NFL Predictions Week 7 (Part III)
Bucs at Raiders -
The Bucs are coming off their biggest win of the season, as they put down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Some are saying that was the most impressive win of the season, but I also not convinced they could repeat that perormance. And that not because I don't believe that they are that good, but also made zero mistakes. For this team, that is a huge deal. We will see how the next several games go for them. They did add Brown to their already stackd recieving core. So they might have the best WRs group in the league, once he learns the offense.
The Raiders have been awesome some weeks and not so awesome in others. I think the Raiders are very capable of winning this game, but I also know this team isn't consistent and could also lose by 30 points. It all starts with the offense and Carr needs to be really good for them to have a legit chance. With the Bucs' legit run defense, I think the Raiders will have let him attack the air. Unless, they can get Jacobs going early and strong on the ground. However, that has been a major challenge for every team it seems vs the Bucs. The Packers had a really tough time with it, but the Packers did something I thought was interesting. They had some really explosive runs in the middle. They had multiple runs of 15 yards. Those fast linebackers can be blocked, but you can't contain them if you are going outside with a run.
Prediction - I am going with the Bucs in this one. Raiders might keep it close, but I think the Bucs have a lot of momentum right now and Brady is starting to find his footing, too!
Chiefs at Broncos -
Kansas City is still one of the league's best offenses and most underrated defenses and should easily win this game. I was little surprised that the Broncos were able to knock off the Pats, but of course it is not the same New England team that we are use to, either. The Cheifs are a lot better football team. I feel like they are almsot unstoppable when they are on it. I wouldn't say that they are as good as the past few years, but they are in the range of it. I thought this Broncos team had a chance to make a run at a wildcard spot heading into the season, but I don't believe that they are healthy enough (or will be at any point) to make a run at it. They do have the right pieces to make that happen, though. However, I am not very high on them vs the defending Super Bowl champs.
Prediction - I didn't really have much to say on this game, because honestly I don't think it will be much of a game. the Cheifs are a lot better than the Broncos are. They will end up winning big and go to 6-1.
Jags at Chargers -
The Chargers have a bright future in front of them with QB Justin Herbert! I love watching this kid and he has a real chance to be really good one day. And they do have some nice peices to work with in that offense over in the Chargers' offense. However, I think they have prblems with the defense side of the ball. They are missing some key star players and they can't put good teams away it seems. Still, some exciting stuff happening over with. I think this team could have a big turnaround over the next few seasons, if they can be healthy/develop their talent on that roster!
The Jags aren't very good and I honestly believe that they one of the league's worst roster. They are right there with the Jets in terms of bad offenses. And truthfully, this team can't do anything very well and that is the first sign of a bad football team. I think the Jags will end up with a top 5 pick once again and I doubt they will make the right choice. They need a difference maker at QB, in my opinion. If this team will ever become good again, they need a legit QB. How on earth they keep missing on that posiiton is beyond me!
Prediction - Give me the Chargers in this one! They are nothing to brag about, but they are clearly the better team here. The Jags just aren't very good and I would be shocked if they win 4 games on the season. Chargers should have this one pretty easily!
