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 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.

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 8 Reaction

New England Patriots (2-6) @ Miami Dolphins (6-2)

Nothing that shocking here. The Dolphins are a better team and they showed it. It’s still a little bitter because the Pats had chances to stay in the game and didn’t execute. Tua is now 6-0 vs Bill, which is pretty wild.

Cincinnati Bengals (4-3) @ San Francisco 49ers (5-3)

As predicted, the Bengals were fully healthy coming off a bye and played their best game of the season. Both of these teams are great and I think both will finish out the rest of the season strong.

NFL Week 8 Preview

New England Patriots (2-5) @ Miami Dolphins (5-2)

The Pats are coming off a surprising win, while the Dolphins are looking to rebound after losing to the Eagles. The Pats historically do not play well in Miami and the Dolphins are the best they have looked in years. I think the Dolphins win, the Pats cover (+9.5), and the over (47) hits.

Cincinnati Bengals (3-3) @ San Francisco 49ers (5-2)

This is the best game of the week, so I’m not sure how the NFL can justify the Bears-Chargers and Raiders-Lions games getting primetime slots over this one. Regardless, the 49ers have lost two close games they could’ve won, while dealing with injuries to key players. The Bengals have gotten healthier and started to look like themselves their past two games. They come off a bye week that came at the perfect time and are looking to get over .500. I think the refreshed Bengals win, cover (+5), and the under (43.5) hits.

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.

NFL Week 5 Preview

Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) @ Buffalo Bills (3-1) (In London)

A massive game in terms of AFC seeding. The Bills are probably the best team in the NFL right now and the Jags are starting to look more like themselves. The Jags have the huge advantage of having been in London all week and are more used to playing there than the Bills. I think the Bills win but do not cover (-5.5), and that the under (48.5) hits.

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

The Saints roster is way more talented than the Pats, but Belichick is a much better coach than Dennis Allen. Both team played awful last week, but the Pats do not have any talent right now and are banged up. The Saints win, cover (+1), and the under (39) hits.

Dallas Cowboys (3-1) @ San Francisco 49ers (4-0)

The Cowboys are back to being in America’s good graces after killing the Pats last week. That, combined with the 49ers being a better and more physical team, is going to lead to a poor showing from Dallas. The 49ers will win, cover (-3.5), and the over (45) hits.
