NFL Predictions -
Giants at Ravens -
The Giants were in the driver seat a few weeks ago, but things have gone south for the Giants in the NFC East. They are certainly still in the race for the division, but I think they are more longshot than anything at this point. One of the reasons for that is I am not very high on the Giants' offense and that is because I don't think there are any playmakers on that offense. Daniel Jones is just another quarterback out there with his current weapon. If he had better weapons would I feel different about him? Maybe, but I don't think he has the ''it'' factor to him overall. However, I really like the Giants' defense and the things that they are capable. It will be a major challenge here in week 16 vs the Ravens, though.
I really wondered if the Ravens could make a postseason push in the AFC and they really have over the past couple weeks. I think a lot of that has to do with Lamar Jackson being more Lamar Jackson-like lately. I think that Browns' game was huge for the Ravens putting themselves into this position. They will need some help over the last couple weeks to make it into the postseason. They will likely need to win out or have the Colts or Dolphins to lose at least one game.
Prediction - I don't think the Giants can stay with the Ravens on offense and I don't think their defense will do enough to slow down one of league's best rushing attacks. I think the Ravens will win by 10+ points!
Falcons at Chiefs -
The Falcons' season was over before it started, but they have played better after they got rid of Dan Quinn. However, when it matters they haven't been able to win the big games. I think the Falcons have some nice pieces to work with for the future. But I still believe that defense need to be vastly improved. I really like the players that they got on offense side of the ball. I am worried about Julio Jones staying healthy and believe he takes this offense to the next level. The defense focus point almost automatically shift to Jones and that makes everyone on this offense that much better. But as he get up in age and the injuries keep piling up, we have to wonder how much longer he has left in Atlanta?
The Chiefs and Saints were a lot of fun in week 15 and maybe one of my favorite games of the whole season. I was really impressed with the Saints because they really matched up well vs the Chiefs' offense. Of course, the Chiefs are still the Chiefs and they got their yards/points. For considering that the Chiefs ran about 90 offensive plays and only had 420 yards is impressive. It was a great game for Kansas City, but they did lose a few players late in the game at the running back position. Which was obviously not very ideal, but I doubt it gonna slow up the Kansas City's offense too much.
Prediction - I don't give Altanta that big of a chance to pull off the win in this one. Kansas City is just too damn good and still probably win by multiple scores in this one!
Browns at Jets -
The Jets did something that I didn't think they would be able to do and that was upset the Rams in week 15. They led pretty much that whole game and honestly that was easily the upset of the season for me. I really don't think we will see a bigger upset. By doing so, they also screwed up and gave away the No.1 pick to the Jags. It is still time for the Jags to win a game, but I don't think they will based on who they play over the final two weeks. As for the Jets, they have actually played pretty well over the last couple weeks. They also almost won a couple weeks ago, if it wasn't for a last second offensive score by the Raiders in week 13.
The Browns are in a really good position in the AFC playoffs picture and still have a shot at the AFC North. Headed into the season, I thought the Ravens would lead it early before the Steelers stole the division late. Instead, it could be the Steelers who lead the division most of the year and the Browns to steal it late. I have questions about the Browns' defense, but that rushing attack is something else Baker Mayfield is playing excellent! I will give credit where it is due and Mayfield is playing awesome right now. Early in the season, I felt like they had to run the ball because I didn't think it was a good idea to put it into the hands of Baker. But I was clearly wrong, but I also think he is getting more use to his offensive system as well. I think that is the biggest thing to me.
Prediction - Look, I would love to see another Jets' upset win but let's not get too greedy, though. I think the Browns will slap the Jets around pretty good.
