Hey friend, football season is in full swing and I am pumped for the spread on NFL games this week! I got to thinking about who I think will be the victors in each matchup. I will tell you my picks and why. Let me start with the game between the 49ers and Rams tomorrow.
I was looking at the stats and noticed that the 49ers had a hotter start of the season. They seem to be firing on all cylinders so I’m going with the 49ers easily taking this one. They have a mean defense and even meaner offensive line, which I think will make the difference.
Next up is the Thursday night showdown between the Jets and Dolphins. While the Dolphins have had some moments this season, I don’t think they’ll have enough to beat the resurgent Jets. Sam Darnold seems to be finally finding his character as a leader and has the offense firing on all cylinders. The Jets have the edge here.
The Bengals team have been one of the few bright spots of the season, and I think it will be an easy win for them against the Browns this Sunday. The last time these two teams have faced off was an absolute blowout in favor of the Bengals. This time I don’t think it will be as bad, but I expect the Bengals to come out on top again.
The last game I want to talk about is the Monday night game between the Redskins and Cowboys. This one looks like it will be tight. The Redskins have been getting better and better each week and their defense still looks hungry. On the other side, the Cowboys are coming off a huge win against the Eagles and their offense is really starting to find its groove. I’m gonna go with the Cowboys here, though it could easily swing either way.
Now that I have told you my picks for this week’s games, let’s focus on the teams. First of all, the 49ers have been playing really strong and their defense is smothering the competition. Even though they have a very solid team, it will take more than just a good defense to have success in this league. It also requires a well-rounded offensive and defensive package.
The Jets are making a courageous comeback this year and they seem to be slowly clawing their way back to relevance. They have been leaning on Sam Darnold’s leadership and passing ability, but their defense has also been making strides, and I think they are well on their way to being back among the top teams in the league.
The Bengals team have seen a resurgence this year, after a few years of mediocrity and they seem to be getting better each week. They have a well-oiled offensive unit, as well as a dominant defense. They have the look of a team that is built to make a run and potential Super Bowl contender.
The Redskins and Cowboys game will definitely be a closely contested one and I think that this rivalry game will be a lot of fun to watch. Both teams have been putting up good numbers this year and have an equally strong defense and offense. Since this game is so important in terms of the standings, it will be interesting to see who walks away with the win.
The following week, we’ll have a Sunday night showdown between the Seahawks and Eagles. I think this will easily be the most entertaining and competitive game of the week since both teams have the potential to be Super Bowl contenders. The Seahawks have arguably the best offense in the league, while the Eagles have one of the top defenses. I am looking forward to this one.
On Thursday, we will have the exciting matchup between the Packers and Bears. Both teams have had their struggles this year, but the Packers always seem to bring their best when going up against the Bears. I expect this game to be close and for it to come down to the wire.
The Thursday night game will be a battle between the Patriots and Colts that could go either way. The Patriots have the advantage in terms of experience and they have been performing well this year, but the Colts have a very strong defense and a dynamic offense. This will definitely be a great game between two teams battling for a playoff spot.
The Raiders and Chiefs will be the last game of the week, and it could easily be one of the most exciting ones as well. The Raiders have had a resurgence this season and they are playing some good football. On the other side, the Chiefs have been one of the top teams in the league and their offense has been unstoppable. We could be looking at an instant classic.
All in all, this looks like a great week for football. We have some really strong matchups and it will be interesting to see what transpires. I can’t wait for the action to begin!
