NFL Week 13

NFL WEEK 13

Notes: 
1. The Saints are insanely good.
2. The Cardinals and Raiders and Jaguars, oh my! They are bad.
3. The Browns have won more games this season than the last 3 seasons combined.
4. slow down, Cowboys. You're good, but not that good.
5. The inevitable Chargers/Chiefs showdown is going to be a really good one.
6. The Texans, after starting 0-3, are 8-3. 8 game win streak and one of the not so mentioned teams in the league...
7. Packers, gonna miss them playoffs...


Thursday November 29


Saints at Cowboys - look, Cowboys fans, as much as you want to believe you're going to win or be competitive tonight, the Cowboys defense is not good enough to keep up with this Saints defense. this is going to be a beatdown. Saints 41, Cowboys 20

Sunday December 2

Broncos at Bengals - What happened to the Bengals. Another great start and now, well they are just going to miss the playoffs. Broncos seem to be finding a groove, and should smack this Bengals team down. Broncos 27, Bengals 9

Cardinals at Packers  - Cardinals are terrible. I fully expect the Packers to drop a 35 spot on them. Packers 38, Cardinals 9

Colts at Jaguars - colts have quietly made a formidable comeback from a crappy start, and now they get to go to Jacksonville where a terrible Jaguars team who won't be going to the playoffs, away. Colts should gallop past them. Colts 31, Jaguars 17

Ravens at Falcons  - If Lamar Jackson plays QB, on that turf, dude is going to rack up some numbers. Ravens 34, Falcons 20

Bears at Giants  - Bears, cause the Giants are B-a-d. Bears 31, Giants 19

Bills at Dolphins  - At least thought that the Dolphins would put it together and make a push for the playoffs this year, but they have taken several steps back. The Bills, well no one assumed anything with them. They are bad. They have been for years. Time to do a complete overhaul in both cities. Dolphins 17, Bills 10

Rams at Lions  - Lions are limping into this at a time when the Rams are just dropping points on teams like a short order cook does with pancakes. So, sorry Lions, you about to get beatdown. Rams 44, Lions 13

Browns at Texans - No matter how much confidence Baker Mayfield may have, the Browns are not good enough to win this week. Texans take a step closer to winning the division. Texans 34, Browns 17

Panthers at Buccaneers - No way the Panthers catch the Saints, so the Panthers have to aim for a wildcard, but they are so inconsistent that it's tough to fathom them making the playoffs, at all. This is a trap game, they lose, they pretty much are going to be hoping for a lot of scenarios to happen for them to make the playoffs. I think the Bucs take one at home. Buccaneers 20, Panthers 19

Chiefs at Raiders -  Chiefs gonna score 50. Chiefs 52, Raiders 13

Jets at Titans  - Titans won't make the playoffs, neither will the Jets, but the Titans can possibly squeeze in if they win games they are supposed to win. such at this one. Titans 24, Jets 10

49ers at Seahawks - Seahawks should win, by a lot. Seahawks 31, 49ers 7

Vikings at Patriots  - earlier this season, I could've saw this as a potential Super Bowl game, but both teams are ho-hum. I would never count the Patriots out, but the Vikings, they seem to have lost a step from last season. Both will make the playoffs, but the Vikings aren't going to steal one on the road this week. Patriots 27, Vikings 19

Chargers at Steelers -Is this the old Chargers that can't win on the road? Not this season, but, they won't beat the Steelers at home. Steelers 30, Chargers 17

Monday December 3rd

Redskins at Eagles -  Eagles can get back to .500 with this game, and should be able to beat a lowly, without a true QB, Redskins team. Eagles 21, Redskins 13

Thursday, November 22, 2018

NFL Week 12



HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thursday 3 games!

Bears at Lions - interesting because both starting QBs might be out. But, the Bears defense is stout and gonna knock the Lions down, no matter who plays QB. Bears 27, Lions 13

Redskins at Cowboys - Alex Smith suffered a gruesome injury, and they get colt mccoy who has been good in mop up duty over the years. Cowboys have had some good wins, but still not convinced they are good to win. redskins 24, cowboys 20.

Falcons at Saints - saints gonna once again score 40. Saints 42, falcons 34

Sunday!

