NFL Predictions -
Broncos at Bills -
Drew Lock had one of his better games of the 2020 season and went 21 for 27 on 280 yards with 4 TDs. He was extremely effective and those are kind of performances that are needed from him to take this team to that next level. However, I don't think he can deliver those kind of games on a consistent basis with this team. Especially with that defense, I think Drew Lock need to be better for this team to have a shot. I think there's enough talent on that side of the ball for him to be really good, but I also don't think the right coaching staff in place. With all of that said, I still stand by what I said that Drew Lock isn't the right quarterback for the Denver Broncos of the future. He may turn out very good, but I don't believe this is the right place for him.
The Bills really came onto the spotlight last season, when they made the playoffs and opened some people eyes in the postseason. Many (including myself) thought that the Bills could be really good, if the defense stayed intact (mostly) and Josh Allen kept on improving as a QB. The Bills agreed with this and went out and got Josh Allen a #1 WR in Stefon Diggs! I thought it was a genius move by both the Vikings and Bills. The Vikings got a stud WR (Jefferson - whom I loved A LOT coming out of college) and the Bills got Diggs. And as you would expect, Diggs really took this offense to the next level. He made everyone else on this already good offense even better. I also believe that help Josh Allen become a lot better, too. He really makes this offense go when the ball is in his hands!
Prediction - I don't think the Bills defense is as good as it was a year ago, but it is good enough to hold the Broncos down. And I think the offense for the Bills has a chance to go off on Saturday vs a suspect Broncos' defense. If the Broncos want a chance, I think Drew Lock will have to be really on it! I have the Bills winning by multiple scores!
Panthers at Packers -
I think the Packers will end up with the No.1 seed in the NFC when it all said and done. However, I don't think they are the best team in the NFC or even in the top 2. Aaron Rodgers has been the best Quarterback in the league this year and I don't know if that can be debated anymore. Problem is? I think they get away from the run way too much and that defense is gonna probably lose them a game in the playoffs vs a heavier run team. However, I will say that the Packers' defense is trending the right way and getting a lot more consistent pressure vs opposing QBs. And they did a very good job of taking care of the Lions' run game in week 14. They will look to do the same in week 15 vs the Panthers!
The Panthers are a solid football team, but this is a bad matchup for them in week 15. Teddy Bridgewater does some things really well and some things not so well. And those things been his MO in his Pro career. Going back to his rookie year with the Vikings, we are seeing a lot of similar things that we see now. Even back then, I felt like his upside was extremely limited. However, I also felt he never really put his team into a bad situation because he doesn't have a lot of poor plays. And that the best thing you can say about the Panthers' offense this year. Teddy just doesn't make a lot of bad plays! Problem is? They doesn't create a lot of explosive plays in this Panthers' offense. I am not too worried about the offense, I think the defense is what will lose them this game! Why? You need to have one of two things on defense to beat Aaron Rodgers: A) A really good pass rush that will cause him to panic. Or B) A really good secondary. I don't think they have either of those things. If Rodgers can sit in the pocket all night, I think it will be a long night for that secondary!
Prediction - I think the Panthers will keep it close, but Aaron Rodgers a career year under Matt LaFleur and I think he will find more success here in week 15. I think for the Panthers to win this game, I believe their defense will likely need to force a few turnovers and get lucky on offense on some things. I have the Packers by 10 points!
