First up is Tennessee @ Kansas City.
What we saw from Tennessee against Jacksonville in week 17 was more of the Jags choking that Tennessee looking good.
Look for Kareem Hunt to have an explosive day and Tyreek Hill putting up 100 yard game with at least one touchdown.
Kansas City takes this one by more than a touchdown.
Next up we have Atlanta @ Los Angeles Rams
This is a toss up for me. We didn't see star runningback, and probable MVP, Todd Gurley in week 17. Nor did we see starting QB Jarod Goff. Does this extra bye week throw them off their game this week? My guess is no. Look for Gurley to continue his domination in this one but I do not expect another 4 touchdown game against the strong Atlanta Defense.
On the other side of this one, what we have to look for is Devonta Freeman's injury that kept him out of Tuesday's practice. If he misses any more this week or is limited Atlanta may be in for a shortcoming in the RB department.
With a stingy passing Rams D, I do not see Julio Jones, injury to ankle and ribs, being the determining factor in saturdays game.
This is a close call but I will got with the rested Los Angeles Rams in this one with less than a touchdown seperating the two.
Buffalo @ Jacksonville
Buffalo was at Miami last week and showed they could do what New England and Pittsburgh just could not do. Win!
They match up well against the 2nd ranked defense in Jacksonville. McCoy did sprain his ankle in Sunday's victory but I believe he will be a game time go. Which should match up well with Jacksonville Rushing Defense ranked 22nd in the league.
Jacksonville, Blake Bortles struggled against Titans pass defense that ranked 25th in the league. I wasn't impressed with the showing. It was sloppy the entire game and was almost hard to watch. In order for Jacksonville to win they have to get the rock to Leonard Fournette and feed it to him for the entire game. He is the game changer.
With that said, Buffalo clearly has momentum coming into this game and I cannot trust Blake Bortles after that showing on Sunday. Buffalo wins.
Finally we have Carolina @ New Orleans.
This should be the highest scoring game of the week.
I'll start with New Orleans, Kamara and Ingram, the dynamic duo coming out of the backfield will, once again, wreak havoc on the Panthers. Could they both have 100+ yard games? I believe so, and with multiple touchdowns each as well.
Carolina will have to trust that Cam Newton doesnt lose his composure too early or this one will get ugly. Watch for Superman to be not so super in the second half.
New Orleans wins by 10+
