NFL Predictions Week 6 (Part IV)

Rams at 49ers - 

The Rams are having a great season and should be in contention for the division until the very end, while the 49ers are 2-3 and might be looking at a top 10 pick in next spring's draft. I say that because the 49ers have maybe the league toughest scheudle over the next 6 weeks. Not many teams would fair well with it, but a banged up 49ers even less so. For me, I don't think this 49ers is good because their defense isn't the same. They lived off being the toughest defense in the league in 2019. Their strategy in 2019 was to play tough defense an give their offense shorter field. Maybe it wasn't their orginal gameplan, but it worked extremely effectively for them overall. 

This year, the 49ers just aren't great on either side of the ball. Jimmy G has fought injuries and don't seem to be the same guy to begin with. Even though, I think that ankle injury has held him back when he has played. The Rams on the other hand are looking much more like th 2018 Rams and using play-action better than any team in the league. McVay is the perfect coach for this team and Goff is the perfect QB to run this offense. They are a good combo. I think there's a lot better QBs out there, but McVay have found Jared's strengths and cartered to them. That what good coaches do!

Prediction - The 49ers should fair better than they did in last week's game vs the Dolphins. But I think the Rams are a lot smoother team right now and sould take care of bussiness!

Chiefs at Bills -

This is a really good game between two team who were actually undefeated entering week 5. Well, the Bills dropped a bad one to the Titans and the Chiefs were overpowered by the Raiders. I had both winning in week 5, so that should tell you something about my luck in last week's games. I still think these are two better teams in the entire AFC. 

Mahomes is still in my mind a top 3 QB in this league, but I also believe this Kansas City team isn't as good as it has been the last couple seasons. When you watch this team, you don't get the feeling that they are unbeatable. They are really good, but they are beatable when they aren't on their game. That what happened vs the Raiders. Same can be said about the Bills. When they are on, this is a great team. Problem is, they aren't always gonna play their best ball. And sometimes, you will lose when that happens. Two very good teams, though. 

Prediction - What a tough call this is, but I am going with the Cheifs on this one. I say the difference is the playmaker and who they have for quarterbacks. I love Josh Allen, but he isn't a MVP in this league (yet). Give me KC in this one!

Cardinals at Cowboys - 

I was gutted for Dak Prescott because he was having an amazing season and I thought the Cowboys could been really good with him, if they fixed their defense (somehow). But they have maybe the league's best backup QB and a very formiable team around Anyd Dalton. There aren't many QBs in this league that couldn't find success with Dallas, when you look at all the weapons in Dallas. 

For the Cardinals, i have been very disappointed in them. I expected this team to be good in 2020. Especially after that trade for Hopkins and another year for Murray in this system. He hasn't been bad, but I don't think he has been nearly as good as he could be. There still plenty of season left for him to turn it around, though. 

Prediction - Hard to say on this one, as I would say Dallas if Dak Prescott wasn't out. I think Dalton is a very suitable starter, but I am not sure which Dalton we are getting. I am not sure how comfortable he will be in this offense, especailly with the Cardinals having a full week to prepare for him. I still say the Cowboys, but I am not confident in this prediction, though.
