The Las Vegas Raiders will be on the road in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs from Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Raiders are coming into this one after a 30-23 loss to the Bills last week at home and will need to improve their defense as this season moves forward if they want to compete with the NFL’s best.  The Chiefs continue to roll this season, beating the Patriots, Ravens, and Chargers and improving to 4-0 on this young season.

Can the Raiders defense compete with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense?  Tune in and find out, here is everything you need to know to stream the action!

Prediction: The Raiders have the ability to put up some points with Jon Gruden calling the plays, where they really have an issue is on defense.  They can’t seem to score more points than the defense gives up.  I still like the Raiders in this one with the points.

Bet: Las Vegas Raiders +11

Where do the Bucs land on ESPN’s way-too-early 2020 NFL Power Rankings?

See why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers should be optimistic heading into the offseason.

With Super Bowl LIV in the books, the 2019 NFL season is officially over. The 100th year of the NFL concluded with a dramatic game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, which ultimately saw quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs come out victorious.

Now, every team will look ahead to the 2020 season, using the upcoming offseason — namely, the NFL draft and free agency — to try and revamp their roster in their quest to make it to Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay next year.

So, how do the Buccaneers stack up against the rest of the league heading into the offseason? In ESPN’s way-too-early 2020 NFL Power Rankings offseason poll, the Bucs come in at No. 19, and the reason they should be optimistic heading into 2020 is because of their strong finish to the 2019 season.

“They won five of their final eight games (and four of their final six), suggesting that coach Bruce Arians is starting to turn things around. And while the quarterback situation is currently unsettled with Jameis Winston, the Bucs’ defense figures to take the next step as Arians said that keeping that group intact is a priority.”

It’s been a while since Bucs fans have entered an offseason with this much optimism. Hopefully, Bruce Arians can help them remain focused on the task at hand.

2020 NFL Power Rankings: Eagles land in the top-15 of early list

Philadelphia Eagles No. 14 in ESPN’s early 2020 NFL Power Rankings

The 2019 NFL season is officially over and the Kansas City Chiefs are the reigning kings after securing a Super Bowl title following their 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.

The NFL changes gears really quickly and with the Tampa being the host of next year’s big game, ESPN has already released an early 2020 power ranking.

With changes to the coaching staff and the need to get younger at various positions, the Eagles landed in the top-15 of ESPN’s initial ranking, coming in at No. 14.

14. Philadelphia Eagles

2019 record: 9-7

Reason for optimism: Carson Wentz. The growth of Wentz made 2019 far from a lost season. Not only did the quarterback make it through the regular season healthy, he ascended into a clear leadership position down the stretch by carrying an injury-ravaged offense on his back to punch Philadelphia’s playoff ticket. Wentz quieted the dissenting voices in the locker room and sent a reminder to the league that one of the top signal-callers in the game resides in Philadelphia. — Tim McManus

Wentz finishing a full season healthy for the first time since his rookie year was huge for the organization and fans. He didn’t get to compete in the playoff loss, but he gained experience and showed the organization that he can carry a team.

The Tennessee Titans travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. Whoever wins will punch their ticket to Super Bowl LIV in Miami. Kansas City leads the all-time series 29-24, but Tennessee has won four in a row, including a 35-32 home victory in Week 10. It’s a battle of two high octane offenses Sunday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium.

Titans vs. Chiefs

  • TV: CBS

After knocking off the Patriots in the wild-card round, the Titans defeated the Ravens 28-12 in Baltimore. The Titans defense set the tone with an interception by Keith Byard. Jonnu Smith hauled in a spectacular catch shortly thereafter to give Tennessee an early 7-0  lead and its 10th straight touchdown on red zone drives. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed seven of 14 passes for 88 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to one rushing touchdown on the ground. Speaking of rushing, Derrick Henry went next level for the third straight week, running for 195 yards and two scores against a tough Ravens defense. Henry also passed for a touchdown. The running back had 188 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting between the Chiefs and Titans. Henry’s ability to wear down opposing defenses and keep the Kansas City offense off the field will be the keys to the team’s success.

Down 20-0, it looked like the Texans would be marching onto the AFC Championship game. Not so fast though. The Chiefs have reigning NFL MVP in Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes completed 23 of 35 passes for 321 yards and a season-high five touchdowns. Tight end Travis Kelce reeled in three of those touchdowns on 10 catches for a total of 134 yards. Running back Damien Williams didn’t have a slew of yards rushing (47), but he did pick up two scores on the ground and one receiving. It’s no secret what Kansas City will do offensively. Can Logan Ryan and Rashaan Evans put pressure on Mahomes? How will Keith Byard and the rest of the secondary perform against Kelce and the speed of wideouts Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins? Those will be matchups to watch on Sunday afternoon.

