The NFL season is heating up, and the competition between PFT's very own Florio and Simms is getting tighter! A one-game difference is all that separates them, and with each week, the tension rises. But who will come out on top in Week 7? Let's dive into their predictions and find out.
Florio and Simms have been neck-and-neck, with only a slight advantage for Florio. Last week, Chris took a chance on the Bears, and it paid off, narrowing the gap. He predicted 10 correct outcomes, while Florio managed 9. This week, they disagree on several games, which could be the turning point in their friendly rivalry.
Here's the breakdown:
- Steelers vs. Bengals: Both predict a Steelers victory, but Simms gives the Bengals a few more points, indicating a closer game.
- Rams vs. Jaguars: Puka Nacua's potential absence doesn't deter them from favoring the Rams, but Simms foresees a more dominant performance.
- Saints at Bears: The Bears' recent success under Ben Johnson is acknowledged, with both predicting a Bears win, but Simms expects a higher-scoring affair.
- Dolphins at Browns: Weather conditions and team morale might impact the Dolphins, leading both to pick the Browns, but Simms predicts a slightly wider margin.
- Raiders at Chiefs: With the Chiefs regaining their form and their top receiver, both agree on a Chiefs win, but Simms keeps it closer.
And now, the controversial picks:
- Eagles at Vikings: Florio and Simms disagree on the outcome, with Florio predicting a narrow Eagles win and Simms suggesting a Vikings victory. Will the Eagles' recent struggles continue?
- Panthers at Jets: The Panthers' resurgence is noted, and the Jets' struggles continue. But will the Jets surprise us?
- Patriots at Titans: A bold prediction here, as both foresee a significant Patriots win, which could be a turning point for the Titans.
- Giants at Broncos: The Broncos need to step up their game, and the predictions reflect that, but Simms expects a lower-scoring game.
The remaining games:
- Colts at Chargers: Florio and Simms agree on a Colts win, but Simms predicts a higher-scoring matchup.
- Packers at Cardinals: Jacoby Brissett's potential impact is considered, and both go with a Packers victory.
- Commanders at Cowboys: A high-scoring shootout is expected, but Simms believes the Commanders will edge out the Cowboys.
- Falcons at 49ers: The 49ers' Fred Warner injury is a significant factor, and both predict a Falcons win.
- Buccaneers at Lions: The Lions' loss to the Chiefs might impact the Bucs' confidence, leading to a Lions win in both predictions.
- Texans at Seahawks: Can the Seahawks reclaim their home dominance? Florio says yes, while Simms predicts a low-scoring game.
