The City of Brotherly Love anxiously awaits the arrival of the Seattle Seahawks as they will take on the Philadelphia Eagles on "Monday Night Football." It will be the third straight meeting between these two teams at Lincoln Financial Field with the Seahawks winning the last one in the NFC Wild Card game last January by a score of 17-9 after winning the regular-season matchup by the same score of 17-9 back on Nov. 24, 2019.

 

When you draw up the ideal winning formula for the Seattle Seahawks (7-3) it entails a balanced offensive approach, playing with swagger on defense, and not backing down from any opponent. Pete Carroll's team executed this formula to a tee last Thursday night, beating Arizona 28-21 in a critical NFC West showdown. Russell Wilson took care of the football, staying turnover-free while completing 23 of 28 passes for 197 yards with two touchdowns. Carlos Hyde injected some much-needed life into the rushing attack with 79 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown. Carlos Dunlap II capped off a very good night for the defense, sacking Kyler Murray on fourth down with 34 seconds left. Dunlap has ignited this pass rush with 3.5 sacks since being traded from Cincinnati and the Seahawks as a team have collected 13 sacks over the last three games.

 

Philadelphia (3-6-1) has lost two in a row and now trails Washington (4-7) for first place in the watered-down NFC East. Last Sunday, the Eagles dropped a 22-17 decision to the Browns as Carson Wentz' season-long struggles continued. Wentz completed 21 of 35 passes while tossing two more interceptions and taking five more sacks, a microcosm of Philadelphia's offensive struggles in 2020. The Eagles also only converted two of their 12 opportunities on third down. Fans are calling for head coach Doug Pederson to make a change at quarterback, but he has remained steadfast in his commitment to Wentz rather than turning the reins over to rookie Jalen Hurts. The offense's issues overshadowed a solid performance by the defense, which held Cleveland to 324 total yards and limited the Browns' ground game to 3.4 yards per carry.

 

Monday Night Football: Seattle at Philadelphia

 

Kickoff: Monday, Nov. 30 at 8:15 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Spread: Seahawks -4.5

 

Three Things to Watch

 

1. Seahawks' commitment to offensive balance

Starting running back Chris Carson is on track to return this week to join Carlos Hyde in forming a 1-2 punch that should do well against Philadelphia's 26th-ranked rushing defense. The weather also is expected to be a bit of a factor so that would be further motivation for Carson and Hyde to get things rolling right away to buy time for the passing game to get settled in. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett will be tested against a pass defense that's allowing 209.3 yards per game, good for fifth in the NFL. If Russell Wilson can stay patient and pick his spots to get the ball to Metcalf and Lockett along with tight end Will Dissly over the middle it will get the Eagles on their heels and make it harder for them to stack the box to try and stop the run.

 

2. Philadelphia's offense vs. Seattle's defense

Carson Wentz will need to take what the Seahawks' defense gives him this week and not force unnecessary plays when they are not there. One way to avoid getting into tough situations would be for head coach and play-caller Doug Pederson to emphasize the running game. The Eagles are currently averaging 4.9 yards per carry and Miles Sanders (5.7 ypc) has provided a spark in his first two games back after missing a month because of injury. In the days leading up to the win over the Cardinals, Seattle defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. led an accountability meeting with his defense that sparked the unit's best performance of the season. The Seahawks limited Kyler Murray and the Cardinals' offense to 314 total yards, which was their lowest output of the 2020 season in large part because of that highly productive meeting. Looking ahead to Monday night, you can expect this rejuvenated defense to attack Wentz all night long as the Eagles have surrendered a league-high 40 sacks so far this season.

