By Jacob Sanders
Well. Coming into this week, it's only been 3 games, but we really know nothing outside of the Rams looking like one of the best teams. They actually took care of business this last Thursday Night which ruined by upset pick of the Vikings. Thus, no Upset of the Week! pick because that was my upset of the week pick. Didn't workout.....Onward to the picks!
Sanders went 6-10 last week putting him to 22-24-2
As I said above, I lost my Upset of the Week prediction of Vikings over the Rams
Rams won 38-31
Miami Dolphins vs New England Patriots
Okay. I refuse to believe the Patriots lose 3 games in a row. This has nothing to do with the fact i don't believe in the Dolphins. In fact, if the Dolphins won this game here, I would firmly believe they are one of the sneakiest teams in the NFL. They play mistake free offense with a defense that keeps opposing offenses off the field. That's winning football. It's not flashy. It's not pretty. It's also not messy and we've seen plenty of teams win this way. Back to the Patriots though, they have an incredible track record in Foxborough and the Dolphins....well....don't. Keeping history in mind, the Patriots are my pick here.
Dolphins 17 Patriots 20
Philadelphia Eagles vs Tennessee Titans
This will be a tougher out than some may think. As much as it seems like the Eagles will just run through the Titans here, the Titans have a solid defense that can keep them in this game. The question to ask for this game is which offense will be able to score more. Now, that sounds trivial. But in this case, where both defenses don't like to give up points, it's a point that needs to be made. I'll take Carson Wentz's offense over whatever kind of circus show is happening in Tennessee right now.
Eagles 20 Titans 16
Cincinnati Bengals vs Atlanta Falcons
I still love this Bengals team. Andy Dalton throwing multiple picks in a game? That I don't love. In fact, during the second half of the Baltimore game and all of last week against the Panthers, this Bengals offense struggled without Mixon. Sounds like a problem to me. They'll continue against a young Atlanta defense without Mixon. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'll trust Ryan and Julio in a shoot out over Dalton and AJ.
Bengals 19 Falcons 24
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Chicago Bears
Well. I really want to pick the Bucs here. They made Monday Night very interesting against the Steelers in the second half of the game. However, what made Fitzmagic(tragic?) struggle for much of the first half of the game was that the pass rush was in his face. Enter Khalil Mack, a man who is making the Raiders look more and more foolish every game for trading him away. He'll be in Fitzpatrick's face all game. This leads me to think we'll see more Fitztragic than Fitzmagic. However, Trubisky isn't something to be scared of either. The better defense will win this game. I'm picking the defense with Khalil Mack on it.
Bucs 16 Bears 17
Detroit Lions vs Dallas Cowboys
Look. This Cowboys offense is awful. Just awful. I can't say anything more about it. Moving on. The Detroit Lions offense? Not awful. In fact, a little birdie told me Kerryon Johnson looks pretty good. He should continue morphing into a start for the Lions this weekend. When the opponents offense can never stay on the field, it's easy to just feed your RB the ball to eat the game away. Lions will do just that.
Lions 21 Cowboys 10
Buffalo Bills vs Green Bay Packers
Is it possible for the Bills to win two games in a row? Of course it is. Is it probable? Not at all. Count me as one of the guys who thinks that the Vikings getting decimated was an anomaly. The Packers though, aren't necessarily shining stars themselves. The roughing the passer woes are rather ironic I must say. However, one or two of those penalties shouldn't make a team with playoff aspirations only have one win after 3 weeks. Yet here we are. There's more to Rodgers injury than we probably know as well. For now though, if I had to pick between Josh Allen and Rodgers? Well....I don't even need to justify who I'm picking.
Bills 13 Packers 24
Houston Texans vs Indianapolis Colts
My god. The Texans are 0-3. Something I didn't even think would happen. It kind of blows my mind with the talent that the Texans have, that they have an 0-3 record. Yet here we are. The Colts, on the other hand, are inferior in talent, and are 1-2 with a defense that has, surprisingly, kept them in games. At home, I expect the same, especially against a winless Texans team. The biggest question is how is Andrew Luck's arm doing. It's concerning that Brissett came out for the Hail Mary and not Andrew Luck.
Texans 14 Colts 17
New York Jets vs Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jets are in trouble and in danger of starting 1-3. Sam Darnold has not looked all that bad. However, he hasn't necessarily shined either with the Jets one win coming from a dominant defensive effort. Speaking of dominant defense effort, they play the Jaguars this weekend. Yikes. This is another game of inept offenses playing each other and you have to ask yourself "Well which defense is going to win?" Ummm. The Super Bowl contending defense.
