Dallas Cowboys Vs Philadelphia Eagles
You Have To Think The Season Comes Down To This Matchup For The Cowboys Against Bitter Division Rival The Eagles. The Cowboys won’t have a Dak Prescott statement to roll in on the boys who have lost their quarterback for the next couple of weeks with a hamstring injury. Enter Backup Cooper Rush with former third overall pick Trey Lance in support. Rush has Held The Backup position For The Cowboys For Several Years With 27 Games Of Experience Behind. He’s Capable
but He’s Facing For More Than the Eagle's Secondary Giving Up Just an 82.3 Passer Rating To Opposing Passers, Rookie Corner Quinton Mitchell Coming Into the Game Having Allowed Just 8 Catches In His Pass Four Games, And The Other Rookie Cooper Dejean Cooper Amongst The Best Corners In Pass Coverage. The Cowboys Added Reinforcements To The Outside With Forme Jonathan Mingo An Unproven Up High Side Target To Join The Cowboys. Cowboys Number One Receiver Ceedee Lamb Comes In Off Of A Quiet Outing But He’s Still Top Ten Receiving Yards, Yards Per Route Run But Converts Just 45.5% Of His Targets Into Catches. The Eagles' Offense Looked Superb Against The Jags' Defense, They clicking as A Top Five Unit in The League. AJ Brown Looks Good To Go For The Eagles But Wideout Devonta Smith May Emerge As The Team One In The Game. The Cowboys Have One Of The Worse Passing Defenses In Football And This One Could Get Ugly.
Buccaneers Vs. 49ers
Over The First Quarter Of The Season, The Bucs Stood As One Of The Best Teams In Football Still Owners Of The Only Loss For The Detroit Lions But The Club Has Hit A Turn For The Worse, losers Three Straight, Two Straight One Possession Losses. The Offense Remains One Of The Most Potent In The League, Fifth In EPA Per Play. Baker Mayfield Has Completed 71.4% Of His Passes But He’s Racking Up Interceptions With 7 Over His Last Four Games Although He Stays Clean Versus Kansas City Those Interceptions Have Cost The Bucs A Shot At A Better Record. The Buc's defense is one of the worst in the league, especially against the pass. The Bucs have given up the third most passing yards in the season and lost two overtime games on late passing touchdowns—A massive difference in their record. The Niners Enter Week 10 Of The Team Bye Week They Had Some Time To Fix Their Defensive Lapses But They’re Back In The Top Ten Against The Pass But Working On Generating Pressure Consistently. The Offense For The Niners Remains A Constant Threat To Explode. This Season The Offense Has Relied More On Brock Purdy To Generate Offense He’s Amongst The Top Passer In completed Air yards Whereas Where The Niners Used To Rank amongst The Best Yards After Catching Purdy Or Shanahan’s Offense Has Evolved As Passers To Put More Of The Offenses Production On His Arm and The 49ers Come Out With The Sixth best Drop Back Offense. The Niners Could Also Get Action From Pro Runningback Christian McCaffrey Who Could
MAKE His Season Debut In Week 10 Coming Off A Series Of Injuries As The Niners Look To Make Another Run At A Super Bowl.
Broncos Vs Chiefs
The Broncos' First Test Against A Championship Contending Went Bad Real Early As The Broncos Got Posted By The Ravens. The Broncos' Number Two Defense Had No Chance of Handling The Number Offense In Football now Denver Gets An Easier Offense But A Tougher Opponent In Patrick Mahomes The Man Who “Owns” the Denver Broncos. Mahomes stands 12-1 Versus The Broncos All Time with The First Loss Coming Last season. Anyone Stating The Chiefs Haven’t Played Like The Offense Of The Past Has Gotten “Cliche” Patrick Mahomes Wins And Passes With The Same Efficacy. Mahomes Comes Sixth QBR on The Season And Delivered The Final Touchdown Blow To The Buccaneers In Overtime. Kansas City Runs The Most Plays In Football To Make For The Loss in Explosive Plays And To Open The Door For All Of Kansas City's Playmakers To Fill A Role On The Offense. The Chiefs Have 17 Players With At Least One Reception and 8 Players With At Least 100 yards Receiving On The Season With Patrick “… commanding an offense that slowly squeezes its opponents to death with short completions”. The Denver Defense Has Kept Passing Attacks In Check Despite The Punishment Lamar Jackson Deliver Denver Still Holds Most Passing Offenses In check Under 200 Yards A Game And Yes They Struggled to Bring Lamar But The Defensive Line Still Comes In Second In Pressure and Only Giving Up 1.2 Touchdowns A Game. The Broncos' Offense Scored Just Ten Points With Bo Nix Catching The Teams Only Touchdown And They’ll Need More To Help Stay A Foot With The Chiefs Methodical Attack. The Chiefs' Defense Comes In 7th In Yards per Play Allowed. Trent McDuffie And The Secondary Will Have To Deal With those Big Condor-Like Receivers The Broncos Have On The Outside Starting With Cortland Sutton. If this Game Came Down To The Wire The Chiefs Score More Than 9 Points In The fourth quarter Kansas City Could Outlast The Broncos In This One.
