So, through 2 weeks, I have dug myself a hole. Even though I got Thursday Night Football correct (I picked the Browns) I am still 8-15 against the spread, while being 19-14 in the victory column. Hopefully, we can start to turn this a bit this week. Let's take a look at it.
Chiefs (-5.5) @ Colts: I can't trust the Colts anymore. They are in serious trouble. Could they put up some points? Maybe, but I like the hook in this case. Give me KC.
Points: Chiefs Victory: Chiefs
Bills (-5) @ Dolphins: Probably the game of the weekend here. Are Tua and the Dolphins ready for this moment? I think they are. And the Bills are going to have a letdown at some point. I'm not picking the upset, but I think I will give the points away. I think this will be close.
Points: Dolphins Victory: Bills
Eagles (-6.5) @ Commanders: I think the Eagles deserve more respect from me. Jalen Hurts is rounding into form. And despite Wentz wanting revenge, I think Hurts wants some revenge/respect as well. The hook helps me here. Give me the Eagles
Points: Eagles Victory: Eagles
Bengals (-6) @ Jets: Tempting because the Bengals OL is a great matchup for the Jets DL, but I can't believe that Cincy will start 0-3, and neither do bettors; as this line has gone up during the week. I think Jets play hard but Bengals pull away late.
Points: Bengals Victory: Bengals
Lions @ Vikings (-6): Another tempting game given the Lions powerful offense the first two games and the Vikings topsy turvy play. I think the Vikings pull it out, but I think it will be close, so I will take the points.
Points: Lions Victory: Vikings
Ravens (-3) @ Patriots: I think the Pats are getting the Ravens at the wrong time. They just blew a big game against Miami, in which Lamar played pretty well, and they will be angry. I also don't think the Pats have the weapons like Miami did to take advantage of the Ravens defense, so I will go with the Ravens
Points: Ravens Victory: Ravens
Raiders (-2) @ Titans: PICK'EM! Ugly game here. Two teams with talent but with head coaches who are questionable at best. I will go with the Raiders because the Titans will be without some key plyers including their LT and two edge rushers.
Victory: Raiders
Saints (-2.5) @ Panthers: PICK'EM #2! Comes down to coaching. Give me Dennis Allen over Matt Rhule easily. I think the Saints will win, not handily, but well.
Victory: Saints
Texans @ Bears (-3): I think the Bears are kind of in a nowhere place. I think they are okay in some places, but Fields and crew are meh. If the Texans had shown me more against Denver, maybe I would have gone with them, but I think the Bears win by at least a FG, so I will take the Bears.
Points: Bears Victory: Bears
Jaguars @ Chargers (-3): VERY SUSPICIOUS LINE. The Chargers are only a 3-point favorite at home against the Jaguars? I know Herbert's ribs are hurt, but all signs point to him giving it a go on Sunday at least right now. But even if he doesn't, what does that say about the rest of the team? The Jags need to show me more to fully trust them. I will go with the Chargers, somewhat reluctantly
Points: Chargers Victory: Chargers
Rams (-3.5) @ Cardinals: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!
This is not only about the Cardinals getting a big win last week against the Raiders; this is also about the Rams being unable to really slam the door on the Falcons. The Rams scare me. They might be going through a bit of a SB hangover. And I think the Cardinals at home, after that win, will prove up to the task.
Points: Cardinals Victory: Cardinals
Packers @ Buccaneers (-1): PICK'EM #3! I'm going with the Bucs based on their defense, which has only given up 1 TD all season. Rodgers and the rookie receivers will be tested, and I think they will lose.
Victory: Bucs
Falcons @ Seahawks (-1): PICK'EM #4! I wonder how much good that near comeback against the Rams did. Seattle disappointed me greatly. I think I will go against the grain here and pick Atlanta. Have a feeling.
Victory: Falcons
49ers (-1.5) @ Broncos: PICK'EM #5! While the QB matchup favors Denver, the coaching matchup favors San Francisco by a lot. That's why I'm going with them.
Victory: Niners
Cowboys @ Giants (-1): PICK'EM #6! This is going to be a low scoring game. Both offenses will be under siege. But I will go with my heart and pick the Giants, although it could really go either way.
Victory: Giants