 

3. Seahawks' offensive line vs. Eagles' pass rush

The most important mission for the offensive line this week will be keeping Wilson relatively upright. Brandon Graham leads the Eagles with seven sacks to go along with 11 tackles for a loss. It's no secret that Philadelphia defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz will scheme pressure looks early and often as the Eagles rank second in the NFL in sacks with 34. It's going to be imperative for Seattle's front line to play assignment-sound football and not let Graham or anyone else run wild and get to Wilson. The Seahawks have surrendered 33 sacks, which ranks 30th overall in the league. Some of this can be attributed to the injuries in the backfield, which has forced Wilson to pass more, but pass protection remains an issue. The fewer hits Wilson takes in the pocket on Monday night, and definitely the fewer times he ends up on the turf behind the line of scrimmage, the better Seattle's chances are of winning this game.

 

Final Analysis

 

Seattle should come out of the gates flying after getting a few extra days to recover from last Thursday's win over Arizona. The defense should continue to improve thanks to the addition of Carlos Dunlap and the return of guys like safety Jamal Adams from injury. Russell Wilson should be able to avoid Philadelphia's aggressive pass rush enough times to make plays down the field. The Seahawks should be able to move the ball and put enough points on the board to outscore a struggling Eagles offense. Philadelphia will put up a good fight, but they don't have the firepower to match up with Wilson and company. Seattle takes care of business on the road, covers the spread, and most importantly, ensures that it stays at the top of the ultra-competitive NFC West.

 

Prediction: Seahawks 33, Eagles 20

"Monday Night Football" features an intriguing matchup of NFC playoff contenders between the Los Angeles Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A win in Tampa would tie the Rams (6-3) with the Seahawks atop the NFC West while the Buccaneers (7-3) are a half-game behind the Saints in the NFC South entering New Orleans' meeting with Atlanta on Sunday. The Saints swept the Bucs, so Tampa will need to finish with a better record to win the division.

 

Los Angeles enters this game with momentum, as the Rams came off of their bye and beat Seattle 23-16 at home last Sunday. Jared Goff topped the 300-yard mark for the second straight game and even though the Rams averaged just 3.7 yards per carry as a team, they scored three rushing touchdowns (two by Malcolm Brown). The defense did the rest, sacking Russell Wilson six times and intercepting him twice. Jalen Ramsey also made things hard on Wilson as he locked down DK Metcalf, holding him to just two catches on four targets.

 

Tampa Bay bounced back from a humbling loss to New Orleans in Week 9 by doubling up Carolina 46-23 on the road this past Sunday. Tom Brady had another strong game with 341 passing yards and three touchdowns, and Ronald Jones II's monster 192-yard performance was highlighted by a 98-yard TD run in the third quarter. The Buccaneers have scored 30 or more points in three of their last five games and are getting Antonio Brown more involved on offense. The former Steeler/Patriot wideout turned eight targets into seven receptions for 69 yards. The defense also did its job, limiting the Panthers to 187 total yards of offense while also recording three sacks and an interception.

 

Just a few weeks ago these Buccaneers beat the Giants 25-23 on "Monday Night Football" to improve their MNF record to 5-2 since 2010. This is the Rams' second Monday night appearance this season after they dispatched the Bears 24-10 in SoFi Stadium in Week 7.

 

And if this year's encounter between the two teams goes anything like last year's, fans could be in for a treat. Last season, Goff and Jameis Winston lit up the scoreboard in a wild, 55-40 Tampa Bay win. Goff put up a career-high 517 passing yards but he also tossed three interceptions and lost a fumble. Winston threw for four TDs and just one pick while Tampa's defense held the Rams to 28 rushing yards. Of course, this is now Brady's offense so we'll see what he can do against the NFL's second-ranked defense.

 

Monday Night Football: Los Angeles at Tampa Bay

 

Kickoff: Monday, Nov. 23 at 8:15 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Spread: Buccaneers -3

 

Three Things to Watch

 

1. Intangibles

Schedule-wise this game favors the road team. The Buccaneers have not had their bye yet and Bruce Arians admitted earlier in the week that his team is tired and he's had to alter the schedule a bit to keep his squad fresh. They are coming off a road divisional game and have another huge yardstick game next week at home against the Chiefs. That's not to say they will be looking ahead, but the schedule continues to be tough. The Rams had their bye two weeks ago and haven't been on the road since Nov. 1. Next week they host the 49ers as they begin a stretch with a couple of NFC West matchups.