Texans Vs. Lions
With The Texans Still Reeling Somewhat From A Tough Loss To The Jets The Schedule Gets No More Brutal Than The Detroit Lions. The Lions Don’t Have The Most Vaunted Offense In FOOTBALL By Metrics But they’re The Best Offense In Football. The Lions have more touchdowns than incompletions in the passing game and a run game that truthfully looks scarier than any football, with the way they attack defenses from a variety of angles. The Texans' Secondary gave three Second Half Touchdowns To Aaron Rodgers But Didn’t Exactly Play Poorly. The Texans Batted Multiple Passes, Come In Second In The League In That Category, and Held Rodgers To A 0.4% CPOE Despite A Handful Of Big Plays That Cost Houston The Game. The Texans Give Up The Tenth Worse Opposing Passer Rating At 84.5, The Lowest Net yards Per pass The Defense Can Hold Its Weight even If This Unit Hasn’t Faced A Team Like The Lions. Texans Pass Defense Also Have The Problem Stated When They Give Up The Opposing Usually Score. The Texan's defense Has The Highest Touchdown Percentage In Football(6.9), Not A Good Stat To Boost The Efficiency Of The Lions. The Texans Offense Has Produced Reasons For Concern. The Offense Never Got Off To A Good Start This Season And With The Loss Of Nico Collins, The Team Has Dropped From 14th To 22nd In Dropback Success Rate. Collins Still Hasn't Return Off Of IT With a Hamstring And Projects To Miss His Fifth Straight Game. The Detroit Defense Comes In Ranked Seventh Overall And just Added Push Rusher, Zadarius Smith. If The Lions Have An Achilles Heel, They Struggle At Containing explosive Plays In Pass GaME ranking Near The Bottom In Defending 20 plus Yard Plays. Houston’s Defense Will Have To Keep This One Close To Give Stroud and The Offense Any Chance Of Making This A Contest.
Colts Vs. Bills
Joe Flacco’s First Attempt As The Colts’s Future Interim Quarterback Of The Indianapolis Colts Didn’t Get Off To A Great Start. Even For The Worst, We’ve Seen Of Flacco Over His Long Career He’s Become Something Of A Folk Hero For His Ability To Takeover Offenses On Short Notices And Pilot Teams To Playoffs But His (-0.30) EPA Didn’t impress Anything Close To That Notion. Some Of His Old Habits Like Forcing Passes Betrayed Him and He Doesn’t Bring The Threat Of Mobility That Anthony Richardson Would But the Colts Will Stick With Flacco. The Troubles Do Not Get Any Easier Facing A Capable Buffalo Defense Coming In Ranked 12th Overall with an 87.7 Passer Rating. Opponents Have Gotten The Better Of The Bills On The Ground(4.8 per Carry) and the Colts Have A Good Back In Jonathan Taylor Maybe The Offensive Game Plan Leans In On The Colts' Run Game. The Bills also possess a Strong Run Game With James Cooks Averaging 4.6 and A Career 7 Touchdown. The Colts Defense Gives Up 149.8 Yards Per Game On The Ground, And They also Have Josh Allen To Worry About In The Scramble. The Colts Have Some Of The Best Linebacking Tacklers In The Game But They’ll Have Their Hands Full With Those Two. The Colts Also Rank Near The Bottom In Terms of Pass Defense Allowing 11.1 Yards Per Completion Which Somehow Ranks Just 13th But This Passing attack Still Gestating and Maturing Has Gotten Better Passing Like The Dolphins. The Colts Have An Up Hill Battle To Face To Save Their Season In Week 10.
Chargers Vs Titans
This Chargers-Titans Game Could Get Ugly With two of The Best Total defenses In Football Square Off In A Mtavhup Who Outsome Matters More For One Side, Los Angeles. The Chargers Picturesque Offense Hasn’t Looked Close To “Highlight Factory” Of Pre-Injury Justin Herbert. The Chargers Ranks 16th In Offense, Just 10 Touchdown Passes, One Of The Losses Numbers In Football But Only One Interception back In Week Two Against The Panthers. Herbert Has Played His Cleanest Brand Of Ball Under Jim Harbaugh And Herbert Has Picked Up The Pace throwing For Better Than 200 Plus Yards For Four Straight. The Titans Enter The Week with The Number One Passing defense In terms Of Measurements 6 Yards Per Pass which might suit the Chargers Who’d Prefer To Play At A Slower regimented Pace. Can The Tennessee Offense Still Lead By Mason Rudolph Will Have A Handful With The Newly Crowned Number One Defense Of The Chargers Fresh Off The Demolishing Backup Quarterback Jameis Winston Delivering Six Sacks, And Three Interceptions? The Tennessee Offensive Line Fairs No Better Just 30th In Pass Block Win Rate Leaving A Rough Day Ahead For Rudolph. Herbert Will Have A Tough Day For Himself Facing A Strong Titan’s Pass Rush 8th In Pass Rush Win Rate. The Titans game Serves As The Last Game Against A Losing Team In Football. The Chargers Have A Long Road To Making A Return Appearance In The Playoffs. The Next Games For The Chargers Feature A Team In Playoff Position A Scrumbing For More Real Estate Amongst The Top Six. The Chargers can afford A Slip Up.
