NFL Predictions Week 4, 2014

Week 4

RECORD: 17-15

Bye teams: Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, St. Louis Rams

Thursday, Sept. 25

New York Giants vs. Washington Redskins, 8:25 p.m.

Giants - Giants come off a big win over the Texans, looks like they've finally got that offence to do something. Redskins fell last week, making their standing 1-2.

Sunday, Sept. 28

Miami Dolphins vs. Oakland Raiders (London), 1 p.m.

Dolphins - after impressing in their fist week, the Dolphins haven't shown much of that spirit. Raiders meanwhile have haven't shown anything at all despite holding the Patriots to 16 points last week.

MATCH OF THE WEEK

Green Bay Packers vs. Chicago Bears, 1 p.m.

Packers - Bears might have a shot at this one seeing as though they beat the 49ers.

Buffalo Bills vs. Houston Texans, 1 p.m.

Bills - Texans looked like pants against the Giants last week. Come on.

Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.

Colts - Andrew Luck vs Jake Locker

Carolina Panthers vs. Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.

Ravens - Giving Joe Flacco another weapon in the form of Steve Smith (former Panther I might add) is enough to convince me that Baltimore have this one.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m.

Steelers - Pittsburgh are playing well. Bucs are not, pure and simple.

Detroit Lions vs. New York Jets, 1 p.m.

Lions - Jets look awful at the moment, they can't get anything going. I'd be surprised if the Lions don't give every team in the league a good shot.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m.

Chargers - Much and all as I dislike the Chargers and Rivers, I think they will probably take the Jags who have looked pretty bad.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Minnesota Vikings, 4:25 p.m.

Falcons 

Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco 49ers, 4:25 p.m.

49ers

New Orleans Saints vs. Dallas Cowboys, 8:30 p.m.

Saints

Monday, Sept. 29

New England Patriots vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 8:30 p.m.

Patriots

NFL Predictions Week 3, 2014

Week 3

Current Record: 6-10

Thursday, Sept. 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 8:25 p.m.

Falcons - Atlanta come off a bad week losing to the Bengals. Chances are they rally and beat the 0-2 Bucs.

Sunday, Sept. 21

San Diego Chargers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.

Bills - Chargers won against a lacklustre Seahawks last week. Bills have been consistent.

Dallas Cowboys vs. St. Louis Rams, 1 p.m.

Cowboys - God I detest the Cowboys, but they're better than the Rams. Let's hope they activate Michael Sam and he gets to show St. Louis what they missed out on.

Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 1 p.m.

Eagles - Redskins have lost RGIII, Cousins has stepped in but will he be able to beat the 2-0 Eagles? I doubt it.

Houston Texans vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m.

Giants - Two Texans wins have been against mediocre teams so I don't think the stats speak in their favour. The Giants meanwhile have lost against two teams that look set to show some serious playoff contention this week. Manning troubles aside, I think Coughlin and Co. can get it done this week.

Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints, 1 p.m.

Saints - Vikings have had a crushing defeat by the Patriots, while beating the Rams in week 1. Saints might be 0-2 but they've been close enough games. I expect Brees to put on a show.

Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals, 1 p.m.

Bengals - They've beaten the Ravens and the Falcons. The Titans should be an easy enough game for them.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m.

Ravens - Got to go with your head on this one. The poor Browns have a win with Hoyer meaning that Manziel remains benched for the time being. The Ravens looked steady and seem to have rallied in the face of controversy regarding Ray Rice. 

Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions, 1 p.m.

Packers - Packers will destroy the Lions

Indianapolis Colts vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 p.m.

Colts - Andrew Luck.

Oakland Raiders vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m.

Patriots - Do I even need a reason?

San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals, 4:05 p.m.

49ers - Cardinals have looked strong in so far but I think the 49ers will push for the win.

MATCH OF THE WEEK

Denver Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m.

Broncos - It's a Super Bowl rematch and I think Peyton will be firing on all cylinders. 

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins, 4:25 p.m.

Dolphins - looked great in their first game, would be surprised if they were steam rolled at home.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Carolina Panthers, 8:30 p.m.

Steelers - Steelers might have lost against the Ravens but they won't be caught napping against the Panthers

Monday, Sept. 22

Chicago Bears vs. New York Jets, 8:30 p.m.

Bears

NFL Predictions Week 2, 2014

In terms of predictions, Week 1 was a bit of a disaster this year. Luckily I didn't get it online in time so I've saved myself at least some embarrassment. Here are my predictions for Week 2, 2014.

Week 2

Thursday, Sept. 11

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens, 8:25 p.m.

Steelers - Looked decent enough against the Browns while the Ravens struggled in Week 1.

Sunday, Sept. 14

Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.

Dolphins - Both teams did a number last week with wins over the Patriots and the Bears respectively. Fins look well, I don't think the Bills are great this year.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Washington Redskins, 1 p.m.

Jaguars - I love RGIII as much as the next guy, but Bortles looked solid last week. Don't be surprised if this is a tight game.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Tennessee Titans, 1 p.m.

Titans - The Cowgirls didn't have much to show on their last outing. Titans roll on to 2-0

Arizona Cardinals vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m.

 Originally Cardinals but Giants since Palmer got injured- It hurts me to say this, but it could be time for Manning and Coughlin to go. Eli is just having too many problems,

New England Patriots vs. Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m.

Patriots - Even though they lost last week, the Pats looked strong in a number of areas. Brady needs to settle down a little and they'll have this game.

New Orleans Saints vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m.

Saints - Browns looked strong against the Steelers. I wouldn't mind a Browns victory, but I think the Saints have their number.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Cincinnati Bengals, 1 p.m.

Bengals - I've said it before, I'll say it again - this Bengals team will see a Super Bowl in the next few years.

Detroit Lions vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m.

Lions - They dominated the Giants in practically every aspect of the game on Monday. Stafford's on fire - it'll be a firing range on Sunday night.

St. Louis Rams vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 4:05 p.m.

Bucs - This isn't a game that particularly interests me. Bucs should have the Rams even though they have great depth on D.

Seattle Seahawks vs. San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m.

Seahawks - I don't think anyone can stop them right now.

Houston Texans vs. Oakland Raiders, 4:25 p.m.

Texans - Anyone remember when the Texans made the playoffs? It seems like a long time ago now, but it's even longer since the Raiders were there.

New York Jets vs. Green Bay Packers, 4:25 p.m.

Packers - Come on against the Jets? What were you expecting me to say?

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos, 4:25 p.m.

Broncos - Chiefs may have gone 9-0 last year but it was Manning's Broncos that made the Super Bowl. He's on form and this could be another big year for him.

Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers, 8:30 p.m.

49ers - But don't expect a walkover. The Bears have a lot to prove after a shakey Week 1.

Monday, Sept. 15

MATCH OF THE WEEK:

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Indianapolis Colts, 8:30 p.m.

Eagles - As much as I hate to say it, they're probably the best team in the NFC East at the moment.
