Week 14 Reaction

New England Patriots (3-10) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6)

Such an odd game as a Pats fan. On one hand I’m happy we won and beat the Steelers but also we have basically said goodbye for good to the first pick in the draft.

Our defense is absolutely amazing and it was good to see the offense do their part for once. I don’t know if Zappe is a starting QB but he’s got some juice to him.

The Steelers have to be the worst team with a winning record in the league. They have talent on their team but their offense is absolutely awful.

Buffalo Bills (7-6) at Kansas City Chiefs (8-5)

Another Bills vs Chiefs game that has a crazy finish. For the Bills, this is the type of the win that can save their season and launch them for the remainder of the year. For the Chiefs, they need to take a deep breath and relax. Mahomes should know that throwing a temper tantrum won’t get them anywhere. They should use this as motivation to finish the year the strong. They are too good of a team to let this tank their season.

Regardless of how this season plays out, the Chiefs will certainly look to trade for or draft a stud wide receiver. There is a lot of talented receivers out there and they would all love to play with Mahomes.

Week 14 Prediction

New England Patriots (2-10) at Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5)

It’s crazy to think for the past 2 decades this was a marquee matchup between 2 legendary franchises with future Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Now it is a snoozefest matchup between two of the five worst offenses in football. Even with Kenny Pickett out, the Steelers are a better team and will win, the Patriots will cover (+6), and the under (30) will hit.

Buffalo Bills (6-6) at Kansas City Chiefs (8-4)

Two of the best QBs in the league face off in a high stakes matchup. The Bills need to win if they have a shot at the AFC East title and the Chiefs need to keep pace for the AFC 1 seed. The Chiefs are great coming of a loss and should win, cover (-1.5), and the under (48.5) will hit.

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.

Midseason Top 10 QBs

Below are my top 10 QBs right now. I am not solely basing it off this year, but instead both the last couple of years plus how I think they’ll perform the rest of this year. Only active QBs are included (i.e. Aaron Rodgers was not considered).

1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

He has not looked like his usual self, but is still playing good football. I expect him to only get better and kick it into full gear by the time the playoffs start.

2. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers

Herbert has once again been great despite lackluster coaching. He will need to continue to play this way if the Chargers have a shot at making the playoffs.

3. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

Burrow was not healthy the first four games this year and it showed with just 2 TDs. The past 4 games, he has been healthy and showed why he is one of the best QBs in the league with 10 TDs.

4. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Allen is the most physically gifted QB on this list and routinely makes jaw dropping plays. His one downside is he will throw awful interceptions from time to time that make you question his judgement.

5. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

Hurts has continued to show he is one of the best QBs in the league this season. His play the past 3 games has been spectacular, as he has put up 10 total TDs in that span and should continue to play this way for the remainder of the year.

6. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens

Lamar has been playing his best football since his MVP season in 2019 and the Ravens are buzzing. If he stays healthy and the Ravens continue to win, he could win MVP again this year.

7. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars

Lawrence and the Jags have looked shaky on offense at times this year. Despite that, his talent is evident and he should improve the remainder of the year.

8. Russell Wilson, Denver Broncos

A QB always bears some responsibility when his team is not playing well, but Russ is getting way too much hate. Everyone seems to just assume the Denver roster is filled with good players – it isn’t. Russ has played well despite everything going on around him. Talk of him being the main problem there is ridiculous.

9. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins

Tua is doing a great job of getting the ball to the speedsters around him and he and the Miami offense are putting up big numbers.

10. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions

What a comeback story. Goff was cast aside by the Rams and just looked like a bridge QB for a rebuilding Lions team. Now he looks like a legitimate franchise QB again for a great Lions team.

On the Bubble:

Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys

He still needs to be carried by a great team to be effective and has not been the main reason his team is winning.

CJ Stroud, Houston Texans

I did not expect Stroud to be this good, much less this soon. He is playing great football and has led a team that had 3 wins last year to 4 wins already. If he keeps this up he, will crack the top 10 by end of year.

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.

NFL Week 9 Reaction

Miami Dolphins (6-3) @ Kansas City Chiefs (7-2)

The Chiefs win a big game that could have important implications for home field in the AFC playoffs. The Chiefs don’t always look pretty but they keep finding a way to win. The Dolphins fall to 0-3 vs teams with winning records.

Washington Commanders (4-5) @ New England Patriots (2-7)

The Commanders stay alive in the playoff race and the Pats stay alive in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes.

Sam Howell looks like a potential franchise QB. He makes mistakes, but is basically still a rookie and has a spark to him.

Dallas Cowboys (5-3) @ Philadelphia Eagles (8-1)

A very entertaining game where both teams nearly blew it. It ends with the better team winning.

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

The Bills and Bengals are in 3rd and 4th places, respectively, in their division but I still feel like they a better suited to make a playoff run then every other team in their division. The Bengals have been back to their usual selves and I think their good play continues. The Bills have struggled lately but I think will start to rattle off some wins too. They are both better than their record indicates.

NFL Week 7 Reaction

Buffalo Bills (4-3) @ New England Patriots (2-5)

Credit to Mac Jones and the Pats. They came out and played well versus a much better Bills team. And even after blowing a big lead, Mac led the team down the field in the clutch and made some huge throws. Congrats to Bill on 300.

Los Angeles Chargers (2-4) @ Kansas City Chiefs (6-1)

The first half of this game was fun to watch and looked like it would be a shootout. In the second half, the Chiefs defense stepped up and the Chiefs showed they are still the top contenders in the AFC.

The Chargers season is on the line next week as they fall to 2-4 on the year.

Miami Dolphins (5-2) @ Philadelphia Eagles (6-1)

The Eagles defense led the way to help Philly make their case as the best team in the league. Their jerseys were absolutely awesome too.

NFL Week 7 Predictions

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

As overmatched as the Pats have looked vs the Bills in recent years, this Pats team is even worse. The Bills will win, cover (-8), and the over (40) hits.

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

A big game for a Chargers team that wants to get to .500 to get on track to make the playoffs. The Chiefs may be 5-1, but have not looked like their electric self on offense and have really relied on their defense to win games. I think the Chiefs win but the Chargers cover (+5.5) and the over hits (47.5).

Miami Dolphins (5-1) @ Philadelphia Eagles (5-1)

A high profile matchup between two 5-1 teams. I think the Dolphins have looked better this year, but that the Eagles are the better team overall and will make it further in the playoffs. I think the Eagles win, cover (-3), and the under hits (51.5).

NFL Week 5 Reaction

Jacksonville Jaguars (3-2) @ Buffalo Bills (3-2) (In London)

As I predicted, the Jags took advantage of having been in London all week. Both teams were sloppy, the Jags were just less sloppy.

New Orleans Saints (3-2) @ New England Patriots (1-4)

The Saints are not that good, the Patriots are just that bad.

Dallas Cowboys (3-2) @ San Francisco 49ers (5-0)

As predicted, the Cowboys once again flopped horribly after a great showing last week. This game makes it clear that in the NFC there are the 49ers and Eagles then everybody else.

Brock Purdy gives off Tom Brady vibes. Right now, all he has to do is be a great field general just like Brady was his first couple years. He is the perfect QB for this team as he can distribute the ball like a point guard to all the weapons they have. The 49ers are loaded on both sides of the ball and look like the best team in football.
