Read below for my thoughts on NFL Week 18.
Let's dive into the questions and my predictions below.
1. Which QB will have the MOST PASSING YARDS?
Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford, Trevor Lawrence, Caleb Williams
Who needs to have the most passing yards? In order to get the NFC 5-seed, Stafford's Rams need to win and hope the 49ers lose. Lawrence and the Jags need to win (or the Texans need to lose) in order for Jacksonville to lock up the AFC South, and Williams' Bears need to win (or the Eagles need to lose) to hold on to the No. 2 seed in the NFC. Lawrence gets Tennessee at home, and he's thrown for 266.8 yards in the Jags' last six games.
PREDICTION: Trevor Lawrence
2. Rank the teams by who will score the MOST POINTS this week (highest to lowest):
The Lions are out of playoff contention, but they can still play spoiler against an NFC North rival. I think they will go hard against Chicago. Meanwhile, the Giants have the worst defense in the league, and the Cowboys are not far behind. Could that be a mini shootout, with a bunch of backups taking the field at some point?
PREDICTION: Cowboys, Bears, Giants, Lions
3. Which of the following will occur?
D'Andre Swift 70+ rushing yards
Tyler Shough 250+ passing yards
Drake Maye 3+ passing TDs
None
Tyler Shough is kinda good? New Orleans doesn't get much attention, but its QB is putting together some impressive passing performances. He's averaging 304.3 passing yards per game over the last three, and the Saints are on a four-game winning streak.
PREDICTION: Tyler Shough 250+ passing yards
4. Predict Jahmyr Gibbs TOTAL SCRIMMAGE YARDS vs. CHI:
After a 231-yard game against the Giants in Week 12, Gibbs has 226 total yards in Detroit's past five games. What gives? Your guess is as good as mine as to how much he is used in Week 18, with the Lions out of the playoff field.
PREDICTION: 0-95
5. Which player will have the MOST RECEIVING YARDS?
George Pickens, Nico Collins, Trey McBride, Chris Olave
Let's go with Collins at home against the Colts, in a game the Texans need to win. He had five catches for 98 yards against Indy in the two teams' first matchup, and now, the Colts have nothing to play for.
PREDICTION: Nico Collins
6. What will be the outcome of this game?
Lions win, tie or lose by 2 points or fewer OR Bears win by 3 points or more
I don't think this is going to be a blowout, but I do think the Bears are simply the better team. And again, they need to win to secure the 2-seed in the NFC, unless Philly plans to lose at home to the lowly Commanders. Also, Chicago lost to Detroit in Week 2, 52-21. The two teams have been on separate paths since then, but Ben Johnson will want some get-back against his former squad.
PREDICTION: Bears win by 3 points or more
Tiebreaker: What will be the final score?
PREDICTION: Bears 30, Lions 24