 

2. Under pressure

The numbers are pretty clear that Tom Brady is a better quarterback when he's got a clean pocket. Brady has been sacked 14 times this season, with nine of those coming in three games — both New Orleans contests and at Chicago. Not surprisingly, Tampa Bay lost all three of these games as Brady struggled against the Saints' and Bears' defenses. Next up are the Rams, who are tied for third in the NFL with 31 sacks. Eleven different Los Angeles defenders have registered a sack, led by All-Pro Aaron Donald's nine, so Brady should expect pressure to come from everywhere. The Buccaneers are one sack ahead of the Rams on the stat sheet (Tampa has played one more game), so Jared Goff needs to be wary of the pass rush as well. He has been sacked 13 times through nine games.

 

3. Who will get Jalen Ramsey's attention?

The cornerback did some amazing work against DK Metcalf last week and figures to probably be matched up with Mike Evans. According to Pro Football Focus, Ramsey has been targeted just 34 times this season, a big reason why he has just one interception. Evans has been frustrated at times when isolated against a No. 1 corner. His battles with the Saints Marshon Lattimore have always been fun to watch. The problem for Los Angeles is that the Buccaneers still have Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown at wide receiver as well as Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate at tight end. Ronald Jones II and Leonard Fournette are capable pass catchers out of the backfield as well. This puts even more emphasis on the Rams' pass rush because facing Brady when he has time in the pocket is dangerous.

 

Final Analysis

 

Bruce Arians saying his team is tired resonated with me earlier in the week. I think the Rams have the defense to pressure Tom Brady into some mistakes. The big question is if Jared Goff can take advantage and find Robert Woods and Cooper Kupp down the field. Will Los Angeles be able to run the ball at all? I think the answer is yes and I think the road team shines brightest in primetime.

 

Prediction: Rams 27, Bucs 23

The NFL's "Black and Blue" division takes center stage to wrap up Week 10 of the 2020 season. The Chicago Bears (5-4) will host the Minnesota Vikings (3-5) under the bright lights of "Monday Night Football" at Soldier Field. Both teams are in major need of a win to keep pace in the NFC North. The Bears have lost three straight after a 5-1 start, while the Vikings have picked up two major division wins in the last two weeks. The winner of this game will gain some major ground on the Green Bay Packers in the standings.

 

Monday Night Football: Minnesota at Chicago

 

Kickoff: Monday, Nov. 16 at 8:15 p.m. ET

Spread: Vikings -2.5

 

Three Things to Watch

 

1. The Bears' woes continue

After falling to the Titans last Sunday, the Bears' losing streak stands at three. The team has been ravaged by injuries and COVID-19, but they could get some players back this week. Two players that won't be back, however, are center Cody Whitehair (COVID-19), and defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris, who was just put on injured reserve. Defensive back Deon Bush was cleared to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list, but 14 players have either missed or were limited at practice this week, including running back David Montgomery (concussion), wide receiver Allen Robinson II (knee), safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. (foot), and linebacker Roquan Smith (back). Montgomery remained in the concussion protocol as of Saturday and has been ruled out while Robinson is listed as questionable but expected to play.

 

The Bears are being outscored 74-50 during this stretch. And in the process, Nick Foles has taken 12 sacks, been hit 25 times, and thrown three interceptions, all while only averaging 6.5 yards per pass attempt. The Bears are also averaging under three yards per rushing attempt, and they've been held scoreless in seven of their last 13 quarters. Matt Nagy's play-calling continues to be questionable, the Bears' inability to adjust in-game has him on the hot seat, and Friday the team announced that offensive coordinator Bill Lazor will assume play-calling duties.

