Broncos Vs Browns Stats
James, 6-3 and 215 pounds, is the type of player who can cover wide receivers, play in the box as a run defender, or even create havoc as a blitzer. Many pundits picked the Chargers to win the AFC West based upon one of the NFL’s best defenses and an offense led by QB Philip Rivers. The Chargers quarterback was once again one the league’s best last season completing 63 percent of his passes for 4,515 yards and 28 touchdowns. Wide receiver Keenan Allen had himself a year with 102 receptions for 1,393 yards. Melvin Gordon gives the Chargers a 1,000-yard running back making the offense difficult to defend. Cleveland enters the 2018 season with just four wins since 2015.
The total for Sunday afternoon’s NFC battle between the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers has also moved down two points. Interestingly enough, the point spread has increased in size from the opening number. Typically, large point spreads and high totals go hand-in-hand. The Cardinals are 4-0 against the spread in their last four games after a win. After their shock week one performance, where they only scored three points against the New Orleans Saints, the Packers have recovered and now average a league 15th best 24 points per game. The Washington Football Team defense allows the most points in professional football with 31 per game.
The WFT defense will be on their game, but I expect the Packers’ defense to shut down the WFT offense. Rodgers will find a way to reach the endzone again and Jones will be a nightmare to stop. Over seven points in a spread is a lot, so this is quite possible to achieve. If Washington is to cover, then their defense will need to rise to the occasion. They will need to contain Rodgers and force him to make mistakes. He has had his ups and downs this year but he will need to be on his game if they want to survive.

Lock completed just 10 of 24 passes for 189 yards and 2 interceptions with no touchdowns against the Patriots, although Denver won the game on the back of six Brandon McManus field goals. Philip Lindsay played his first game of the season as Melvin Gordon was held out with strep throat and he finished with 23 carries for 101 yards. The Broncos’ defense was stellar on the road against Cam Newton and the Patriots, holding them to just 12 points.
The Saints are also coming off a bye, and they should have enough on offense to outlast Seattle in this one. Carson Wentz is starting to settle in with the Colts who will be full of confidence after crushing the Texans, but the 49ers will have cooked up some trickery in the bye week to catch the Colts cold. The problem is that Davis Mills isn’t very good, the Houston defense can be carved apart easily and they don’t get a ton of pressure on the QB, so Kyler Murray will have a field day here.

Osweiler and RB Lamar Miller are going to have to generate some points against the NFL’s stingiest defense. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick somehow managed to produce the NFL’s best scoring defense, one that allowed less than 16 points a game during the regular season. Rodgers is the big reason why the Packers were able to close the regular season with six straight victories. In those six games, he did not throw an interception and was nearly flawless. In the final two games of the season against division rivals Minnesota and Detroit, Rodgers threw for over 300 yards and had four touchdown passes in each game.
Carolina @ Tampa Bay
Keenum has enjoyed a career year after taking over for Bradford in Week 2 of the regular season. Keenum has been the product of a very good Vikings defense and a sound running game that has allowed him to manage games. He has not been called upon to make many big plays, but he delivered the Vikings’ biggest play of the season last week to beat New Orleans.
He had already broken the career passing yardage mark earlier this season. The difference on Sunday might come down to defense where the Rams hold an advantage. New Orleans gives up 26.1 points a game, which is 23rd in the league. In fact, New Orleans is No. 1 in the NFL against the run allowing opponents only 74.1 yards a game. The New Orleans secondary gives up over 315 passing yards each week. The Rams, which feature reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald, allow 19.4 points per game and excel at pressuring quarterbacks.
