All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Minnesota at Green Bay Game Preview


Why Minnesota Will Win

Run, run, run.

Dalvin Cook is back after missing last week with COVID, but he might not carry a full workload with Alexander Mattison likely to be a part of the mix.

However the makeup of this is, it’s going to be all about a ground game that should be able to hammer away a wee bit on the Green Bay defense that’s struggled over the last few weeks.

The Browns ran for 219 on the Packers last week. Baltimore and Chicago were able to rumble a bit, too. The Vikings have to try slowing this game down, control the tempo, and eat up yards with the offensive line needing to take over because …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Green Bay Will Win

Sean Mannion.

Kirk Cousins is in the COVID protocol, and no other quarterback has thrown a pass for the Vikings this year.

Mannion will be serviceable, but the Packer defense has been fantastic at forcing takeaways over the last few weeks with four against Cleveland and three against both Chicago and the Rams.

Take chances against Justin Jefferson, stack up against the run, balance out the offense against a Minnesota defense that gives up yards however you want to take them. Green Bay can do that.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Whose defense will come up with more big plays?

Minnesota might be short-handed on offense without Cousins, but the defense will come up with two takeaways to keep this from getting out of hand early.

The Packers already have the division wrapped up and are looking to lock up that 1 seed with a win and a little help. They won’t blow it.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Detroit at Seattle Game Preview


Why Detroit Will Win

Seattle is a hot mess when it comes to consistency and drama with a defense that’s getting hit hard through the air over the last few weeks and an offense that isn’t cranking out enough consistently big things with the passing game.

Detroit is still balling. Its season was over a long time ago, and yet it still battles and is finding ways to keep the offense moving. The overall results might not be great, but there’s enough of a running game to matter and the defense should be able to hold up a wee bit against a Seattle passing attack that’s not throwing enough.

However …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Seattle Will Win

Tim Boyle.

Jared Goff is hurt for a Detroit passing attack that was solid over the last month. Boyle might be able to get a few yards, but it’s going to be hard keeping up is Seattle gets its offensive balance going early on.

The Seahawk running game has kicked it in with 140 yards or more in three of the last four games. Grind it out as much as possible, don’t take any crazy chances, and rely on the bad defense to come up with a few third down stops against Boyle.

And …

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Is this really the last game at home for Russell Wilson?

He could and should be back, but there are a whole slew of things about to happen with this franchise. The Detroit defense is just good enough to keep the Seahawks from going off, but the game will be all Wilson in the fourth quarter as it starts to get a bit out of hand.

It’ll take a while, but Seattle will take over with two big pass plays … finally.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Carolina at New Orleans Game Preview


Why Carolina Will Win

New Orleans isn’t scoring.

Decimated by COVID issues over the last few weeks, the Saints were able to score 30 points against the Jets in Week 14, but that’s the only time in the last five games they’ve been able to score more than 17.

That changes with the return of some of the parts, but this still isn’t an offense that’s going to him, at least with the passing game. Forget about the Saint passing game. It’s all about the run, and the Panthers are generally okay defensively against the one-dimensional teams.

They allowed just 48 rushing yards in the Week 2 win over the Saints, but …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why New Orleans Will Win

Sam Darnold. He was great at times early on this season, and now he’s back in the mix as the Panthers try to find something that works in its five-game losing streak.

It’s Week 17 and the Carolina offense is still trying to figure it all out.

The Saints might struggling to score, but Carolina has hit a harder wall over the last few weeks considering it’s healthier.  Worse yet, the defense has started to struggle against the run, allowing well over 100 yards in each of the last five games.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

This will start to look a bit more like the New Orleans it’s supposed to be with a quarterback who can play – Taysom Hill is back – and the depth and the rest of the parts building back up.

The Saint defense that’s been a rock over the last few weeks will take care of things while Hill and Alvin Kamara take over the offense early.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Arizona at Dallas Game Preview


Why Arizona Will Win

The Cardinals have to break out of this funk at some point.

The passing game hasn’t been right, the ground attack isn’t working without James Conner slamming away like his normal self, and the three-game losing streak has been tough in three completely separate games.

That’s where the offense comes in. It should be able bomb away on a Dallas defense that gets a whole lot of love, but gives up a whole Lott of yards.

The Cardinals are moving the ball, but they aren’t catching any semblance of a break lately overall. Dallas won’t be able to maintain the same level of production like it did in last week’s 56-14 blowup spurt of a win.

Yeah, Dallas has been winning. It’s because it hasn’t faced anyone all that great, but …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Dallas Will Win

The Dallas defense is doing something right.

