Finally this game has arrived! My favorite team, the Miami Dolphins, will be playing the undefeated Patriots. This game will be played in Foxboro, home of the New England Patriots. Both of these teams are coming off of huge wins and they are division rivals as well.
For the New England Patriots, they came off of a win against the Jets to stay at the top of the AFC East. It was an impressive victory because the Jets have one of the best defenses in the league. The reason they won was because of how good the patriots offense played in the fourth quarter. The Patriots have the best offense in the league with a genius at head coach. Bill Belichick manages to turn nobodies, into star players. They also have an older quarterback who is playing some of the best football of his long career. Tom Brady is one of the people who have a chance at winning the MVP award. The Patriots also have Rob Gronkowski, the best tight end in the league. The Patriots need to utilize their receiving core who has played surprisingly well this season. The Patriots defense has also been a surprise, especially after the loss of talent from last year. They have a defensive end that is leading the lead in sacks. The Patriots secondary is still questionable though.
As for my Fins, they have played lights out ever since Dan Campbell became the interim head coach. I don't know how he managed to did it, but Campbell has inspired this team to play to the best of their abilities. Last week the Dolphins blew out the Texans in one of the best performances in a single half ever. The Dolphins lead 41-0 at halftime! Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is playing a lot better, as he had a perfect passer rating last week. He was also the AFC Player of the week. Jarvis Landry and Rishard Mathews are sticking out as the best receivers the Dolphins have. They had a combined total of three touchdowns last week. The reason for this success is the Dolphins are establishing a running game, something that they didn't do in the first four weeks under Joe Philbin. The Dolphins offensive line are also starting to step up their game. The Dolphins defense are finally starting to live up to the hype they had gained in the off-season. Cameron Wake is playing like the best pass rusher in the league. In the last two weeks, Wake has managed 6 sacks. Ndamukong Suh is starting to play well also. He had back to back sacks last week. Now that cornerback Brent Grimes is healthy, he is starting to play like a top ten cornerback that he is. Reshad Jones is also proving why he is one of the best safeties in the game, with two pick sixes in the past two weeks. Call me a blinded fan, but I feel like the Dolphins are too motivated for the Patriots to beat them. It will be a close game, but I need to take my Dolphins.
32-28 DOLPHINS!!!!!

Monday Night Football: Ravens VS Cardinals (Prediction)
The Monday Night Football games this year have not been that entertaining. I do not think this game will be that entertaining either. That is because a a good team in the Arizona Cardinals, will be at home to take on a bad team in the Ravens.
The Ravens are a team that I think everyone was expecting to be good this season. They had a nice playoff run last year and they were looking really promising before the season started. However, the Ravens offense is not producing like it did last year. They have also had a lot of injuries. This does not look like it will be the Ravens year. Justin Forsett hasn't done much this year either.
The Cardinals were a team that started off blowing out all of their opponents. I still think that the Cardinals will be able to make noise in the playoffs. That being said, it has shown that they are beatable. The Cardinals have been able to play well with a lot of veteran players. Larry Fitzgerald and Chris Johnson have had their careers turned around. They also have a nice receiver in John Brown. I think that this team will dominate the Ravens on both sides of the ball.
32-14 Cardinals

Sunday Night Football: Panthers VS Eagles (Prediction)
Sunday Night Football this week will have one of the unbeaten teams playing. The Eagles will be traveling to Carolina to take on the unbeaten Panthers. This will be an easy game to predict based off of last weeks performances.
Last week, the Eagles had a blowout victory over the division rival Giants. This normally would be impressive, but both of the teams played awful. That being said, the Eagles have looked better than they did the first couple of weeks. The running game for the Eagles have looked better. Demarco Murray is one of a few players that must have a good team in order for the Eagles to stand a chance. Sam Bradford has also looked more comfortable. The Eagles defense has looked decent as well.
The Panthers have slowed down the criticism that they received for not being as good as the other undefeated teams. The Panthers had a heartwarming win over the two time reigning NFC Champion Seahawks. The Panthers have played good on both sides of the ball. Their defense has been great. They have a great secondary and line backing core. Also, Cam Newton is having an MVP caliber season. This will be a very easy win for the undefeated Panthers. I don't think they will slow down soon.
38-21 Panthers

Thursday Night Football: Seahawks VS 49ers (Prediction)
This Thursday night game will be very interesting due to where these teams stand. The Seahawks have been one of the best teams over the past couple of years. However, this season they have been on a decline. The 49ers have been looking a lot better than what they did in the first couple of games. Also, the Seahawks and 49ers are division rivals which means this game will matter even more to both of these teams.
The 49ers are hosting this game in their somewhat new stadium. Many people questioned how good the 49ers would be because of their new coach, and many of their players retiring. Starting out, they did not look good at all. There were questions surrounding quarterback Collin Kaepernick. The past couple of games the 49ers have looked a lot better. Even Kaepernick is starting to improve his game too.
The Seahawks have just been very confusing this season. First off, they started the season without their star safety, Kam Chancellor. I thought the only reason they were playing bad was because they didn't have him. Once they got him back, they started to win. Then they have miscommunication issues against both the Bengals, and the Panthers. This season they have given up many fourth quarter leads. I still believe that the Seahawks are one of the best teams in the NFL. Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson will need to have good games in order for the Seahawks to win. Also, Richard Sherman has lost his intensity. The Legion of Boom will need better coordination in this game. I still believe that the Seahawks are the better team, so I am picking them to beat the 49ers.
24-23 Seahawks