Jaguars at Bills - maybe the Jaguars rebound, but their season is virtually over. Won’t be a playoff run. Should be able to at least get a win. But gonna be a housecleaning in Jacksonville this winter. Jaguara  34, Bills 20

Cardinals at Chargers - Chargers gonna strike the cardinals down. Chargers 41,Cardinals 17

Steelers at broncos - top offense vs a top defense. Problem is  the broncos offense won’t be on the field long enough, and those long Steelers drives will kill the Broncos. Steelers 27, Broncos 19

Packers at Vikings - Gonna be a good duel. Neither team looks playoff bound. Thought the Vikings would capitalize on that run last year, but nope. They Jaguar’Ed it. Oh well. pack by a field goal. packers 24, Vikings 21

49ers at Buccaneers - Bucs easily. buccaneers 27, 49ers 9

Patriots at Jets - I don’t see the Jets putting up a fight. Patriots 42, Jets 13

Giants at Eagles - there’s a reason no NFC East team has won back to back division titles in 15 years. The Eagles are proving it now.  Eagles should rebound , this week. Eagles 31, Giants 24

Raiders at Ravens - easy there raiders. One win in a while doesn’t make you a good team. Ravens gonna douse your hopes. Ravens 31, Raiders 17

Seahawks at Panthers - panthers get a close home win. panthers 31, Seahawks 27

Browns at Bengals - BROWNS HAHA browns 27, Bengals 24

Dolphins at Colts - colts lookin good. Not enough to make the playoffs but they look good. Andrew Luck hasn’t been sacked in 215 snaps. So he could have a big game. Colts 34 , Dolphins 19

Monday


Titans at Texans - if the Titans win, they could run the table and take the division. Won’t happen. Texans are really good. Texans 27, Titans 20

Thursday, November 15, 2018

NFL Week 11


Thoughts from Week 10

1. Both the Chiefs and Rams are heading for one of those "Break the scoreboard" games. Neither really plays defense all that well....
2. I think that anyone should take a long hard look at the Saints. They are really good and dropping points at an alarming rate.
3. The blueprint to beat the Patriots, has been unfurled by the Titans. That was a dominant performance.
4. Just lose, Baby. (Raiders).
5. Cowboys fans (myself included) don't get your hopes up. They still are bad.
6. Ever since big mouth Jalen Ramsey proclaimed all his nonsense about other QB's, the Jaguars have been getting beat down.


Thursday 
Packers at Seahawks - You know, before the season I didn't think the Seahawks would have a losing record, that has changed. They are not good. And sure, they put up points, but when you let nearly half of your defense go, that is going to be problematic. Packers, well, they aren't much better, but I truly believe that they are better offensively and slightly better defensively than the Seahawks. Packers 34, Seahawks 17

Sunday 

Cowboys at Falcons - Cowboys have that false sense of bravado. One win, against another mediocre team, does not make you good. It makes you slightly better than mediocre. The Cowboys have a lot of issues on defense, and most likely won't be able to keep up with the Falcons offense. Falcons 27, Cowboys 14

Steelers at Jaguars -  I hope the Steelers score 40. Steelers 42, Jaguars 17
The watch Golf Instead Game
Raiders at Cardinals  - Both teams are bad. Raiders are just the worst. Cardinals 16, Raiders 9

Broncos at Chargers - You know, the Broncos aren't terrible. Their offense is wonky, but the defense is good. Chargers on the other hand, well they have their usual start good, fizzle out feel to them. This is a trap game for them. They best get to work, and pound the football, or they are going to lose. Broncos with the upset. Broncos 20, Chargers 17

Bengals at Ravens - Bengals started out good, but they  haven't shown much. Same with the Ravens. AFC North games are always tough, this one will be no different. Ravens 24, Bengals 20

Panthers at Lions  - Panthers should rebound and get a win this week. Lions are certainly in need of a rebuild. Panthers 27, Lions  10

Titans at Colts  - Titans, if they can build on last week, can destroy the Colts. Titans 34, Colts 13

Buccaneers at Giants - Start Fitzpatrick, get the offense going, throttle the Giants, who themselves are heading for a rebuild. Bucs 31, Giants 19

Texans at Redskins  - An intriguing matchup because both are division leaders. Redskins are getting it done with offense and a slightly improved defense. Another week of practice with Thomas, and the Texans offense should be good to go this week. Should be a back and forth game. Texans 24, Redskins 20

Eagles at Saints - Saints gonna continue to rack up points like its a Madden game. Saints 44, Eagles 27

Vikings at Bears -  Going against my better judgement but DA BEARS, Bears 27, Vikings 20

Monday 

Chiefs at Rams  - Chiefs and Rams are gonna be, as the kids say, lit.  The over is 64, but I'm gonna say Chiefs 34, Rams 27

NFL Week 9

Thoughts from Week 8:

1. As much as I want the Browns to succeed, that was a shitshow. They needed to clean house after basically a combined 1-31 seasons.
2. Lots of receivers traded...
3. Chiefs, if they can tighten up on defense, might be hoisting that Lombardi.
4. Jaguars, well you punched your one way ticket to being at home this offseason.
5. That Rams team, still looking good. 
6. Not many are talking about the saints, but they are quietly one of the best teams in the league.
7. NFL should reconsider this whole, give every team a primetime game. Bills. Cardinals. Raiders. Browns, suuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Quick Picks:

Raiders at 49ers: Raiders

Bears at Bills: Bears

Chiefs at Browns: Chiefs by 45

Jets at Dolphins: Dolphins

Lions at Vikings: Upset Alert----- Lions

Falcons at Redskins: Falcons

Bucs at Panthers: Another upset------Buccaneers

Steelers at Ravens: Steelers

Texans at Broncos: Texans, plus Thomas who just got traded from the Broncos to the Texans has a 3 TD game.

