Greg's 2022 NFL Picks: Week #5

 Unfortunately, I have to take the loss last night (Damn you Broncos), but again overall I had a very good week (8-3 on the spread and 11-4 in the victory column) That brings me to 23-21 against the spread and 38-36 on the season. Let's get at it again.


Giants @ Packers (-7.5): I'm really tempted to take the Giants with the points, And I'm going to do it. Why? Packers run defense was abysmal against New England and Saquon should feast. Packers win, but I have the hook.

Points: Giants   Victory: Packers


Steelers @ Bills (-14): It's a high spread, but Kenny Pickett on the road in his first start? Steelers defense not that great? I will hesitantly take Buffalo

Points: Bills   Victory: Bills


Falcons @ Buccaneers (-10): No Kyle Pitt for Atlanta and Brady needs to beat somebody up for alimony (hehe)

Points: Buccaneers     Victory: Buccaneers


Dolphins (-3.5) @ Jets:  "Show me" game. All I have to say. Until then...

Points: Dolphins      Victory: Dolphins


Titans (-2) @ Commanders: PICK'EM! Titans have more talent

Victory: Titans


Bears @ Vikings (-7.5): Scares me a bit, but I think the Vikings will win and cover despite the hook.

Points: Vikings     Victory: Vikings


Texans @ Jaguars (-7): Kind of like the Jets except I think they will win because of their talent differential. But I can see them struggling to pull away a bit.

Points: Texans    Victory: Jaguars


Chargers (-2) @ Browns: PICK'EM #2! Chargers run defense has given up the second most yard/carry in the NFL. Nick Chubb should feast. I'm going against the spread and take the Browns

Victory: Browns


Lions @ Patriots (-3): Just like last week, trust Belichick's defense. Only this time, Detroit's defense should give up points.

Points: Patriots    Victory: Patriots


Seahawks @ Saints (-5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!!
Geno Smith and the Hawks' offense has really been humming of late. Dalton starting again for the Saints does not bode well for the Saints scoring a ton. I will take the Seahawks on the road to beat New Orleans.

Points: Seahawks    Victory: Seahawks


49ers (-6.5) @ Panthers: Give me San Fran with the hook on my side.

Points: Niners    Victory: Niners


Eagles (-5) @ Cardinals: Eagles will have a letdown at some point, but I don't think it's here.

Points: Eagles    Victory: Eagles


Cowboys @ Rams (-5.5):   Almost was my upset pick of the week but I don't know what Cooper Rush will do against an elite opponent. Their defense should keep the game close though. Will split the difference.

Points: Cowboys     Victory: Rams


Bengals @ Ravens (-3.5): Usually Jekyll and Hyde Ravens bounce back after bad loss so I will take the Ravens

Points: Ravens    Victory: Ravens


Raiders @ Chiefs (-7):  Don't trust McDaniels. Take the Chiefs

Points: Chiefs    Victory: Chiefs