 

The offense's shortcomings have wasted strong efforts from the Bears' defense. A unit that's posted five sacks, 14 quarterback hits, 23 tackles for loss, 10 pass deflections, and one takeaway during this losing streak. A defense that's also limited their last three opponents to just 17 fourth-quarter points. The defense isn't paid to score points. The only way that the Bears are going to get out of this funk is if the offense gets its act together.

 

2. The Vikings are on a hot streak

While the Bears have struggled, the Vikings have thrived with their first winning streak of the season. And both of those wins were key divisional battles. Those games were a complete effort; the Vikings outscored the Packers and Lions 62-42, Kirk Cousins threw for 380 yards with four touchdowns (no interceptions), the offensive live has stood its ground (only 2 sacks allowed), and the defense has held its own (3 sacks, 9 QB hits, 5.5 TFL's, 6 pass deflections, 4 takeaways).

 

One of the biggest reasons for their success is Dalvin Cook, who has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for each of the last two weeks after racking up a combined 369 rushing yards, 109 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. The Bears' run defense is a relative strength, as they rank 11th in the NFL at 4.1 yards allowed per rush, but they've had mixed results in recent weeks against other top backs. Derrick Henry only picked up 68 yards on 21 carries, while Alvin Kamara tore them up for 67 yards on 12 carries plus 97 receiving yards on nine catches.

 

3. This game is crucial to the NFC North standings

The Bears trail the first-place Packers by two games, and the Vikings are 1.5 games behind the Bears. But they're also tied with the Lions at the bottom of the standings. The Bears need a win to try and keep pace with Green Bay, while the Vikings need a win to get out of the division basement. Minnesota has won two of the last five division championships ('15, '17), while the Bears last took the division crown back in '18.

 

The Vikings are finally starting to look like the team that was favored by many to win the NFC North. And if they can defeat the Bears, combined with a Jaguars win over the Packers on Sunday, the Vikings will be just a half-game behind the Bears and two games in back of Green Bay. A loss keeps them at the bottom of the division, and if Washington beats Detroit, that would give them sole possession of last place.

 

Final Analysis

 

The Bears have swept the season series with the Vikings in the two previous seasons. In fact, they have won five of the last eight meetings, including three of the last four at Soldier Field. But things are much different heading into this year's meeting. The Vikings are clicking at the right time, while the Bears are in disarray. Chicago gets another strong effort from their defense, but the Vikings manage to pull out a close win.

 

Prediction: Vikings 21, Bears 17

NFL New England Patriots vs New York Jets Monday Night Football Week 09 Free Online Live Streaming ,November 10, 2020.

Watch NFL New England Patriots vs New York Jets free live stream online match on any device .You can follow to Watch New England Patriots vs New York Jets free live streaming from here details below.

"Monday Night Football" features the winless New York Jets hosting a struggling New England Patriots team. The Pats are 2-5, having lost four straight games, while the Jets have lost six games already by double-digits. Last year, New England dispatched their division rivals 30-14 at home and 33-0 on the road. The Jets have not won a game in this series since 2015 when they needed overtime to win 26-20.

 

The Patriots sorely miss Tom Brady, as Cam Newton's fumble cost them a chance to at least tie the Bills in Buffalo last week. The former Panther has just two touchdown passes (with six more on the ground) to seven interceptions and three fumbles (one lost). An injury to Julian Edelman exposed the true lack of depth at wide receiver, and the loss of Rob Gronkowski this offseason was not properly offset. The Pats have just 10 receptions from tight ends this season. Meanwhile, the defense was ravaged by opt outs before the year began and now are adding injuries on top of it.

 

Over the last two weeks, the Jets have flashed potential in the first halves of their losses to the Chiefs and Bills. Granted, they weren't going to beat Kansas City, but the offense moved the ball and nearly had four field goals if not for the last one being blocked entering halftime. The problems came in the second half, where they've been shut out for three straight weeks.

