Washington Commanders (3-4) vs Philadelphia Eagles (6-1)

The Eagles are coming off an exciting win against a loaded Miami Dolphins team that was running all over the league, they held them to 45 yards on the ground and held Tyreek Hill to under 100 yards. The Commanders are coming off a 14-7 divisional loss to the Giants in last week’s matchup. 

Sam Howell didn’t throw a touchdown all game against the Giants he passed for 249 yards and one interception in the loss. The Commanders will need Howell to play well to try and get revenge on the Eagles from their loss earlier in the season. 

Jalen Hurts passed for 279 yards and three total touchdowns and two turnovers in last weeks win against the Dolphins. The defense was superior against the Dolphins strong run game. A.J. Brown had 137 yards which tied him with Calvin Johnson with most 125 plus yards games in a row. 

Score Prediction: Commanders 17 – Eagles 27

 

 


Dallas Cowboys (4-2) vs Los Angeles Rams (3-4)

The Cowboys are coming off a bye week after their win against the Chargers, while the Rams are coming off a loss to the Steelers. 

In the last game we saw the Cowboys they took on and beat the Chargers 20-17, Dak Prescott passed for 272 yards and one touchdown, and Ceedee Lamb had 117 yards of receiving. 

The Rams lost to the Steelers 24-17 in a game where Matthew Stafford passed for 231 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Rams defense will have their backs against the wall with a Cowboys offense that if they get going early can run away with the game. 

Score Prediction: Cowboys 24 – Rams 17

 

 


Green Bay Packers (2-4) vs Minnesota Vikings (3-4)

The Vikings are coming off possibly their most impressive win of the season by knocking off the 49ers 22-17 in a Monday night game, the Packers lost to the Broncos last week from a game winning field goal by Wil Lutz. 

The Vikings are trying to rediscover themselves without star receiver Justin Jefferson, rookie receiver Jordan Addison has picked up the much needed performance with 123 yards and two touchdowns. Kirk Cousins passed for 378 yards with one interceptions and two touchdowns. This win might be what the Vikings needed to turn their season around. 

The Packers lost a nail biter against the Broncos, with a chance to go down and win the game Jordan Love threw his only interception of the game, he passed for 180 yards with two touchdowns.

Score Prediction: Vikings 27 – Packers 20

 

 


Tennessee Titans (2-4) vs Atlanta Falcons (4-3)

The Falcons are coming off a walk off field goal for the win against the Buccaneers, the Titans are coming off a bye week after their loss to the Ravens in London. 

The Titans continue their struggles at quarterback and haven’t had an answer for who is going to be their guy for the rest of the year. 

Desmond Ridder passed for 250 yards and fumbled three times in their loss last week. The Falcons should be able to get back into the win column this week against the Titans. 

Score Prediction: Titans 10 – Falcons 20

 

 


Indianapolis Colts (3-4) vs New Orleans Saints (3-4)

Both teams are coming off losses in both of their matchup last week. The Saints need this win to stay alive in the NFC south. 

The Colts lost last week by one to the Cleveland Browns, Gardner Minshew played an amazing game passing for 305 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. While Jonathan Taylor rushed for 75 yards and one touchdown. 

The Saints lost to Jaguars 31-24 in a game that Derek Carr passed for 301 yards and one touchdown and one interception. Having Alvin Kamara back has helped spread the offense out and keeping defenses on their toes. 

Score Prediction: Colts 13 – Saints 17 

 

 


New York Giants (2-5) vs New York Jets (3-3)

The battle of New York what was to be believed an exciting matchup this year but with Aaron Rodgers sidelined with an Achilles tendon injury and Daniel Jones struggling after signing that nice new contract this offseason this game will be a lackluster game. 

The Giants offensive struggles continue but they were able to come away with a win against the Commanders last week 14-7. 

The Jets are coming off a bye week that was well deserved after upsetting the Eagles in their last game. In a game the Eagles led all the way until 1:46 was left in the game, the Jets pulled off the upset. 

Score Prediction: Giants 13 – Jets 16

 

 


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

Both teams are coming off shocking endings to their last games the Dolphins were shutdown against the Eagles and the Patriots snuck away with a win against the Bills. 

The Dolphins will look to get back to their explosive plays on offense this week but the Patriots defense is one of the best in the league. The Dolphins will be happy to have Jalen Ramsey suit up for the first time this season after an knee injury kept him out for the first 7 games of the season. 

