NFL Predictions Week 4 (Cont)
Eagles at 49ers
Both of these teams are pretty banged up, but I still think the 49ers are the better team overall. Even with Nick Mullen as quarterback, I think they are better than the Eagles with Carson Wentz. That tells you on my opinion of Wentz. The Eagles only saving grace is the 49ers have a crapload of injuries to their front 7 and that might keep the Eagles in this one. If I am the Eagles, I would be trying to run the ball on them and control the clock.
The 49ers are banged up, but I think Kyle Shanahan is best offensive playcaller in the game. He is a master for cratering to his teams' strength and taking advantage of his opponent's weaknesses. I hate the 49ers, but my god his playcalling and designs are next world. I would never count out this 49ers team, because they will come to play each week.
Prediction - Both teams are banged up, so I don't think either has an advatnage in that regard. I think the 49ers has better coach and that what the difference will be in this game. I think Shanahan will expose the Eagles' weaknesses better and score enough points to win. I don't expect a blowout, though.
Falcons at Packers
Both teams have some concerning injuries, but I think this will be a shootout. Even without Lazard and Adams (I expect Adams to play, though), I think LaFleaur offense is bulit to succeed without wide recievers. They don't need firepower at the wide reciever position for this offense to go. Lafleur is coming into his own in year 2 and so is his offense. I am expecitng the Packers to use a lot play designs that features running backs and tight ends getting the ball. Expect Tyler Ervin, Aaron Jones and Jammal Williams to be featured more in the pass game. And I am thinking Jace Sternberger will also see an increased role, as he caught his first three passes of the season in last week's game.
I really like the Falcons in this game, but at the same time I really don't. The Falcons are by far the best offense that this young Packers' defense has faced all year. And this Falcons' offense has pretty much gone off vs every team they have played. So has opposing offenses vs this bad Falcons' defense. I think both of these defenses are bad. However, the difference might be that the Packers have a pretty good secondary and a pass rush that hasn't lived up to their capablities.
Prediction - This could be a close game, but I don't think the Falcons can stop this Packers' offense. The Packers are No.1 in points per game and No.2 in yards per game. And this Green Bay team doesn't turn over the ball, so Falcons may have to be perfect on Monday night. At the same time, I don't believe the Packers can stop the Falcons from driving down the field each drive. It will be fun, but Packers will pull away late for the win!
