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.

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.
