NFL Vigoal/MyGuy Week 6

Here is the Sunday/Monday prediction report. Most scores are based off Bleacher Report and Las Vegas projections and I list the top players QB (for passing questions) RB (for rushing questions) and WR (for receiving questions). If I feel strongly about a player, I will bold and RED them.

• I answer "NO" to the 2-pt conversion and missed FG question. These are events that are least likely to happen. 
• Most times I answer "NO" to the interception question even though this is an event that is more 50-50. 
• I will most likely choose that a team will have more PASSING YARDS because passing plays are usually longer than rushing plays.
• If a player has an asterisk (*) next to their name, they are somewhat injured. So injured that it may affect their ability and they might not play the whole game

San Francisco vs St Louis

BR: San Fran 20 St Louis 10

Vegas: San Fran 24 St Louis 21

Me: San Fran 20 St Louis 17 (or 21)

San Francisco 49ers

QB: Colin Kaepernick

RB: Frank Gore, Carlos Hyde

WR: Vernon Davis, Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin, Stevie Johnson
K: Phil Dawson
Attempts: Rush
Yards: Pass

St. Louis Rams
QB: Austin Davis, Shaun Hill
RB: Zac Stacy, Benjamin Cunningham
WR: Brian Quick, Jared Cook, Tavon Austin
K: Greg Zuerline
Attempts: Rush
Yards: Pass

-- I think this will be a close game. It's Prime Time and it's a division game. If you feel St. Louis is going to win, I wouldn't hate you for it. I think Colin Kaepernick will be good, I even think Austin Davis will be good. I like Frank Gore, hopefully Zac Stacy does well too. I like Brian Quick best, then Vernon then Crabtree. With the 49ers, it could go to any of those WRs though. I like the Kicker Dawson slightly better than Zuerline.

San Diego vs Oakland

BR: San Diego 30 Oakland 7

Vegas: SD 25 Oak 18

Me: SD 27 Oak 24

San Diego Chargers

QB: Philip Rivers

RB: Brandon Oliver

WR: Keenen Allen, Antonio Gates, Malcom Floyd, Eddie Royal
Oakland Raiders
QB: Derek Carr
RB: Darren McFadden, Maurice Jones-Drew
WR: James Jones, Andre Holmes

-- I think this game will be close. I just don't like any of the Raiders players. I like Brandon Oliver too. I think both teams will pass more than rush. More passing yards.

Washington vs Arizona

BR: Arizona 24 Washington 14
Vegas: AZ 24 Wash 21
Me: AZ 31 Wash 27

Arizona Cardinals

QB: Carson Palmer, Drew Stanton

RB: Andre Ellington

WR: Michael Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald, 

Washington Redskins

QB: Kirk Cousins

RB: Alfred Morris

WR: Pierre Garcon, DeSean Jackson, Jordan Reed

-- Yikes...this could be a bad game. Both teams will rush more than pass. Should have more pass yards than rush yards.

Dallas vs Seattle

BR: Dallas 20 Seattle 27
Vegas: Dallas 20 Seattle 28
Me: Dallas 27 Seattle 24

Dallas Cowboys:

QB: Tony Romo

RB: Demarco Murray

WR: Dez Bryant, Terrance Williams, Jason Witten

Seattle Seahawks

QB: Russel Wilson

RB: Marshawn Lynch

WR: Percy Harvin, Doug Baldwin

-- I'm kind of going with my heart, I try to pick one upset a week, and this is it. Maybe it's because I'm a Cowboy fan, who knows. Anyway, both teams will Rush...a LOT. More rush attempts, more passing yards for each team. 

SUNDAY NIGHT GAME
NY Giants vs Philadelphia

BR: NYG 28 Philadelphia 27
Vegas: NYG 24 Philly 26
Me: Philly 33 NYG 30

NY Giants
QB: Eli Manning
RB: Andre Williams, Rashad Jennings (Is out, don't pick him)
WR: Victor Cruz, Larry Donnel, Rueben Randle, O'Dell Beckham

Philadelphia Eagles
QB: Nick Foles
RB: Lesean McCoy, Darrin Sproles
WR: Jeremy Maclin, Zach Ertz, Jordan Matthews
-- I think a lot of scoring here. Both teams will rush more, but more passing yards.

Chicago vs Atlanta

Bleacher Report: Atlanta 31 Chicago 27

Vegas: Atlanta 29 Chicago 26

Me: Atlanta 31 Chicago 24

Chicago Bears

QB: Jay Cutler

RB: Matt Forte

WR: Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey

Atlanta Falcons

QB: Matt Ryan

RB: Steven Jackson, Antoine Smith

WR: Julio Jones, Roddy White

-- Both defenses are just okay. Matt Forte should have a really good game. Both teams pass and rush evenly (attempts). I would choose pass attempts and passing yards. I like Ryan better than Cutler. WRs: Julio, Marshall, Jeffrey and Roddy.

New England vs Buffalo

Bleacher Report: New England 21 Buffalo 24

Vegas: Buffalo 24 New England 21

Me: Buffalo 23 New England 20

Buffalo Bills

QB: Kyle Orton

RB: Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller

WR: Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Mike Williams

QB: Tom Brady

RB: Shane Vereen, Steven Ridley

WR: Julian Edelman, Aaron Dobson, Brandon Lafell
-- Both teams are just kind of average. Flip a coin to find the winner. The offense is really spread out so I have no clue who will be best haha. Both teams will rush more than pass (attempts). More Passing Yards than Rushing yards.