Jets 10 Jaguars 14
Seattle Seahawks vs Arizona Cardinals
Josh Rosen time! About.....2 weeks late but better late than never I guess. We'll get a taste of seeing what the rookie can do with a full week's worth of practice reps on the team. However, it's going to come against a division rival. A division rival who's got a top 5 quarterback. Really though, it feels like that's all Seattle has. Just Russel Wilson. The Legion of Whom had a great game last week but can they keep it up all season? Well, this is a week-by-week League. And they should be able to take advantage of a rookie QB.
Fun fact: I'll be at this game. My first NFL game ever. I'm cheering for the home team even if I don't think they'll win.
Seahawks 24 Cardinals 14
Cleveland Browns vs Oakland Raiders
Oh boy oh boy oh boy. BAKER MAYFIIIIIIEEEEEEELLLLDDD. Well. That dude's gonna be under center. And he's got a great advantage in getting into a rhythm after a comeback win against the Jets. He gets to face the Raiders, a team who has downright looked really dumb for getting rid of their key players. It's only 3 weeks in, but it's very clear the Raiders are in rebuilding mode which is sad for the city of Oakland who wanted to see a championship before the team left for Vegas. But, this is what happens when you trade away a generational player for a POTENTIAL future. Notice how I haven't spoken anything about the Raiders. It's because I have no idea what to think right now. As far as I'm concerned, the Jon Gruden projects needs 3 years before we see it rolling. And it's year 1.....
Browns 23 Raiders 14
San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Chargers
Keeping this one short. The 49ers lost their franchise QB. CJ Beathard is the backup. The Chargers have Philip Rivers, Melvin Gordon, Melvin Ingram, etc. That's literally enough to convince you the 49ers aren't winning this game.
49ers 10 Chargers 28
New Orleans Saints vs New York Giants
If there was ever a time for the Saints to get into a defensive groove, this is the game. The Giants offensive line is awful and one that NEEDS to be taken advantage of. If not though, you're looking at picking who wins the higher scoring affair. The Drew Brees led Saints or the Eli Manning led Giants. While the Giants can certainly close out the game with Saquon, it's hard to imagine Brees just letting the opposing offense keep a lead. Giving the edge to the Saints.
Saints 31 Giants 20
Baltimore Ravens vs Pittsburgh Steelers
This game is huge. Immensely. The Baltimore Ravens can make the NFL take notice that these aren't the same Ravens and are here to make some noise with a 3-1 one start. The flipside is that the Steelers need to win this game to show everyone they're still a serious team. Nevermind this is one of the greatest rivalries in the NFL or that it's a Sunday Night Divisional game. This is a statement game to be made by both teams. It's the test of Baltimore's second half shutout defense vs Steelers big play ability offense. History says Antonio Brown will burn the Baltimore secondary. I believe that will happen again. But, it's gonna be close, as usual.
Ravens 30 Steelers 31
Kansas City Chiefs vs Denver Broncos
The Chiefs are an unstoppable getaway freight train. Unbelievable what this offense has done so far. The Broncos, on the other hand, have been getting by with great defensive play. However, Denver has been winning with a mistake prone Keenum under center. If Keenum can just eliminate his mistakes, and the Broncos lean on Lindley, this can become a very interesting game. But if the Chiefs ever get ahead, I don't see them putting on any sort of brakes.
Chiefs 35 Broncos 20

Week 3 NFL Predictions
Week 3 NFL Predictions
By Jacob Sanders
Boy, oh boy. Long time no see folks. It’s been a long time since I’ve last posted on this column here. But hey, I’m back! I would like to apologize to those who asked me if I would continue writing this segment this year and were looking forward to it since Week 1. Truth is, I meant to start by Week 1 but had many other priorities. Since I write all of this for free, I had other things I had to take care of. But now, there is a small window in my schedule each week where I can do what I love and that’s to write about football! Anyway, enough of this. Let’s get right to it!
I would like to say, I’ve kept track of predictions even if I didn’t write them down. So here’s my score after 2 weeks:
Sanders went 9-6-1 last week and 7-8-1 in Week 1 putting him to 16-14-2 on the season.
New York Jets @ Cleveland Browns
This could have been a very intriguing matchup if the Browns had Mayfield as their starter. A look into the possible future of Darnold vs Mayfield would be almost priceless but that isn’t what we are getting. Despite the Browns being winless so far, a lot of that has added up to, what shall we say, bad kicking luck? The Browns have outplayed both the Steelers and Saints and yet neither game ended in the W column. Meanwhile the Jets are sitting at a decent 1-1. However, the Jets are on a short week during an away game with a rookie quarterback. I’m not too sure Darnold, despite being effective will help make up the difference. And, that defensive stomp against the Lions Week 1 seemed to state more of how bad the Lions are than how good this Jets team is. With all that said, the Browns will win their first game in almost 2 years!
