargers (2-3)

The Chiefs are coming off a sloppy win against the Broncos in last week’s matchup and as for the Chargers they are coming off a nail biting loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Mahomes and the offensive struggles continue as Mahomes only threw one touchdown and one interception along with 306 yards on 40 attempts last week. The sloppy ball control has been an issue this year and won’t be any easier against a tough defense that the Chargers have.

Justin Herbert passed for 227 yards with two touchdowns and one interceptions on 37 attempts in the loss to the Cowboys last week, you would think having Ekeler back in the lineup the Chargers would be moving the ball easily down the field as Ekeler one accounted for 62 total yards. Keenan Allen has looked amazing this year having 85 yards with one touchdown on 7 receptions, if he could stay healthy he could be the dark horse that could give the Chargers that extra push come the playoffs.

Score Prediction Chiefs 27 – Chargers 30

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.

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

The Lions are rolling into Lambeau Field for a divisional matchup against the Packers. A battle of the top two teams in the NFC North. No one saw the standings shaking up the way they are at the end of week 3 with the Vikings and Bears both 0-3, while both Green Bay and Detroit are 2-1. 

Jordan Love and company were down 17-0 entering the 4th quarter, where they went on to score 18 unanswered points. Jordan Love did all he could passing for one touchdown and one interception while rushing for one touchdown as well for a combined 298 total yards.

Detroit Lions won last week against the Falcons, were Jared Goff passed for 243 yards and a touchdown and one interception on 22/33 passing. Jahmyr Gibbs was the lead back last week for the Lions as he had 80 yards on the ground, if they can continue to involve him in the pass and run game he could have a good night against the Packers.
