Falcons vs Buccaneers 8:30 pm NFL Network Thursday Night Football

 The Falcons had many questioning them after getting off to yet another hot start and then losing consecutive games to the Seahawks and the Chargers. Last week they played the Packers and I truly believe they are going to be a playoff contender, with Matt Ryan and Julio Jones at the head of their offense and an above average defense leading the way. The Buccaneers are a team on the come up and they have found their quarterback of the future with Jameis Winston, but the they haven’t played very disciplined and are losing games because of their defense. There still is a chance for them to get hot in the second half and pass the Falcons in the NFC South.

Falcons keep it going 28-21

Broncos vs Raiders 8:30 pm NBC Sunday Night Football

The two teams atop the AFC West, one of the best divisions in football, are playing great coming in. The Raiders are 6-2 with one of the youngest offenses in the league, and Derek Carr is destroying defenses so far (last week threw for 500 yards and 4 touchdowns). The Broncos offense is their weak spot, but like I have said they don’t need a quarterback to win games and their defense is still the best in the league by far. I think the Broncos will be able to score points on this Raiders pass defense and will slow down Carr and his offense.

Broncos win 24-18

Bills vs Seahawks 8:30 pm ESPN Monday Night Football

The Seahawks and Bills are two struggling teams; the Bills got beaten by the Pats last week to lose two weeks in a row and the Seahawks’ offense has been absent for most of this season. The Seahawks tend to do this every year, start slow and pick it up towards the middle/end of the season and I think they will start to do that in the next few weeks. The Bills defense has really struggled in a lot of their losses and Tyrod Taylor is going to need to do a better job carrying their offense.

Seahawks win 16-13
