Greg's NFL Picks: Week #6

 I had previously said that this could have been my worst week ever. Boy was I wrong. I went 6-5 against the spread and 11-4 in the victory column. Boy my memory was bad. Almost as bad as the quality of football that week. That brings my season total to:


Points: 27-28

Victories: 48-29


And now, courtesy of the DraftKings Sportsbook, Here are these weeks picks:


Lions @ Ravens (-3): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
Yes, it could be a trap. Yes, the Lions might be due. But I don't trust the Ravens one bit. They play around too much. And they get burned quite a bit. They can't do that against this Lions team. And because the Ravens are too prone to playing these games, I'm falling right in, 

Points: Lions    Victory: Lions


Bills (-8.5) @ Patriots: I think the Patriots will try and stand up defensively for this game. For some odd reason, I think it will be close. I'm going to split the difference and take the points. Maybe because the Bills are prone to these games.

Points: Patriots     Victory: Bills


Commanders (-3) @ Giants: Giants have had the Commies number of late and their defense played very well at Buffalo. However, their offense is less to be desired. Because of that. I'm again going to split the difference. I will pick the Commies to win but give me the points.

Points: Giants    Victory: Commies


Falcons @ Buccaneers (-2.5): PICK'EM! The one time I give the Falcons some allowance and they blow it miserably. NOT AGAIN. Tampa bounces back.

Victory: Bucs


Browns (-3.5) @ Colts: I love the Browns defense. It reminds me the Jets defense last year. Shut down but don't get a lot of turnovers. Minshew bombed against Jacksonville and it's going to be even tougher for him. I'll take the Browns with a TD victory.

Points: Browns    Victory: Browns


Raiders (-2.5) @ Bears: PICK'EM! Two young backup QBs going at it. I think the Raiders, having already started O'Connell, have the edge via experience in playing with him. Plus their defense is the best unit on the field. Give me the Raiders on the road.

Victory: Raiders


Cardinals @ Seahawks (-7.5): The hook scares me a little bit, but the Cardinals look to be slip sliding away. And they're playing in Seattle. I will take Seattle comfortably.

Points: Seahawks    Victory: Seahawks


Steelers @ Rams (-3): Love the Rams here. Steelers are 3-2. but they have a really negative point differential. They will have to score points to beat the Rams and I don't think they can efficiently do that.

Points: Rams    Victory: Rams


Chargers @ Chiefs (-5.5): I love this spread because its not too big and I know the Chiefs have some trouble with that. With this spread, I will happily and comfortably take the Chiefs.

Points: Chiefs    Victory: Chiefs


Packers (-1) @ Broncos: PICK'EM! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Oh um.....Broncos I guess

Victory: Broncos


Dolphins @ Eagles (-2.5): I love Miami for a couple reasons:
1. Ever since giving up 233 rushing yards to the Chargers, the Miami rush defense has been solid. Now part of that is the offense, but they should have some credit for that.
2. Eagles have not played a complete game all year. They have to show me that can do that.
Give me Miami.

Victory: Dolphins


49ers (-7) @ Vikings: It looks like a lot of the injuries the Niners sustained against the Browns were not season ending, which is a good thing. Vikings barely beat the Bears last week. I think the Niners win by 7 so I will go for the push. 

Points: Niners    Victory: Niners