Chargers at Seahawks: Chargers

Rams at Saints: A third upset ----- Saints

Packers at Patriots: Packers...

Titans at Cowboys; Titans

Thursday, October 25, 2018

NFL Week 8


Thoughts about week 7:

1. The Amari Cooper trade by the Cowboys is a good one, but does nothing to really address the problem...their defense. They have guys returning from suspension, but their defense needs some quality cornerbacks/safeties.
2. Honestly, if the Chiefs can tighten some things on defense, they are going to be hoisting the Lombardi trophy. That Mahomes kid is about as good as a second year QB and beyond can be. Chiefs  are gonna get tested with the Broncos defense, but they will prevail. 
3. Jaguars, what in the hell happened to you.
4. Quietly, the Lions have evened their record.
5. It's okay to tank, Cardinals.
6. The NFC East is controlled by the Redskins, and they could run away with a weak, weak division. There is a reason no team has one the NFC East two season in a row dating back to the early 2000's. Consistency. 
7. Raiders, see number 5. You have three first rounders next year.
8. The LeVeon Bell saga continues. 
9. Giants, see 5. You also, 49ers.
10. Quietly, the Rams are 7-0. And playing great. If it's a Rams/Chiefs Super Bowl, that would be pretty cool.


Bye Week Teams: Falcons, Cowboys, Titans, Chargers

Week 7


Thursday Night!

(FOX/NFL) Dolphins at Texans -  The Dolphins are going to be without Tannehill for another week, but seemingly Brock Osweiller is playing well enough right now that they shouldn't have to worry. He gets a chance to play against his old team in Primetime. I don't think the Texans are a good team. Same record for both, but the Texans keep having some defensive lapses. Osweiller tries to do to much, and well...Texans 24, Dolphins 20

Sunday October 28th

(NFL) Eagles at Jaguars - LONDON BABY. Hey Jaguars, you are getting torched by some mediocre teams. Thought you'd turn the corner this season, but you haven't. You did not build on your AFC Championship game from last year. Instead, you have regressed. Oh, you too, Eagles. not a good team. But, something about London where teams play extremely great entertaining games. I think this one is going to be a shootout. Eagles 31, Jaguars 27

(CBS) Jets at Bears - The Bears, if their offense plays much better, can still contend for the division. Defense is keeping them above water. I think they are going to get after that Rookie QB for the Jets. Bears 27, Jets 13

(FOX) Buccaneers at Bengals - I am still not sure about the buoyant Bengals. Up one week, down another. We know the Bucs can score, the problem is can the Bengals stop them. I think this is is a nope. Bucs 20, Bengals 13

(FOX) Seahawks (3-3) at Lions (3-3) - The Seahawks and Lions are about as mediocre as their records would indicate. a Meh game. Seahawks 27, Lions 20

(CBS) Broncos at Chiefs - Best game of the day. Fully expect a defensive battle to start, and the Chiefs to have a second half onslaught. Chiefs 34, Broncos 20

(FOX) Redskins at Giants  - Sorry, Giants fans. Your team is horrible. Like, vying for first pick horrible. Redskins 30, Giants 14

(CBS) Browns at Steelers  - I want the Browns to win, or tie, since that's already happened, but I still don't think they have enough to get over the hump this week. Steelers 17, Browns 9

(CBS) Ravens at Panthers  - Panthers are 3-0 at home, and playing good at home. Road, not so much. But, they get a Ravens team who is 2-2 on the road. The Ravens defense is as good as it gets. Number one. A 15th ranked Panthers offense. I think the Ravens can shut down Cam Newton, and win a close game. Ravens 13, Panthers 10

(CBS) Colts at Raiders  - Just Tank, Baby. Colts 21, Raiders 13

(FOX) Packers at Rams - Rams are the only undefeated team. The Packers defense is suspect. Big Play prone. The Rams offense is top 5 ranked in several categories. I think the Packers are in over their head this week. Rams 27, Packers 13

(FOX) 49ers at Cardinals - Someone has to win this week. Both teams are just, worse than the other.  Cardinals 17, 49ers 9

(NBC) Saints at Vikings  - Saints are killing it on offense.Drew Brees is as good as he's ever been. Vikings finally seem to have found a groove. This is one of those "who has the ball last" type of games. we could see a scoreboard fiesta. Vikings 34, Saints 31

Monday October 29th

(ESPN) Patriots at Bills  - Bills you get your one time to shine...and catch a beatdown on Monday night. Patriots 38, Bills 10
