So, didn't pay any attention to the game last night.
Chargers @ SEA
Depends on Gordon... Both teams are fairly equal in the sense that neither is really dominant, but @ SEA if Gordon is out, I give the edge to SEA. Although, Carson is now listed as questionable as well.
(which is awesome as both are my starters this week in Fantasy)
SEA has a top 3 Defense overall and vs the Pass.
LAC is 11th overall and 12th vs the Pass.
Teams are ranked 11/12 vs the run. Fairly equal.
Firepower wise, I give the edge to the Chargers, but it's a tough road win. I'll say
SEA 27 / LAC 24
Broncos vs HOU
Defensively, HOU is 16th overall and DEN is 24th. They're 16/17 respectively vs the pass. Against the rush, Denver is 29th vs them at 12.
Denver has thin air... so, that naturally eliminates any other statistical advantage.
(that's PA) Losing Fuller hurts and will be interesting to see what role DT plays, if any.
Both offenses have turned the ball over 11 times. Both offenses are similar, HOU is a bit better passing, DEN a bit better rushing.
Loss of Fuller could impact them, but Hopkins will be productive. I think Denver does enough to win this one, won't be too pretty and Sutton will have a solid game.
DEN 30 / HOU 24
Chiefs @ CLE
Road game is always interesting and the Chiefs are going to be a very tough beat. What can Mayfield and Chubb do vs that defense? I won't worry with the statistical rankings, edge to KC all around. Mahomes and company will just be too much for the Browns. I think CLE can make it interesting for a bit, just enough to drive some of you mad, but it will be temporary.
I figure the Chiefs win this fairly easily in the end.
Chiefs 41 / CLE 31
Then again - DEN losing would not be a surprise. KC losing would be a total shocker.