Jets 14 Browns 17
New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons
Not gonna lie. If not for some bad coaching decisions by the Browns and a little luck, the Saints would be 0-2. That’s not irregular for this Saints team but it’s also concerning for a team that was supposed to have Super Bowl aspirations. The sputtering of the Falcons offense ever since Shanahan left has continued but they pulled out a gritty win against the Panthers. Conventional wisdom says this is the time when the Saints start picking up. But, it’s in Atlanta and the Falcons are just as desperate for a win. I know it’s only Week 3, but this is a game that could decide the division come Week 16 or 17. It’s that important.
Saints 23 Falcons 26
Denver Broncos vs Baltimore Ravens
The Broncos are 2-0 and the Ravens are 1-1 but who has looked like the better team? In the most non-bias way (remember, I’m a Baltimore fan) I would say Baltimore has shown to be the better team. They obliterated the Bills and almost made a comeback win against the Bengals in a game that Baltimore had no business almost making a comeback in the first place. But Sanders, the Broncnos made a comeback last week. Yes. They sure did…...against the Raiders which is another team seemingly plagued by bad coaching decisions. Look, I picked the Broncos to be 2-0 and I picked them to win their division. But they are the shakiest 2-0 team right now and I have expected more from them. And frankly, the Ravens D at home is going to punish Keenum’s shaky play. I’m not sure the Broncos can overcome that barring Keenum rewinding the clock to last year.
Broncos 17 Ravens 21
Cincinnati Bengals vs Carolina Panthers
Yeah. So. I’ll say it. I’m buying this Bengals team. Their defense has been a swarming unit giving both Andrew Luck and Andy Dalton so much and the offense led by Dalton looks far difference now that there are some playmakers again. Is this team over-achieving? Well. Maybe. But they look far better than everyone was going to give them credit for. Yes, including your hack writer right here. The Panthers? Playing about what we thought. Inconsistent and not quite living up to their potential. Sounds like every year. This could be a statement game for the Panthers if they can beat a rising team at home.If not, well, that’s trouble.
Bengals 24 Panthers 16
New York Giants vs Houston Texans
SPOILER ALERT! THE TEAM WHO LOSES THIS ISN’T MAKING THE PLAYOFFS!!!! That’s not a joke. Both of these teams are 0-2 and starting 0-3 is almost a death sentence that no one wants. Let’s keep this simple. The Giants are a leaky defense and the Giants offensive line prevents the Giants from being able to move the ball even with Barkley and Beckham on the field. The Texans? Well, they looked way better Week 2. They remind me of one those teams that starts to pull a couple wins together to go 2-2, and by then, know what they need to do to win. Watson should lead the team this game at home.
Giants 10 Texans 28
Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars
So everybody may talk about how the JAX defense shutdown Brady and Gronk. But let me ask you. Have you ever heard this guy named Blake Bortles? Man, this guy from a meme of a quarterback to straight dealing. He had an incredible showing last week. And you know what? That’s not an anomoly. A lot of reports said Bortles had improved in training camp over the offseason and looks way better. He’s put it on the field two games in a row now. What’s important is he did it without his star RB in one of those weeks. This Jaguars team may be the best team in the AFC right now, and it’s not even close. Oh wait….but there’s a second team in this game. That’s right. The Titans. Sorry Tennesee. Your team isn’t very good. And frankly, as sad as this is to say, their defense doesn’t match Jacksonville’s and certainly won’t be able to contain Blake Bortles….what a weird thing to type…..
Titans 13 Jaguars 31
San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs
Like what I’m seeing from this 49ers team. A much better win against the Lions and Jimmy G looked much better as well. Matt Breida. Man, what a start to his NFL career he is having. You know who else is having a great start to their carrer? PATRICK. MAHOMES. This kid can ******* play. My excitement can’t be contained. The hype was real and it’s paid off so far. Mahomes makes the Chiefs must-watch tv even if their defense is terrible right now. And that’s just the team KC might be a right now. A team that wins games through their offense hoping their D doesn’t break down often. Feels like Jimmy G and Co won’t be able to keep up with Mahomes and the Crew.
