The
Bills have thrown for a measley 13 touchdowns this season.
Tyrod Taylor's tossed 12 of them. I don't think anyone expects Buffalo's passing game to take off
against the Patriots, but I predict that Taylor will toss more TDs than
Tom Brady.
What a matchup
Minnesota at Atlanta is about to be. The
Falcons' offense and the
Vikings' defense have been respectively great in several categories (third down, explosive plays and yards per play) in recent weeks. In this Golaith vs. Golaith contest, Mike Zimmer's unit outplays the
Falcons and holds the birds to 10 points or less.
This may not have been very bold in other years, but it's definitely a stretch this year. Right now,
Joe Flacco ranks last in the NFL (of 36 qualifying quarterbacks) in pass yards per attempt, 32nd in pass yards per game and 31st in TD-to-INT ratio and passer rating.
Yikes! But this week
against the Lions, Flacco will channel his former
Super Bowl MVP self and rack up 300 passing yards and three touchdowns.
The
Seahawks and
Eagles are playing good defense in 2017, but their Sunday night showdown is all about
Carson Wentz and
Russell Wilson. The two will combine for seven passing touchdowns.
Cam Newton takes the NFC South spotlight in Week 13.
Against the Saints, the 2015 league MVP records two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns in a win.
