Kirk Cousins in Santa mode
There's you, who hasn't started looking for Christmas presents, and there's Kirk Cousins who's already handing them out. Four interceptions for the quarterback, including two for young Tarheeb Still whose list was well received. His arm is made of foam.
Expected to be the savior, Kirk Cousins has now become the gravedigger of his team. The Falcons are under threat from the Buccaneers in the division, and optimism is not there. It is sometimes easy to blame a player for a defeat, but in this match it is difficult not to do so.
The Packers have a defense
For the third week in a row, the Packers limited their opponents to less than 20 points. Green Bay doesn't just have a fiery offense, they are finally a complete team. Xavier McKinney has become the boss of this defense, and some disappointments are starting to become good players, like Quay Walker.
The group is doing well, and the match against the Lions on Thursday will be an XXL test for this group.
The Chiefs win
Every week, the Chiefs find a way to win. This often involves opposing errors, like three missed field goals and a fumble, but it works every week. There are two ways of reading this state of affairs:
- The Chiefs are a fraud and are going to be exposed like the Eagles in 2023.
- The Chiefs have the psychological ascendancy against opponents and will eventually win a third title with their confidence still intact.
It's up to you.
The three candidates for the first choice are known
New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders. It seems obvious week after week that these three teams will compete for the first pick in the draft.
For these teams, the tank bowl will take place on December 22, with a clash between Jaguars and Raiders. Woe to the victor.
Richardson / Young, the paths of redemption
What if putting a young quarterback on the bench was the solution? Since they lost their indisputable starting status, the two young quarterbacks Anthony Richardson (Colts) and Bryce Young (Panthers) seem liberated.
Richardson carried his team to victory by being decisive for the second time in 3 weeks, while Bryce Young held off the heavily favored Buccaneers in this match. While the future of the two young players was bleak some time ago, it seems certain that they will have the opportunity to develop and remain starters next season.
Joe Burrow is the MVP of our hearts
3,337 yards, 30 touchdowns, 5 interceptions. And yet the Bengals are no longer even in the playoff race. Every week, Cincinnati's defense does worse, conceding more than 40 points against the Steelers this Sunday.
Joe Burrow is having the season of his life, and it's to no avail.
The Seahawks are favorites in the NFC West
In a game that was as disjointed as it was strange, the Seahawks got a valuable victory against the Jets. At the same time, the Cardinals and 49ers lost ground. This is an excellent mathematical operation for Geno Smith's squad.
More than ever, Seattle is favorite in its division, and that's no small thing.
Eagles – Lions, dream poster?
The two best teams in the league are in the NFC. And the idea of having a conference final between these two groups can only appeal to neutral supporters. The Lions seem to be invincible, but the game against the Bears showed that they are not perfect.
The Eagles finally won a game that counted, away against the Ravens. It seems increasingly unlikely that the NFC will send a team other than these two to the Super Bowl. Only the Packers seem to be able to play the surprise guest.
Josh Allen will be MVP
The race for MVP seems to be between two men: Josh Allen (Bills) and Saquon Barkley (Eagles). Last season taught us: runners don't win the MVP. Congratulations to Josh Allen for his first title of best player of the year.
