The top of the NFC West is crowded. San Francisco has their second straight primetime game, this time against a surging Chicago Bears team, while the Seattle Seahawks look to hang onto first place. We also can’t write off the Los Angeles Rams after losing by the narrowest of margins in Week 16. It’s going to be another action-packed week. Now, read on for two bold predictions for each NFC West team as we head into Week 17.
Week 17 NFC West Bold Predictions
Arizona Cardinals
McBride Feasts
I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t exactly the best defensive team. When it comes to opposing tight ends, in fact, they are the worst. It works out well, then, that Trey McBride is one of the best tight ends in the game. McBride has had three games of at least 100 receiving yards this season, and this week, I’d expect him to make it four while catching his 11th touchdown of the season.
Brissett Gets Back Over 300
Seeing Jacoby Brissett’s success early this season was a little surprising. The backup quarterback was known more as a game manager, but instead, he has four games of at least 300 passing yards. Over the past two weeks, Brissett has taken a step back, but I’m expecting that to reverse in Week 16. After all, the Bengals are the perfect opponent.
