Hi everyone! Today I want to discuss which game picks I got correct and which ones I got wrong. So, let’s get started! I predicted that the Saints would beat the Jets 31-14, but the final score was 30-9 Saints over the Jets. That was a pretty close prediction right there! I predicted that the Seahawks would beat the Texans 24-10, but the final score was 33-13 Seahawks over the Texans. I predicted that the Chiefs would beat the Raiders 24-13, but the final score was 48-9 Chiefs over the Raiders in a huge blowout. The Raiders got absolutely crushed on offense and defense as they did not play good at all. No one showed up for them. I predicted that the Browns would beat the Ravens 23-17, but the final score was 24-22 Browns over the Ravens. The Ravens almost came back and won the game and the Browns almost blew it as they were up 24-6. I predicted that the Cowboys would beat the Football Team 26-20, but the final score was 27-20 Cowboys over the Football Team. The Cowboys almost let the Football Team comeback after they were up 24-0. And my prediction there was almost on the money! Just one score off!! That was impressive!! I predicted that the Titans would beat the Jaguars 27-13, but the final score was 20-0 Titans over the Jags. I predicted that the Broncos would beat the Lions 30-16, but the final score was 38-10 Broncos over the Lions. That made Broncos fans happy and better and support for the death of Demaryius Thomas. I predicted that the Chargers would beat the Giants 34-19, but the final score was 37-21 Chargers over the Giants. I predicted that the Buccaneers would beat the Bills 30-24, but the final score was 33-27 Buccaneers over the Bills in overtime. The Bills came back from being down 27-10 and 24-3. The Buccaneers scored a game-winning touchdown in overtime to win the game. I predicted that the Packers would beat the Bears 28-17, but the final score was 45-30 Packers over the Bears. The Bears were putting up a pretty good fight, but the Packers were able to find a way to win the game. The quarterback Justin Fields of the Bears played pretty well. He just needs better coaching.

I predicted that the Panthers would beat the Falcons 20-16, but the final score was 29-21 Falcons over the Panthers. The Falcons actually did not blow a lead this time. I predicted that the Bengals would beat the 31-26, but the final score was 26-23 49ers over the Bengals in overtime. The 49ers scored a game-winning touchdown after the Bengals offense couldn’t score a touchdown as they had to kick the field goal. I predicted that the Cardinals would beat the Rams 31-22, but the final score was 30-23 Rams over the Cardinals. The Cardinals just continue to struggle at home. The defense of the Cardinals was not very good at all. The wide receiver Cooper Kupp was the main factor of the Ram’s offense and the Cardinals knew that they were going to throw the ball to him. The run-defense of the Cardinals was better though. The Cardinal’s offense kicked the field goal on the opening drive to go up 3-0. Later on, the Cardinals were driving down the field and were about to score a touchdown to go up 10-0. But instead, Kyler Murray threw an interception in the end zone. If the Cardinals scored that touchdown, then that would have been a different ballgame. He also threw another interception in the 3^rd quarter. The Cardinals failed to clinch a playoff berth on Monday and fall to the number 3 seed behind the Packers in 1^st place and the Buccaneers in 2^nd place in the playoff standings.

So, I have gotten 10 out of 13 picks correct! Now, let’s get to week 15 picks, shall we?! The first game I will predict is the Titans @Steelers game. I think the Titans will beat the Steelers 31-24. The next game I will predict is the Panthers @Bills game. I think the Bills will beat the Panthers 29-18. The next game I will predict is the Cowboys @Giants game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Cowboys will beat the Giants 30-19. The next game I will predict is the Cardinals @Lions game. Both of these teams are coming off with their losses last week. The Cardinals will get another chance to clinch the playoff berth with the win tomorrow and the Lions will obviously try and stop the Cardinals from making it happen. Now the Lions might come out and play hard. However, I do think the Cardinals will beat the Lions to clinch their first playoff berth 34-17. The Cardinals just need to do better on defense and offense. The Cardinals will be without DeAndre Hopkins which is a big blow to the offense, but they have won without him. The running back Chase Edmonds is expected to come back which is good news to hear. The Cardinals just needs to also run the ball because the Lions are worst of stopping the run believe it or not, don’t beat yourselves, don’t turn the ball over, get off to a good start and attack the Lions team on offense and defense. This is a game that the Cardinals should win, but I won’t count out the Lions either. The Lions however seem to always find ways to lose games. The Cardinals are 7-0 on the road this season. The next game I will predict is the Jets @Dolphins game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Dolphins will beat the Jets 27-10. The Dolphins are trying to make the playoffs and they are playing better football right now. The next game I will predict is the Bengals @Broncos game. I think this should be a good game here. I think the Bengals will beat the Broncos 30-24. The next game I will predict is the Falcons @49ers game. I think the 49ers will beat the Falcons 27-23. The next game I will predict is the Packers @Ravens game. Lamer Jackson might play tomorrow which it is a good sign for the Ravens because they desperately need him to play especially against the Packers team. The Ravens are just having a downfall so far. The Packers do have a chance to beat the Ravens. However, I actually think the Ravens will beat the Packers in a close game 31-28. I don’t think the Ravens would want to lose this game and miss the playoffs all of the sudden. The next game I will predict is the Saints @Buccaneers game, the divisional rivalries on Sunday Night Football. I think the Buccaneers will beat the Saints 33-26. The reason I think the Bucs might win is because the head coach of the Saints Sean Payton has tested positive.

Now, there will be 2 games on Monday. The first game on Monday is the Raiders @Browns game. The game was changed due to the players getting Covid-19. I think the Raiders will beat the Browns in a close game 24-17. The Browns may have some key players on the Covid-19 list. The next one is the Vikings @Bears game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Vikings will beat the Bears in a close game 29-26 because the Vikings might blow a lead again. I think the Vikings will barely hang on to beat the Bears. There are also will be 2 games on Tuesday because they changed them as well. The first one ifs the Washington Football Team @Eagles game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Football might actually beat the Eagles in a close game 30-23. The last and second game is the Seahawks @Rams game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Rams will beat the Seahawks in a close game 27-24.
