It's Friday, which means it's time to make some Bold Weekend Predictions! Brandon and I brainstormed our boldest takes of this loaded weekend of NFL and college football.
Here is a little sneak peak...
Tyler's Predictions:
1) Joshua Dobbs rushes for at least 75 yards against the Saints.
Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs has finished with at least 6 rushing attempts over the last seven games - many of which went for 10+ yards. The Saints possess a strong rushing defense, but have hit a bit of a bump in the road against quarterbacks as of late. Rookie Tyson Bagent went north of the 70-yard mark on the ground two weeks ago when the Saints hosted the Bears two last week, and Trevor Lawrence ran for nearly 60. Dobbs is still getting acclimated with Minnesota's offense after being traded at the deadline from the Arizona Cardinals, meaning he may not be completely in-tune with his new receivers. When in danger, Dobbs doesn't shy away from trying to pick up some yards with his feet.
2) DeAndre Hopkins has at least 25 fantasy points.
D-Hop has been rather underwhelming during his tenure with the Titans this season. It wasn't until rookie QB Will Levis took over two weeks ago that Hopkins found the end zone, but boy did he. Hopkins finished with three touchdowns in Levis' debut, and has been his desired number one option. Levis has a passer rating of 132.3 when targeting Hopkins over the past two games. With the Titans playing a lackluster Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary, it's likely Levis will be looking for the former all-pro receiver all day.
3) Davante Adams finds the end zone against the Jets.
There has been plenty of drama to be had for the 4-5 Las Vegas Raiders this season. After firing head coach Josh McDaniels on Oct. 31, the Raiders put on a dominant 30-6 performance over the New York Giants. Rookie Aiden O'Connell took over the reign under center, passing for over 200 yards for the second time this season. The former Boilermaker is going to rely on his best receiver in Adams to get by an elite Jets defense.