Mac Jones finally had a good game last week against the Bills, he passed for 272 yards and two touchdowns. The Patriots defense continues to be the rock for the team as you can rely on them to keep them in the game. They forced a fumble on Buffalo’s last possession of the game last week leading to their win, they will need the defense to be ready against an high power offense that the Dolphins have. 

Score Prediction: Dolphins 35 – Patriots 17

 

 


Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) vs Jacksonville Jaguars (5-2)

Both teams are coming off wins, the Steelers edged out the Rams and the Jaguars won against the Saints in their last outings. 

The Steelers are finally getting comfortable with Kenny Pickett at the helm leading the team and George Pickens is coming along as he had over 100 yards last game, Pickett may not have thrown a touchdown in the last game but he ran for one.

The Jaguars stand alone at the top of the AFC south and continue to dominate, Trevor Lawrence was playing with a sprained knee last week and still lead the team to a victory while passing for 204 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 59 yards. He is questionable for this weeks matchup but Lawrence is a strong quarterback, that will try and play in this game. 

Score Prediction: Steelers 24 – Jaguars 28

 

Carolina Panthers (0-6) vs Houston Texans (3-3)

Number one vs number two for the first time this year can Bryce Young get his first professional win as a starter or will CJ stroud continue his stellar play, as both teams are coming off a bye. 

Score Prediction: Panthers 13 – Texans 24 

 


Seattle Seahawks (4-2) vs Cleveland Browns (4-2) 

As both teams come off wins the Browns are going to be without Deshaun Watson yet again as he got injured in last week’s one point win over the Colts. The Seahawks defeated the ranking Cardinals last week 20-10 

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught his first touchdown of his young career and Geno continues to not write back as he passed for 219 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. 

Watson went down after 5 passes and here comes in Walker as he lead the Browns back to back wins. The Browns defense had 4 takeaways last week in their win against the Colts. They will need their defense to step up again to keep their foot on the gas in the AFC north. 

Score Prediction: Seahawks 24 – Browns 27

 

 

Arizona Cardinals (1-5) vs Baltimore Ravens (5-2)

The Ravens shushed the Lions hype train by blowing them out 38-6. The Cardinals continue their struggles while Kyler Murray is still recovering from an acl tear. 

The Cardinals season is over at this point and will need to ask themselves do they full tank and try and get Caleb Williams or ride out Murray and see if he can return to Heisman form. 

Lamar passed for 357 yards and rushed for 36 yards and had four total touchdowns in the win against the Lions last week. The Ravens should have success early and Lamar could repeat this performance this week against the Cardinals. 

Score Prediction: Cardinals 10 – Ravens 38

 

 

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

The 49ers are coming off two straight razor close losses while the Bengals are coming off a bye week after beating the Seahawks. 

Brock Purdy is human… Brock had one touchdown and two interceptions in the loss to the Vikings last week. The 49ers defense will have their hands full with the Bengals offense this weekend and will need all hands on deck to get back into the win column.  

This game means a lot to the Bengals as they’re falling in the AFC rankings and will need to get a win to stay afloat and make a push to get to the playoffs. 

Score Prediction: 49ers 24 – Bengals 27

Denver Broncos (2-5) vs Kansas City Chiefs (6-1)

The Broncos are coming off a close win against the Packers last week, as the Chiefs are coming off a win against the Chargers last week. 

The Broncos have lost 16 straight to the Chiefs and have no answer for Mahomes. The offensive and defensive struggles will let this game get ugly fast, if the Broncos can control time of possession and keep Mahomes on the sidelines they could stay in it. 

Last week Mahomes finally looked like the MVP that we’re all used to seeing as he passed for 424 yards and four touchdowns and one interception against the Chargers. Travis Kelce had 179 yards with one touchdown as he continues to prove year after year he is the best tight end in the game. 

Score Prediction: Broncos 10 – Chiefs 35

The Vikings are coming off a close win against the Bears in their first game without star receiver Justin Jefferson who is still out with a hamstring injury. While the 49ers are coming off their first loss of the season last week against the Browns. Deebo Samuel will be out for a few weeks with a shoulder injury. 

