I had a so-so week last week, going 6-7 against the spread. I got hooked a couple of times. I did well in the victory column; going 10-6 including last night. So that brings my season total to:
Points: 29-28
Victory: 48-42
So, onto Week #6 and a lot of close games. Lot of pick'em's this week. But there will be room for maneuvering.
Jets @ Packers (-7.5): This scares me because beyond Aaron Rodgers, I think the Jets matchup decently against Green Bay. And the hook is in there. I think the Packers win, but I think the Jets (who have owned the 4th quarter this year) will score enough to get within 7 and thusly under the hook.
Points: Jets Victory: Packers
Ravens (-5.5) @ Giants: I feel the same way about this game. The Giants are kind of due to lose a close one. So, I will take the points but pick the Ravens to win.
Points: Giants Victory: Ravens
49ers (-5.5) @ Falcons: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Niners are coming east to play early, and they are really banged up, especially along their defensive line. The Falcons have shown life this year and have not really been a doormat. Give me the Falcons to take advantage of that.
Points: Falcons Victory: Falcons
Buccaneers (-8) @ Steelers: Steelers now welcome in one of the top defenses in the NFL to play Kenny Pickett. Good luck. Give me the Bucs easy.
Points: Bucs Victory: Bucs
Vikings (-3.5) @ Dolphins: Little secret, Miami's defense is not that good. Cook, Theilen and Jefferson should take advantage of that. I know the Vikings are tough to trust. I will trust them here.
Points: Vikings Victory: Vikings
Bengals (-2.5) @ Saints: PICK'EM! Not comfy with it, but I will take the Bengals
Victory: Bengals
Patriots @ Browns (-2.5): PICK'EM #2! I don't trust the Browns. I know they're at home, but I can't do it.
Victory: Patriots
Jaguars @ Colts (-2): PICK'EM #3! Looks like Johnathan Taylor will be back and once again, I don't know how the young Jags will react to a rogue crowd in division. Give me the Colts.
Victory: Colts
Panthers @ Rams (-10): Rams need a bludgeoning badly. I think they get it here.
Points: Rams Victory: Rams
Cardinals (-2) @ Seahawks: PICK'EM #4! Seahawks are banged up. I'll take the Cards on the road.
Victory: Cardinals
Bills (-2.5) @ Chiefs: PICK'EM #5! I just think the Bills are the more complete team, but they are banged up still. Hesitatingly, I will take the Bills.
Victory: Bills
Cowboys @ Eagles (-6.5): I think this is a low scoring-esque game. While the Cowboys defense vs. Jalen Hurts is the main attraction, I believe the Eagles defense will prove to be the deciding factor in some fashion. I will take the Cowboys with the points, but the Eagles will go to 6-0
Points: Cowboys Victory: Eagles
Broncos @ Chargers (-4.5): The Broncos are a mess. Give me the Chargers.
Points: Chargers Victory: Chargers