It’s not great against the high-powered attacks, and Kansas City’s  offense is the only good one since taking down Minnesota on Halloween. Even so, it has 14 takeaways in the last four games 19 in the last seven.

Best of all, it’s getting off the field. Trevon Diggs and the picks get the publicity, but it’s the simple act of owning third downs that’s been one of the biggest pluses for a team that loves to spread it around and rely on the ground game.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Can Dallas maintain the same energy is showed early on against Washington in last week’s 56-14 win? No, but Arizona is struggling way too much.

The speed and the pressure on the outside of the Cowboy D will keep 1 from venturing outside too much, but the Cardinal O all get the running attack going well enough to make this a fight.

It won’t be the game Arizona would like to have, but after a rough run it’ll start looking like the offense that could still do a lot of damage in Week 18 against Seattle.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Houston at San Francisco Game Preview


Why Houston Will Win

Is Trey Lance really ready to take over?

Jimmy Garopollo is banged up and doubtful against the Texans with a hand injury, and now the Houston defense gets to focus on the rookie.

The Texas rose up and shocked the Chargers last week with a big day from Davis Mills and 189 yards on the ground n the 41-29 win. On a two-game winning streak, the team is taking the ball away, there’s only been one turnover over the last three games, and now the defensive front gets to attack the new guy.

Lance will run a bit and shouldn’t take a whole slew of chances, but that might not be good enough. This is a quirky team without enough consistency, but …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why San Francisco Will Win

Houston won’t run the ball. The 49ers had big problems early in the year against the run, but that all stopped over the last several weeks – they haven’t allowed more than 90 rushing yards in six of their last seven games.

Yeah, it should be the Trey Lance show, but he should be close to ready to roll. He’s not going to be Aaron Rodgers right aways with his accuracy, but he’s good on the move and he only has one pick in his 48 attempts.

Houston’s defense came up with a good first half against the Chargers last week, but it’s struggling against the run – it’s been rocked on a regular basis before the LA game – and the season-high 189 yards on the ground last week were an aberration.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

San Francisco will pick up the slack around 5.

Lance will be okay. He won’t take any big chances, and he won’t have to with the defense picking up the slack in a fun game.

Houston and Mills will let it rip, but Lance will run well, top rusher Elijah Mitchell is expected back, and it’ll be a much-needed win to stay alive – but barely – for a playoff spot.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Denver at Los Angeles Chargers Game Preview


Why Denver Will Win

Drew Lock wasn’t awful – sort of.

He didn’t didn’t do much of anything down the field in the loss to the Raiders last week, but he didn’t make a whole lot of mistakes and he didn’t get any help from the rest of the offense.

He’s likely about to get the call this week, and as long as he doesn’t make mistakes and throw big turnovers, Denver should stay in this.

The Chargers are having big problems with turnovers, and the run defense is getting rumbled on lately. They didn’t show up against a Houston running game that didn’t work against anyone – and they lost.

However …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Los Angeles Chargers Will Win

Does Denver have anyone left?

Along with the injury problems, COVID has ripped through the team with 13 players are least questionable going into the. The secondary and lines are taking the biggest hit, and Justin Herbert is about to take advantage.

It might have been a brutal loss to a bad Texan team last week, but Herbert was able to throw for well over 300 yards to try keeping up after the defense collapsed.

That shouldn’t be an issue this week. The Charger defense isn’t anything special, but the run defense can load up and force Lock to try pulling this off.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Denver’s defense is too good to have not keep the Chargers in check for a little while, but the team is hammered too hard with COVID issues to pull this off.

Los Angeles will give up plenty of points, but after losing the last two weeks the offense will stop screwing up and the defense will finally hold firm in the red zone once in a while.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Los Angeles Rams at Baltimore Game Preview


Why Los Angeles Rams Will Win

Lamar Jackson isn’t right.

He’s trying to get back from an ankle injury he can’t shake, and he’s not going to be quite right even if he can go.

Even if everything is fine and the Ravens have their guys, good luck. They have to run well to win, and that’s going to be a problem against a Ram run defense that hasn’t allowed 100 yards in four of the last five games and six of the last eight.

On the other side, Baltimore keeps on stumbling. The offense is a problem, but the secondary has gone bye-bye – it gave up 575 passing yards to Joe Burrow last week.

Matthew Stafford is about to have a whole lot of fun.

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Baltimore Will Win

What can the Ravens do to turn this around after four straight losses?

It starts with stopping the run. The Rams have been better and better at hammering away with Sony Michel and the rotation, but Baltimore has been able to allow fewer than 100 yards on the ground in six of their last seven games.

