So much shock this past week! Whether it was the Bills vs. Pats defensive battle that saw only 3 pass attempts from New England, the Steelers knocking off the Ravens by a razor thin margin, or the Lions notching their first win of the season, we had a lot of surprise unfold. And this week shouldn’t be any different, as George and David break down what to expect for four of the week’s biggest matchups!
First off, they begin discussing the Bengals hosting the 49ers in what could be a matchup with colossal impact for both teams potentially backed into a corner to fight for their playoff chances. The Bengals have certainly been a shocker this year as a team with how dangerous they can be on both sides of the ball. Are they dangerous enough though to bounce back after their demoralizing loss to the Chargers? We’ll see.
Next up, the Cowboys head to FedEx Field to take on red hot Washington in an NFC East rivalry matchup that could yield surprising results…or Washington could come back down to earth after four straight wins. Contending with Dallas’ high-powered offense might be a tall order to fill, but don’t put it past Washington to make it happen, when they did it to Tampa a few weeks prior.
Speaking of the Bucs, they’ll be playing host to the Bills this week who have stumbled down to 7-5, where many people didn’t expect them to be at this juncture in the season. They may have kept the Patriots offense at bay with just coughing up 14 points last week, but they can’t afford any hangover this week from their own offense that put up just a measly 10 themselves, especially against the QB GOAT Tom Brady.
And lastly, this will be the matchup to dictate the course of the NFC West, between the Rams and the Cardinals. The first time around, the Rams were absolutely walloped and put on notice by the Cardinals on both sides of the ball. The second time around could be more interesting, if one key figure plays a significant role in the Rams offense against the Cardinals this week. Hear what they have to say about that and a whole lot more in this week’s episode of the OTH Football Podcast, sponsored by SimBull and presented by OvertimeHeroics.Net!
