A very meh week for me. Both of my upset picks failed, one in excruciating fashion. I went 3-5 against the spread and 9-4 in the victory column. That brings my record to:
Points: 42-42
Victories: 72-47
I'm going to keep it short and sweet this week because I'm kind of tired after working. So let's do it.
Colts (-2) @ Patriots: ZE PICK'EM! Pats may be in tank mode. Going for the Colts
Victory: Colts
Niners (-3) @ Jaguars: Key is that Deebo Samuel is tracking to play and he makes their offense go. I think the Niners bounce back with Deebo back in the fold.
Points: Niners Victory: Niners
Browns @ Ravens (-6.5): I think the Ravens win, but I think the point spread is too high for two powerful defenses.
Points: Browns Victory: Ravens
Texans @ Bengals (-6): Lou Anarumo, the Bengals DC, is going to have some treats ready for CJ Stroud and the Bengals will continue to rise in the AFC.
Points: Bengals Victory: Bengals
Saints (-3) @ Vikings: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Justin Jefferson may be back for this game after missing several weeks with a hammy. But even then, how can I go against Josh Dobbs and what he's done. Plus, the Saints still bother me and they're on the road. Give me Minnesota.
Points: Vikings Victory: Vikings
Packers @ Steelers (-3): In the words of Steelers fan and YouTuber UrinatingTree : STILLERS GAHNTA SUPA BAWL! Give me the Steelers
Points: Steelers Victory: Steelers
Titans @ Buccaneers (-1): PICK'EM! Tampa's defense got shredded last week by CJ Stroud, so why would I think that Will Levis couldn't do the same. Give me Tennessee on the road.
Victory: Titans
Lions (-3) @ Chargers: Chargers didn't impress me Monday Night. That game should have been over by halftime. Lions will take them out.
Points: Lions Victory: Lions
Falcons (-2) @ Cardinals: PICK'EM! The return of Kyler Murray should spark the Cardinals' offense a bit and the Falcons black magic will continue to run out.
Victory: Cardinals
Giants @ Cowboys (-17): This has to be the biggest point spread I have covered in my 3-4 years doing this. But I'm going to give them away. I think. after a heartbreaking loss to Philly, Dallas will be looking to flex their muscles and take their frustrations out on the Giants. Barely, but I think Dallas covers.
Points: Cowboys Victory: Cowboys
Commanders @ Seahawks (-6): Just like the Cowboys, I think Seattle wants to take some rage out after being humiliated by the Ravens. And Sam Howell, despite being a solid passer, is still getting sacked at a big rate. I will take Seattle to win by a TD.
Points: Seahawks Victory: Seahawks
Jets (-1) @ Raiders: This pick is simply based on the fact that nobody expects the Jets to win. And that is usually when the Jets win. That, and the fact that despite all that has happened this week, the Jets are still favored on the road. I'll take the Jets in a close one.
Victory: Jets
Broncos @ Bills (-7): I think the Bills win, but I don't trust them to keep separate from Denver enough to cover. Denver showed some defensive prowess last week against KC, and the Bills defense is still suspect. I'll split the difference.
Points: Broncos Victory: Bills