Kirk Cousin will be in constant distress this week going up against the 49ers tough defense. In last weeks win against the Bears Kirk passed for one touchdown with 181 yards and fumbled twice. Kirk will have to play a perfect game if he and the Vikings want to stay in this game. 

Brock Purdy suffered his first loss as a starter in the NFL last week in a nail biting game to the Browns, he only passed for 125 yards with one touchdown and one interception and fumbled once. If the 49ers can continue their strong defensive scheme the Vikings should struggle early on and give them the advantage to run up the score. 

Score Prediction: Vikings 17 – 49ers 38

The Eagles are coming off an heartbreaking loss to the Jets in last week’s matchup, while the Dolphins are coming off a strong win over the Panthers in their last game. 

The Eagles offense continues to try and find their groove, they just signed hall of fame receiver Julio Jones this past week to try and give them a boost. Jalen Hurts had two combined touchdowns but three interceptions last week. They will need to play clean against a good defense that the Dolphins have. 

Tua passed for 3 touchdowns and 262 yards on 31 attempts, Raheem Mostert continues his impressive play with 132 total yards and two touchdowns. Tyreek Hill had 163 yards on 7 receptions and one touchdown in the win last week. If the Dolphins can keep their offense out on the field longer this weekend they will have a better chance to win this week. 

Score Prediction: Eagles 21 – Dolphins 31

Indianapolis Colts (3-3) vs Cleveland Browns (3-2)

The Colts lost last week to the Jaguars 37-20 in a game where Quarterback Gardner Minshew passed for 329 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

The Browns are coming off a nail biting win against the 49ers, in a game that the Browns didn’t have Deshaun Watson as he still recovers from a shoulder injury.

The Colts ruled out rookie Quarterback Anthony Richardson for the season after needing shoulder surgery. The positive take for the season is that star running back Jonathan Taylor resigned for multiple years,  but the big issue is going to be the quarterback position for the rest of the season.

Cleveland is hoping to have Watson back this week after PJ Walker passed for 192 yards and two interceptions in the win over the 49ers. The defensive side won the Browns last game and they won’t have to worry too much about the Colts airing the ball out.

Score Prediction: Colts 10 – Browns 23

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

The Bills are coming off an ugly win against the struggling Giants. The struggles for Mac Jones continue as they lose another close game last week to the Raiders.

Mac Jones only passed for 200 yards and one interception. As the running attack was in full effect as Rhamondre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliot were able to contribute a combined two touchdowns.

Josh Allen only passed for 169 yards two touchdowns and one interception last week in a game that the Giants lost on the last play that fell incomplete.

Score Prediction: Bills 28 – Patriots 13

New York Giants (1-5) vs Washington Commanders (3-3)

The Giants’ struggles continued as they lost by five to the Bills on a last play from the one yard line that fell incomplete.

The Commanders are coming off a win against the Falcons last week in a game that Sam Howell passed for three touchdowns.

Tyrod Taylor filled in for a hurt Daniel Jones last week he passed for 200 yards but had no touchdowns. Saquon Barkley had 94 yards on 24 attempts last week as he looks to get back into groove after coming back from another injury. If a loss this weekend you would have to expect that this season will be over for the Giants.

Sam Howell had a near perfect game last week against the Falcons 151 yards and three touchdowns against the Falcons. The Commanders defense forced three interceptions last week, and should expect many opportunities to have some takeaways this week against the Giants.

Score Prediction: Giants 13 – Commanders 27

Baltimore Ravens (4-2) vs Detroit Lions (5-1)

The Lions are 5-1 for the first time since 2011. Are they a team to fear in the NFC? They are by far the front runners to win the NFC North this year after week 6.The Ravens are coming back from their game against the Titans in London.

Lamar passed for 233 yards on 30 attempts for one touchdown and one interception. The Ravens forced two turnovers last week in the win against the Titans. The offense side of the ball is slowly getting healthy in hopes to make a playoff push.

Are the Lions legit this year…? Well it sure looks like it, that trade with the Rams a few seasons ago made some people scratch their heads but statistically the trade has worked out for both teams.The Lions won last week 20-6 against Tampa Bay. Jared Goff passed for 353 yards on 44 attempts with two touchdowns. The Lions will be without David Montegomery as he is dealing with a rib injury. Amon-Ra St. Brown had 124 yards on 12 receptions last week. This group is exciting to watch this year and hard to rout against.

