NFL Predictions Week 14 (Part III) -
Jets at Seahawks -
The Jets almost won a game in 2020 and then idk what happened on that final play of the game last week. It was almost they were trying to lose and stay winless. Needless to say, they fired their DC after that. I will admit that the Jets have looked a little better over the last few weeks, so they aren't a total give me game. But this is still the Jets and they are still a very bad football team. If you look a specific stat, I am pretty sure they are dead last or next to dead last. They are legit that bad! Just don't bet on the Jets, guys. It is a really bad idea and will likely backfire on you in a bad way!
The Seahawks are coming off a rough loss to the Giants and I have more questions than answer after that loss. That defense is still bad and now I have more questions about their offensive line. Headed into week 13, I thought they were good enough to be a playoff team but not good enough to beat the Saints or Packers in the NFC. Now? I am not sure if they are good enough to beat the Rams. And yes, i know they already lost to them once this season. I think the direction that they are headed, they will likely face the winner of the NFC East in the playoffs. So maybe not winning the division is the best thing for them?
Prediction - Seahawks should bounce back this week and get the win over the Jets. I don't think I really need to get into deep details on this one!
Packers at Lions -
The Packers are having a really good season and might have the best offense in football right now. Through 13 weeks, they lead the league in points scored and touchdowns. Aaron Rodgers also lead the league in passer rating and touchdown passes. It has been fun to watch this Packers offense really rack up the points this season. There are still a lot of concerns about the Packers' defense, but they are trending in the right direction. As they are starting to get a lot more pressure on quarterbacks and that is leading to more turnovers for the secondary.
I think this is a really bad matchup for the Lions, too. I think the teams that matchups well vs the Packers are teams that can run the ball and/or run consistent create pressure on Rodgers. Bad news: The Lions can't do either of those things on a consistent basis. Even worse? They are missing their top WR and will be without their top 2 CBs. I believe the Lions will keep it close for awhile, since it is a divisional game. But at some point, I fully expect the Packers to pull away by 2 or 3 touchdowns
Prediction - It is hard for me to pick the Lions in this one because they don't really have any advantages in this game vs the Packers. All of the things that Packers do well are weaknesses for the Lions. And all of the things that the Packers don't do well aren't really strengths that the Lions can take advantage of. Give me the Packers all day in this one.
Falcons at Chargers -
Both of these teams are coming off losses, so one of them will bounce back. I am not excited about either of teams, even though they are kinda similar in regards to their issues. Both have playmakers on offenses, but neither team have really been able to translate it into good results. On defense side of the ball, they both are inconsistent and below average. I am not high on either team for rest of the year, but I would give a slight advantage to the Falcons in one, though. They are missing Julio Jones, but at least that defense has played a little better of late and Matt Ryan is a seasoned vet in this league. While, the Chargers have one of the worst defenses on a weekly basis and Justin Hebert is a rookie quarterback still. He is very fun to watch, but his team just got beat down 45-0 to the Pats in week 13. That same team got clobbered on TNF. I am not saying the Falcons are great, but hard to be confident in the Chargers right now.
Prediction - I am going with the Falcons in this one. They aren't great (as I mentioned), but they have played well enough of late that I think they are more than capable of getting the win. Plus, I am just not a believer in the Chargers at this point and time.
Washington at 49ers -
Washington shocked the world on Monday, when they knocked off the Steelers. I didn't think they had much of a shot headed into that game, but they proved me wrong. I have been saying all season that this Washington team has impressed, even i their record isn't all that great. And they keep on finding ways to stay in games and sometimes pulling out wins. And how about Alex Smith? What a feel good story he is and he has a couple wins to his credit in 2020. That's just awesome!
The 49ers have had a tough season and I think the season was a lost cause early on. However, they keep grinding it out and might get a one or two more before the season is over. I been impressed by what they have done, considering all the injuries that they have had so far. Right now, the best thing that they can do is play spoiler for the teams that are still in contention for a playoffs spot and that exactly what they will try to do here in week 14 vs Washington!
Prediction - I am going with Washington in this one and it more how well Washington has played as whole this season than it does with 49ers. However, this isn't the same 49ers team that we expected to see this season. I think Washington have enough playmakers on both side of the ball to get the win vs the 49ers here in week 14!
