NFL Predictions -
Eagles vs Browns -
Eagles and this whole NFC East is a mess right now! Man, I didn't think they would lose to the Giants. But turns out, it still anybody's division at this point in the season. Which is sad, which the Eagles are leading with only 3 wins after 11 weeks. The Eagles are healthier than they been all season, so I expected them to take care of business in last week's game vs New York. Did they? Nope! Now, they will have to face a good Cleveland Browns' team. I think the Browns are little overrated still, but they are very capable of winning here in week 11 vs the Eagles. What the Browns do so well is run the football. They do this better than most teams in this league. But they need to get the lead in the first half, because otherwise they will have to throw themselves back into it. I am not saying that Baker Mayfield can't, but I think this team is a lot better when they can run the ball and force their will on defenses. If they get a 3rd and long, then sure they will pass the ball. But once they get a lead, this team is freaking dangerous and hard to stop. Because they just drain the clock and really take over the game.
Prediction - I don't trust the Eagles, so I am going with the Browns in this one. They are simply just the better team here and seem to have an idea on what they are doing!
Falcons vs Saints -
The Falcons are entering this game will a lot on their shoulders. They have one of the better offenses in this league, but have lost several games this season because of their horrible defense. They have put together a few wins in their recent games. So maybe they are on the turn around? Maybe and No Drew Brees for the Saints will certainly help them out a lot. In fact, Hill will be making his first career start in today's game. So that could be really good or really bad for the Falcons.
The Saints need to keep winning in order to stay atop of the NFC South. The early reports are the Saints could get Brees back, after like week 14 or something. Which is incredible, considering that he have like 11 cracked ribs or something like that. Can the Saints survive without him? I think they are good enough, where yes they will likely be alright without him. Sean Peyton is no idiot, this isn't the first time that they been without him. They were great last season without Brees and they are hoping that this year team will respond the same way without their star QB!
Prediction - I want to say the Falcons will win this game because they certainly have all the tools to do so. But I don't know, Saints will be tough even with no Brees. All of the pieces are still there and I don't believe they are that much worse without Brees. And that is no disrespect towards Brees, either. In fact, it is respect for the team that is built around him and the Saints! I am going with the Saints in this one, but I don't feel great about it, though.
Bengals vs Washington -
I have been impressed by Joe Burrow, but he has ways to go in this league before he ''officially'' arrives in the league. He's in the league, but he is learning still, though. I love his talent and what could happen down the road for him and the Bengals. But he has gotten manhandled since against the Steelers now. And it no shame in that because they can do that to most teams out there, honestly. Joe just needs to keep his head high and keep doing his thing. They will be without their star running back in this one, though. As Joe Mixon has been placed IR. Not ideal for this Bengals team!
I picked Washington last week, but they came up short. I was impressed with them overall, though. They only lost by 3 to an underrated Lions team and Alex Smith played great overall. I was impressed by him, that is such a feel good story. The fact he can walk, let alone play is truly incredible! I think this Washington team has more talent than most people give them credit for! They have some really awesome young talent on this team and just need to keep adding talent and developing that said talent. If they can do that, then this team has a chance to be really good overall. They have been better than I thought they would be and aren't out of the division's race yet, either.
Prediction - Give me Bengals in this one. Joe Burrow have a big-time game is my feeling and Bengals bounce back in a big way!
