NFL Preview–Week 10
Chargers…Bye Week…Team is (2-7)…with 5-game losing streak-worst in Mike McCoy’s career…Chargers have lost 10-of-13 heading into bye week….Bolts have only 10-of-22 starters left on field from opening day game in September….After the bye, 2-games with Denver, 2-games with Kansas City and roadtrip to Oakland.
Buffalo-Jets…Battle of Empire State…Bills doing all the talking…Jets just get ready….Massive defensive struggle looming….Bills playing great team defense-to go after Jets QB-Ryan Fitzpatrick…Jets front seven to try to contain and confuse Buffalo QB-Tyrod Taylor…Low scoring field goal battle likely.
Colts-Baltimore…Andrew Luck gone with lacerated kidney-internal bleeding…Matt Hassleback goes back into starting lineup….Ravens Joe Flacco to attack shakey Indy secondary.
Lions-Green Bay…Packers now in must win mode having dropped two in a row….Green Bay defense looks worn out…Here comes Matt Stafford wearing his ‘Mad Bomber’ cape again.
Browns-Steelers….Johnny Manziel likely back to the bench-completing only 53-percent of his throws…Pittsburgh without Ben Roethlisberger and Le’Veon Bell and now with ailing RB-De Angelo Williams really hurting on offense…This will be field goal game.
Dolphins-Eagles…Miami interim coach Dan Campbell won first two games playing angry power-ball…Since then Miami has been mauled…Philadelphia ready to move back into lst place in East…playing tougher defense and moving ball better.
Bears-Rams…Jay Cutler looks more under control than he has in years…Chicago playing more controlled offense with less errors…Still very young on defense….Rams need QB-Nick Foles to make more plays down field to take workload off RB-Todd Gurley.
Cowboys-Bucs…Who would have thought a Jerry Jones team would have a 6-game losing streak….Now a chance for Bucs rookie QB-Jameis Winston to take team to next level…Has made strides last three weeks-turnovers and sacks are down…Seems to be improving…now gets big test but at home.
Carolina-Titans…Marcus Mariota running a more open offense coming off nice win last week, but this is unbeaten Carolina with fierce defensive front seven…Cam Newton having marvelous leadership season as Panthers try to get to (9-0).
Saints-Redskins…Drew Brees carrying New Orleans….Redskins just don’t have enough talent…Injuries on offensive-defenseive front.
Vikings-Oakland….Huge test for QB-Ted Bridgewater, if he is cleared from minor concussion…Huge test for Raiders defense against Adrian Peterson…Derek Carr (11TD-1 Int) in last 3-Raiders games as Oakland goes for 5th win of season.
Chiefs-Broncos…Both teams have flaws….Peyton Manning not throwing down the field as much….Run game sometime good-sometimes bad….Alex Smith being asked to do so much-ran the ball last week…But this is Broncos defense which won’t have injured DeMarcus Ware and suspended Aqib Talib…Might there be an upset here?
Patriots-Giants….All you need to know is New England (8-0)…Tom Brady (22TD-2Int) this season….Eli Manning does not have enought bullets in the gun to fight the fight.
Arizona-Seattle…Russell Wilson has been sacked 28X-otherwise he makes all the plays…so does Cardinals QB-Carson Palmer (20TD)….Which RB has breakout game, Marshawn Lynch or Chris Johnson (4.8YPC)…..Which defense slows down which quarterback…Should be a dandy.
Bengals-Houston….Andy Dalton should take Cincinnati to (9-0)….This team is for real…Texans don’t have any help for JJ Watt and don’t have much on offense either.
