Week 13 Reaction

Los Angeles Chargers (5-7) at New England Patriots (2-10)

Another classic Pats game where the defense played well and the offense looked like they were trying to score on a field 200 yards long. Even though they got shut out, Bailey Zappe looked better than Mac has looked this year. He is more athletic and has a better arm. We know that Mac is terrible. Zappe deserves to start the rest of the year and we can see if he has value as a backup.

Outside of QB, the Pats Oline was terrible and gave the team no chance to win. Rhamondre Stevenson getting hurt is another tough blow for this depleted team. It wouldn’t be surprising if they don’t win another game this year.

The Chargers defense finally won them a game, but even so the fact they barley beat the worst team in the AFC is not a good look for Brandon Staley.

San Francisco 49ers (9-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (10-2)

A statement game for the 49ers. They completely dominated the Eagles despite gaining -6 yards in the 1st quarter. They have won 4 in a row and now have the tiebreaker over the Eagles and Cowboys for the #1 seed in the NFC. With all the talent the 49ers have on both sides of the ball, it’s not surprising they are the current Super Bowl favorite.

The Eagles should be fine. They have been winning really close games all year despite looking sloppy at times. This is the kind of wake up call they needed to resettle themselves and finish strong. A win vs the Cowboys next week would have them right on track to win the division and get the #1 seed.

Week 13 Prediction

Los Angeles Chargers (4-7) at New England Patriots (2-9)

Despite only having 2 more wins than the Pats, the Chargers are a much better team and Brandon Staley is legitimately coaching for his job. I think the Chargers win, cover (-5.5), and the over (40) hits.

San Francisco 49ers (8-3) at Philadelphia Eagles (10-1)

The rematch of last year’s NFC Championship game should be one of the best games of the year. The 49ers have been itching to play the Eagles with a healthy QB and I think their motivation leads to them winning, covering (-3), and the under (48) hitting.

Week 12 Reaction

New England Patriots (2-9) @ New York Giants (4-8)

This game went exactly how people thought it would. The Pats defense played amazing and the only reason the Giants even scored twice was due to awful turnovers. The Pats offense was terrible and it’s hard to imagine Mac starts next week or the rest of the year.

Buffalo Bills (6-6) @ Philadelphia Eagles (10-1)

This game lived up to all its hype. The Eagles continue to show they can always find a way to win. The Bills show that they can still play with anyone. Buffalo is a good team that needs to regroup and get it together for the final stretch.

Baltimore Ravens (9-3) @ Los Angeles Chargers (4-7)

I am not a big believer in the Ravens, but they continue to prove me wrong and are currently the one seed in the AFC. They have a tough remaining schedule, but the AFC is wide open right now.

Brandon Staley likely won’t be coaching the Chargers come next year. It’s inexcusable to be 4-7 with the talent this team has. The Chargers have 3 winnable games in a row. If they falter in this stretch, he may get fired before the season ends.

Week 12 Prediction

New England Patriots (2-8) @ New York Giants (3-8)

A matchup between two awful offenses that will likely be a snooze fest. While there is uncertainty at QB for the Pats, the Giants have injuries to key players and Bill thrives on punishing rookie QBs. I think the Pats win, cover (-3.5), and the under (33.5) hits.

Buffalo Bills (6-5) @ Philadelphia Eagles (9-1)

A great matchup between two star QBs. The Bills NEED this game to stay on track for the playoffs and get their mojo back. I think the Eagles win, cover (-3), and the over (48.5) hits.

Baltimore Ravens (8-3) @ Los Angeles Chargers (4-6)

On paper this should be a great game. However, the Chargers have really underwhelmed this year. I think the Ravens win, cover (-3), and the under (48.5) hits.

Week 11 Reaction

Cincinnati Bengals (5-5) @ Baltimore Ravens (8-3)

What a brutal game injury-wise for both teams, but especially the Bengals. They lose Joe Burrow for the rest of the season with a wrist injury. It always sucks to see great players get hurt, especially with Burrow who is so fun to watch and just started being himself after the calf injury he dealt with earlier this year. The Bengals fall to .500 and their season is likely over.

The Ravens got a huge win, but lose their star TE Mark Andrews for the rest of the year. He is their best weapon and this really hurts for a team who is 20th in the league in passing yards.

Philadelphia Eagles (9-1) @ Kansas City Chiefs (7-3)

The rain and bad weather helped lead to a sloppy game from both teams. For the Eagles, they continue to win games even when they don’t play well. Even without Dallas Godert and AJ Brown only having one catch, the Eagles have enough firepower to comeback from down 10 to win the game.

The Chiefs are going to be competitive every single game, but their WRs problems will continue to be a thorn in their side. Mahomes will put the ball right in these guys hands and they will drop it like MVS did on what should have been a go ahead TD with under 2 minutes in the game. The AFC is wide open and the Chiefs are the clear favorite, but WR issues could easily cost the Chiefs a close playoff game.

Week 11 Thursday Night

Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) @ Baltimore Ravens (7-3)

Unlike most Thursday night games, this is a huge game for two great teams. The Bengals need this to stay alive in the division race and the Ravens need it to keep their lead in the division. I think the Bengals win, cover (+4), and the over (46) hits.

Week 10 Reaction

Indianapolis Colts (5-5) @ New England Patriots (2-8) (In Germany)

The Mac Jones “era” may be over. Lets just hope the Pats don’t lose to the bye week.

San Francisco 49ers (6-3) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (6-3)

This was way more lopsided than anyone thought it would be. The Jags should bounce back fine though.

Week 10 Predictions

Indianapolis Colts (4-5) @ New England Patriots (2-7) (In Germany)

After getting to watch the Dolphins and Chiefs last week, German fans now get the Pats and Colts. The Colts are a better team and have more play for than the Pats right now. I think they win, cover (-2), and the under (43) hits.

San Francisco 49ers (5-3) @ Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2)

The most entertaining matchup of the week. Both are great teams coming off a bye. I think the 49ers will go on a streak starting with this game and will win, cover (-3), and the under (44.5) hits.

NFL Week 9 Prediction

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

The top two seeds in the AFC face off in a huge matchup in Germany. The Dolphins have played well this year, but are 0-2 vs teams that have winning records. The Chiefs have only lost twice in a row three times ever in Mahomes’s career and will be motivated coming off a loss to the Broncos. The Chiefs will win, cover (-1.5), and the over (50.5) hits.

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

The Commander basically announced to the world that they are giving up on the year after trading away two great players who accounted for nearly half of the team’s sacks. While their morale may be low, the Pats probably feel even worse as injuries and poor play have made this a year from hell. The Commanders are still better than the Pats and I think they win, cover (+3), and the under (40.5) hits.

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

The Cowboys Cycle continues as they demolished the Rams last week. I think the Eagles have a lot of room to improve, and that they will win, cover (-3), and the under (46) hits.

Buffalo Bills (5-3) @ Cincinnati Bengals (4-3)

The Bengals announced resoundingly that they were back last week vs the 49ers. The Bills have had a weird last 4 weeks, but are being written off more than they should. I think the Bills end up catching fire at the end of the season, but not starting this week. I think the Bengals win, cover (-2), and the over (49.5) hits.
