Chargers @ Falcons : Seattle Cleveland San Fran and Carolina are the 4 wins in the last 6 weeks for the Falcons. The Bucs and Bengals were their 2 losses in this span. Houston Cleveland and Denver were the wins for the Chargers and losses to the Jags and Chiefs were the other two games over this stretch for LA. The Chargers are coming of a bye but are still missing Mike Williams and Keenan Allen. The Falcons dont have the full power talent but they seem to have grit and should be able to grind out a win. Falcons 30-27
NFL week 9
- Thread starter dirtydaveiii
- Start date
Miami @ Chicago : The fins started out impressive beating the Pats Ravens and Bills, but then lost to the Bengels Jets and Vikings before beating the hapless Steelers and Lions. As for Chicago, Houston and New England are their only wins since their week 1 win over the 49ers. The Giants Vikings Commanders and Cowboys are the 4 losses in the last 5 for Chicago. I dont expect a blowout by any means but got to pick a hot Tua over Fields. Miami 17-13
Panthers @ Bungles : Both these teams seem to beat good teams and lose to bad ones but Cincy is the more talented team. I pick them at home against a rebuilding Panthers team. 34- 20
Packers @ Lions : This is a get right game for one of these two non playoff teams. As much as I want to pick the Lions, Rogers owns them just like the Bears. The Lions did win the last game in January but Rogers only played part of it. Green Bay won the previous 4. Packers 45 - Lions 37
Raiders @ Jags : The Jags have lost 5 in a row while the Raiders split games before and after their bye. Last weeks shut out to the Pats has to get the Raiders reeling. Raiders 23 - Jags 13
Pats @ Colts : Both these teams are wildly up and down. When in doubt go with Bill. Pats 27 Colts 23
Bills @ Jets : The Jets have taken care of business against weaker teams all year. The problem is so has Buffalo. Bills should take it but Jets make it interesting. Bills 30 Jets 27
vikings @ commanders : Minnesota has only lost to the red hot Eagles this year. Washington has won 3 straight but I dont expect that streak to continue.
Minnesota 45 Washington 23
Minnesota 45 Washington 23
Have you watched a Packers game this season? Even against a woeful Lions D I can't see Rodgers & Co. putting up 45 points.
Titans @ KC : game of the week. The Titans have owned the Chiefs going 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. The Titans are hot winning 5 in a row. The winner of this game will be the #2 team in the AFC. Im going with history on this one. Dont be shocked to see overtime. Titans 43 - Chiefs 40
Commanders have a sold front line and that will keep them close. I see much less points than that being scored. Vikings 24 Commanders 21
Interesting call. Titans may be starting the rookie Willis again. If that's the case there is no way they are putting up that many points. I do think that they can hang with the Chiefs but ultimately I think the team with the better QB prevails. I'm also calling a breakout game for Isaiah Pacheco. Chiefs 30 Titans 23
Chiefs run defense ranks amongst the best in the NFL. Titans won't be able run through them they they do most teams. The question can the Chiefs cover -11.
A few days ago it was -12.5. So the line is moving. My guess is that they cover.
Chargers are missing Williams, Allen and Palmer. That's their top 3 receivers right there. Plus Parham their back up tight end who figures prominently in their red zone packages. Fourth option receiver Guyton is gone for the year as well. Receiver DeAndre Carter is questionable. All Pro OT Rashawn Slater is out for the year. Joey Bosa Is out for the foreseeable future. Even their place kicker who was signed for their original place kicker is out.
Taking the Falcons +3
New England at home -5.5. If Taylor doesn't play I don't give the Colts a chance. Bringing a new offensive coordinator this late in the season won't help them. Patriots D will take over in the second half. It won't be pretty but that Patriot football these days.
I'm seriously taking a look at taking the Jets +13 in this one. That's a lot to cover on the road.
I
I think Palmer is set to play. But it doesn't change the outcome I'm with you on Falcons +3
