Game and Dog of the Week: Week 4 2014-2015

GAME OF THE WEEK

Philadelphia Eagles at San Francisco 49ers

This game will be quite interesting. The 49ers are a team many had high expectations for coming into the season, but they have been disappointing so far with a losing record of 1-2. The Eagles on the other hand are now 3-0. BUT, they had to comeback in each of their 3 games, even against bad teams. MosheFootball's prediction is the 49ers will get a great double digit lead in the first half. In the second half though, the Eagles are going to comeback to tie it up, but unfortunately for the Eagles, this time they will not be able to pull out the win.

DOG OF THE WEEK

Miami Dolphins at Oakland Raiders

Unlike last week, this week has much more games to actually choose from for a dog of the week. The Dolphins, and Raiders make the cut. This game will be close, but not because either team is good, but rather because both are just really bad. Derek Carr, the Raider's rookie has similar number to Ryan Tannehill, who is looking like he is on his way out of Miami. The passing game won't be too much of a difference as both team are 29th (Raiders) and 30th (Dolphins) in passing yards, and 4th (Raiders) and 7th (Dolphins) in opponent passing yards. The real advantage will be for the Dolphins in the running game who rank 7th in rushing yards against the Raider's 31st rush defense. Still however, this game seems like the Raider's time to cut that losing streak.
