So, last week was a crazy week because so many players were getting hurt. The NFL players such as Jimmy Garoppolo (49ers Quarterback), Nick Bosa and Solomon Thomas (Both 49ers Defensive End), Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman (49ers running backs), George Kittle (49ers Tight End), Saquon Barkley (Giants running back), Drew Lock (Broncos Quarterback), Cam Akers (Rams running back), Anthony Barr (Vikings Linebacker), Takk McKinley (Falcons Defensive End), David Montgomery (Bears running back), and Breshad Perriman (Dolphins wide receiver).
Moving on to the week 2 prediction updates. So, I picked the Rams to beat the Eagles 33-20, but the actual score was 37-19 Rams. I picked the Cowboys to beat the Falcons 34-24, but the actual score was a high scoring game 40-39 Cowboys after the Falcons blew another big lead like they did in the super bowl against the Patriots. I picked the Steelers to beat the Broncos 24-17, but the actual score was 26-21 Steelers. I picked the Cardinals to beat the Washington Football Team 35-17, but the actual score was 30-15 Cardinals. I picked the Patriots to beat the Seahawks 37-34 in a shootout, but the actual score was 35-30 Seahawks, and the last game is that I picked the Saints to beat the Raiders 38-24, but the actual score was 34-24 Raiders as they proved me wrong on Monday night. With that being said, I got 4 out of 6!
Now let’s move on to the Week 3 predictions. So, I will predict the 49ers @ Giants game. Now, the 49ers have so many injuries piling up on them and a lot of them are out for tomorrow’s game which that includes George Kittle, Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, Jimmy Garoppolo, and defensive ends Nick Bosa, and Solomon Thomas are both out for the season, and the Giants running back Saquon Barkley is also out for the season. The 49ers are 4-20 when Nick Mullens is the starter which is interesting and they are 20-4 when their starting quarterback is starting. I think I am going to give the Giants an edge here because I just think that they might be a little better since the injuries of the 49ers pile up. I give the Giants a win 21-20 over the 49ers. Next, I am going to predict the Cowboys @ Seahawks game. Both of these teams are coming off a win last week. I think the Seahawks might win against Dallas because the defense of the Cowboys is not really good even with Everson Griffin a defensive end is on the team and Russell will just be Russell as he always is. I give a Seahawks a win 36-31 win over the Cowboys. Maybe the Cowboys can prove me wrong like the Raiders did, but not tomorrow unfortunably. Next, I will predict the Rams @ Bills game. I will give the Bills the edge at home 27-24 over the Rams. The Bills are going to be a really good team this year. Next, I will predict the Lions @ Cardinals game. The Lions team is a mess right now and the Cardinals are really hot right now. The Lions passing game is pretty good with good wide receivers such as Kenny Golliday, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola. The Cardinals stadium will have some fans, but no more than 750 people in there. They also have a great running back Adrian Peterson who can run hard and break some tackles. On the defense though, oh my goodness! Their rushing defense is so awful this year as they cannot stop the run. Yes, I will pick the Cardinals to win this game by a little high scoring game 41-27 over the Lions. Kyler Murray and the offense will continue to use the no tempo offense and keep the defense of the Lions gassed. Next game, I will predict the Buccaneers and the Broncos game. I think the Buccaneers may come up on top on the Broncos 29-24. Next game, I will predict the Packers @ Saints game. I actually might go with the Packers on a high scoring game 43-40 over the Saints. Last, I will predict the greatest teams in the AFC the Ravens and the Chiefs. One of the most dangerous offenses in the league right now! I will say that the Ravens will come out on top with a shootout 40-37 over the Chiefs almost like the Chiefs @ the Rams game a couple of seasons ago.
What do you guys think about these predictions? I would like to hear some comments or thoughts. As always, Stay tuned for Week 3 prediction updates!
