Wow, it's a Monday Night Football game that I am actually interested in. The improving Buffalo Bills will be taking on the reigning Superbowl champions, the New England Patriots. The Patriots are also still undefeated.
Tyrod Taylor is shaping out to be a great quarterback in the NFL. With the weapons the Bills have on offense, they can score with the Patriots as shown in their loss to them earlier this season. I like the receivers and running backs that the Bills have. The Bills have a defense that is also better than the Patriots defense. This is all signs pointing to the Bills being able to win, but the Bills are not proven enough to beat the Patriots on the road.
The Patriots managed to squeak out their ninth win of the season against the Giants. In that game, they lost one of their big offensive weapons, Julian Edelman. Long term, the injury to the Patriots might come back to haunt them. I think that they will be fine for this game though. The Patriots defense is still really good, and they have the best coach in the league. I am thinking that Gronkowski will have an impressive performance in this game. Ultimately, I am expecting the Patriots to stay undefeated in this game. It is just really hard to pick against them.
32-21 Patriots

Sunday Night Football: Cardinals VS Bengals (Prediction)
Sunday Night Football is shaping up to be a good game for the second week in a row. The 7-2 Cardinals will be at home to take on the one loss Bengals into what might end up being a great game. The Cardinals just came off of a huge win against the Seahawks. The Bengals on the other hand, came off of an ugly loss to the Texans on Monday night.
The Cardinals impressed me last week. I believe that the Cardinals are one of the most complete teams in the league. Last week the Cardinals were able to get running back Andre Ellington playing good. They may need for him to step up again this week in order for the Cardinals to play well. Carson Palmer is having the best season of his long career this year, and i expect him to continue to dominate tonight against the Bengals. The Cardinals defense is incredible all around. The Cardinals safeties have been playing great this season as well.
The Bengals came off of an ugly loss to the Texans like I said before. The Bengals are a good team that just seems to play bad during night games. The Bengals offense is good and their defense is great as well. I just don't know how much trust that I can put in the Bengals team right now. This is why I am expecting the Cardinals to win at home in a close game.
28-24 Cardinals

Thursday Night Football: Jaguars VS Titans (Prediction)
Two almost evenly matched teams will be squaring off on Thursday Night Football. In Jacksonville, the Jaguars will be taking on the Titans. Even though these two teams aren't the best, they are still in contention for a playoff spot due to the AFC South being absolutely terrible. This game right here could possibly have huge playoff implications in the AFC South.
I'll start off with the home team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. For the last few years, the Jaguars have been the laughing stock of the NFL. Even though they are not great, they have managed to improve quite a bit. They have finally managed to find what looks like a franchise quarterback in Blake Bortles. The Jaguars defense has also been doing solid as well. I personally believe in the next few years, the Jaguars will be one of the better teams. On both sides of the ball, the Jaguars have improved. In order to beat the Titans at home, the Jaguars will need to showcase those improvements that I just discussed.
The Titans offense with Marcus Mariota has shown flashes of good things. Mariota has managed to have a few games where he threw for four touchdowns with zero interceptions. It will be interesting to see how Mariota performs against an up and coming defense. Also with a new coach, the Titans have looked somewhat better. It will be interesting to see how the Titans are able to perform on the road. However, I believe that the Jaguars are better than the Titans by just a little bit. They are also the home team which gives an advantage to the Jaguars.
27-24 Jaguars

Monday Night Football: Bengals VS Texans (Prediction)
I don't get how the NFL decides what games to play on Monday Night Football. It is suppose to be one of the best games of the week, but they just seem to be not that interesting. Whelp, here we go anyway. The undefeated Bengals will be hosting the not very impressive Texans. The Texans are only 1-3 on the road this season.
The Bengals are undefeated for a reason. They have had a very good offense, and a solid defense as well. The Bengals offense has a lot of weapons which is why they have been so successful. The only reason why the media has not been on the Bengals is because they have a history of being disappointing in the post-season.
The Texans have been really bad this season. They have also been taking a lot of injuries this season as well. All you can really say about the Texans is JJ Watt. JJ Watt to me is still the best defensive player in the league. I really do feel bad for him since he is playing on such a bad team. His effort will not be enough to stop the Bengals.
28-14 Bengals

