How's it going, everyone? This is Josh Dietrich with Bo Wilkin. Say hi, Bo. How's it going? So we're doing our podcast here. We're going to do it over this Sunday's NFL games. We're just going to talk about predictions for each game, give a little rundown of how we think each game is going to go, and that's what this is all going to entail. So first up, for the noon games on Sunday, we're starting off with the Colts and the Ravens. So, Bo, what are your predictions for that one? I hate to say it against your four, your best team, but I got the Ravens winning this one. I also have the Ravens. The Ravens, they are pretty banged up right now. I think it said six of their starters, two on the O-line, two on the secondary, I think, and an edge rusher and one of their best receivers are all out, but the Colts are pretty banged up, too. Their starting quarterback, Ricky Anthony Richardson, is out with a concussion. Same with center Ryan Kelly, so, I mean, it's going to be wet there, a hurricane's coming up the coast, and I think Ravens got the best shot at that one. Move on to our next game, we've got the Titans and the Browns. I think this one can go either way, but the Browns lose to the Nick Chubb on Monday. Their running back game is going to be a little bit weak. They did just sign Kareem Hunt, but, I mean, the Titans are playing solid right now. Derek Henry's got a full head of steam, and I got the Titans in that one. I'm going opposite, and I'm going the Browns. The Titans have one of the worst secondaries, I believe Deshaun Watson, Amari Cooper, they're going to link up for a couple times, and they're both going to have a pretty big game. Alright, move on to the next one, we've got the Falcons and the Lions. The Falcons are 2-0, but the teams that they have played in the past two weeks have been kind of crappy, but they're still getting their feet wet in the water, and I don't know, I like the Lions in this one. I think the Lions, they've got good veterans on their team. They know how to play. They've played in tough environments. They had a tough loss in overtime last week against the Seahawks, but I got the Lions in this one. I'll have to agree, not been impressed with Desmond Ritter's game so far, even though David Montgomery is out, I believe Jameer Gibbs will have a big day on the ground. Next one, we've got the Saints and the Packers. Packers are at home in a rainy Green Bay, Wisconsin. Saints are undefeated, they're 2-0. Jordan Love still showing glimpses of what he can do as a starting quarterback for the Packers. I think this could go either way, and I think the Packers are going to be able to pull this one out at home. I think a sold-out Lambeau Field is really going to help the Packers here, and they will take this one to hand the Saints their first loss of the year. Next one, we're going to the AFC South, the Texans and the Jaguars. Jaguars are home in Jacksonville, Florida. T.J. Stroud had his best game as a rookie last year, throwing for a 359-yard passing, but I mean, the Jaguars, they are 1-1, but I mean, Trevor Lawrence is the more experienced quarterback in this situation, and the Jaguars' defense has been playing nights out as of late, and I think I got the Jaguars on this one. Yep, I believe this will be a closer game than people expect, but I believe the Jaguars will bounce back from their loss last week to the Chiefs, and they'll pick up another win. Next game, we're moving to Miami. We got the Broncos and the Dolphins. Dolphins are 2-0 with the Broncos being 0-2. The Broncos, they're not playing bad. They're just getting themselves into tough situations and making games longer than they should be. I mean, they lost last week to the Commanders, who are, in my opinion, one of the worst teams in football, but they're still getting the reins, kind of working there with Sean Payton and Russell Wilson, but I mean, Tua's playing nights out right now. Tyree Kill's a monster on the receiving end, and I think the Dolphins are too much for the Broncos. I will agree with that. I believe it's going to be a low-scoring game. I feel like the Broncos are going to try to slow it down. You got Pat Sertain guarding Tyree Kill this week. It's going to be a matchup of the week, but still see the Dolphins pulling this one out because they have too much talent on offense. Next one, we're moving to the Chargers, taking a visit up to Minneapolis, visiting the Vikings. Both 0-2 teams. That should not be 0-2, but they're both headed with the Chargers, are headed with Justin Herbert and a trio of receivers, Quentin Johnston, Keaton Allen, and Mike Williams, as long as Austin Echler. And the Vikings, of course, have the best receiver in football right now with Justin Jefferson. Honestly, this could go either way. It just depends on their quarterback play. If Kirk Cousins can deliver the ball as well as he has, same with Justin Herbert, it's going to be a toss-up between the two, but I think the Vikings are going to get their first win at home. I