NFL Network analysts have weighed in with their bold predictions, setting the stage for a thrilling slate of games.
The Seattle Seahawks, aiming to prove their impeccable 3-0 start is no accident, will take on the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football. Central to this potential upset is quarterback Geno Smith, alongside offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, showcasing a revitalized passing attack. Smith is predicted to throw four touchdown passes, with key players DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba all making significant plays. This impressive performance could see Seattle achieving a 4-0 record for the first time since 2020.
Sunday Night Football promises excitement, not for its quarterback duel between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, but for its critical moments. Justin Tucker, historically reliable, has missed three field goals in as many weeks, each from beyond 50 yards. However, analysts foresee Tucker rebounding to kick three successful field goals, including a game-winner from over 50 yards, potentially altering the game's outcome.
The Chicago Bears, buoyed by Caleb Williams' 363-yard performance last week, are set to challenge the Los Angeles Rams' vulnerable secondary. Should Williams and rookie receiver Rome Odunze continue their downfield synergy, Williams could see his best game yet, with predictions of three touchdown passes boosting Chicago's offense.
Andy Dalton, fresh off a historic performance for the Panthers, is poised to face his former team, the winless Cincinnati Bengals. With the Bengals' defense underperforming, Dalton could lead Carolina to a surprising 26-24 victory. Diontae Johnson is expected to shine, potentially setting a new franchise record with 15 receptions, surpassing Steve Smith Sr.'s mark.
In a highly anticipated matchup between dual-threat quarterbacks, rookie Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders will face off against Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals. Daniels, coming off a breakout game, is expected to outshine Murray in both passing and rushing, further establishing himself as an emerging star.
As Week 4 approaches, the stage is set for unforgettable performances that could redefine the season's trajectory for several teams.