Watch 49ers vs. Seahawks Live Online.

In what essentially amounts to being the NFC West championship game for this season, the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks will square-off on Sunday night. With the division title on the line, along with the potential for home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs, the stakes have not been this high for a game between these two teams since their last matchup in the NFC Championship Game.

49ers vs. Seahawks

The San Francisco 49ers (12-3) got a massive win in their last game, securing a 34-31 victory over the Los Angeles Rams with a last-second field goal by Robbie Gould. The Niners were outgained in the game and lost the turnover battle, but they made the plays down the stretch when it counted the most, something that has become a common theme for them throughout the season. If they can make the necessary plays in this game, they could be rewarded with a first-round bye.

Seattle (11-4) lost last weekend in one of the most shocking results of the NFL season, a 27-13 defeat to the Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks scored the game’s first touchdown, but failed to score another touchdown, settling for two Jason Myers field goals to complete their scoring on the day. Despite facing backup quarterback Brett Hundley for much of the second half due to an injury to Cardinals starter Kyler Murray, the Seahawks could not get themselves in a position to get back into the game and will need to win this week to avoid a wild card slot.

Watch Bills vs Jets Live.

Week 17 is upon us, the last regular-season games will commence this weekend. The New York Jets will travel to Orchard Park, NY, and New Era Field to take on the Buffalo Bills.

NFL Football: New York Jets (-1) at Buffalo Bills

  • Date: Sunday, December 29
  • Kickoff: 1:00 p.m. ET
  • TV Channel: CBS
  • Live Stream: CBS All Access (Try it FREE now)

Buffalo has already clinched the first wild card spot in the AFC and will most likely limit the starters in this game to give them some rest before next weekend. Josh Allen will get the start with Matt Barkley coming in later in the game to lead the Bills to a possible 11-5 season record, which would be the first time in twenty years.

The Jets are coming in hot and their defense has been playing very well the last few weeks. They will look to knock off the Bills before ending their season in Buffalo with zero playoff hopes. Expect Sam Darnold to play the whole game against his friend and rival, Josh Allen.

Prediction: With the Buffalo Bills limiting their starters, it might give the Jets a chance in this game. I still believe the Bills will want to go into the playoffs with a win so I’m taking the Bills in this game. Bills (+1)

The Saints (12-3) head to Charlotte to take on the Panthers (5-10) Sunday afternoon.  New Orleans won the first matchup between these two teams 34-31 at home in Week 12 behind a 311 yard, three-touchdown performance from Drew Brees. With their third NFC South championship secured, the Saints are looking to improve their playoff seed with a win and some help from other teams around the league.

The Packers beat the Vikings on Monday, which didn’t help the Saints cause. They currently trail the top-seeded 49ers and second-seeded Packers in the playoff picture. Two weeks ago Drew Brees broke the NFL record for career touchdown passes with No. 540, surpassing Peyton Manning. In a 38-28 win over Tennessee last weekend, Michael Thomas also added his name into the record books, breaking Marvin Harrison’s single-season receptions mark. Thomas has 145 catches for 1,6888 yards in 2019. If the Saints are the third seed when the season is over, it would mark the second time (2011) that they finished in that spot with a 13-3 record.

While the Panthers were red hot early in the season, the tides quickly turned. Carolina has lost seven in a row, including a 38-6 defeat at the hands of Indianapolis last weekend. Rookie Will Grier made his first start and completed 27 of 44 passes for 224 yards and three interceptions.  Christian McCaffrey, the heart and soul of the team, rushed for 54 yards and caught 15 passes for 119 yards. McCaffrey is second in the NFL with 1,361 yards this season. How effective will he be against a defensive unit that features Cam Jordan (14.5 sacks) and is ranked fifth against the run (94.7 YPG)? That will be a major factor in Sunday’s contest.

The Houston Texans (9-5) travel to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers (7-7) Saturday afternoon. It’s the fifth meeting between these two teams, with Houston leading the all-time series 3-1. The lone win for the Buccaneers came at home back in 2003.

