Greg's NFL Picks: Week 5

 I had a bad week last week. A lot of chaos happened (besides my upset pick which I got totally wrong) so I suffered, particularly in the victory department. I went 5-5 against the spread, but I went 6-10 in the victory column. Oh well. That brings my season total to:

Points: 20-15

Victories: 28-20

Need to do better this week, so let's give it a go:

Cowboys (-5) @ Giants: I'm not bold enough to try the upset pick on Thursday twice, but the Giants come into this game with momentum. I will split the difference in this game. Plus its an NFC East game so throw conventional wisdom out.

Points: Giants   Victory: Cowboys

Broncos @ Jets (-7.5): If the Broncos had come in having won a close game or lost to Tampa, this would be a typical trap game setup. Instead, the Broncos dominated Tampa, so they should have the Jets' attention. However, the hook scared me a bit. So I am also going to split the difference.

Points: Broncos    Victory: Jets

Vikings @ Packers (-3): Going with Brian Flores' defense.

Points: Vikings    Victory: Vikings

Steelers (-1.5) @ Colts: PICK'EM!

Victory: Steelers

Eagles (-1.5) @ Buccaneers: PICK'EM!

Victory: Eagles

Bengals (-4.5) @ Panthers: Bengals have to win a game at some point, right?

Points: Bengals   Victory: Bengals

Jaguars @ Texans (-6.5): 

Points: Texans    Victory: Texans

Rams @ Bears (-3): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!

Bears are a mess offensively. Rams showed guts and determination beating the Niners last week and McVay is a much better coach than Eberflus. Give me the Rams on the road.

Points: Rams    Victory: Rams

Saints @ Falcons (-2.5): PICK'EM!

Victory: Falcons

Patriots @ 49ers (-10.5): I think it's a little too high, especially since the Niners are banged up.

Points: Pats    Victory: Niners

Commanders @ Cardinals (-3.5): Shootout. Pure and simple. I'll split the difference because I don't really have an angle.

Points: Commies     Victory: Cardinals

Chiefs (-7) @ Chargers: Money line is right on the dot for me.

Points: Chiefs    Victory: Chiefs

Browns @ Raiders (-2): PICK'EM!

Victory: Raiders

Bills @ Ravens (-2.5): PICK'EM! Don't trust the Ravens at all.

Victory: Bills

Titans @ Dolphins (-1): PICK'EM!  

Victory: Dolphins

Seahawks @ Lions (-3.5): 

Points: Lions    Victory: Lions