Score Prediction Ravens 17 – Lions 24

Chicago Bears (1-5) vs Las Vegas Raiders (3-3)

Both teams will be without their starting Quarterbacks. The Bears lost last week against the Vikings in a one possession game that caused Justin Fields to hurt his hand. The Raiders won last week against the struggling Patriots, but it cost themselves Jimmy Garrapolo that hurt his back. This game could get boring quick and the special teams and defenses will be worn out after this game.

The Bears are sending out rookie Tyson Bagent as the starting Quarterback, the Bears may need to lean on the running game this week against the Raiders. In the game last week Bagent passed for only 83 yards on 10/14 passing but with one interception and one fumble.

Brian Hoyer will be the starting Quarterback this week against the Bears. The Raiders defense could have a field day going against the rookie for the Bears. Brian Hoyer only passed for 102 yards on 6/10 passing after Jimmy Garoppolo went out with a back injury.

Score Prediction Bears 10 – Raiders 13

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) vs Atlanta Falcons (3-3)

Both teams are coming off losses last week, the Falcons lost a one possession game as the Bucs lost by 14 to the Lions.

Kyle Pitts finally got his name called as he got into the endzone for the first time this season. Desmond Ridder had a sloppy day as he passed for 307 yards two touchdowns and three interceptions on 28/47 passing. The Bucs defense thrives off sloppy plays from the opposing offenses so if the Falcons want to stay in this game they will need to clean it up this week.

Baker is human? The Lions held Baker to 206 yards and one interception on 19/37 passing last week in the loss to the Lions. If the Bucs want to come out with a win this week they will need Baker to make simple and easy reads no hero plays.

Score Prediction Falcons 13 – Buccaneers 17

Los Angeles Rams (3-3) Vs Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2)

The Rams are coming off a blowout win against the Cardinals as the Steelers are coming off a bye week. The last matchup was in 2019 in a game that the Steelers won.

Matthew Stafford continues his impressive play since coming to LA in that trade with the Lions a few years back, he passed for 226 yards and one touchdown last week. Kyren Williams will be out this week after putting up 158 yards on 20 rushes with a touchdown, Cooper Kupp also accounted for 148 yards on 7 receptions.

The Steelers should be rested after coming off a bye week. In the last game they won against the Ravens. In that game George Pickens had 130 yards and one touchdown on 6 receptions. And forced 3 turnovers in the win.

Score Prediction: Rams 21 – Steelers 16

Seattle Seahawks (3-2) vs Arizona Cardinals (1-5)

Both teams are coming off losses as the Seahawks lost to the Bengals 17-13 and the Cardinals lost to the Rams 26-9. Seattle did a good job keeping Joe Burrow out of the endzone until the second half of the game last week.

Seattle is trying to stay afloat in the NFC West and need to win to keep up with the 49ers. Geno Smith passed for 326 yards on 27/41 passing but had two interceptions and zero touchdowns. Kenneth Walker had 62 yards on 19 carries and one touchdown. The offense and defense will both look to shine against the tanking Cardinals.

Arizona is just trying to get Kyler Murray back but will most likely not make a big enough impact to change the season and will still be trying to get a high draft pick in this coming draft. Josh Dobbs is trying to keep his NFL career alive and with his play this year he will find a spot as a backup next year. He passed for 235 yards on 21/41 passing with one interception.

Score Prediction: Seahawks 21 – Cardinals 9

Denver Broncos (1-5) vs Green Bay Packers (2-3)

Denver is coming off an ugly loss to the Chiefs last week, in a game that Russell Wilson struggled a lot in. Green Bay is coming off a bye week that they’re trying to recover from the loss to the Raiders in their last game played.

Will the Broncos finally give up on the Russell Wilson experiment or will they ride him out the rest of the year? Wilson only passed for 95 yards on 13/22 passing but only threw one touchdown and two interceptions. The defense came to play last week but the offense failed to show up for the whole team.

In the last game that the Packers played they would hope to forget after Jordan Love passed for 182 yards and three interceptions in the loss to the Raiders. The Packers offensive struggles will hopefully get out of their slump against a struggling Broncos group.

