Thursday, November 7th

Bengals vs Ravens: 

Achintya: (Ravens) In the upcoming matchup between the Ravens vs Bengals expect an entertaining matchup between two fierce division rivals. For the Bengals they are coming off a high scoring game in which Joe Burrow played excellently. For the Ravens Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry continued with their duo dominance and completely ran over their opponents last week. Look for a high scoring game with the Ravens defense coming up huge towards the end. Ravens (35-24)

Tirish: (Ravens) This Ravens-Bengals showdown should be a nail-biter, especially with both teams fighting for AFC North dominance. Lamar Jackson will bring his signature playmaking for Baltimore, but Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase could have an answer, especially if their offensive line holds up. Baltimore’s defense might just edge out with a couple of key stops, but don’t expect the Bengals to go quietly. Final prediction: Ravens 27, Bengals 24.

Sunday, November 10th

Giants vs Panthers: 

Achintya: (Panthers) In the upcoming matchup between the Giants and the Panthers expect a low scoring game. For the Giants they are struggling to move the ball on offense but a tough defense is holding them up as much as they can. For the Panthers they are struggling on both offense and defense but have been playing against much tougher opponents and can’t wait for this soft matchup. Look for a low scoring game with the Panthers front seven coming up with big stops. Panthers (28-13).

Tirish: (Giants) The Giants and Panthers are set for a close one, with both teams eager to break out of recent struggles. Look for Saquon Barkley to be the spark for the Giants, while Bryce Young continues to find his groove for Carolina. The Giants’ defense might give Young a tough time, but the Panthers could surprise if they get their run game going. Final prediction: Giants 20, Panthers 17.

Patriots vs Bears:

Achintya: (Bears) In the upcoming matchup between the Patriots and the Bears expect a low scoring defensive battle. Both teams are carried heavily by their reliance on the defense to get them in good field position. For the Patriots a heavy run game will be their strategy as that has been their go to this year. For the Beats a heavy passing game will be their strategy as Caleb Williams looks for a rebound game in this rebound game. Look for a blowout with Caleb Williams finally breaking the shackles and going off. Bears (35-17).

Tirish: (Patriots) In this Patriots-Bears clash, expect a gritty, defensive game with both teams aiming to get back on track. Mac Jones will try to spark New England’s offense, but the Bears’ defense, led by a determined Roquan Smith, won’t make it easy. Meanwhile, Justin Fields will look to make some big plays on the ground and through the air to keep Chicago in the fight. Final prediction: Patriots 23, Bears 20.

49ers vs Buccaneers:

Achintya: (Buccaneers) In the upcoming matchup between the 49ers and the Buccaneers should be a very high scoring game. For the 49ers the best running back in the league Christian McCaffery should be coming back and that should help them greatly. For the Buccaneers they are coming off a heartbreaking loss in overtime to the undefeated Chiefs but they should be fine with a high scoring offense led by Baker Mayfield looking in a good touch. Look for a high scoring game with Baker Mayfield leading the way and allowing for the Buccaneers to win by two possessions. Buccaneers (38-28).

Tirish: (49ers) The 49ers and Buccaneers matchup has all the makings of a hard-fought battle. Brock Purdy will lead San Francisco’s offense, hoping to connect with playmakers like Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, while Tampa Bay's defense, with veterans like Lavonte David, will look to keep them in check. On the other side, Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans will try to test the 49ers’ secondary. Final prediction: 49ers 27, Buccaneers 21.

Broncos vs Chiefs: 

Achintya: (Chiefs) In the upcoming matchup between the Broncos and the Chiefs expect a one sided- blowout. The Broncos are struggling this year with Bo Nix going through the growing pains of a rookie adapting to the NFL. For the Chiefs the game couldn’t be more easier as they look to keep their undefeated record with their high scoring offense. Look for the Chiefs to blowout the Broncos and keep their undefeated record intact as Patrick Mahomes goes off.  Chiefs (50-17).