have to say otherwise. Although they ruled Austin Echler out for this week, I believe the Vikings' defense in secondary cannot keep up with Herbert and his options at wide receiver. So this game's going to be a shootout, but I'm going to the Chargers. Moving to the next noon game, we've got the Patriots visiting the Jets. There's a stat I read this week. The Jets have not beaten the Patriots since 2015, and that's like eight years ago. So that's been a long time. I do think that that streak continues. I do think the Patriots go into MetLife Stadium. The Patriots' defense just lights out, and the Jets are still trying to work Zach Wilson in with the entry to Aaron Rodgers as of late, and I really think the Patriots are going to take this one. Yeah, I agree. The Patriots have played two very tough teams, and the Eagles and the Dolphins kept both games close. I got this one being a blowout. Next one, we've got the Bills and the Commanders. The Bills are obviously headed with Josh Allen, Stephon Diggs, and Gabe Davis, Dawson Knox, Dawn Kincaid. We've got a very high-powered offense. Josh Allen figured it out last week. He didn't play that well in the first game against the Jets, but he got it figured out. So I'm taking the Bills easy in this one. The Bills will indeed blow out the Commanders here. Moving on to our middle afternoon games, we've got the Panthers visiting the Seahawks in Seattle. Bryce Young's out this week, so the Panthers are going a different way with their quarterback situation. They're starting Andy Dalton, but I think this is a no-brainer. I think the Seahawks got this one all wrapped up. I mean, the Panthers' offense is still having struggles with first-year head coach Frank Reich. I mean, he's still calling the plays, but their offense just cannot move the ball. The Seahawks' offense, led by Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker and D.K. Metcalfe, he got the Seahawks easy in this one. With or without Bryce Young, I believe the Seahawks would give the Panthers, so I got the Seahawks in this one. We've got our next game. We've got the Cowboys in Arizona at the Cardinals. The Cowboys' defense is the best defense in the National Football League, and no one is stopping Micah Parsons. That man will wreak havoc on the O-line all day, causing the Cardinals' trouble. He'll probably be lined up across from rookie tackle Paris Johnson out of Ohio State. I think it's going to be Paris Johnson's first wake-up call to the NFL, and I got the Cowboys big in this one. You know, hearing the news about Trayvon Bigg starting his ACL, the Cowboys are going to want to play for him. They're going to win big in this one. Next one, we've got the Bears visiting the Chiefs in Kansas City. Justin Fields just has not looked like himself the past two games, and I think that's still going to struggle in Kansas City, and I got the Chiefs getting this one. This one, I believe, is going to be a lot closer than people think. I got Fields and the Bears bouncing back, and they're taking this one in Kansas City. We go to our final game of Sunday night. We've got the Steelers and the Raiders on Sunday night football. The Steelers are in Las Vegas. Two new quarterbacks for both teams. Kenny Pickett is coming into his sophomore year. He's not playing half bad. Jimmy Grappolo, also not playing half bad. Raiders are kind of shook up right now. I think Devontae Adams is going to miss this game with a concussion. Steelers defense also is not terrible, and they're pretty solid, and they got some good depth, but I think Kenny Pickett and the Steelers are going to get this one. I think the Raiders will establish the run game early in this one, open the play action, so I'm taking the Raiders. And we'll move on to Monday night quick, get the two Monday night games out of the way for week three of the NFL. We got at 6-15 on Monday night, we got the Eagles and Tampa Bay against the Bucs. Both undefeated teams. Very surprised, though, that the Buccaneers are undefeated at this time, but that Eagles defense is just one of the best. I've been saying that a lot this podcast, about a lot of good defenses, but the Eagles are legit, and I really think they're going to mess up the Buccaneers' undefeated season in Tampa. I believe the offense will figure stuff out. Andrew Brown has a big game. The Eagles win by 14. Final game of week three in the NFL, we got the Rams visiting the Bengals in Cincinnati. The Bengals are 0-2, and Joe Burrow has been struggling of late. He just recently became the highest paid NFL player in history, but he hasn't been playing like it. I do think, however, that he does figure out his situation, and they beat the Rams pretty easily in this one. Joe Burrow is still questionable for this game, but I believe he will play. He will have a monster game against this Rams defense. Bengals pick up their first win of the year. That'll do it from us on this end. I want to thank you all for listening to this podcast, and we'll see you in the next one.
