NFL Picks Week 5

Had a very good week last week. Went 9-5 against the spread. And I am off to a good start. I took the Pats with the points and they covered. So I am 1-0 in both categories to begin the week. So if you are comfortable, let us begin

Titans (-3) @ Bills: The Titans are a team that one can't really figure. They will have info on Josh Allen but they aren't the type of team that blows people out. If the spread was a little higher, I would take the Bills, but I got burned by them last week.

Points: Titans
Victory: Titans

Dolphins @ Bengals (-6): After getting knocked back to reality by the Patriots, the Dolphins need to regroup. The problem is that the Bengals seem to have a penchant for close late wins. Because of that, I will split the difference

Points: Dolphins
Victory: Bengals

Ravens (-3) @ Browns: Mayfield will have a tougher time facing Terrell Suggs and a well schooled Baltimore defense. Flacco has looked the best he has in years.

Points: Ravens
Victory: Ravens

Packers (-1.5) @ Lions: This is essentially a pick'em, so no point spread pick. I still dont trust the Jekyll and Hyde Lions

Victory: Packers

Jaguars @ Chiefs (-1): Another Pick'em! Top offense in the league vs top defense. The key in this game will be TJ Yeldon running the football and keeping the ball away from Mahomes. And seeing KCs run defense against Denver on MNF, why would I trust them?

Victory: Jaguars

Broncos @ Jets (-1): YET ANOTHER PICK'EM! This seems like a SOJ win. giving false belief that Todd Bowles is a good coach and he should stick around. Because of that and all the other factors with Denver, gimme the green

Victory: Jets

Falcons @ Steelers (-3): I know the Pittsburgh offense has not done well but an injured Falcon defense seems to be the ticket to help that. Home team easy

Points: Steelers
Victory: Steelers

Giants @ Panthers (-7): The season is on the brink for the Giants, but this spread seems a bit too high. This will go like seemingly every Giants game has gone the past 2 years. Defense will keep them in it, but offense will fail to score.

Points: Giants
Victory: Panthers

Raiders @ Chargers (-5.5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
The Chargers are coming off a game where they barely beat a rudderless Niners team. The Raiders are coming off a spirited comeback to get Chucky his first win. Plus the Raiders are at home. Or at least it will feel like it given the lack of home support given to the Jets of LA.

Points: Raiders
Victory: Raiders

Vikings @ Eagles (-3): This Eagles defense may be one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this year. They have not looked good at all. Vikings are desperate. They will win

Points: Vikings
Victory: Vikings

Cardinals @ Niners (-4): If the Cardinals were playing this at home, this would have been my upset pick of the week. Instead they have to go to San Fran to play a game Niners team. Sorry Cardinals.

Points: Niners
Victory: Niners

Rams (-7) @ Seahawks: Rams are the best team in the NFL by a lot. Seattle has no OL. Yet Seattle at home scares me a bit. I think its going to be closer than the experts think.

Points: Seahawks
Victory: Rams

Cowboys @ Texans (-3.5): First game for the Houston Texans ever as a franchise, they beat Dallas on MNF. I like the Texans in this matchup because of the mobility of Watson and the pass rush of Houston.

Points: Texans
Victory: Texans

Redskins@ Saints (-6.5): Think the Saints will win. but that Redskins pass rush will make scoring difficult. Expect a tight game

Points: Redskins
Victory: Saints

Have fun