The Rams turned it over three times in last week’s win over Minnesota and multiple times in four of the last seven games, but …

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

The Ravens are about to get lit up yet again.

This isn’t a Ram team you want to face if you’re trying to turn things around, and it won’t keep up against Stafford and his array of weapons.

This is the worst pass defense in the NFL that Cooper Kupp and company get to go after, and it’ll show.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Philadelphia at Washington Game Preview


Why Philadelphia Will Win

Washington is missing RB Antonio Gibson and a few offensive linemen thanks to the COVID protocol.

It’s been a rough run for the Football Team – it just can’t seem to get right through the pandemic problems. The offense has stalled, the defense got trucked by Dallas, and everything is slipping away.

Philadelphia is known for its running game, but Jalen Hurts and the passing attack are working well enough when it has to. The offense has been the opposite of Washington’s – it’s on a roll, and that includes the 519 yards and 27 points put up in the win over WFT a few weeks ago.

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Washington Will Win

The Football Team has to bomb away from the start.

It starts with WR Terry McLaurin to get the ball in a variety of ways, QB Taylor Heineke has to get on the move, and the team has to manufacture points to keep up.

The D – even with all of its problems – isn’t bad at taking the ball away, and the Eagles have occasionally had problems with giveaways. Washington has to pressure Hurts from the start and needs to be great on third downs.

The Football Team defense has to get off the field. It can’t let the Eagles control the game, but …

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Philadelphia is great on third downs, and Washington isn’t.

The Football Team is giving it a shot, but it just can’t get the defense to work – giving up over 1,000 yards over the last two weeks – and the offense has failed to score more than 17 four of the last five games and 20 or fewer in eight of the last ten.

It won’t be anything easy, but the Eagles will be balanced as they add to the Washington defensive futility.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Tampa Bay at New York Jets Game Preview


Why Tampa Bay Will Win

The New York Jets can’t stop the pass.

They sort of did against Jacksonville in last week’s win, and they held both the Saints and Dolphins to under 200 yards through the air, but they weren’t exactly pressed in those two losses.

No one runs the ball on anyone more than New York, partly because there’s a whole lot of success. The Buccaneers should be balanced and they should be all about getting in, taking care of business on the first two drives, and turning it over to the defense.

The Tampa Bay D allowed 17 points or fewer in four of the last six games and gave up 15 total in the last two.

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why New York Jets Will Win

New York has stopped the mistakes.

The running game rumbled against Jacksonville, the defense took the ball away against Miami, and there are signs overall of improvement. It all started with not turning the ball over, only giving it up once over the last three games.

This is New York’s Super Bowl, and it’s the final home game of the year. There might not be the passing game to keep up the pace if Tampa Bay gets up early, but the offense has to keep attempting to work on the ground attack.

The Bucs don’t give up a lot on the ground, but with the way the Jets have been running over the last few weeks, they have to slow things down a bit and hope to take Tom Brady out of his rhythm.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

New York will be plucky.

Tom Brady and the passing game haven’t gone off lately, but the ground game has made up for it – the running attack rumbled on Carolina last week.

This will be more workmanlike than sensational.

All of the CFN NFL Predictions

Las Vegas at Indianapolis Game Preview


Why Las Vegas Will Win

The Raiders might not be scoring a whole lot, but the defense picked a great job to start playing its best stretch of the season.

It stuffed the Denver running game last week, it stopped the Cleveland ground attack the week before, and now the team is 4-0 when allowing fewer than 90 yards.

Indianapolis will come up with more than 90 on the ground, but if the Raider defensive front can keep from getting gouged, the offense should be able to take care of the rest – the passing game should be enough against a defense that gives up the second-most touchdown passes in the league.

However …

NFL Expert Picks, CFN Week 17

Why Indianapolis Will Win

Las Vegas isn’t scoring.

Yeah, it won its last two games and it’s been able to manufacture ways to get by, but the O has stopped.

Vegas has failed to score more than 17 points in seven of its last eight games. The Indianapolis defense has struggled against teams that can throw touchdown passes, but it hasn’t allowed more than 17 points in five of its last six games.

This is going to be a grind, but Carson Wentz is expected to be back and out of the COVID protocol.

NFL Week 17 Schedules, Predictions

What’s Going To Happen

Indianapolis will struggle a wee bit.

The offense doesn’t need to do too much to put this away early, but it’s going to have a tough time getting Jonathan Taylor going.

The defense won’t allow much of anything with the suddenly revamped Vegas ground game, and it’ll take the ball away at least twice.