49ers 20 Chiefs 35
Oakland Raiders vs Miami Dolphins
Okay. So. The Raiders just aren’t very good. And they’re visiting a team that quietly started 2-0. You know why the Dolphins are 2-0? They’ve gone back to what gave this franchise hope 2 seasons ago. A bend but don’t break defense and a quarterback who isn’t making mistakes to lose the game. That’s a solid gameplan, eh? Meanwhile, the Raiders are asking telling themselves that it’s hard to find a good pass rusher. Maybe they should ring up the Bears for Khalil Mack. Heard that guy is pretty good.
Raiders 14 Dolphins 20
Buffalo Bills vs Minnesota Vikings
It’s quite possible the Bills stamp themselves as the worst team in the NFL right here. Why? Well. They’re playing the Vikings. Cousins is legit. If you didn’t watch last weeks Packers vs Vikings games. Go watch the highlights. You’re missing out if you don’t. Cousins threw some of the most beautiful balls you will see all season. Overall the talent level is far superior for Minnesota than the Bills and that’s the edge. Also, the Vikigns won’t be having any players retire halfway through the game. There’s that too.
Bills 3 Vikings 27
UPSET OF THE WEEK!
Indianapolis Colts vs Philadelphia Eagles
Carson Wentz is back baby. That’s big news for the Eagles and a big question mark is if the Eagles will instantly look better. Maybe not. The guy hasn’t been on the field for a while. It could take some time. But it’s coming against an unknown Colts team. At first, they looked pretty mediocre against the Bengals but then dropped the Redskins into the pit from the movie 300. I like what i see from Andrew Luck as well. Frankly, I’m not sure what to think about either of these teams going in. And I have to have an upset of the week pick. This looks like the game to go with.
Colts 24 Eagles 20
Green Bay Packers vs Washington Redskins
Let’s get this straight. The Packers are just a better team than the Redskins. They should take care of business on the road. I was hyped for the Redskins after they beat the Cardinals. Then we realized how bad Arizona is and the Redskins got throttled by the Colts. You think the Packers and Co are gonna let the Redskins do much against them? Doubt it.
Packers 28 Redskins 14
Los Angeles Chargers vs Los Angeles Rams
Well. A technical home game for both teams. So no advantage there really. But, I almost wanted to pick the Chargers in an upset. Then I remembered Joey Bosa is winning and realized they need him if they wanna stop Gurley or pressure the Goff. On the flipside, the Rams have all the tools to keep Rivers and Co under duress ALLLLLLLLLLLLL day. So. I’m picking the better defense to make a stop in 4th quarter. Don’t worry, this game should be exciting and a close one.
Chargers 21 Rams 27
Chicago Bears vs Arizona Cardinals
Shortest one of today. Here’s why. Till the Cardinals can MOVE. THE. BALL. with LARRY FITZGERALD AND DAVID JOHNSON on the team, I have nothing to say for this team. The Bears? Holy molllly. Don’t even get me started. I could go on for days about this Bears defense. They’re gonna take advantage of some bad offenses this seasons *shifts eyes to Arizona*. But….Trubisky needs work. There’s a chance he makes the mistake throwing to Peterson and gives Arizona some help. It probably will happen….but….that Bears D…...MAN!
Bears 13 Cardinals 10
Dallas Cowboys vs Seattle Seahawks
Poor Russel Wilson. He IS the Seattle Seahawks. And frankly, even his best efforts couldn’t beat the Bears. That may be the story all season for them. Not good. The Cowboys on the other hand have been a tale of two games. One where they looked awful and couldn’t move the ball. The other where they swarmed Eli Manning and Prescott moved the Ball efficiently enough to win on Sunday night. Which one shows up? Who knows man. Who knows.
Cowboys 17 Seahawks 14
New England Patriots vs Detriot Lions
Ayy. Matt Patricia will be seeing his former team again. And they’ll beat him. Look, the Lions just haven’t looked very good. The Lions are a near mess right now and the Patriots are going to take care of business in Detroit and then move on. That’s what they always do after a loss, right?
Patriots 24 Lions 13
Pittsburgh Steelers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
It’s so foolish for me to buy into the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but I’m going to. This is what the offense was supposed to look like last year. Maybe a change in QB was the answer. Either way, I’m not gonna deny the Bucs O until they screw up. The Steelers remain winless. Drama surrounds them. Bell still isn’t their and Antonio Brown isn’t performing like normal. What does this all mean? The rollercoaster derailing in Steel City. Yep. They’re gonna be winless post Week 3. Yikes.
Steelers 23 Bucs 30
New Orleans Saints vs Atlanta Falcons
Not gonna lie. If not for some bad coaching decisions by the Browns and a little luck, the Saints would be 0-2. That’s not irregular for this Saints team but it’s also concerning for a team that was supposed to have Super Bowl aspirations.
