Even with the improvements that I’m expecting from Jordan Love as the season progresses, I have every reason to believe that this will get ugly against the Chiefs in Week 13.
Given what we’ve established about the defense just not being well coached under Barry, Patrick Mahomes is going to obviously cook. But this will also be a learning game for Love as Steve Spagnuolo throws an abundance of funky looks at the young quarterback, forcing him into a bevy of mistakes. The end result is now a blowout loss.

While Brian Daboll has proven that he’s a good coach, I do think that his success in year one with the Giants has a lot of people overestimating New York in the 2023 season. This team still has major deficiencies on both sides of the ball that I don’t think are all shored up after this offseason.
This is going to be a big game for Jordan Love and Aaron Jones as I expect both to attack the middle of the field well. While Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley can somewhat combat that, I don’t have enough faith in the Giants QB to think he can make the plays to win this game.

Outside of the Cardinals, there’s probably not a worse team in the league entering the 2023 season than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They struggled overall last year when they had Tom Brady, and now they’ve downgraded to likely Baker Mayfield under center. Put simply, that’s not going to go well. With defensive losses as well, even in the worst-case scenario, Love should cruise to the win in pretty emphatic fashion.