Texans vs. Buccaneers

  • When: Saturday, December 21
  • Time: 1:00 p.m. ET
  • TV: NFL Network
  • Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

Ka’imi Fairbirn’s 29-yard field goal sealed the deal for the Houston Texans in a 24-21 victory over division rival Tennessee as they put up 10 straight points in the final quarter of the game. It also gave Houston control of the AFC South with two weeks remaining in the regular season. Deshaun Watson completed 19 of 27 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. Carlos Hyde took the pressure off of Watson with 26 carries for 104 yards and one touchdown. DeAndre Hopkins looked like an All-Pro at wide receiver, hauling in six catches for 114 yards, while Kenny Stills was on the receiving end of two Watson touchdown passes.

Tennessee compiled 432 yards of offense in the game and was equally dangerous in the passing game and with the run. Ryan Tannehill threw for 279 yards and two touchdowns, while the Titans tallied 163 yards rushing.  Fortunately for Houston, Tampa Bay will be without some key offensive weapons. The Texans defense has had trouble with the run the last several weeks and has also given up some big plays in the passing game. Zach Cunningham has been a key player in the absence of J.J. Watt and had 14 tackles and half a sack last weekend. How will this defense show up after a short week and can it focus on the Buccaneers knowing that they have a rematch with Tennessee right around the corner?

Meanwhile, the Bucs have been red hot and are looking for their fifth consecutive win. Jameis Winston set a single-season record for passing yards with the team’s 38-17 victory in Detroit. Winston threw for 452 yards, four touchdowns and one interception to bring his total to 4,573. He also leads the league in interceptions, so the question remains which Winston will you see at game time? Mike Evans had a season-ending hamstring injury two weeks ago and this week the hamstring bug caught Chris Godwin, who had a standout season with 1,339 yards receiving. That means Breshad Perriman, who scored three touchdowns in the win against the Lions, could be poised for another productive game.

The defensive unit is playing better and better each week as well. The Buccaneers rush defense is ranked first in the league and holding opponents to an average of 73.3 yards per game. Shaq Barrett picked up another sack against the Lions, which tied him for the most in a season (16.5) with Warren Sapp. Sean Murphy-Bunting and Lavonte David led the team with eight tackles. Bunting, part of a young secondary, recorded his first interception of the year, which he returned 70 yards for a touchdown.

Two of the toughest defenses in the NFL will clash on Sunday Night Football when the Buffalo Bills look to earn their 10th win of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With both teams currently holding wild-card positions in the AFC playoff race, this game could have a dramatic impact on who makes the postseason and where they will be seeded in the AFC.

Time: 8:20 p.m. ET

TV: NBC

Live Stream: fuboTV (watch for free)

The Buffalo Bills (9-4) suffered a 24-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens their last time out. The Bills did a good job of keeping MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson in check during the game, holding him to 145 yards passing and under 50 yards rushing. But the Bills offense was not able to overcome the Ravens, as Buffalo only managed 209 yards of offense. The Bills sit one game back of the New England Patriots in the race for the AFC East and in the first wild-card slot heading into the game.

Pittsburgh (8-5) won its third straight game and its seventh out of eight when it got a 23-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last week. Devlin Hodges was by no means spectacular at quarterback for the Steelers, but he was an efficient 16-for-19 for 152 yards and a touchdown pass. It kept the Steelers moving well enough to secure the victory. Currently sitting in the second wild-card position in the AFC, a win for the Steelers could impact where they go in the first round of the playoffs.

The San Francisco 49ers have gone through an incredibly difficult stretch of their schedule and have emerged from it still in the lead in the NFC West. And while Sunday’s matchup with the Atlanta Falcons was looking like a reprieve from difficult competition, the Falcons’ strong form in recent weeks has even made this contest a difficult one for San Francisco.

San Francisco improved to 11-2 on the season with a dramatic 48-46 win over the New Orleans Saints. In a back and forth contest, the Niners racked up 516 total yards and overcame a 20-7 deficit with their explosive offense. The 49ers’ defensive effort in the game was concerning after the team gave up 465 yards and 46 points to the Saints. The Niners will have to do a better job of stopping Calvin Ridley and Julio Jones than they did the Saints’ passing attack.

The Atlanta Falcons got a win over a divisional opponent last week in a 40-20 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Atlanta was incredibly opportunistic in the game, forcing four Carolina turnovers, including two interceptions from Kyle Allen. The Falcons led 13-10 at halftime, before a 17-0 surge in the third quarter put them well ahead for the remainder. The win moved Atlanta to 4-9 on the season, as the team has won three of its last five games after a 1-7 start.