Carolina vs Cincinnati

Bleacher Report: Cincinnati 31 Carolina 21

Vegas: Cincinnati 25 Carolina 18

Me: Carolina 17 Cincinnati 13

Cincinnati Bengals

QB: Andy Dalton

RB: Giovanni Bernard

WR: Muhammud Sanu

Carolina Panthers

QB: Cam Newton

RB: Darrin Reeves, Jonathan Stewart*

WR: Kelvin Benjamin

-- I think this will be a big defensive game. No AJ Green for the Bengals (or my fantasy team). I think both teams will have more rush attempts and more pass yards. Giovanni Bernard will be the best running back to choose. Muhammud Sanu might be okay, but I'd take Kelvin Benjamin first.

Pittsburgh vs Cleveland 

Bleacher Reprot: Browns 17 Steelers 14

Vegas: Browns 24 Steelers 24 (They think it will be a "coin flip" game"

Me: Browns 37 Steelers 31

Cleveland Browns

QB: Brain Hoyer, Jonny Manziel

RB: Ben Tate, Terrance West, Isiah Crowell

WR: Miles, Austin, Andrew Hawkins (yards), Travis Benjamin (TDs)

Pittsburgh Steelers

QB: Ben Roelisthberger

RB: Leveon Bell, Legarette Blount

WR: Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton

-- This should be a good game. Browns almost came back to beat the Steelers in the first game. Ben Tate did well then, maybe he'll do well again. Should be lots of good offense. Vegas has this as another coin flip game. I have a feeling about the Browns.

Green Bay vs Miami

Bleacher Report: Green Bay 34 Miami 28

Vegas: GB 26 Miami 23

Me: Green Bay 23 Miami 17

Green Bay Packers

QB: Aaron Rodgers

RB: Eddie Lacy

WR: Jordy Nelson (yards), Randall Cobb (TDs)

Miami Dolphins

QB: Ryan Tannehill

RB: Lamar Miller, Knowshon Moreno*

WR: Mike Wallace

-- I think this game will be close. Green Bay doesn't play as well on the road and Miami is coming off a bye week. Both teams should rush more and have more passing yards. I like the Dolphins running backs too, just don't know which one. Moreno broke his elbow 4 weeks ago, but he's coming back, so we will see how that affects him.

Detroit vs Minnesota

Bleacher Report: Minnesota 20 Detroit 17

Vegas: Minnesota 23 Detroit 21

Me: Detroit 24 Minnesota 17

Detroit Lions

QB: Matthew Stafford

RB: Joquie Bell, Theo Riddick, George Wynn

WR: Golden Tate, 

Minnesota Vikings

QB: Teddy Bridgewater

RB: Matt Asiata

WR: Cordelle Patterson, Greg Jennings

--Lions are missing both Calving Johnson and Reggie Bush. I still think they win after being embarrassed last week. Lions will pass more than rush (attempts) and have more passing yards. Golden Tate should be good. Vikings should rush more than pass.

Denver vs NY Jets

Bleacher Report: Denver 38 NY Jets 10

Vegas: Denver 29 NY Jets 20

Me: Denver 45 NY Jets 13

Denver Broncos

QB: Peyton Manning

RB: Ronnie Hillman, CJ Anderson, Juwan Thompson

WR: Demaryius Thomas, Emmaunel Sanders, Wes Welker

NY Jets

QB: Geno Smith, Michael Vick

RB: Chris Ivory, Chris Johnson

WR: Eric Decker, Jeremy Kelley

-- Jets are bad, Broncos are good.... simple haha. Don't know who the rusher will be for the Broncos but Montee Ball is out. I like ALL the Denver WRs more than Eric Decker, but I think Decker will score at least once, just don't know when. Denver will pass more than rush (in the first 3 quarters) and they will have more pass yards than rush. Jets will have to do more passing than rushing.

Jacksonville vs Tennessee

BR: Tennessee 24 Jacksonville 13

Vegas: Tennessee 23 Jacksonville 19

Me: Tennessee 30 Jacksonville 20

Tennessee Titans

QB: Charlie Whitehurst

RB: Bishop Sankey

WR: Kendall Wright, Justin Hunter

Jacksonville Jaguars

QB: Blake Bortles

RB: Storm Johnson

WR: Cecil Shorts, Marquise Lee, Allen Robinson, Allen Hurns

--Both teams? Bad, very bad. I think Sankey has a chance to be good...everyone else is a coin flip. They should both rush more than pass and have more passing yards than rushing yards.

Baltimore vs Tampa Bay

BR: Baltimore 27 Tampa Bay 21

Vegas: Balt 23 TB 20

Me: Balt 27 TB 24

Baltimore Ravens

QB: Joe Flacco

RB: Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce*, Lorenzo Taliaferro

WR: Steve Smith, Torry Smith

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

QB: Mike Glennon

RB: Doug Martin, Bobby Rainey

WR: Vincent Jackson

-- I think both Steve Smith and Vincent Jackson score. Flacco is better than Glennon. Both teams will rush more than pass, but have more Passing Yards than Rushing Yards

Indianapolis vs Houston

Bleacher Report: Indianapolis 31 Houston 20

Vegas: Indianapolis 24 Houston 21

Me: Indianpolis 17 Houston 13

Indianapolis Colts

QB: Andrew Luck

RB: Ahmad Bradshaw, Trent Richardson

WR: TY Hilton, Reggie Wayne, Hakeen Nicks

Houston Texans:

QB: Ryan Fitzpatrick

RB: Arian Foster*, Alfred Blue

WR: Deandre Hopkins, Andre Johnson
Kicker: Randy Bullock

-- Thursday games are weird. We haven't had a "great" game yet, but this could be one because both games are 3-2, going for the division lead. I am going to guess it will be a stinker. Luck is the one of the best QBs in the game. Colts throw and run about the same (attempts). I think the Colts will have more PASSING yards. The Texans rush more than pass (attempts). Yards could be even though. RBs: Foster, Bradshaw, Richardson. WRs: Hilton, Hopkins, Wayne, Johnson.
