BYE WEEK: CHIEFS, CHARGERS

THURSDAY NIGHT PREVIEW

RAVENS AT BUCCANEERS – 5:15PM PT/8:15PM ET [PRIME VIDEO]

One side that’s trying to figure out their consistency against the other side that’s trying to figure out their identity. Baltimore has talent and is built for the playoffs and more. Slowly, but surely the run game is veering towards an actual running back and not just Lamar Jackson, just slowly. As for Tom Brady’s Bucs, they are in disarray. The offensive line is struggling, which is making Tom Brady struggle (along with off the field issues), which is making the receivers lose some attention, which is leading to Leonard Fournette’s spotlight against the defense. The Bucs’ defense is doing their best to give the offense some hope, but the injuries are slowly affecting the group. Tom Brady and the offense must find a solution to their woeful offense.
Baltimore has gone back and forth in wins and losses all season. I would usually pick the Bucs because the Ravens should be losing by consistency, but the Bucs are 1-2 at home with continued disappointment on offense. Until they figure it out, they can’t be trusted.

MY PICK: RAVENS

SUNDAY NIGHT PREVIEW

PACKERS AT BILLS – 5:20PM PT/8:20PM ET

All signs point to Buffalo, but I’ll still give the preview. Green Bay has been mum this season. It was expected given that Aaron Rodgers is picky on pass catchers and his best 11 guys, including him. But it looks like he’s also included in that category of “can’t be trust”. There’s talent on this offense that should be better, but it seems more individual than it is a team. There’s not much to say about Buffalo except they’re playing at a high level. They look strong in majority of categories and should win this won for sure. However, if there’s any sliver of hope for Green Bay to upset Buffalo, it all starts with their defense putting them in winning position. Rodgers and Matt LaFleur have 60 game minutes to come up with a solution on offense.

MY PICK: BILLS

MONDAY NIGHT PREVIEW

BENGALS AT BROWNS – 5:15PM PT/8:15PM ET

Joe “Buckets” Burrow and company have won four of their last five games since the first two close losses against Pittsburgh and Dallas. Burrow, Chase, and the defense are humming and are 4-0 when scoring 27 points or more. Cleveland has gone cold with four straight losses after a 2-1 start. It makes you wonder if Brownie the Elf checked out. Whatever the case may be, Cleveland needs to find out why they’re struggling and not finishing games. They are 1-5 in games decided by three points or less. The see of orange should be competitive and it could come down to a one-score situation. As of this moment, Cincy has leverage in that situation.

MY PICK: BENGALS

MY TOTAL: 55
