NFL Week 15 Previews.
Alot Of Big GAmes This Week As Playoff Races Dwindling To Smallest Percentage Points. Who Stays Alive And Who MAkes The Leap Closer To The Top Seven In The Standing. I Only Previewed Five Games I Highlighted For Various Interest Games Like The Bills And Lions Will Get Alot Of Coverage elsewhere.
Panthers Vs Cowboys
Bryce Young Will Look To Continue His Somewhat Hot Streak Against The Dallas Cowboys. He’s Thrown Five Touchdowns To Just Two Picks Not Mention A Positive EPA and CPOE Since Week 9 And The Panthers continue to Come One Good “Tank” Job Away From Knocking One Of These Good Teams Off. since Week Young Has Played Better Than Guys Like CJ Stroud And Caleb Williams Amongst others And ranks Amongst The Best Passers In Big Time Throws Per Game. The Cowboy's Defense Just Gave Up Some Gaudy Numbers To Joe Burrow. Still, He’s A Level Quarterback And Not Bryce Young And Xavier Leggette Won’t Earn Any Jamar Chase Comparisons This Early With His Struggles To Hold On To Passes. The Cowboys Ranks Top In Pressure Rate Something Bryce Has Manage Better In Recent Weeks But His Old Tendencies Could Rare Their Head. The Cowboys Have One Of The worst rushing Defenses Which Could Mean A Big Game For Chubba Hubbard. Cooper Rush Struggled Against Relatively Easy Bengals’s Secondary, The Panthers Frustrated The Eagles In Week 14 Can The Cowboys Passing Game Find The Right Thread As The Panthers Have Ranked Top 10 In Drop back EPA Defense Since Week 10. The Panthers have Look Great In the Week And The Cowboys Could Fall In This Game.
Seahawks Vs. Packers
The Seahawks Face Their First Of Difficult NFC North Teams When The Packers Storm Into Seattle. The Seahawks Cleared The Bar Over The Cardinals In The NFC West Winning Three Straight But Now The Rams Have Emerged As The Closest Threat. Seattle Boosts the Best Passing Defense In Terms Of EPA Per Drop-back In The Pass Four Weeks and Allows a Sub 90 Passer rating. Jordan Love The Packers Quarterback Had A Solid Outing In Light Work Against The Lions But He’s A Big Play Waiting To Happen When He Hits. Love Comes Into The Weekend Sporting The fourth-lowest Target Rate In Football While Sporting One Of The Largest Deep Throw Rate In Football. The Seahawk's defense Doesn’t Defend The Run As Well As pass So Maybe The Packers Lean Into The Run Game With Josh Jacobs Who Scored Twice Last Week In Detroit. The Packers Have A Solid But Spotty Pass Defense Allowing A Little Better Than 90 Passer Rating However The Seahawks Rely Heavily On Yards After Catch Ass Geno Smith Ranks Fifth In The League In Total Yards After Catch The Packers Will Need To Sure Tackle Guys Like Jaxson Smith-Njibga, Tyler Lockett And running back Like Zach Charbonnet And Kenneth Walker. Walker Missed Last Week's Action But The Packers Boost A decent Rushing(4.1 Per carry 7th In The League) Defense Which Could Result In Geno Smith Taking The Onus On Himself To Generate More Offense For His Team.
Chargers Vs Buccaneers
The Buccaneers Have won Three games after Losing Four In a Row And now Control Their Destiny To Win The NFC South Title. Win Out and The Bucs Secure That Season Turnaround and With Three Weeks Remaining The Bucs Final Competitive Bout On Schedule The Chargers. The Chargers Have A Winning Record And A Wild Card Spot But They Haven’t Beaten Any Good Teams Outside Of The Broncos Instead The Chargers ' Five Rank Defense Has Feasted On Lesser Competition. The Chargers Enter Week 15 With a strong Passing Defense, 81.3 Passer Rating, and Best Of All A Top Ten Interception Rate. Baker Mayfield Has Produced MVP Level Numbers His 28 Touchdown Tied For Third In The League, Top 10 In Passer Rating At 101.4, And Third In Pressure to Sack Rate But He’s Second In Interceptions Thrown This Season and He’s Throw Four In The Last Two Games. Chargers Quarterback Justin Herbert Hasn’t Thrown A Pick Since Week 2 But the Chargers average Less Than 200 Yards Per Game with The 15 Ranked Scoring Percentage In Football As The Chargers' passing Can’t Find Consistency Whenever Herbert Doesn’t Miss His Receiver Doesn’t Convert. The Charger Pass Catchers Have A Part In The Offenses Struggles But They’ll Play One Of The Worse Passing Defenses In Football Missing Their Best Player. Tampa’s All-Pro Safety Antoine Winfield Will Miss A Few Weeks As The Bucs Look To Close Out The Season The pass Rush That’s produced 123 Pressures And 35 Sacks Might Have To Step Up To Help Assuage The Difficulties On The Back End Of The Defense. Even When Herbert Creates Opportunities For His Team It’s Up To His Receivers To Secure The Catch Hopeful Number One Target Ladd McConkey Can Go After Missing Week 14 With A Shoulder Injury. The Bucs Also Have A Strong Run Game and The Chargers Give.