Score Prediction: Broncos 12 – Packers 17

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

The Chiefs are coming off a sloppy win against the Broncos in last week’s matchup and as for the Chargers they are coming off a nail biting loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Mahomes and the offensive struggles continue as Mahomes only threw one touchdown and one interception along with 306 yards on 40 attempts last week. The sloppy ball control has been an issue this year and won’t be any easier against a tough defense that the Chargers have.

Justin Herbert passed for 227 yards with two touchdowns and one interceptions on 37 attempts in the loss to the Cowboys last week, you would think having Ekeler back in the lineup the Chargers would be moving the ball easily down the field as Ekeler one accounted for 62 total yards. Keenan Allen has looked amazing this year having 85 yards with one touchdown on 7 receptions, if he could stay healthy he could be the dark horse that could give the Chargers that extra push come the playoffs.

Score Prediction Chiefs 27 – Chargers 30

The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of one of the most embarrassing losses in franchise history as they let the 49ers get the best of them on national television. This is one of those games where they have to win as they’re coming in 3-2 and don’t want to drop to 3-3 on the year. Dak Prescott is going to have to play one of the best games in his career tonight against the lethal offense in the Los Angeles Chargers. Look for Dak Prescott to get CeeDee Lamb involved extremely early in this one as he showed frustration after the loss to the 49ers. The Dallas Cowboys defense has been really good as of late, but just ran into a hot 49ers team. If they can pressure Justin Herbert with him coming off of his hand injury, then it could be a tough night for the Chargers. Tony Pollard is going to have to help Dak Prescott in the backfield with his rushing and receiving because I will open up the field more for the Dallas Cowboys. Micah Parsons will have to be the best player on the defense event tonight if the Cowboys are gonna come out, victorious in LA. Dak Prescott has had some issues with his interceptions and he showed last week, but if he can get back on the right track tonight against the Chargers, it can turn the season around. This Cowboy seem to be lethal an impressive on the offensive end but they need to show a lot of consistency and that starts tonight. Look for the Cowboys to come out aggressive on both ends of the field tonight in what could be the game of the year so far.

 

The Los Angeles Chargers are getting back one of the best weapons, Austin Ekeler tonight as he hasn’t played since the first game of the season. He will bring a huge sigh relief to the offense as you’ll be able to help Justin Herbert in a big way on the ground and in the air. Austin Ekeler is one of the most elite running backs in the game and when he has the ball in space anything is possible. The other player that the Chargers will be relying on is Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen has been nothing. Short of spectacular this season and in his career. If he can get loose tonight, it will be a long night for the Cowboys secondary. I look for Justin Herbert to go to Keenan Allen very often as Josh Palmer’s banged up with a groin injury. So expect a heavy dose of Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler in the passing game tonight against Dallas. The Chargers defense will be getting back Derwin James, as he’s one of the best players, and will show that he’s the best defensive player on the field as well. This should be a game that goes back-and-forth. Both teams have great offenses and defenses as we will be in for a true slug fest tonight.

This game will come down to who wants it more and who is willing to lay it all out on the field tonight for their teammates.

New York Giants (1-4) Vs Buffalo Bills (4-1)

The New York Giants coming in today’s game without the Daniel Jones, their starting quarterback. The Giants will be playing with Tyrod Taylor at quarterback tonight against the Bills defense that is extremely tough. Look for the Giants to rely on Saquon Barkley as he’s coming back from his injury. If the Giants are gonna pull this upset off, they need a difference to play at a high-level, and they need Saquon Barkley to be as elite as he can be tonight. The Giants have enough weapons in the secondary. They just need to be able to get the ball to him and I need to utilize Darren Waller as well. The Giants will need to make sure that they limit the turnovers as the Bills will be looking to pressure Taylor who’s making his 1st start this season. If the Giants are going to win it will be on Saquon Barkley’s back tonight.

The Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen, who is arguably one of the best quarterbacks in the whole entire NFL. Josh Allen is going to carve up the Giants defense tonight and he has Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, and James Cook backing him up. With the amount of play makers that Josh Allen has at his disposal It will make it up for any team slow them down the way that they been playing all season. The bills should be able to beat them in the air and on the ground and put enough pressure on Tyrod Taylor to make them uncomfortable. This is going to be a huge game for the Giants because if they lose to go down 1-5 will be tough especially in their division. Look for Josh Allen have an MVP liked performance and put it away early so that the bills will be able to come out on top and he won’t have to play too much on the 2nd half.

Score Prediction Bills Win (35-10)
