Ravens vs Buccaneers
Well,it’s official. No, I’m not talking about the end of Tom and Gisele. I’m talking Bout how it’s officially time to start worrying about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Baltimore Ravens handed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers their 5th straight home loss in their last six games.
The Buccaneers raced out to a 10-3 lead at the half keyed by a 1 yard touchdown run by Leonard Fournette in the 2nd half .
In the second half, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense imposed on a Tampa Bay defense that was ultimately found wanting. Lamar Jackson led drives of 77, 80 and 83 yards. The Ravens did not punt once in the 2nd half.
Tom Brady threw for 325 yards and 1 touchdown. He had a fine game statistically. However, the Ravens put up 231 yards on the Buc defense and won the time of possession battle by nearly 17 minutes.

The Bucs are fortunate that they are in the worst division in football. Nevertheless, the Bucs train is going off the tracks.
Jaguars vs Broncos:
It dosent looking to be getting any better for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Broncos beat the Jaguars 21-17 in London to improve to 3-5.

The Jaguars would put the Broncos in a 10-0 hole after a touchdown pass by Trevor Lawrence to Evan Engram. However, Russell Wilson would shake off the slow start and lead the Broncos to drives of 75 yards and 98 yards.
After the Jaguars took a 17-14 lead, Wilson orchestrated a 7 play, 80 yard game winning drive.
The Jaguars wasted a 24 rush, 156 yards difference by Travis Etienne. The stingy Denver Broncos held to Trevor Lawrence and held him to 2 INTS and less than 150 yards.
Things are getting from bad to worse for the Jags.
Lions vs Dolphins:
Fewer teams can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory quite like the Lions could. In spite of jumping out to a 14-0 lead and a 27-17 lead at halftime, the Lions would blow the lead and lose to the Dolphins 31-27.
As predicted, the dynamic tandem of Tyriek Hill and Jaylen Waddle would wreak havoc on the Lions secondary. Tyriek Hill would have 12 receptions for 188 yards while Jaylen Waddle has 8 receptions for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Tua feels like his old self again as he threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns. The Dolphins now improve to 5-3.

Predictions:
Dolphins vs Bears:
Now that the Miami offense seems to be clicking on all cylinders again, they should continue their momentum against a Bears team who was shredded by the Cowboys offense this past week. The Bears offense wont win a shootout with anyone, especially not the Dolphins.
Dolphins will beat the Bears 35-17.
.
Raiders vs Jaguars:
This matchup will not wet the appetite of most football fans. Both teams are struggling mightily. In particular, the Raiders are underachieving and Josh McDaniels seat is hotter than 100 degree weather.
The Jaguars cannot seem to put together a consistent game together on either end. This will be a close game, but the Jaguars tend to lose close games. I feel the Raiders will be fueled by the criticism that they will undoubtedly receive this week.
The Raiders will beat the Jaguars 23-20.
Rams vs Buccaneers
This is a battle between the last 2 winners of the Lombardi Trophy. However, both teams are playing at a much lower level than they were in their championship years. The Rams have a clear case of the Super Bowl hangover. On top of that, Cooper Kupp’s injury against the 49ers invites more questions for an offense that just simply isn’t measuring up. The Buccaneers are having their own woes. However, Brady did put up solid numbers and I feel that the Rams present a favorable matchup for him. I just can’t imagine that the Buc’s losing streak is going to continue. This game is a “put up or shut up” game for both teams.
I think Brady and the Bucs will pull it off.
The Buccaneers will beat the Rams 24-17.
