| Home team shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Green Bay (-13.5) vs. ArizonaThe Packers might be a long shot to make the playoffs https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Montravius-Adams-Jersey , but they are still really good at home.<em>Pick: Green Bay (-13.5)</em>Atlanta (-2.5) vs. BaltimoreLike the Packers, the Falcons are a lot better at home. Lamar Jackson vs. Matt Ryan has potential to be a lot of fun, but I think the vet takes it over the rook.<em>Pick: Atlanta (-2.5)</em>Miami (-3.5) vs. BuffaloJosh Allen played well last week against a scuffling Jaguars team, but can he put it together for two games in a row? I have my doubts. I’ll take Miami.<em>Pick: Miami (-3.5)</em>Carolina (-3) vs. Tampa BayDivisional games are normally tight, but the Panthers <em>need</em> this win. They can’t afford to lose their fourth in a row, and I don’t think they will.<em>Pick: Carolina (-3)</em>Chicago (-3.5) vs. New York Giants It’s Chase Daniel again this week for the Bears. If he plays well again, which team is going to give him a multi-year deal this offseason? Some GM out there just might.<em>Pick: Chicago (-3.5)</em>Houston (-5.5) vs. ClevelandFresh off the Hue Jackson revenge game, the Browns (especially Baker Mayfield) have had plenty to say this week. They’ll want to back it up with another solid performance, so this one stays close. Plus Jake Ryan Jersey , the Texans are due for a clunker.<em>Pick: Cleveland (+5.5)</em>Denver (-5) vs. Cincinnati Jeff Driskel will get a start in place of Andy Dalton for the Bengals this week, and if he plays well things might start to get a little interesting in Cincinnati. However, the Broncos are quietly playing some good ball. I’ll take them.<em>Pick: Denver (-5)</em>Indianapolis (-4) vs. Jacksonville The Jaguars are a mess.<em>Pick: Indianapolis (-4)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-10) vs. DetroitThe Rams are coming off a bye after that thrilling Monday Night Football victory a few weeks back. The Lions are also coming off a mini-bye of sorts after losing to Chase Daniel on Thanksgiving. Give me the Rams.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Rams (-10)</em>Kansas City (-14) vs. Oakland The Raiders are a mess.<em>Pick: Kansas City (-14)</em>Tennessee (-9.5) vs. New York JetsI know the Jets aren’t good by any means, but 9.5 is a lot here. I think this game gets mucked up and ends up closer than people think.<em>Pick: New York Jets (+9.5)</em>New England (-5) vs. MinnesotaA matchup of two teams that haven’t really been as good as we thought they would be this year. Prediction: Kirk Cousins and Tom Brady both put up some big numbers.<em>Pick: New England (-5)</em>Seattle (-10) vs. San FranciscoThe Seahawks just keep on winning games. It may stop sometime, but not against the 49ers.<em>Pick: Seattle (-10)</em>Pittsburgh (-3) vs. Los Angeles ChargersThe Bolts are still looking for that signature win. There’s no better time to get it than in Pittsburgh on Sunday Night Football.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (+3)</em>Philadelphia (-6) vs. WashingtonIf the Eagles can’t get on track at home against a Colt McCoy-led Redskins team, they aren’t going to get back on track.<em>Pick: Philadelphia (-6)</em> Over two weeks, Acme Packing Company will break down the Green Bay Packers’ 2018 roster position-by-position, providing our grades for each spot and looking ahead to free agency. Today, we continue with the tight ends.When the Green Bay Packers signed two veteran tight ends last offseason Lance Kendricks Color Rush Jersey , visions of productive “12” personnel sets danced in the minds of many fans. While many could not expect the same level of chemistry between Aaron Rodgers and his new weapons as the franchise quarterback had with previously released Jordy Nelson, there was a sense that those connections would eventually form.As seen in the roster grades earlier this morning, that simply did not happen. The Packers’ tight end group was especially abysmal in 2018 as their additions fell well short of expectations. This unit is one that should feature plenty of new arrivals once again before next season, but here is a rundown of Green Bay’s newcomers last season.Jimmy GrahamHow acquired: Signed March 16 as unrestricted free agent; 3-year, $30 million contract with $11 million guaranteed signing bonusRegular Season Stats: 16 games, 12 starts; 55 receptions for 636 yards (11.6-yard average), 2 touchdownsAPC’s Peter Bukowski put it best earlier this week when he said “cutting Jordy Nelson was the right call for the Packers; the error was overpaying for Jimmy Graham.” Green Bay tried to rejuvenate its passing game by adding a player they thought would create mismatches with his athleticism and re-kindle his Pro Bowl self in a green and gold uniform. Unfortunately for the Packers, Graham struggled to separate from defenders, displayed a remarkable decline in athleticism and quickness https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Davon-House-Jersey , and dropped a lot of catchable balls. Once a major red zone weapon, Graham found the end zone just two times in 2018 and was rarely a threat up the seam as this author had hoped. Signed solely for his skills as a receiver, Graham left something to be desired in all phases of his game despite satisfactory numbers on paper.Reports leaked Tuesday that Graham is expected to remain in Green Bay next season, largely because of the money he is still owed. It would not be surprising to see the Packers part ways after the 2019 season when the dead cap money would be much lower and they can develop a suitable replacement for the position. Perhaps the new coaching staff can restore a resemblance of the receiving threat Graham once was, but optimism will be far lower heading into next season.Marcedes LewisHow acquired: Signed May 24 as unrestricted free agent; 1-year, $2.1 million contract with $500,000 signing bonusRegular Season Stats: 16 games, 4 games started; 3 receptions for 39 yards (13.0 yard average), 0 touchdownsThe late signing of Lewis was seen as a potentially shrewd business deal. A fairly durable veteran with a fair level of red zone success in his career Bryan Bulaga Jersey , Lewis was lauded for his in-line blocking. His signing in particular provided some belief that the Packers could discover dangerous two-tight end sets much like many of their playoff-contending counterparts.While Lewis lived up to his billing as a blocker, his promise as a receiver was overblown. Whether it was his fault or the coaching staff’s, Lewis was targeted just four times over the course of 16 games. In fact, his usage was so minimal that when he was targeted it caught the defense by surprise, such as his 30-yard catch-and-run on third down against Miami.Although his former offensive coordinator in Jacksonville now has the same title in Green Bay, Lewis figures to be leaving town in 2019 as a free agent. A surprisingly forgotten man, the addition of Lewis should have offered the Packers so much more. |
