NFL Predictions Week 10 (Part II) -
Jags at Packers -
The Jags are one of the worst teams in the league, in my opinion. They won that first game, then they been really bad since then. So in total, they are on a 7-game losing streak and they really don't do anything well. They don't run the ball overly well, don't really have a good passing game or a legit WR (at this point, some nice young players though) or do antyhing well on defense. I say every single week, you have to do something well to have a chance to win in this league. A few years ago, this Jacksonville team was on the upswing. But then the players on defense started to leave and the Jags failed to restock that defense. Now, you have a mess on both side of the ball.
The Packers are the opposite of the Jags and they are getting healthy. I don't think we seen the Packers play their best offensive football yet and they been a top 5 offense through week 9. I think them having back Aaron Jones, DBak, Jammal Williams and Tyler Ervin all at the same time for the first time since Week 4 is huge. The Packers can do so many things with a healthy offensive line/running back room. It will really open up the pass game, too. I have a lot of questions about this Packers defense still, but I am not worried about them vs the Jags. I don't think the Jags are capable of doing too much vs the Packers defense and that says more about the Jags than the Packers!
Prediction - It is hard for me to pick the Jags in this one and frankly I don't think it is close. The Packers have the advanatge in nearly every aspect across the board. The biggest difference being Quarterback and most team don't stand a chance when the talent gap is noticable at QB vs the Packers. Green Bay by a lot!
Bills at Cardinals -
The Bills are coming off a huge win vs the Seahawks and will look to have more success vs the NFC West! However, they are traveling to Arizona this weekend. I still love what this Buffalo team brings, though. I think this year's team isn't nearly as good as last year's defense. However, I do believe that the offense is a lot better than it was a season ago. I also believe that they are still capable of afffecting a game on defense side of the ball. But Josh Allen's improvement as a quarterback also is impressive. He is the biggest difference between the 2019 and 2020 team. Having a guy like Diggs as your top WR also doesn't hurt! I do have some concerns about their run game, though. I am not a fan of their running backs overall. They are alirght, but I am not crazy about them hoenstly.
It is hard to really judge this Cardinals team, honestly. They beat Seattle this season, but also dropped games to the Lions and Dolphins. Not throwing shade at team, but they aren't elite. And at times this Cardinals team haven't looked like a playoff contender, but they have at other times. They have talent, though. Kyler Murray will give them a great shot at winning this divison, if they take care of bussiness. I believe Murray paired with that defense is good enough to win the NFC West! I believe his style of play gives other teams in the NFC West fits and that's a problem for Seattle and LA. As for this week, I am not really sure what to expect from them vs the Bills. These are similar teams really. Both have a moblie QB, lackluster running backs, a new big additional WR1 (via trade) and defense that are good but not great. I see a lot similar things in these two teams!
Predicition - Good luck picking in this one! I have no idea who gonna win, but I am going with the Cardinals on this one. When in doubt, I try to go with the home team. But truthfully, these teams are so close that I have no confidence in that pick! This will be heck of a game!
Charagers at Dolphins -
This game is exciting and it will feature two of the more exciting young QBs in the league from this past draft! Justin Herbert has proven that he is worth every ounce of the hype and Tua Tagovailoa will be making his third career start on Sunday afternoon! He haven't proven himself as much as Herbert, but man I love this kid's potential! The Chargers are fun to watch right now with Herbert leading the team, but that defense is just awful this season. The Chargers almost have to put up 30 points per game to even have a shot at winning games. There's some games this season that they lost that they should had won, but the defense couldn't get a stop to save their lives! Sadly for the Chargers, I doubt things will any different in week 10!
Dolphins has surprised me and a lot of other people by how well they have played in 2020! Don't get me wrong, we all knew that this team stacked a crapload of draft picks for this past draft. However, if you bulid through the draft, then it typically takes a few years to be good. Esepcially with a new coach, but no they are looking real good right now! They might not win the division, but they will have a real good shot at a wildcard spot if they keep up with their winning ways. Overall, it has been just a consistent solid effort for this whole Dolphins' team!
Predicition - This will be a dog fight, but the trends say two things about these two teams! The Dolphins don't get blown out and the Chargers' defense isn't good enough to keep a lead. Which makes me believe that the Dolphins will win this game!