Sunday Night Football: Seahawks VS Cardinals (Prediction)
A very interesting game will be taking place tonight on Sunday Night Football. The Arizona Cardinals will be in Seattle to take on the Seahawks. This game will definitely be a defensive showcase, as both teams are great on that side of the ball.
The Seahawks have been a shell of their former self this season. Last week, they beat a desperate Cowboys team in a game with no offense. The Seahawks offensive line is really bad, and they need to step up in order to get anything going for this team. Jimmy Graham is just starting to be useful in the Seahawk's offense. Russell Wilson spreading the ball around will be important in this game as well. I dont really need to say anything about the Seahawks defense, because they are really good all around.
The Cardinals have been looking softer as the year has gone on. Carson Palmer has been great this season. A lot of the older players on the Cardinals have been great surprisingly. I would have to say that the Cardinals offense is way more impressive than the Seahawks. The Cardinals are also one of the best teams on the defensive side of the ball. However, I still think that Seattle will win this game. Since they are always good at home, I have to pick them. I will be a defensive showdown though.
24-20 Seahawks

Thursday Night Football: Bills VS Jets (Prediction)
Compared to last week, this game is going to be very interesting. This game will show the Buffalo Bills traveling to New York to play the Jets. Both of these teams are sitting in a similar position and they are division rivals. I feel like whichever team wins tonight, they will be the ones to take that wildcard spot.
Dealing with the Bills, they have been pretty disappointing compared to the off season hype. They just came off of an easy win against my Dolphins, but i was expecting the Bills to be better. The Bills head coach Rex Ryan has been trying to get into the head of his former team. The Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor will need to have a big game against the Jets in order for them to win. Sammy Watkins might have a good game tonight just like he did against the Dolphins. The Bills defense will also need to step it up since it looks like this game will be more of a defensive battle.
The Jets are a pretty good team. When every team in the AFC East besides the Patriots gathered a lot of talent in the off season, I thought the Jets would be the worst. They have surprised me though. The Jets offensively need to have a better running game. Chris Ivory was having a breakout year, but he has been horrible as of late. He needs to step up big tonight. The Jets defense is great, and they will need to be great because their offense might not be on the field too often. Overall, I believe the Jets will win in a low scoring game. I am picking the Jets because I think they are slightly better and also they are at home.
20-17 Jets

Monday Night Football: Bears VS Chargers (Prediction)
This is kind of a disappointing Monday Night Football game, considering that both of these teams will probably not make the playoffs. The Chicago Bears are going to be traveling to San Diego to play the disappointing Chargers.
When I analyze the Bears, I see a team who is just rebuilding. The best player on their team is easily Matt Forte. I have a huge amount of respect for Matt Forte, even though he is will a bad team. The Bears offense is not really that bad when I look at it. They have a solid receiving cor, good running back, and one of the best tight ends in the league. The Bears offensive line and defense has been under performing.
The Chargers are pretty interesting. They can beat any team, they just don't seem motivated to do so. The Chargers are like my Dolphins, very inconsistent. However, I feel like the Chargers are due for a win this week. Phillip Rivers has been playing solid this year, considering the Chargers are asking him to do a lot. This is why I am picking them to win a close game.
28-24 Chargers

Sunday Night Football: Cowboys VS Eagles (Prediction)
This is a huge game for both of these teams. The division that both of these teams are in are horrible, so whichever team loses is going to be at a huge disadvantage to make the playoffs. This division game will be taking place in Dallas.
The Cowboys have been horrible ever since Tony Romo went down. However, the Cowboys can still run the ball very well. I think that the Cowboys will be able to get Darren McFadden running the ball well in this game. They will definitely need it since the quarterback for them, Matt Cassel, has not been playing well. Hopefully for the Cowboys, they might be able to get Dez Bryant to be able to make plays. As for their defense, they have improved a lot. That defensive line will be able to get after Sam Bradford tonight. I think the Cowboys defense will be key for them tonight.
As for the Eagles, they have been disappointing as well. Most of their off-season signings have been playing poorly. Sam Bradford will need to be able to play better than he has been in order for the Eagles to win. The Eagles defense will also need to be able to step up and stop the Cowboy's running game. However, I do not think that they will be able to do it. I think that this is when the Cowboys step up and start playing well. They need to do this before Tony Romo gets back in two weeks.
24-20 Cowboys