 

Somehow, the Jets were on MNF twice last year but lost both games to the Patriots and Browns. Their last victory on this prestigious night was in Week 1 of 2018 when they went into Detroit and crushed the Lions. Meanwhile, New England has won two straight and four of their last five MNF contests.

 

Monday Night Football: New England at New York

 

Kickoff: Monday, Nov. 9 at 8:15 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Spread: Patriots -7

 

Three Things to Watch

 

1. Intangibles

This is probably going to be relatively short and sweet. The Patriots have lost four in a row and can't afford to overlook any game. It's their second straight road game and fourth overall, with a home tilt against the Ravens up next. In a normal year when New England is steamrolling the rest of this division, I'd be worried about them looking ahead, but that's not the case here. As for the Jets, they have a bye week next, which is modestly concerning because some teams give major flat efforts before the week off. Will we actually know if that's the case, though, with this bad team?

 

2. Trevor Lawrence

Will the Clemson quarterback be watching this game on Monday and rooting for the team he most likely will be drafted by in the Jets? There are some in social media who have floated the possibility that Bill Belichick is somewhat "tanking" the season in order to get Lawrence in Foxboro. This theory was originally brought about when so many New England players opted out before the year began. Both of these teams could use an upgrade at quarterback, and Lawrence would quickly take care of that. I mentioned Newton's stats above, but Darnold has just three touchdowns to six interceptions. Good luck, Trevor.

 

3. Who will step up in the muddled New England backfield?

In the past, the Patriots were able to get away with not having a true No. 1 running back because Brady, Edelman, and Gronk were a tremendous trio. Now all three are gone, with Edelman out due to injury, and although no one player has stepped up, the unit as a whole has been productive. They're third in the NFL in attempts (31.6 per game) and yardage (159.7 per game). Sony Michel was able to return to practice after missing the last few weeks. He averaged just under seven yards per carry while he was in the lineup. Damien Harris was the "lead" back the last few weeks, his workload varied greatly as he averaged 5.7 ypc. You also have to add in Rex Burkhead and James White who are the pass catchers of the group. Oh yeah, Newton also has a team-high 59 rushes for 298 yards. Good luck trying to figure out the breakdown on Monday.

 

Final Analysis

 

The Patriots are not playing good football right now, while the Jets haven't played good football for like 90 percent of the season. Someone has to win this game, and it'll probably be New England. I just don't have any faith in Adam Gase, who continues to run Frank Gore out there when there are younger options behind him who need a look. The Pats win and all is right in Foxboro for one week.

 

Prediction: Patriots 20, Jets 13

The New York Giants are on a 1-6 record heading into Week 8. Things are not looking for Joe Judge’s boys who are playing without their star running back Saquon Barkley since week two. Giants’ young shot-caller Daniel Jones will go up against one of the best defensive teams in the league. The dual-threat quarterback threw for 187 yards with two passing TDs in last week’s narrow loss to the Eagles.

He will need all the help he can get when going up against the Buccaneers on Monday. WR Sterling Shepard and Tight End Evan Engram will be crucial for the Giants when they host the Bucs at the MetLife Stadium. But the real spotlight will be on Golden Tate, Logan Ryan, and the other defensive players in the Giants team who will be kept busy by Tom Brady and his band of speedsters.

As we approach the halfway stage of the 2020 NFL season, Bruce Arians-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers are slowly emerging as outside contenders to challenge for the Super Bowl title. What’s even more exciting is the arrival of veteran NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown. The Buccaneers brought in the former Pittsburgh Steelers man on a one-year deal.

In the absence of the injured Chris Godwin, Brown could be the perfect candidate to step in and help out Tom Brady. After all, the last time Brown played in the league was beside Tom Brady’s New England Patriots in 2019. Will we see the controversial NFL wideout make his much-anticipated return to the league on Monday night?