Chicago Bears Vs New England Patriots
After A Couple Of 300 Plus Yard Passing Performances Most Analyst Suspected Caleb Williams had Passed His Initial Rookie He’d Hit His Stride As Quarterback The Bears Had Poll Position In The Playoffs And Everything Started To Work. A Bears Offense Fitted With Some Of The Best Offensive Talent In Football. Rookie Leads The Team In Receiving Yards On A team whose Roster Includes two veteran 1000-yard receivers, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. The Shortcomings Fall On Either Caleb Williams or OC Shane Waldron. The Run Has Supported Williams in The Passing Game Either D’andre Swift, 4.0 A Carry This For 63 Yards Per Game. The Bears' Offense Requires Caleb Williams To Make Everything Work Holding The Ball Too Long, missing The Correct Reads Hunting Big Plays On A Team Not Build With big-play receiver Types. The Bears Face The Patriots One Of The Worst Defenses in Football and One Williams and the Offense Can Use To Regain Their Offensive Vision. The Patriots Arrival Welcomes in Fellow Rookie Drake Maye Whose Quickly Scaling The Charts As Passer. Maye threw two interceptions against The Titans But Completed 70% Of His Passes He hasn’t Hit A 70 Or Better Rating As A Passer In Two Games And Ate Four Sacks. The Bears Defense Not The Easiest Foe For Any Quarterback. The Bear has given 11.1 Yards Per reception but the third-lowest passer Rating At 77.2. The Patriot's Running Game won't Alleviate Any Of The Pressure On Maye Their Amongst The Worse In Football. Two Rookie Quarterbacks Face Off In Command Of Their Teams Football Team.
Arizona Cardinals Vs. New York Jets
The Cardinals' Place Atop NFC West Looks Impressive Because No One Picked Them To Lead The Division But The Good Vibes Don’t Mean Safety For The Cardinals As Everyone Below Still Has A Shot To Topple The Leader. The Cardinals Pulled Off A Harrowing Victory over A strong Bears’s Defense They’ll Face A Tougher Test In New York Jets. The Cardinals Offense Takes On Many Forms Last week The Rushing Attack delivered multiple Bludgeoning Blows To the Bears’s Defense This Rushing May Have Spared Head The Attack. The Jets Defense Only Allows 158.2 Passing Attack, 80.7 passer Rating But Teams Have Found Better Success On The Ground 132.6 Rushing Yards Per Game. The Cardinals Can Attack with The Rush From Many Options, Kyler Murray Didn’t Get Involved In The Rush But He’s A Dangerous Option When He Gets An Edge. The Cardinals Operate with bigger Receivers So I Don’t expect Much In The Pass Game As Cardinals Receivers Like Marvin Harrison Jr. Struggle With Getting separation Down(1.8) And The Jets Have Corners that close In On the Receiver Quickly. The Jets Passing Offense Got Three Touchdowns From Aaron Rodgers But Offense Hasn’t Turn The Corner On One Performance. Rodgers Comes In Ranked 22 In QBR 53.2 and A (-4.8) Completion Percentage Over Expected— Quarterbacks Want A Positive Number There. The Jets Get Something Going Against A Defense On The Improve The Cardinals Have Ranked Near The Bottom For Most Of The Year But in The Past Two Weeks they’ve Climb Into The Top Ten Against The Pass In EPA and the Cardinals Have Started Producing Pressure always A Problem For A Quarterback Of Rodgers’ Age. The Cardinals Still Rest Amongst The Bottom Feeders In The League In Terms Of Pressure But Welcome A new Face Line Backer Baron Browning To Help Boost The Rush.
Falcons Vs Saints
The Falcons Have Effectively Locked Up The NFC South Barring An incalculable Collapse They Turn their Attention To The NFC standings and How Far They Can Rise Amongst The Flush Of Competition. The Saints Enter Week 10 Coming Off Of An Embarrassing Loss And Needing To Deliver A Product To The New Orleans Faithful. That Product Will Come Without Head Coach Dennis Allen Who was Fire Last Week. The Saints Enter The weekend With One Of The Worse Passing Defenses In Football And The Falcons Excel At Terrorizing Through The Air. The Saints traded Top Corner Marshon Lattimore This Week, Whom They struggle To Defend the Pass In Tow. The Falcons Will also Face A Tough Schedule After This Bout And Can’t Afford A Slip Against Their Division Foe. The Saints won’t Have Top Receiver Chris Olave When Facing One Of The Toughest Passing Defenses and That Leaves Alvin Kamara To Serve As The Saint's Number One Option Fir Carr.