Thursday Night Football: Bengals VS Browns (Prediction)
There is only one reason anybody would want to watch this game outside of the Browns and Bengals fans. This reason is the Browns are going to be starting Johnny Manziel will be the starting quarterback for the Browns. Getting to the game, the Cleveland Browns will be traveling to play the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals for Thursday Night Football. This is kind of a no-brainer for who is going to win.
Starting with the Bengals, they are a great football team. They are undefeated for a reason. Most analyst aren't really talking about them because they have a bad history in the post season. That being said, the Browns have no chance. The Bengals outmatch them everywhere and that is all that can really be said for the Bengals.
The Browns are in an interesting situation right now. Their quarterback Josh Mccown has been beaten up, so here comes Johnny Football. Johnny Manziel first played against the Bengals last year and he was decimated. He has improved, but he will still struggle against the Bengals. Mostly because he has a bunch of no-name wide receivers. It will not even be close.
34-14 Bengals

Monday Night Football: Panthers VS Colts (Prediction)
I am just now learning that Andrew Luck may have had hurt ribs the past couple of weeks. This could play a factor in this Monday night game between the undefeated Panthers, and the Indianapolis Colts. One of these teams look great, while the other looks surprisingly like a shell of themselves from last year.
The Carolina Panthers have been looking good on both sides of the ball this season. Cam Newton is starting to make a name for himself as a up and coming quarterback. What surprises me the most about this Panthers offense, is that there are not many good receivers on the team. The Panthers defense is also really good, as i have explained before. It would help the Panthers, if they could manage to get some takeaways from the Colts, since the Colts turn the ball over a lot. I think that in this game, the Panthers will be able to play good on both sides of the ball.
As for the Colts, I don't even know how to explain them. Last year, they looked great. Now, they look mediocre at best. It looks like Andrew Luck will be playing, which means that a lot of people will be analyzing his performance. For Andrew Luck, he really needs to limit his turnovers. Also, nobody else has really been producing on the Colts offense.It must be kind of hard for the Colts, since none of their free agent signings have lived up to the expectations. Their defense has been decent, but nowhere near what it needs to be in order to play good in the playoffs. I think this will be another game where the Colts have a underwhelming performance. I have no idea if the head coach is in jeopardy of losing his job, but if they continue to lose he will be. The Colts were expected by a lot of people to make it to the Super Bowl, and it does not look like it will happen. Maybe the Colts will be able to turn it around, but it does not look like it will happen anytime soon. I definitely don't think it will happen in this game in Carolina.

Sunday Night Football: Packers VS Broncos (Prediction)
This game has been long awaited since both of these teams are undefeated. The Green Bay Packers are traveling to play a very unusual team in the Denver Broncos. Both of these teams are 6-0 coming into this game. Out of the two teams, the Packers seem to be a bigger powerhouse in the NFC, then the Broncos are a powerhouse in the AFC. Yet, it is a very interesting game nonetheless.
The Packers are probably the best team in the NFC. The only team that you can make an argument against them for, is the Carolina Panthers. I like the Packers offense because of two words. Aaron Rodgers. I still believe that Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback in the NFL today. The Packers are facing a lot of injuries at receiving core. Even with the injuries, Aaron Rodgers finds a way to make it work. Also, Eddie Lacy is a great power back for the Packers. The most surprising thing about the Packers, is their defense has really stepped up this season. I don't blame anybody for thinking this would be a game more about defense, then offense.
The Denver Broncos have probably been the least impressive out of all of the unbeaten teams. This Broncos defense is one of the best in the league however. Their is nothing that this defense can't do. They can get pressure on the quarterback, play well against the pass, and they can get a lot of takeaways. This defense is better at scoring points, than the offense. Speaking of the offense, they have been awful. Sadly, the biggest question is Peyton Manning and his age. I think that if head coach Gary Kubiak lets Peyton Manning run the offense, he will be fine. The Denver Broncos need to have a better rushing attack tonight to win though. I do not think that they will manage to do it though.
28- 21 Packers
