3. LJ Scott adds three straight 100-yard games

I was debating back and forth with this spot. It was either a prediction regarding the defense picking up 12 sacks this month or LJ Scott rushing for 100-plus yards each game.

The more bold option had to be Scott rushing for 100-plus each game, so it was only right I stuck with the idea. He had a rough start to the season with 84 yards on 23 carries, but he looked solid in the receiving game, catching three passes for 57 yards. A total of 141 yards of offense and people are ready to jump off the bandwagon. Crazy, right?

The offensive line needs to do a better job and it will in the coming games, opening holes like they did for Connor Heyward in the opener. Scott will have plenty of room to run, eclipsing 100 yards each game.

Heading into October with nearly 500 yards rushing with be a nice confidence-boost for a guy who desperately needs it after averaging just 3.7 yards per carry in the opener.

Scott will bounce back in a big way.
