Let’s dive into the questions and my predictions under.
1. Which WR can have the MOST RECEIVING YARDS?
A.J. Brown, Ja’Marr Chase, Brian Thomas Jr., Amari Cooper
Sheesh. 4 stud receivers to select from. Chase is among the finest receivers within the recreation, however solely has two 100-yard receiving video games on the season. Is it time for him to kick it into gear? The Bengals want each win they’ll get, as they intention to get again to .500 and above. Chase should see the ball lots as a way to spearhead that resurgence.
Prediction: Ja’Marr Chase
2. Order the groups by who will rating the MOST POINTS (highest to lowest):
Falcons, Buccaneers, Packers, Jaguars
Inexperienced Bay is considered one of six groups to common over 380 complete yards per recreation, and considered one of seven groups to common over 26 factors. The Jags are permitting 376.4 yards and 27.7 factors. You are able to do the maths on how that recreation will go. Falcons-Bucs is attention-grabbing as a result of we simply cannot know what to anticipate with Tampa lacking each Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Nonetheless, I nonetheless just like the Bucs to win.
Prediction: Packers, Buccaneers, Falcons, Jaguars
3. Which RB can have the MOST RUSHING YARDS?
Jahmyr Gibbs, James Conner, Bijan Robinson, Kenneth Walker III
Tampa Bay gave up 244 dashing yards to Baltimore final week. And this week, the Bucs will likely be with out each of their star receivers, which suggests they’ll wrestle on offense. The Falcons have not misplaced on the street, and after they confronted the Bucs in Week 5, Robinson solely had 61 dashing yards on 12 carries, however averaged 5.1 yards per carry. If the Falcons can dominate the time of possession, possibly he’ll see the ball much more.
Prediction: Bijan Robinson
4. Which crew offense can have the MOST TOTAL YARDS (dashing + receiving)?
Lions, Packers, Falcons, Seahawks
The Lions offense is the second-best within the league (411.8 yards per recreation), however the Titans protection it faces is the very best within the league (272.2 yards per recreation allowed). The Falcons get an injured and middling Bucs squad, however division video games can get wonky. A Packers squad that may run and cross will get a foul Jaguars protection in Week 8, with Inexperienced Bay coming off of an enormous win over the Texans.
Prediction: Packers
5. Order the next by who can have the MOST PASSING YARDS (highest to lowest):
Justin Herbert, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray, Trevor Lawrence
Herbert has seen his passing yards and passing makes an attempt rise each week relationship again to Week 3, as he threw for a season-high 349 yards on 39 makes an attempt this previous week. With the Chargers now sitting at 3-3, it seems they could start to lean on their franchise QB much more as they try to stay in playoff competition, with 4 winnable video games over the following 4 weeks (Saints, Browns, Titans and Bengals).
Prediction: Justin Herbert
6. What would be the consequence of this recreation?
Payments win by 3 factors or extra OR Seahawks win, tie or lose by 2 factors or fewer
Regardless of an up and down season thus far, I am a Seahawks believer. I picked them to go on the street and beat Atlanta final week, which they did, and this week, I feel they’ll cowl in opposition to the Payments. This is hoping CB Tariq Woolen takes the sphere within the secondary, and somebody can step up on the surface assuming DK Metcalf is out.
Prediction: Seahawks win, tie or lose by 2 factors or fewer
Tiebreaker: What would be the last rating?
Prediction: Payments 24-22