Tirish: (Chiefs) The Broncos-Chiefs matchup should be an exciting AFC West showdown. Patrick Mahomes will look to keep Kansas City’s offense firing with help from Travis Kelce, while Denver’s defense, led by Patrick Surtain II, will try to slow them down. Russell Wilson and the Broncos offense have their work cut out for them, but they’ll need a strong showing to keep up. Final prediction: Chiefs 31, Broncos 17.

Bills vs Colts:

Achintya: (Bills) In the upcoming matchup between the Bills and the Colts expect a high scoring game. For the Bills their offense has been super strong with their QB Josh Allen coming back into good form. For the Colts their keys to the game is their super strong rushing attack with the return of Anthony Richardson maybe? Expect a high scoring game with Josh Allen out dueling Anthony Richardson. Bills (35-24).

Tirish: (Bills) In this Bills-Colts matchup, expect Josh Allen to bring his big arm and mobility to keep Buffalo’s offense moving, with Stefon Diggs likely to see plenty of action. Meanwhile, rookie QB Anthony Richardson and the Colts will aim to make things competitive, especially with Jonathan Taylor in the backfield. Buffalo’s defense could be the deciding factor if they can pressure Richardson and limit big plays. Final prediction: Bills 28, Colts 20.

Steelers vs Commanders:

Achintya: (Commanders) Both of these teams are surprisingly very good this year with not many expecting these teams to perform this good. For the Steelers their switch at QB looks to be working with Russel Wilson cooking. For the Commanders Rookie QB Jayden Daniels is playing very well with their offense being near the top of the league and their defense being stout as well. Expect a high scoring game with both battling hard with the Commanders having the edge.  Commanders (40-30).

Tirish: (Steelers) The Steelers-Commanders game has the potential for a gritty, defensive battle. Kenny Pickett will try to find his rhythm with Pittsburgh, especially connecting with George Pickens downfield, but Washington’s defense, led by Jonathan Allen and Montez Sweat, will bring the pressure. On the other side, Sam Howell will aim to keep Washington moving, with Terry McLaurin as his go-to target. Final prediction: Steelers 23, Commanders 21.

Vikings vs Jaguars:

Achintya: (Vikings) In the upcoming matchup between the Vikings and Jaguars it might not be worth turning on the TV for this one as the Vikings have this game in the bag. The Vikings are looking great on both offense and defense with Sam Darnold and Justin Jefferson leading the way. For the Jaguars they will look to keep up through the play of QB Trevor Lawrence. Expect a one-sided blowout for the Vikings as they fight the Lions for the division lead. Vikings (50-10).

Tirish: (Vikings) The Vikings-Jaguars matchup promises some exciting offense. Kirk Cousins will aim to keep Minnesota’s passing game hot, especially with Justin Jefferson looking to make big plays downfield. On the Jaguars’ side, Trevor Lawrence and Travis Etienne Jr. bring a strong combo that could test the Vikings’ defense. This one could come down to which team can make a few key stops. Final prediction: Vikings 27, Jaguars 24.

Falcons vs Saints:

Achintya: (Falcons) In the upcoming matchup between the Falcons and the Saints both of these teams are high scoring teams with poor defenses. For the Saints, they look forward to their QB Derek Carr coming back from injury. The Falcons look red-hot with their offense tandem of Bijan Robinson and Kirk Cousins playing well week in and week out. Expect a high scoring game with the Falcons playing just a bit better. Falcons (31-27)..

Tirish: (Saints) The Falcons-Saints rivalry is always a fun one, and this matchup should be no different. Desmond Ridder will look to get Atlanta’s offense rolling, with Bijan Robinson likely to play a big role on the ground. For the Saints, Derek Carr and Chris Olave will try to spark the passing game and keep New Orleans in control. Expect a close, hard-fought game with some big plays on both sides. Final prediction: Saints 24, Falcons 21.

Titans vs Chargers: 

Achintya: (Chargers) In the upcoming matchup between the Titans and the Chargers expect a low scoring affair. The Titans led by Will Levis will try to correct course as they have been struggling for a large part of the season. The Charges led by Justin Herbert are looking better each week and should be the better team this week. Expect a low scoring game with the Chargers having the edge due to a great day by Justin Herbert. Chargers (24-12).

