NFL Predictions -
Rams at Cardinals -
This is a really important game and one that will determine a lot in the NFC playoffs' picture! The loser of this game has a real chance of falling out of the NFC wildcard picture, especially if the loser in the Cardinals. I think the Rams still have a shot in the NFC West, if they win but they will likely need to win rest of the games. As for the Cardinals, I think they are playing for a wildcard spot at this point. I think they need to be worried about the teams on the outside looking in than worrying about what seed they are. The Rams are a solid squad on both side of the ball and field one of the league's most underrated offenses and one of the league's best defenses. I think this team staying healthy has been huge this season and Jared Goff looks a lot better than he did in 2019. I am sure that is another reason for the Rams playing better, but they could easily miss the postseason again, though.
I am worried about the direction that the Cardinals are headed in right now. They are fading down the stench and could easily be on the outside looking in by next week. If they lose and the Vikings win (very likely), then they are no longer the final wildcard team. They will have a shot to get back in as the Vikings have some tough games coming up, but overall the Cardinals been very inconsistent this season. Their run game has been lackluster and their defense has been up and down. But Kyler Murray is a star in the making and really will be the guy that makes or breaks this team!
Prediction - It is hard to say which team comes out on top, but I say the Rams win this game. Mainly because I simply think there are too many questions with Arizona team and I think the Rams are much more complete in most aspects. They won't win by a lot but I do believe the Rams will pull it off, though.
Pats at Chargers -
This is interesting matchup between the Pats and Chargers. Both have been bad on defense in 2020, but the Pats still have a great coaching staff and the Chargers have a fun young playmaker at QB. With all of that said, both teams will miss the playoffs and there are obvious holes on both teams right now. I think the Chargers are good enough on offense to beat anyone, but their defense will likely lose them more than they will win. As for the Pats, they are still trying to figure out who they are. They clearly aren't the same old Pats, as Newton has had a tough time in 2020 in this new offense. And the Pats have had a tough time getting use to his style of play. As you would expect, there would be some growing pains. But this team have grit and they refuse to go away in the AFC playoffs picture. Realistically, I give them no shot at sneaking into the postseason, though.
Prediction - I think this is a close game, but I think the Chargers are good enough on offense to sneak out a win, though.
Eagles at Packers -
I want to believe this will be a blow out by the Packers, but I don't think it will be. I am a huge Packers' fan, but I pick against them if I think there is a legit shot that they will lose. Much like last week, I don't get that feeling from them. I really don't think the Eagles can win this game. I think the Eagles will be able to stop the run, but they won't slow down Aaron Rodgers. On the flip side, I don't believe the Eagles will put together enough offense to get the job done. The Packers' defense is average at best, but I think Wentz will make enough mistakes for them to lose this game. I also believe they will use a similar gameplan as of week 4 of last season, when they pull off that huge upset. That gameplan? Run the ball down their throats and have Wentz just throw enough to keep them honest. It got the job done!
Prediction - I just don't see the Eagles doing enough in this game to beat the Packers. And that's no shot at the Eagles because I think there are only a few teams in this league that can matchup the Packers' firepower on offense this season.
Broncos at Chiefs -
Kansas City is having a great season and could realistically go 15-1 and still not have the No.1 seed in the AFC playoffs! And to top it off would still have to play on wildcard weekend! That is so crazy! As for this weekend game, I think they will probably win by 3 or 4 touchdowns! I am not very high on the Broncos and I have stated that on a weekly basis pretty much all season. They haven't really done anything for me to be high on them. Drew Lock isn't the answer and I am a big believer in that. I think the Broncos need to move on from him and look in the draft for his replacement. I think there's enough talent on this roster for the Broncos to at least be a contender for a wildcard spot. Yet, here they are near bottom of the AFC. This is a really easy game for everybody to pick!
Prediction - Chiefs all day in this one! The Broncos aren't in their zipcode and it will show on Sunday night!
