NFL Predictions -
Packers at Colts -
This is a really good team between two playoffs team in different conferences. The Colts are coming off a big-time win vs the Titans! Their defense has been the strength of this team in 2020 and Rivers don't gotta be perfect, either. I say their lack of a consistent run game is their biggest weakness. But I think they will be fine, long as they can keep Rivers upright and not turn the ball over. I think the Colts are the favorites headed into this game, honestly. The Packers have struggled vs these kind of teams over the last few years. Teams will great defensive front sevens and good offensive lines. Teams that can get to Rodgers are the ones who will have the best chance to beat him. If you pressure him, I always believe one of two teams happens: A) He will light you up. Or B) He will a very poor game all-around and probably commit some turnovers.
The Packers are getting healthy at the right time, as they will have Jones, Adams and Lazard on the field for the first time together since week 2. They are also expected to get their CB room completely healthy for the first time this season since week 4. But this will be a tall task against the Colts. They have advantages that are disadvantages for the Packers. They have a great defensive line, fast linebackers and a solid secondary. These kind of defenses give Rodgers fits. And the Packers' defense play it best when they can get to the quarterback and Pettine doesn't like to blitz with everyone and Colts only given up 7 sacks on the year. So the defense most likely won't get home that often, either.
Prediction - I am a Packers fan so I want to pick the Packers, but I think this game has the Colts' name all over it!
Chiefs at Raiders -
The last time the Chiefs and Raiders played, Las Vegas was able to pull off the big upset. But this time, I think things could be different. I believe the Raiders' defense is already at a disadvantage to start with. As most of their starting defense haven't been able to practice all week long due to being on the Covid list. To top that off, they have to face Patrick Mahomes. Facing this guy is tough on a full-week of practice, let alone none or very limited. The Raiders offense will probably have to pick up the slack and try to go head to head with the Chiefs' offense again!
The Chiefs have played great this season and really only had one bad game in 2020 vs the Raiders, otherwise things has been pretty smooth for this Kansas City team. I wouldn't say they been dominant as they were at times in 2019, but I certainly think they are capable of making another deep playoffs' run. Hard to bet against them right now!
Prediction - It would be nice to see the Raiders get the season sweep of the Chiefs, but I think Kansas City will take this one. Too much going against the Raiders in this one and personally think a lot would have to go their way again. Andy Reid rarely loses twice in the same year to the same team, either.
Rams at Bucs -
Maybe the best game of week 11? Hard to say if it will be, but these last few games on the schedule are gonna be so freaking good. This might be my personal favorite one. Both these teams are current Wildcard holders. The Rams would move back into first place in the West with a win, though. The Bucs will need some help by the Saints, though. They need the Saints to lose to re-grab the South's division lead. So yes a lot of things need to be decide between now and end of the season.
The Rams have been fun to watch for the most part and have a really solid offense. They run the ball more than anything, but Jared Goff has been effective when McVay needs him to step back and take control of the game. I personally think that defense have had a big say on how good this Rams' team has been in 2020 so far. Last year, I thought the defense was part of the reason why the Rams ended up missing the playoffs. Funny how that works, right?
The Bucs have been all over the place this season and they really haven't been consistent about what kind team they are. They been unstoppable, they have been mistake prong and they have been simply bad. Talent wise, I am not sure if there is any team that has more talent than the Bucs. But I also believe this team can't be trusted to deliver because all the mistakes they make sometimes. Defensively, they will make the Rams throw the football. I think they will what they did vs Green Bay. Stop the run and make the QB beat them through the air. That's their strength because then they can get after the quarterback with their pass rushers,etc.
Prediction - I am going with the Bucs in this one and hoping that I am right because I really could see it going either one, honestly.
