New England Patriots (4-2) at Chicago Bears (3-2)1:00pm from linchao's blog

ET Mark Barron Color Rush Jersey , CBSInteresting game here. The Pats are riding a three-game winning streak while the Bears look to continue one of the better turnarounds from 2017. At home, it’s certainly going to set up well for the Bears to pull for the upset. Would make perhaps for more of an interesting setting were the weather befitting of a Pats-Bears matchup...Buffalo Bills (2-4) at Indianapolis Colts (1-5)1:00pm ET, CBSWoof.Reminder: the Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota in Week 3, 27-6. The NFL is very NFL.Detroit Lions (2-3) at Miami Dolphins (4-2)1:00pm ET Rob Havenstein Jersey , FOXThe Dolphins have a chance to start 5-2, but the odds have swung against it entirely. The Fins opened as four-point favorites, but the Lions are now favored by a field goal.Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) at New York Jets (3-3)1:00pm ET, FOXThis might be the game of the early slate with both teams trying to stay in mix of the developing playoff settings. After a season in which they reached the NFC Championship Cory Littleton Jersey Black Friday , the Vikes have gone without a win in three of their first six games. Meanwhile, the Jets have really picked up their game in 2018. While I’m skeptical of how long they can sustain this level of play, defending home field against the Vikings would be an impressive statement.Carolina Panthers (3-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-3)1:00pm ET, FOXAnother captivating matchup that might be less about who wins and more about who loses.Cleveland Browns (2-3-1) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3)1:00pm ET https://www.ramsfanstore.com/John-Kelly-Jersey , FOXThe Browns have been a fun team early on if only for escaping the absolute bottom of the barrel that they’ve occupied in recent years. Still...they’re 2-3-1 and well beyond the mark right now. If they can get a road win here though, things get really fun with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs up the next two weeks. The Bucs on the other hand are on a three-game losing streak with QB Jameis Winston now two games removed from his suspension.Houston Texans (3-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3)1:00pm ET, CBSYES PLEASE. Time For The First Semester FinalOur Los Angeles Rams are at the halfway point during the 2018 season as the only undefeated team at 8-0. They head out on the road to face-off against the 6-1 New Orleans Saints in Week 9 headed up by Head Coach Sean Payton, a offensive guru with future Hall of Famer QB Drew Brees leading his offense.The collective wisdom of most national pundits has the Rams losing this game. Why? Is it the fact the Saints are the second best team in the NFC Conference having run up six straight victories against opposition the pundits do respect?Is it that they’re at home?Is it simply that many expect the Rams to lose a game at some point and this is as good as any?I’m requesting for this exam that we put ours feeling aside for moment and take hard look at this game based on football knowledge. I’m giving students the chance in the comment section to answer four easy questions for our halfway through the year exam.

Correct answers will be given extra credit:Is the fact that the Rams will playing a road game in the Dome against the Saints that much different from the Rams playing at home before hostile crowds in the Coliseum?I’m looking forward to reading your comments/answers because I believe that an appropriate analysis will get you the right answer on who wins this game and most importantly, why.
