Greg's NFL Picks: Week #9

 Mixed bag for me last week. 3-6 against the spread, but 10-4 in the victory column. That brings my season totals to:

Points: 41-33

Victories: 68-40

With the WS starting, my focus will be there so I will keep it quick.

Ravens (-8) @ Browns

Points: Ravens (reluctantly)   Victory: Ravens

Titans @ Lions (-11.5): Too big a number in a possible let down game.

Points: Titans    Victory: Lions

Packers (-4) @ Jaguars

Points: Packers    Victory: Packers

Colts @ Texans (-5):

Points: Texans    Victory: Texans

Jets (-7) @ Patriots:  This is a possible upset, but I just don't think the Pats are good enough to beat the Jets, even as compromised as they are. Will split the difference

Points: Pats      Victory: Jets

Eagles @ Bengals (-3):

Points: Bengals    Victory: Bengals

Falcons @ Buccaneers (-2): PICK'EM!

Victory: Falcons (tossup)

Cardinals @ Dolphins (-4.5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!

Tua's back but I don't know how much into it he will be and the Cardinals can play. Dolphins have to be on their guard. I don't think they will. 

Points: Cardinals    Victory: Cardinals

Bills (-3) @ Seahawks:

Points: Bills     Victory: Bills

Saints @ Chargers (-7):

Points: Chargers (on the money)    Victory: Chargers

Chiefs (-9.5) @ Raiders:

Points: Chiefs (reluctantly)    Victory: Chiefs

Panthers @ Broncos (-11):

Points: Panthers (a little too high for my taste)    Victory: Broncos

Bears (-3) @ Commanders: I will go with the information that Daniels will not play this week.

Points: Bears    Victory: Bears

Cowboys @ 49ers (-4): Tough call. I will split the difference only because I don't know how healthy the Niners will be.

Points: Cowboys    Victory: Niners

Giants @ Steelers (-6):  Daniel Jones is in trouble.

Points: Steelers      Victory: Steelers   

Greg's NFL Picks: Week #8

        Gonna keep this brief this week because the Yankees made me depressed last night and I think they are in trouble despite being up 2-1. Anyway, had a good week. I went 7-4 against the spread and a massive 12-2 in the victory column. That brings my season total to:

Points: 38-27

Victories: 58-36

So here we go with this week's picks.

Patriots @ Jaguars (-6): 

Points: Jags (reluctantly)   Victory: Jaguars

Eagles (-3.5) @ Giants: Giants are banged up but Philly hasn't really shown much. Will split.

'

Victory: Chiefs

Jets (-1.5) @ Steelers: As long as Wilson doesn't take away from the Steelers running the football, the Steelers should romp.

Victory: Steelers

Ravens (-3.5) @ Buccaneers: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!

A classic Ravens letdown spot. And I will play on it, especially with a good Bucs team.

Points: Buccaneers    Victory: Buccaneers

Chargers (-2) @ Cardinals: PICK'EM!

Victory: Chargers

Greg's NFL Picks: Week #7

           Middling week for me this week. I went 5-4 in points and 8-6 in victories. TBH I'm more into the baseball right now (Yankees and Mets are in the LCS's). So these picks may be a bit quick but that's where my attention span is right now. Also, I am still trying to see if I can do my 4 Pop Princesses of the Apocalypse article. I've written an intro, so now I have to get to the ladies themselves. Anyway, here is my record so far:        

Points: 31-23

Victories: 46-34

And here are my picks:

Jaguars (-1) @ Bears: YE OLDE PICK'EM!

Victory: Bears

Browns @ Eagles (-9.5): High number but the Browns are a mess.

Points: Eagles    Victory: Eagles

Commanders @ Ravens (-7): Gonna split because the Ravens' defense has not been good.

Points: Commies   Victory: Ravens

Texans (-6.5) @ Patriots

Points: Texans    Victory: Texans

Cardinals @ Packers (-5.5): Tough but I will go with the Packers

Points: Packers   Victory: Packers

Buccaneers (-3.5) @ Saints: No Carr for the Saints

Points: Bucs     Victory: Bucs

Colts @ Titans (-3): Too many injury questions for the Colts

Points: Titans   Victory: Titans

Steelers (-3) @ Raiders

Points: Steelers    Victory: Steelers

Chargers (-3) @ Broncos: Questionable spread. I'm going to split

Points: Broncos     Victory: Chargers

Falcons (-6) @ Panthers: 

Points: Falcons   Victory: Falcons

Lions (-3) @ Cowboys

Points: Lions   Victory: Lions

Bengals (-3.5) @ Giants: UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No reason for me to believe in the Bengals. Their victory over Carolina was meh and the Giants looking like they are gelling together. Daniel Jones breaks his primetime slump.

Points: Giants    Victory: Giants

Bills (-2.5) @ Jets: PICK'EM! Going to go with the Bills because of their stability but honestly, this game could go either way. Allen doesn't play well at MetLife and the Jets' actions during the week may provide a spark.

Victory: Bills

 

   

                                                                                                                                                                            

Greg's NFL Picks: Week 6

 A meh week for me last week (including guessing the Thursday Night game wrong). I went 6-4 against the spread and 9-8 in the victory column. That brings my season totals to:

Points: 26-19

Victories: 37-28

TBH, this week looks a little dire in terms of picks, but I'm going to give it a go.

Jets @ Vikings (-2.5): YE OLDE PICK'EM! Spread is a little suspicious given where the teams are, but at the end of the day, I like Minnesota's momentum

Victory: Vikings

Browns @ Commanders (-3.5): UPSET PICK OF THE Weeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, this one is more about what's out there than anything else. I had one in mind, but it just got blown up (more on that later). Commies are hot but the Browns defense could make Daniels' life difficult. If Cleveland can't score on Washington's defense, then they are screwed. I'll go with Cleveland, reluctantly.

Points: Browns    Victory: Browns

Ravens (-2.5) @ Bengals: PICK'EM!

Victory: Ravens

Bills @ Texans (-1): PICK'EM!

Victory: Bills

Panthers @ Bears (-4):

Points: Bears   Victory: Bears

Colts @ Jaguars (-3): This was my upset pick of the week until finding out that Johnathan Taylor, the Colts great running back will not play. That makes them too one dimensional for me. Thus, I will only have to split the difference.

Points: Colts    Victory: Jaguars

Dolphins (-1) @ Patriots: PICK'EM! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Victory: Patriots

Cardinals @ 49ers (-7): 

Points Niners (probably a push)   Victory: Niners

Raiders @ Broncos (-3):

Points: Broncos    Victory: Broncos

Giants @ Seahawks (-7): No Nabers...few points.

Points: Seahawks    Victory: Seahawks

Packers (-3) @ Rams: 

Points: Packers    Victory: Packers

Cowboys @ Steelers (-2.5): PICK'EM!

Victory: Steelers

Saints @ Chiefs (-5.5):

Points: Chiefs      Victory: Chiefs
