01/09/23 NFL Updates

With the regular season now coming to an end we are now heading into the playoffs with these 14 teams headed to the playoffs. The AFC teams are (Dolphins, Bills, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Jaguars, Chiefs), and the NFC teams are (Seahawks, 49ers, Giants, Vikings, Cowboys, Buccaneers, Eagles). The one scenario that I forgot to mention that could happen, of course did happen and this was if the Seahawks won their game which they did and the Packers lose to the lions which they did, the Seahawks make the Playoffs. 

NFC “Big Games” Tom Brady and the Buccaneers snuck into the playoffs with an (8-9) record and are going to face America’s team the Cowboys who are (12-5). This is a home game for the Buccaneers and a lot of people have them winning, but I do think this game comes to the end to decide the winner of this. Tom Brady’s experience in the playoffs is going to play a huge role, and the cowboys are known for “choking” in the playoffs but I do think that the Cowboys surprise NFL fans and win this game in a close one. 

The AFC “Big Game” is Justin Herbert and the Chargers taking on the Jaguars in Jacksonville. To me these are two very mediocre teams who have the potential to just explode and can even make it all the way. I think this happens for the Chargers. I think they put their foot on the gas and don’t let go. Jacksonville's offense played awful in week 18 and only made it because of their defense and I think the Chargers find the holes in that defense and expose them. I have the Chargers winning by at least 10 points and shocking the NFL. 

The two #1 seeds in each division are the Eagles in the NFC and Chiefs in the AFC, I believe this extra week for the Chiefs is going to take a toll on them. For the most part teams want and would like this bye week to get healthy and have a break but sometimes this can take away from your groove. The Chiefs ended the regular season off strong but they also did this right before their bye week and when they came back they narrowly defeated the Titans and even had a slow week the week after. The Eagles on the other hand did benefit from this but I do think if the Cowboys beat the Buccaneers they will beat the Eagles. 

My Predictions this week: 

(49ers vs Seahawks) 49ers

(Giants vs Vikings) Vikings

(Cowboys vs Bucs) Cowboys

(Dolphins vs Bills) Bills

(Ravens vs Bengals) Bengals 

(Chargers vs Jaguars) Chargers

01/03/2023 NFL UPDATES

My predictions for last week’s games: (10-5) and forgot to pick for the Bills/Bengals game. This is very Ironic because this game was suspended because there was a very sad event that happened during the game and it was postponed. Bills Safety Damar Hamlin was hit really hard in the chest causing him to go into cardiac arrest. I have never seen anything like this and I was watching it live on TV. They were giving him CPR on the field while he was down for about 10 minutes. They finally got him off the field and to the hospital where his vitals are back to normal but he is still very much in critical condition. The entire NFL community and more have him and his family in our prayers.

Last weeks big games that I brought up did NOT disappoint. The 49ers vs Raiders game was a nail bitter and closer than I anticipated but the 49ers came out on top. So now the Raiders have been fully eliminated from the Playoffs but the 49ers now have a chance to get the #1 seed if they win this week and the Eagles lose. The Packers and Vikings was very one sided, the Packers ran all over the Vikings and came out victorious so they now have a chance to get into the playoffs.

Right now for the AFC the teams that are in the hunt and have a chance of playoffs if they win are the (Dolphins, Steelers & Titans)

For the NFC on the other hand there are only 2 teams in the hunt the (Lions & Packers).

These teams have been eliminated now

Texans

Bears

Cardinals

Broncos

Colts

LA Rams

Falcons

Panthers

Browns

My Predictions this week:

(Chiefs vs Raiders) Chiefs

(Titans vs Jaguars) Jaguars

(Ravens vs Bengals) Bengals

(Browns vs Steelers) Browns

(Vikings vs Bears) Vikings

(Patriots vs Bills) Bills

(Jets vs Dolphins) Dolphins

12/29/2022 NFL Updates!

It is Week 17 of the NFL and tonight 12/29/2022 is the Thursday night game. There are 2 weeks until the playoffs and only 8 teams have been eliminated. These teams are the Texans, Bears, Cardinals, Broncos, Colts, Falcons, Rams & Browns. This means there are still plenty of teams in the hunt.

Now moving on to one of the games that I find personally interesting is the game between the 49ers vs the raiders, which is also called “battle of the bay”. Some of the other games are Bills vs Bengals & Packers vs Vikings. Being from the Bay Area and a huge 49ers fan, some big news for this week's game versus the Raiders is that Derek Carr will be benched. Some things that come to my head instantly are, “will the raiders lose their locker?” Meaning “are all of the players going to stop caring or trying?” One of the biggest concerns and questions is, “if the Raiders send Carr away does that mean Davante Adams will stay or leave? If so, where is he going?” This will be a huge offseason for the Raiders which will be even bigger than last offseason. Carr has been on the Raiders team since 2014, he has been the only somewhat stable player for the Raiders and since they are moving away from him you start to wonder what their next move will be. I do predict this game will be a blowout and the 49ers will send the Raiders home with a lot to think about. The 49ers on the other hand, if they win and some of their other games go in their favor they will either stay in 3rd place or move up in the NFC (National Football Conference). This week they were considered the NFL's number One Power Ranking Team, so let's see if they can live up to that hype. 

Two games that will be even more interesting are the Bills vs Bengals & Packers vs Vikings. The Bills hold the #1 spot in the AFC (American Football Conference) while the Bengals hold the #3 spot. If the Bills do happen to lose this game it is likely they lose the #1 spot and the Chiefs take it. Whereas, If the Bills do win then there is a good chance that the Bengals lose there #3 spot and move into the Wildcard. This is a similar scenario for the Packers vs Vikings game but if Green Bay loses they no longer have a chance at the playoffs! 

My predictions for this week’s games:

(Cowboys vs Titans) Cowboys 

(49ers vs Raiders) 49ers

(Cardinals vs Falcons) Falcons 

(Bears vs Lions) Lions 

(Broncos vs Chiefs) Chiefs 

(Dolphins vs Patriots) Dolphins 

(Colts vs Giants) Giants 

(Saints vs Eagles) Eagles 

(Panthers vs Buccaneers) Panthers 

(Browns vs Commanders) Browns 

(Jaguares vs Texans) Jaguars 

(Jets vs Seahawks) Jets

(Vikings vs Packers) Vikings 

(Rams vs Chargers Chargers 

(Steelers vs Ravens) Steelers
