You will notice I am doing these picks a little later than I usually do them. Well, there were no Thursday or Saturday games this week, so I was able to wait a little bit and see what injuries could come about. Last week, I fell victim to some of those injuries and last second decisions, as well as a few surprises. I went only 4-7 in the points category and 10-6 in the victories column. That brings my season total to:
Points: 85-103
Victories: 149-87
So without further fuss, let's do it:
Buccaneers (-13.5) @ Jets: Motivation is tough to gauge, but I think Todd Bowles wants to stick it to the Jets. Close because of the health situation, but I will take the Bucs to cover.
Points: Bucs Victory: Bucs
Chiefs (-4.5) @ Bengals: Love this line. I just don't know if the Bengals defense is up to the challenge of slowing down Mahomes. I will take the Chiefs
Points: Chiefs Victory: Chiefs
Rams (-5.5) @ Ravens: Lamar Jackson is questionable, but I don't know even if he plays if he will be enough. But for some reason, I think the Ravens keep this close, like they did with Green Bay. I will take the points here.
Points: Ravens Victory: Rams
Falcons @ Bills (-14): Give me the Bills. Nothing else to say here
Points: Bills Victory: Bills
Jaguars @ Patriots (-16): High number but given the Jags run defense against the Jets last week, imagine what the Pats can do to them. Give me the Pats
Points: Pats Victory: Pats
Eagles (-4.5) @ WFT: Give me the Eagles, Washington has to be demotivated by last week's Dallas massacre. And as long as the Eagles aren't playing the Giants, they will be fine
Points: Eagles Victory: Eagles
Raiders @ Colts (-8.5): I have to play this one cautiously because Carson Wentz is scheduled to come back off of COVID and play. It looks like he's good to go, but I think the game is going to be close so I will split.
Points: Raiders Victory: Colts
Dolphins @ Titans (-3.5): I know the Dolphins are on a roll, but they haven't really played a murderers row of a schedule. I will take the Titans to derail the Dolphins comeback
Points: Titans Victory: Titans
Giants @ Bears (-6.5): Probably one of the only teams I would take the Bears with these odds against. The Giants are bad.
Points: Bears Victory: Bears
Texans @ 49ers (-12): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!
Jimmy G is doubtful for this game and Davis Mills has impressed in recent weeks at QB. Can Trey Lance do enough to score the Niners a win? I don't believe so. I think the Texans come in and shock the Niners
Points: Texans Victory: Texans
Broncos @ Chargers (-7.5): Don't think the Cbargers will be caught on the off foot again, but that hook scares me. I will take the Broncos with the hook.
Points: Broncos Victory: Chargers
Cardinals @ Cowboys (-6): This is a show me game for the Cards. They have to prove to me they can come back against a game opponent in Dallas. So I will put the onus on Arizona and take Dallas.
Points: Cowboys Victory: Cowboys
Lions @ Seahawks (-8.5): Think the Seahawks win, but that spread's too big for the clawing Lions. Give me the points
Points: Lions Victory: Seahawks
Panthers @ Saints (-6.5): Saints defense will set the template in this one. I will take the Saints.
Points: Saints Victory: Saints
Vikings @ Packers (-13): No Kirk Cousins means trouble for the Vikings. Packers will roll.
Points: Packers Victory: Packers.