Texans Vs Dolphins
Both The Texans And The Dolphins Have A lot Of Their Seasons Resting On This Game But The Dolphins Have To Win To Stay Alive The Texans Have Won Just Two Of Their Last Five Games Which allows the Colts to Peek In On The AFC South Picture. Starting With Houston The Texans’s Offensive Line Won’t Change Before Sunday’s Game So Stroud Has Gotten Sacked 41 Times And Pressured On Nearly 1/3 Of His Dropbacks Which Have Put A Cap On His Offensive Production. All The Blame Doesn’t Fall On Pressure As Stroud Gets a Decent Amount Of Pocket time Continue To Rank Amongst The Top Of The League In Bad Passes and His Receivers Drop The Ball at A Top Ten Rate As Well. Through injuries To Receivers Like Losing Nico Collins For A Stretch, Stefon Diggs For The Year Before He Ever Got His Footing, And The Absence Or Regression Of Wide Receiver Tank Dell, The Texans Haven’t Figure Themselves Out Just Yet On Offense. Joe Mixon Remains Bright But He’s Still Boom Or Bust Getting Explosive Runs The Texans Rank 28th In EPA per Rush and 31 In Success Rate So Despite His Top Ten Statuses In both Explosive Runs(10+ Yards) and Rushing Touchdowns. The Texan's defense Remains A Top Five Unit In EPa Per Play But They’ve to Look Worse In Recent Weeks Nearly Giving Up 300 Passing Yards To Will Levis And Two Late Touchdowns To Mac Jones They’ll Face The Hottest Passing Unit Since Week 9 In Tua And The Dolphins. Since Week Nine Tua Leads all Quarterbacks In EPa Per Play And He’s Completing Nearly 80% Of His Passes. Tua Hasn’t Thrown an interception In the Game And Only Has Four On The Season Compared To 17 Touchdowns. With Texans’s Safety Jalen Pitre Out For The Rest Of The Year Tua’s New Favorite Target Jonnu Smith Might Get Another Big Game. Smith Enters The Week Top Three On The Team In Targets, Touchdowns, and Second In Passer Rating Generated When Targeted. This game Could Come Down To The Final Possession For Either Team.
Steelers Vs Eagles
The In-State Rivals Despite The Passing Revolution The Emerge From Week 15 As The Only Team In FOOTBALL with More Rushing Yards Than Passing Yards. The Eagles Serve As That Team Who Kept Their Brick Phone Despite Waves Of Technological Advancements. Of Course, When You Have A Back Like Saquon Barkley A Running back In The MVP conversation For The First Time In Years You Want to Exhaust His 6.1 Yards Per Carry Which Leads The League. Unlike Most Teams, The Steelers Defense Defends The Run Quite Well Allowing Less Than 95 Yards A Game On The Ground 4.1 A Carry. The Steelers Defense Comes in Ranked Top Five In EpA Per Play Allowed With The Eagles Not Far Behind At Seven. Even If The Eagles Don’t Pass the Ball As Say Their Top Receiver Would Hope He’s Proven He Can Pass With 16 Touchdowns, Completing Nearly 70% Of His Passes 68.3% On The Year and a 102. 4 Passer Rating But How Much Can The Eagles trust Him To Carry The team, The Steelers Corners Have Weak Spots On The Outside Can Hurts Make The Plays Especially With The Steelers pass Rush Barreling Down. Russell Wilson And Steelers Roll Scoring A Few Touchdowns In Their Last Few Games Can They Keep The Ball Rolling Against This Eagles Secondary That Got Exposed Last Week In Moments against Carolina? The Secondary Gave A Slew Of Big Plays To Bryce Young And Dodge Multiple Bullets and A Dagger On Drops They Have To Sure Up On The Backend Or Risk Getting Exposed. The Steelers and Russell Wilson Like Big Plays He’s Got Five Touchdown and Has a 96 Passing Grade Throwing 20+ Air The Type Of Plays That Nearly Upset The Eagles Last Week. The Have One Of The Best Red Zone Defenses Faces One Of The Best Teams In football That Struggle In The Red Zone. Maybe The Steelers Turn To Najee Harris He Got In The End Zone But The Eagles Have The Second Best EPA Per Rush Leaving Harris One Of The Least Efficient Backs In Football Out Of The Game Plan. This Game Could Come To The Passing Attacks Of
