I'm bored, so I've decided to do my own version of predictions for this week! So we're already in Week 11, so I'm just gonna pick the winners of this week's games with a bit of explanation!
Cardinals vs. Seahawks wait maybe I'm a day too late to do this one. Sadly Tyler Lockett didn't have 200 yards this week. That would be nice for my Fantasy team this week...
Steelers vs. Jaguars yeah, Steelers. Umm, I don't think having an undefeated team playing a 1-8 team with a backup quarterback warrants an in-depth explanation. James Robinson is going to be shut down by the Steelers. This is basically my lock of the week. Sorry for all of you Jags fans out there, but my predicted score is 38-10, Steelers.
Lions vs. Panthers hey look, two questionable quarterbacks and the Panthers without Christian McCaffrey. Fun enough, huh? Not a lot to really go off here, but Teddy Bridgewater seems less likely to play than Matthew Stafford does, but this one's going to be close. As much as I hate going for the Lions in close games because of how much I dislike Mike Patricia, I'm picking 24-21, Lions.
Patriots vs. Texans this one looks fun. I hate betting against the Texans, especially when Watson's the QB. Even though I don't like the Patriots offense, the run game has somewhat come alive in the past few weeks. I'm leaning towards the Patriots because the Texans run defense seems like the weakest point on the team. My predicted score is 31-24 Pats.
Titans vs. Ravens hey look, it's two faltering teams. Both teams are looking for a bounceback game. Also, it's a revenge match for Lamar Jackson! I really think that one of the biggest problems for the Titans right now is not getting the ball to AJ Brown enough. They have a really potent deep ball attack, which hasn't been used as much this season. Now on the other second year Brown. Marquise "Hollywood" Brown has been faltering as of late. The Ravens run game seems to have lost the shine it has had last season. As much as I don't want to bet against Lamar, I'm going 24-21 Titans.
Eagles vs. Browns hey look, it's two teams that specialise in bad qb play! I honestly cannot see the Eagles winning this with the number of mistakes they make in both qb play and coaching mistakes. The Browns aren't honestly too much better, but they still can get to a quick lead and just run the clock down with their run game. I'm expecting that to be the game script, so I'm going 20-17, Browns.
Falcons vs. Saints okay, I'm really not sure about this one. Does Jameis Winston return as the starting QB? Or do the Saints see Taysom Hill as the future of this franchise? Apparently news got released that they're starting Taysom Hill as I was writing this. I'm expecting the Saints defense to get a shootout game this week. It's a hot take, I know. Taysom Hill seems to be an unknown as a quarterback, but I see another 2019 49ers and Saints game happening, and I once again, don't see the Saints winning this one. Predicted score for this one is 34-27, Falcons, but with Taysom Hill starting, there's a lot of unknowns.
Bengals vs. Washington the line favours Washington here, if I recall correctly. I'm going for the Bengals though. Although Alex Smith is being Alex Smith again, I still think that Joe Burrow can get this win even without Mixon this week. I may be optimistic here, because I have Giovanni Bernard, but I'm going 27-17, Bengals.
Jets vs. Chargers Jets fans, I pray for y'all. In all honesty, the Chargers are better than their record of 2-7. The Jets are probably worse than their record of 0-9. The Chargers love getting themselves into shootouts. However, in more bad news for the Jets, Joey Bosa and Chris Harris are back. I can't see this going any other way. Justin Herbert has a really nice day, and my predicted score is 38-21, Chargers.
Dolphins vs. Broncos yeah uh, Dolphins. I did not expect that defense to be good. I can still name zero players on that defense. I'm in a daze right now with this team. I can see this team winning the AFC East. They could be better than the Bills as well. Actually, they probably are better than the Bills. I can't see this game not going towards the Dolphins, in all honesty. My predicted score is 31-20, Dolphins.
Cowboys vs. Vikings huh, Dalvin Cook only got 30 carries last game? He only got 96 yards? He was playing against Khalil Mack? Yeah, sorry Cowboys, even with Andy Dalton, I can't see a win. I'm guessing the game script goes something like a quick lead for the Vikings, and Dalvin Cook running the ball over and over, killing the clock. I can see Dalvin Cook getting more than 30 carries this game. My predicted score is 24-10, Vikings.
Packers vs. Colts this is going to be good. As much as I hate betting against Aaron Rodgers, it's Green Bay Defense vs Colts rushing that makes me pick the Colts here. I see the Green Bay offense as evenly matched with the Colts defense. The Colts somewhat remind me of the 49ers from last year, and we all remember how the 49ers destroyed the Packers twice last season. Predicted score is 34-24, Colts.
Chiefs vs. Raiders the Raiders can win against the Chiefs, they've shown that. Now can they win when a lot of their defense is out? I'm not so sure. It's going to be another deep ball shootout game, but I see the Chiefs getting revenge here. I feel like it'll be a bit closer though. My predicted score is 38-31, Chiefs.
Rams vs. Buccaneers fun. These teams seem roughly evenly matched. I'm making a prediction here because I need to make a prediction here. I honestly think that this is going to be extremely close, but am just going to say this as a tossup game, with the scores being switched being a real option. Anyways, 24-21, Rams.
These are just my predictions that I'm doing for fun, but if any of y'all want to just post scores with or without explanations as your predictions, we could compare after the Rams and Bucs game on Monday!
