Well, let’s go to the choices:
GAME OF THE WEEK
Detroit to New York Jets (-0.5)
You might be surprised by this pick for Game of the Week. It’s just that, honestly, I don’t think we’re going to have a more fun duel than this.
On one side are the Lions, who have won five of their most recent six, their only loss being to Buffalo (and by a field goal).
In their last four wins they have scored 31 or more points, including 40 at Jacksonville and 34 y Minnesota In the past week. Also, in that six-week period, Jared Goff he has eight touchdown passes and zero interceptions.
The team that made us fall in love Hard hits and to which many experts have labeled “Surprise of the Year”, has finally clicked thanks to the unique style of the trainer Dan Campbell.
On the other end are the Jets, who after starting the season with a 6-3 record, are 1-3 after the bye week and have had to use three quarterbacks, including Zach Wilsonthe second overall pick of the 2021 Draft that begins to emit a fetid smell of bust.
Mike White (80 for 129,952 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions) didn’t hurt in relief but is still in doubt for the game against the Lions after a pair of ferocious rib shots he took in Buffalo.
If White can’t start, the Jets will have to go to the veteran. Joe Flaccowhich is 1-3 this season.
New York’s defense could also lose one of its starters, the tackle Quinnen Williamsleading the team in sacks with 11 and who suffered a calf injury in the loss to the Bills.
The Jets rank fourth in pass defense and sixth in average points allowed per game, at 18.7.
One of the duels to follow in this game is the one between the rookie cornerback of the Jets, Gardner sauce doors Amun-Ra San Brown. Gardener leads the NFL with 16 passes defensively and St. Brown leads Detroit wide receivers with 82 receptions, 898 yards and six touchdowns.
You choose: Despite losses on both sides of the ball, the Jets defense will keep this game close, but Goff and Detroit’s offense will make enough big plays to settle this matchup and still hope they can make the playoffs as a Wild Card in the NFC. Lions 23-20 NYJ
YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN: The NFL will consider whether the penalties for rudeness on the quarterback are reviewable

Chicago’s defense is mediocre and this season Jalen hurts it tore apart mediocre defenses. Eagles 38-23 Bears
SHOCK SPECIAL
Baltimore and Cleveland (-3)

with the rookie Brock Purdi At the controls, the Niners look solid or more solid than they do under Jimmy Garoppolo. 49ers 29-14 Seahawks
Indianapolis to Minnesota (-4.5)
The Colts have won six straight against the Vikings; I don’t think there’s a surprise, but it’s a closed game. Minnesota-Indianapolis 24-20

Yours Tagovailoa and the Dolphins looked bad two weeks straight; Additionally, the Bills have won seven of the most recent eight in this rivalry, which now has serious postseason implications. Buffalo 27-20 Miami
Pittsburgh and Carolinas (-2.5)
There is too much evidence that Mitchell Trubisky He doesn’t belong in the NFL. Panthers 27-19 Steelers

Arizona and Denver (-3)
How bad will the Cardinals be, that the Broncos are favorites. Denver-Arizona 23-17

Tennessee & Los Angeles Chargers (-3)
