NFL Predictions -
Rams at Seahawks -
This has a chance to be the best game of the week and maybe have more on the line than any other game this week. This game could have huge impact on the NFC overall. A Seattle win would keep the ''3-way'' tie possibility alive, which is probably the Saints' only path to the No.1 seed. It also would lock the Seahawks into at least the No.3 seed and a playoffs birth. It also would grant them a home playoffs' game! The Seahawks has been hit and miss this season, but their defense has improved and their run game has became healthier as well. I think the Seahawks has gotten better as the season gone on. This is a very underrated team whom kinda flying under the radar in a wide-out NFC!
Rams blew out the Pats a few weeks ago on national tv and everyone was ready to name them NFC Super Bowl favorites, but I wasn't totally in on them. I said number of times that the Rams will only go far as Jared Goff will take them. This is probably the second-most complete team in the NFC (next to the Saints), but Jared Goff will decide if they are a first round exit or not. I think they need that No.3 seed to make it past the wildcard round. If they are a wildcard team, then they are most likely the No.6 seed and headed back to Seattle. I wouldn't feel good about that, after losing here in week 16. Or they could have to go to New Orleans. Ouch!
Prediction - I was on the Rams bandwagon all week, but as I was writing this article I kinda talked myself into the Seahawks! Look, they have Russell Wilson and he is a playmaker with his ball in his hands. Their run game is really good and they have an awesome WR core! On defense, they are certainly getting as well. I have Seahawks in a tight one!
Titans at Packers -
This has a chance to be one of the best games of the season! Two high-scoring defense going vs two questionable defenses. I think the Packers' defense are really starting to figure it out, but I don't think the media outside of Green Bay has picked up on that. And a lot of that has to do within changes on that defense. I think the vast improved safety play (Saverage and Amos) are allowing Mike Pettine to play bigger at the ILB positions and their rookies (Barnes and Martin) can fly to the ball. Not to mentioned, the Packers over the past month have let the pass rushers loose and been more aggressive on the backend. Don't sleep on this Green Bay defense. They will give up their share of yards, but they have a solid group over there.
Titans can make plays on defense, but it isn't at a consistent level and that worries me. The Titans need to do three things to win this game: 1) force at least one turnover - Packers are 10-0 when they don't turn over the ball. 2) Put pressure on Aaron Rodgers - this is the best easiest way to beat the Packers on offense. 3) Run the dang ball. As I mentioned up above, the Packers pass rush is getting better so you don't want to drop back vs that pass rush and that really good secondary. Not a great combo to have, but I think the Titans would have some success. However, as we know the Packers' biggest weakness on defense is their run game. So why not run it down their throats with a freak like Derrick Henry?
Titans are gonna have a problem on Sunday night on defense side of the ball on trying to stop Aaron Rodgers and this Packers offense. That offensive line is completely healthy now and Aaron Rodgers will pick an average secondary apart. And this secondary has struggled all season long. The Packers are also coming off a bad second-half vs the Panthers. Aaron Rodgers wasn't happy about it and that is probably bad news for the Titans
Prediction - This will be a close game, but when I look at this game. I really only see one advantage for the Titans and that their run game vs Packers run defense. While I see the Packers having an advantage vs the Titans pass defense. I think the Packers have advantage vs the Titans run defense. I also think the Packers have the advantage with their offensive line vs Titans' pass rush. This is a bad matchup for the Titans. I think and I see the Packers pulling away in this one.
Bills at Pats -
I don't know why people thought the Pats would be good this year or why people still are afraid of the Pats. I think it is the name, but this was not a very good team and that should had been obvious by the team's turnover before the season. Newton isn't the answer at QB and frankly he was an overrated signing. I said it for a few years that Newton is washed. When you look at his career, he was never an elite QB other than that 2015 season. That was the lone year where he was actually pretty good. Since then, the injuries have piled up and that has a lot to do with what kind of QB he is. I think the lackluster options in the pass game is also eye popping in New England. Their average OL and below average run game also makes everything a lot tougher for the Pats. On defense, they saw a lot of turnover, too. They aren't the Pats of old that's for sure!
The Bills should go on to win this game and I would be surprised, if they don't drop 30 points on the Pats in a statement game. The Bills are really good and has a chance to add to their already impressive season. I love watching this Bills' team. They can beat you so many ways on offense and it not just one player having a great season. They have so many weapons you have to defend and Josh Allen by himself is a handful to deal with. I also think that defense keep getting better and better as the season goes on. They are certainly peaking at the right time!
Prediction - I don't like the Pats in this one at all and I think the Bills will run away with this game pretty easily. I think the Bills will win by at least two scores!