"Monday Night Football" features the New York Giants hosting Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brady has had some memorable losses to New York in his career including two in the Super Bowl when Eli Manning was under center for Big Blue. These two teams played last year with the Giants upsetting the Bucs on the road as a late Daniel Jones rushing touchdown gave New York the win. Both Jones and Jameis Winston threw for more than 300 yards in that game. The Giants have won seven of the last eight meetings between the two teams.

 

Tampa Bay (5-2) is feeling good after an impressive 45-20 road win at Las Vegas in which Brady threw for 369 yards. He completed passes to nine different players including Scotty Miller who put up 109 yards and a touchdown. Defensively is where this team shines, though, holding five opponents to 20 points or less. The Buccaneers get pressure on the quarterback and have an underrated secondary.

 

New York (1-6), meanwhile, has had extra time to digest a tough loss to the Eagles last Thursday night that saw the Giants blow a lead late. For the fourth time this season, Jones was the team's leading passer and the leading rusher. The defense doesn't get enough credit for what it's done, limiting four teams to 24 points or less.

 

Tampa Bay has not been on "Monday Night Football" since 2018 when the Bucs lost 30-27 at home to the Steelers. Meanwhile, this is the Giants' second time playing on Monday after losing at home to the Steelers in Week 1. Since 2010, they are 6-11 on MNF.

 

Monday Night Football: Tampa Bay at New York

 

Kickoff: Monday, Nov. 2 at 8:15 p.m. ET

TV: ESPN

Spread: Buccaneers -10.5

 

Three Things to Watch

 

1. Intangibles

I think there's a chance focus could be an issue for Tampa Bay. This will be the Buccaneers' third road game over the last four weeks in a stretch that featured games against the Bears and Packers. Also, there is a massive look-ahead factor with a home game against the Saints coming up, a team they lost to back in Week 1. I'm not saying Tampa is going to lose, but it's something to consider. On the Giants' side, they have had extra time to prepare after playing last Thursday in Philadelphia. A team like this cannot afford to look-ahead to anybody so that shouldn't be an issue.

 

2. COVID Issues?

Giants offensive lineman Will Hernandez has tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the reserve list. Because of this, the team has quarantined all but four offensive linemen. Two coaches also were sent home because of "close contact." It'll be something to watch as the week goes on because I can't imagine the team's backups are any good considering the starters have been brutal. Rookie tackle Andrew Thomas, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, has had a rough introduction to NFL. He is among the league leaders in pressures allowed. Tampa Bay's defense is second in the league with 25 sacks and is no stranger to the situation New York is dealing with having faced the Raiders (at one point all but four O-linemen were on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and starting right tackle Trent Brown missed the game) last week.

 

3. Run game questions

Ronald Jones was enjoying being the top option in the Tampa Bay backfield, but last week he accounted for only 36 total yards. That presented Leonard Fournette with an opportunity to get more touches and he made the most of it. The former Jaguar finished with 97 total yards on 17 total touches (11 carries, 6 receptions). It'll be interesting to see how the carries are distributed on Monday night as the Buccaneers also have LeSean McCoy and Ke'Shawn Vaughn. The Giants' problem is that no one has stepped up to replace Saquon Barkley or even provided much of a spark. Devonta Freeman, Dion Lewis, and Wayne Gallman have all had their chances, but none have really grabbed hold of the job. Gallman stepped in last week when Freeman left with an ankle injury, and with Freeman no lock to play this week, he could get the bulk of the carries once again. The problem is the Buccaneers are No. 1 in the NFL against the run, giving up just 66 yards per game and only three per carry.

 

Final Analysis

 

The Buccaneers are going to win this game, but the question is by how much. The Giants' O-line story is something to watch as we get closer to kickoff because Daniel Jones will struggle if even one of the starters is out. He'll probably struggle anyway. Still, I think it's a somewhat sleepy Bucs effort as this game is a little closer than it should be.

 

Prediction: Buccaneers 27, Giants 17
