NFL Predictions -
Raiders at Falcons -
The Falcons had a shot last week vs the Saints, but really couldn't do much vs the Saints. And in the second half, the Saints finally pulled away and it ended up being a blowout instead. This week, things are much worse as they will be without star Wr Julio Jones! I don't think they have won a game all year (maybe 1 at best), when Julio wasn't in the lineup. Needless to say, it will be challenge for this Falcons' offense to put up big numbers vs a solid Raiders' team.
The Raiders don't get enough credit on how well they have played this season. They almost had Kansas City on SNF in week 11, but Pat Mahomes is still Pat Mahomes and he drove down the field on the game-winning drive. Still the Raiders are having a great season and Derek Carr is having a great season! He is the biggest reason that they are in a playoff position right now. That defense hasn't been great, but they don't get enough credit. They have stepped up time and time after this season to help Derek Carr and this offense. I think they will be enough vs the Falcons in week 12!
Prediction - No Julio Jones means I don't think the Falcons have a shot in this one. This offense goes when Julio Jones goes. I think Calvin Ridley is a very good WR, but he is not a No.1 WR in this league (at this time) and when Julio is out of the equation, I think we all see what happens to him. Give me the Raiders in this one!
Saints at Broncos -
The Broncos are in serious trouble at the QB position, as they will be without all of their quarterbacks this weekend. Instead, they will be using an RB and WR as their QBs vs the Saints. And on other side of the ball, the Saints will once again be without Drew Brees. Tough go for both teams, as they both will be using backups at the most important position. The difference is the Saints have good backups for this game and a much better overall roster. I don't think the Broncos are even close in terms of overall talent. Even if the Broncos had their starting QB (Drew Lock), I felt like the Saints would still win pretty easily! Headed into the weekend, I was heavily leaning towards the Saints in this one!
Prediction - As you can see up above, I have zero faith in the Broncos to pull this one off! I think the Saints will run away with this one and in the end it probably won't be that close!
49ers at Rams -
The 49ers have been hit hard by injuries and now they will have to face another tough matchup vs the Rams. The 49ers' season was over a long time ago, I don't see the point of them wanting to see games. But I do understand that all of these guys are competitors and want to win! With that said, I don't think it will matters much. I think the Rams are the far better team here on both side of the ball and they are very healthy! I think that is the biggest difference in this one, too. If the 49ers are mostly healthy at key positions, then I think this would be a great game. But the Rams are playing very well this season and have good shot as anyone to win the NFC this season! Two years ago, they did just that and made it to the SuperBowl!
Prediction - 49ers are still too beat up and the Rams should run away with this game! Not because the 49ers are so banged up, but because the Rams are that much better than the 49ers right now. I think the 49ers' schedule also has taken a toll on them. They have been playing playoff team after playoff team lately. And the results have been just about every single week. I expect week 12 to be the same!
