a chance at Defensive Rookie of the YearThe Buffalo Bills selected one of the
biggest steals in this past 2019 NFL Draft in Ed Oliver. Oliver not only has the
potential to be an important piece in the Bills¡¯ defensive scheme, but also the
potential to be the NFL¡¯s Defensive Rookie of the Year (ROTY).Oliver tallied
13.5 sacks and 192 total tackles in his three years at Houston. Winning awards
is nothing new for the defensive tackle, having won the Outland Trophy in 2017
for being the best interior lineman (offensive or defensive) in college
football. Oliver will have strong competition for Defensive ROTY, including New
York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. The Alabama product won the Outland
Trophy in 2018.Williams and Oliver are two of many defensive rookies in a
talented pool of players. Of this year¡¯s top-ten picks, seven play defensive
positions. Many are pass rushers with the ability to rack up sacks this upcoming
season.Like those drafted before
him
Corey
Bojorquez Jersey , Oliver has the ability to have an immediate impact.
With long-time Buffalo Bill Kyle Williams retired, Star Lotulelei remains the
lone starting defensive tackle from last season. Oliver could end up on the
defensive line beside him should the Bills coaching staff prefer Lotulelei to
start over second-year player Harrison Phillips.Historically, the Defensive ROTY
award has favored linebackers; from 2003-2012, only one winner of the honor did
not play that position (defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh in 2010). Since then, the
award has gone to every other defensive position except safety.The last
defensive tackle to win Defensive ROTY was Aaron Donald in 2014. Donald recorded
nine sacks and 18 tackles for loss that season. Should Oliver put up similar
numbers
Womens
Adolphus Washington Jersey , his chances of winning the award should
increase dramatically. Last Week: 6-7Weeks 1 through 7: 48-51-4Home teams shown
in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Philadelphia (-3) vs.
Jacksonville (London)Before the season started, the NFL was probably licking
their chops at this London matchup. Now, it¡¯s looked at as a matchup of two
underperforming teams. The Jaguars have more issues, though.. especially on
offense.<em>Pick: Philadelphia (-3)</em>Baltimore (-2.5) vs.
Carolina Justin Tucker missing that extra point to tie last Sunday was
craaaaaaaaazy. He was 222 for 222 on XP¡¯s prior to that miss. That¡¯s football, I
guess.<em>Pick: Baltimore (-2.5)</em>Pittsburgh (-8) vs.
ClevelandEven though they¡¯re
2-4-1
Youth Harrison
Phillips Jerseys , the Browns are 5-2 ATS this season. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s
crazy to think they keep it close here, especially if their defense keeps
forcing turnovers.<em>Pick: Cleveland (+8)</em>Kansas City (-10) vs.
DenverKC is rolling, and the Broncos have had to deal with the drama of Chad
Kelly all week long. Mahomes & crew win going away.<em>Pick: Kansas
City (-10)</em>Chicago (-7.5) vs. New York JetsAlthough some of the better
QBs in the league have found success against the Bears defense, Darnold is a QB
that that D can prey on.<em>Pick: Chicago (-7.5)</em>Detroit (-3)
vs. SeattleKerryon Johnson is going to be good for a long time, and Matt
Stafford has bounced back from a slow start to his season.Remember when people
were writing off the Lions & Matt Patricia after week one?<em>Pick:
Detroit (-3)</em>Cincinnati (-3.5) vs. Tampa BayThe young Bengals might
not be as good as their hot start
indicated
Harrison
Phillips Jerseys Stitched , but they¡¯re not as bad as they played last
week. They¡¯ll come out with a chip on their shoulder in this one.<em>Pick:
Cincinnati (-3.5)</em>Washington (-1) vs. New York Giants The Giants are
bound to win one of these soon,
right? <em>Right</em>?<em>Pick: New York Giants
(+1)</em>Indianapolis (-3) vs. OaklandBet you didn¡¯t know that Andrew Luck
has thrown 15 touchdown passes in his last four games. Those whispers that he
might not be what he once was coming off injury are getting quieter and
quieter.<em>Pick: Indianapolis (-3)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-9) vs.
Green BayThe Rams are frighteningly good, but the Packers are coming off a bye
and getting healthier. In front of plenty of cheesheads in LA, they keep it
close.<em>Pick: Green Bay (+9)</em>San Francisco (-1) vs.
Arizona Yuck.<em>Pick: Arizona (+1)</em>Minnesota (-1) vs. New
OrleansHow many times will the Minnesota Miracle be shown on the Sunday Night
broadcast? Probably a lot. This game should be excellent.<em>Pick:
Minnesota (-1)</em>New England (-14) vs. BuffaloFor some reason, I really
considered taking Bills +14 here¡. nah.<em>Pick: New England
(-14)</em>