Dolphins Blowout Titans in Dan Campbell's Debut!
Today was a good day to be a Dolphins fan. The Dolphins interim head coach Dan Campbell made his debut against the Titans today. To my surprise, the Dolphins won 38-10 in a dominate victory. I am extremely excited because it seemed like everybody played to their potential. Now the Dolphins are 2-3 coming off of their long bye week.
The Dolphins offense looked good from the start this week. Jarvis Landry had a good day, especially with the rushing touchdown on a genius play call. Jarvis Landry always plays good for the Dolphins so that is no surprise. I think that Landry will be a pro bowl wide receiver in his future. On of the things the new coach wanted to establish is a running game. They finally started giving running back Lamar Miller the ball, and he did not disappoint. He had nearly 100 yards and a touchdown in the first half. Lamar Miller might be able to have a good season just like he did last year. Rishard Mathews had a good game as well. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill looked pretty well too. He did have two interceptions, but one of them was no his fault. Jordan Cameron was the reason for on of these interceptions, but he made up for it with a late touchdown.
The defense looked spectacular in this game. I am going to start with the defensive line. The defensive looked like what they should have in the beginning of the season. The Dolphins had five sacks in just the first half of the game. One of those was from Vernon, who also might get fined because of a cheap hit he got on Titans rookie quarterback, Marcus Mariota. The other four sacks were from my favorite Dolphin's player, Cameron Wake. I was beginning to think that Cameron Wake was going to go for the single game sack record since he had four sacks and two forced fumbles in the first half. Suh did not do much, but he was double teamed for most of the game. I think Suh will do more the longer the season will goes on. Reshad Jones proved why he is a top 5 safety in the league with a nice pick 6. Corner back Brent Grimes has been off to a slow start to the season. However, Grimes managed to get an interception which made me feel relieved about him.
Hopefully the Dolphins will continue to play good under the new coach. So far, I am excited to see what the Dolphins are capable of with Dan Campbell at head coach.

Monday Night Football: Giants VS Eagles (Prediction)
Monday Night Football will be where it is at to watch NFC East division rivals square off. The surprisingly impressive New York Giants will be traveling down to Philadelphia to take on the rival Eagles. The winner of this game will have a lot of momentum to take this division. Both of these teams haven't looked bad these past few weeks. I believe that this game will be very close.
The Eagles look like they are all starting to get on the same page. Sam Bradford has played pretty well after a really rough start. They are also managing to utilize their cache of running backs way more. I am expecting Demarco Murray to have a good game against the Eagles. Their defense also hasn't looked bad. I think the Eagles will be playing harder than they have the whole season because they are at home and against the top team in their division.
The Giants look like they are trying to capitalize on the opening in the NFC East. This of course is due to the injuries that the Dallas Cowboys have faced. Eli Manning is playing like a completely different quarterback than he has the past few seasons. He has been limiting the turnovers which has helped the Giants out tremendously. I expect Eli Manning to continue to play well. I believe that the Giants will be able to pull this game out in a close game.
24-21 Giants

Sunday Night Football: Colts VS Patriots (Prediction)
The time has come. The rematch of the AFC Championship game between the Patriots and Colts are here. The main reason this game is being hyped up so much is because these were the two teams playing in the Deflategate game. Many people are expecting Tom Brady to go off this game becuase he wants revenge.
The Colts have managed to bring their season back from a 0-2 start. They have looked pretty impressive the past few weeks. Now, the Colts will be getting back their pro bowl quarterback, Andrew Luck. When Andrew Luck has been the quarterback for the Colts this season, the Colts are 1-2. I am expecting the Andrew Luck to play better than he has in his other starts. Andre Johnson managed to step it up last week when the Colts won. The Colts need to utilize Andre Johnson to help manage the game. Also, Frank Gore will hopefully play good for the Colts to manage the clock.
The Patriots are one of the best teams in the NFL. I have seen analysts predict the patriots to drop 60 points on the Colts. Brady's dad also is wanting them to score 60 points. Most people are saying the the Patriots are going to blowout the Colts. However, I do not think it will be as bad as most people are thinking. The Patriots offense is one of the best in the league. Rob Gronkowski will probably have a very big game. I also think that Julian Edleman will have a good game. He is a great wide receiver that managed to fall in the hands of the Patriots. There is no question in my mind that the Patriots are winning this game. I am just not with the people who thinks it will be one of the biggest blowouts in football history.
