SIN BLITZERS
DOLPHINS AT BILLS : This will be the second meeting of the season between the AFC East rivals. In week two the Bills dismantled the Dolphins 31-10, and late in that game is where Tua Tagovailoa suffered his concussion, that kept him out the next four games. James Cook had 95 total yards and three touchdowns in the win. Before leaving with injury, Tua threw three interceptions, including a pick six from Ja’marcus Ingram. Josh Allen has crushed the Dolphins in his career with 34 touchdowns and seven interceptions with 110 passer rating. The bright spot for the Dolphins in week two was De’von Achane, who had 165 total yards and a touchdown. He had a strong game last week against Arizona with 147 total yards and a receiving touchdown.
COWBOYS AT FALCONS : These are two teams heading in different directions. The Cowboys are coming off another loss, this one to the injury riddled 49ers on Sunday Night. The same issues that have plagued the Cowboys were on display Sunday night, Dak threw two picks and the defense gave up 223 yards rushing including 85 and a touchdown to rookie Isaac Guerendo. The Cowboys will look to flip the script against the Falcons, who are coming off a win over the Bucs to take control of the NFC South. Kirk Cousins had four touchdowns, one of which went to Running Back Bijan Robinson who had 106 total yards. This Falcons’ offense has a plethora of weapons, so the Cowboys defense might be in for it. But one advantage could be that Cousins played for Dallas DC Mike Zimmer in Minnesota. If the Cowboys lose this game, it could be a long few weeks. So they need Dak to be great, don’ t be surprised if this is a high scoring affair.
LIONS AT PACKERS : First place in the NFC North is on the line as the Lions go to Lambeau to play the Packers for the first time this season. The two teams split last season, with each winning on the road. Last year at Lambeau it was the David Montgomery show, as he had 121 yards and three touchdowns rushing. The Packers are entering this game banged up as Jordan Love, Josh Jacobs and Jaire Alexander are all questionable, if Love can’t go, the Packers will turn to Malik Willis for the second time this season. This should be an entertaining one at Lambeau as two of the NFC’S best go at it.
Bengals Vs Raiders : Preview
By Bill Murphy
Coming off a 37-17 loss to the Eagles, the Bengals are desperately trying to look for their first home win of the season against the Raiders .The Raiders are coming off of a 27-20 loss against the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs.
X Factors
Bengals
Offense
Wide Receiver Corp – Ja’marr Chase last week had nine receptions for 54 yards and touchdown. Chase is currently the league leading receiver with 674 yards and seven touchdowns . Another big weapon for the wide receiver corp is going to be Mike Geisicki who last week led with 7 receptions and 73 yards. Geisicki is going to be an important part of the wide receiver corp to have Joe Burrow take the load off of Chase while Tee Higgins is doubtful for Sunday .
Linebackers- Hendrickson , Logan and Pratt are gonna be the key to taking on the Raiders weak offensive line. Last week Gardner Minshew was sacked five times against the Kansas City Defense and has taken 25 sacks on the season . Hendrickson , so far this year 21 tackles and seven sacks . Germaine Pratt has one tackle for loss 80 tackles and one sack . Logan Wilson has 78 tackles on the year .
Raiders
Offense
Jakobi Meyers – Last Week Meyers had six receptions for 52 yards and a touchdown. Myers this year has 325 yards , two touchdowns and 43 receptions . I think Meyers is going to be an essential weapon for Gardner Minshew . As the Raiders have the 18th ranked passing offense in the league .
Defense
Secondary – The Raiders defense is tied for 11th in the league. Their secondary is going to be a real threat to the Bengals wide receiver corp. Since Higgins is out for Sunday , The secondary better double up on Ja’marr chase . The Raiders pass defense is ranked 7th in the league and a big player is going to be safety Tre’von Moherig who leads the team with two interceptions.
Prediction
Bengals 28 Raiders 17