Tirish: (Chargers) The Titans-Chargers game should be an interesting matchup, with Tennessee leaning heavily on Derrick Henry to power their offense. Ryan Tannehill will look to connect with DeAndre Hopkins, but the Chargers’ defense, led by Joey Bosa, will look to make things tough. On the flip side, Justin Herbert and Keenan Allen will try to make plays through the air and keep the offense moving for Los Angeles. Final prediction: Chargers 27, Titans 20.

Jets vs Cardinals:

Achintya: (Jets) In the upcoming matchup between the Jets and the Cardinals expect a very high scoring matchup. The Cardinals led by Kyler Murray are struggling a bit to put together wins but will try their best this week. For the Jets Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams have been cooking and should keep it up this week with a straightforward matchup against a rather weak Cardinal defense. Expect a high scoring matchup with the Jets having the edge with some clutch defensive stops. Jets (35-24).

Tirish: (Jets) The Jets-Cardinals game has potential for a close one, with New York relying on Zach Wilson to keep the offense efficient and hopefully connect with Garrett Wilson on a few big plays. Arizona, led by Kyler Murray, will need to use his mobility to break down the Jets' tough defense, while James Conner could play a key role in the run game. If New York’s defense can stifle Arizona’s offense, it could be a big win for the Jets. Final prediction: Jets 23, Cardinals 17.

Eagles vs Cowboys:

Achintya: (Eagles) In the upcoming matchup between the Eagles and the Cowboys looks to be a very interesting one. The Cowboys are without their top QB and WR and look to be in pieces. However, the Eagles are finally healthy and look in great form with Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley playing great. Expect a high scoring matchup as the Cowboys surprise everyone with how close they keep the game. Eagles (42-28).

Tirish: (Eagles) The Eagles-Cowboys game is set to be a high-stakes battle in the NFC East. Jalen Hurts will lead Philly’s offense, looking to connect with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, while Dallas will rely on Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to make big plays through the air. The Cowboys' defense, with Micah Parsons leading the charge, will try to put pressure on Hurts, but the Eagles’ offensive line is tough. This one could go down to the wire, but I’m leaning toward Philly for the win. Final prediction: Eagles 28, Cowboys 24.

Lions vs Texans:

Achintya: (Lions) In the upcoming matchup between the Lions and the Texans here are two teams who are both playing very well this year. However, the Texans are nursing some injuries right now with a lot of their top options sitting right now. The Lions are cooking with wins against multiple top teams and look to keep their streak up. Expect a high scoring matchup won by the Lions through their tough run duo Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.  Lions (42-35).

Tirish: (Lions) The Lions-Texans game has the potential to be an exciting one, with Detroit’s offense firing on all cylinders behind Jared Goff and playmakers like Amon-Ra St. Brown. Houston’s rookie quarterback, C.J. Stroud, will need to continue his solid play while leaning on Dameon Pierce to keep the ground game balanced. Detroit's defense could prove tough for the Texans, but Stroud’s poise might keep it close. Final prediction: Lions 31, Texans 20.

Monday, November 11th 

Dolphins vs Rams: 

Achintya: (Rams) In the upcoming matchup between the Rams and the Dolphins looks to be a fun one. The Dolphins are struggling this year even with the return of their starting QB Tua Tagovailoa. The Rams are struggling in their own way with the failure of Matthew Stafford to grow any sort of chemistry with his options. Expect a high scoring game in which both the starting QBs seem to be finding the right recipe to success and the Rams win this game just because of their smally advantage when it comes to defense. Rams (24-18).

Tirish: (Dolphins) The Dolphins-Rams game should be a fun one, with Miami’s explosive offense led by Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill looking to make big plays downfield. Los Angeles will counter with Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp, hoping to keep things competitive and put up points against Miami’s defense. The Rams will need a strong showing from their defensive line, with Aaron Donald trying to disrupt Tua. Ultimately, Miami’s speed and playmaking should be the difference. Final prediction: Dolphins 34, Rams 24.
