NFL Predictions Week 5 (Part III)

 Welcome to Timerssports

NFL Predictions (Cont)

Dolphins at 49ers 

I know a lot of people think this is an easy win for the 49ers, but I don't think it is! Ask the Seahawks how easy it was to beat the Dolphins. The Seahawks never really put the Dolphins away until late in the second half. And I don't think this is the same 49ers team from a year ago. What made that team so special was a domianting pass rush that is much less scary after several losses to it defensive front. They can still score in many ways on offense, though. It is crazy how much talent that 49ers offense has. the 49ers front office has done a great job of getting Jimmy G all the help that needs and then more! 

Like I said, I think the Dolphins are far better than anyone give them credit for. Each and every week, they are in ball games. If Fitzpatrick don't turn over the ball, I think they can be in this game. I wouldn't say that I think they can win, though. I think that require a lot out of this Dolphins team and the offensive talent gap is concerning. I feel like that will be the problem for them. The 49ers are getting heatlhy and the talent gap will likely be too much for them to overcome in this game! 

Prediction - Dolphins put up a good fight, but in the end the 49ers pull away and get back to their winning ways. This is no give-me for the 49ers as this team try to get healthier for a brutal upcoming schedule! 49ers by 10 points on Sunday afternoon!

Gaints at Cowboys 

The Cowboys haven't lived up to the hype so far in 2020, but have a chance to retake the division lead with a win and a Eagles loss to the Steelers. I think they should easily win this game vs the underperforming Gaints. I think Daniel Jones is a solid young QB, but he has no supporting cast to work with. There are alright players in New York, but there is no superstar at the WR or TE position. As a quarterback, you need that kind of player to take your game to the next level, in my opinion. 

Cowboys have been horrible on defense this season, so the offense pretty much been carrying them all season. Dak Prescott has been awesome and would be an MVP candidate, if he wasn't throwing 50 passes a game because he is trailing by 50 points each week by halftime. The Cowboys offense has crazy upside, but they shouldn't need to go off every week for the Cowboys just to be in these game with 2 minutes left. 

Prediction- Cowboys beat up a not very good Gaints team. I think Cowboys give up a lot of points and yards again, but I don't believe the Gaints can stop the Cowboys' offense and that is a problem for me! 

Colts and Browns 

The Browns broke out in a big way in last Sunday's win vs the Cowboys and I really underestimate them overall. It was the Cowboys, though. Still, they put up nearly 50 points, which is now the highest total scored in a single game this season. The Browns are really good at running the ball and that what they need to keep doing. Run the ball and that will help set up the pass. Good things happen when you use your strengths to your advantage. And they know what kind of football team that they are and for me that is huge because those are the teams that will likely find the most success. 

The Colts, on the other hand have a great defense. Through 4 weeks, they are regarded in most stats as the league's best defense and it been crazy to watch this unit take apart the opposing offenses. However, the Colts' offense hasn't been very good with Rivers this season. They run the ball better than they can pass it. I think some of that is because they really don't have a lot of weapons on offense to move the ball. I think part of it because the decline of Philip Rivers. He is not the same quarterback that he once was, but I think he will get better as the season goes on, too. 

Prediction - Browns put up a good fight, but Colts defense leads the way and help shutdown the Cleveland Browns. I think the Colts will put together enough offense to get them another win, as they move to 4-1 on the season!
