NFL Picks Week 6
I went out to Boston for the Big Shows wedding so I didn’t really get a chance to sit down and write out my picks. As such, I managed to have the worst week I’ve swung thus far.
L/L - Vikings +5.5 at Bears: Bears cover.
W/W - Titans +2.5 at Bucs: Bucs cover. Jeff Garcia bandwagon… duh.
W/W - Dolphins +4.5 at Cleveland: Cleveland covers.
W/L - Rams +10 at Ravens: Rams +10. Looked at last week, recalled my rule about spreads of more than 3 with Baltimore… lost.
W/L - Texans +6.5 at Jaguars: Texans +6.5.
W/L - Redskins +3.5 at Packers: Packers cover. They did not. I hate half points.
W/W - Eagles -2.5 at Jets: Eagles cover. I had no idea what to do with this game, so I figured McNabb would want a revenge game after his last disaster in the Meadowlands.
W/W - Bengals -3.5 at Chiefs: Chiefs outright. The Bengals have no run defense and the Chiefs have LJ. Easy pick. This was my upset of the week. Picking the Chiefs every week has to work out eventually.
L/L - Panthers +4 at Cardinals: Cardinals cover. Didn’t know Vinny Testaverde was going to stand up from his easy chair, walk in off the street, and throw a good game.
W/L - Raiders +10 at Chargers: Raiders +10. The thought was that a resurging Daunte Culpepper could keep it within 10. Nope.
W/W - Patriots -4.5 at Cowboys: Patriots Cover. There was only one other game gift-wrapped to this degree. Had I been a gambler, this and the over were locks.
L/L - Saints +6.5 at Seahawks: Seahawks cover. The Saints have been struggling and it’s usually hard to play in Seattle.
W/W - Giants -3.5 at Atlanta: Giants cover. The second gift wrapped pick of this week. 3.5? This spread would have had to be 7 to make it hard. As a bonus, my tie break points was 34, with a 24-10 prediction.
Locks: Giants -3.5, Patriots -4.5, Patriots/Cowboys over 50.5
Upset: Chiefs +3.5 outright
This Week:
- Straight up: 10-3
- Against the spread: 6-7
Overall:
- Straight up: 55-34
- Against the spread: 44-40-5
Locks of the Week: 8-2
Upsets of the Week: 2-2
