Week 6 Picks

Already 0-1 this week. Good start, getting through the rest of this week's picks real quick as there are beers that aren’t going to drink themselves.

BROWNS (+1) over Bengals
Picking Cleveland goes against just about everything I stand for, yet here we are.

JETS (-3.5) over Colts
I’m not going to try to make any sense of Indianapolis. They beat the Packers and Vikings, but lost to the Jaguars? The Jets seem destined for .500, so I’ll take them to win this game.

BUCCANEERS (-4) over Chiefs
Despite both of these teams being horrible, they both seem to be good at one thing. Tampa Bay has the top ranked rushing defense and Kansas City has the second ranked rushing offense. The deciding factor here is that the Chiefs will be playing Brady Quinn at quarterback (if Matt Cassel was healthy the deciding factor would have been that the Chiefs were playing Matt Cassel at quarterback).

FALCONS (-9) over Raiders
After this week Atlanta will likely be 6-0, but keep in mind that’s 6-0 having played four games against the AFC West. It’s kind of like going undefeated arm wrestling the guy from “My Left Foot”.

RAVENS (-3.5) over Cowboys
Lock of the Week
I love to hate the Cowboys, but they are just plain boring this season.

Lions (+4) over EAGLES
If Detroit is going to make a move it has to be now.

DOLPHINS (-3.5) over Rams
Turns out Miami isn’t as terrible as it seemed like they would be.

Patriots (-3.5) over SEAHAWKS
As previously mentioned, forget about that 1-2 Patriots record, they are still annoyingly good.

CARDINALS (-4.5) over Bills
The fact that Buffalo doesn’t have the statistically worst defense in the league really says a lot about how terrible the Tennessee Titans are, because wow, Buffalo’s defense is TERRIBLE. The Cardinals showed last week that they are by no means great, but they are still good enough at home to beat a worthless Bills team by a touchdown.

Vikings (+2.5) over REDSKINS
The Redskins can’t seem to beat the Vikings even when they are bad, so now that they are all of the sudden good I don’t see how they can win this game.

Giants (+6.5) over 49ERS
New York’s offense is just too good for me to pick anyone to beat them by more than four points.

TEXANS (-3.5) over Packers
Seriously, what the F happened to Green Bay? They don’t have a different roster but they are suddenly much worse on offense. But fair warning to myself, the Texans haven’t really played anyone so who really knows if they are any good.

CHARGERS (-1.5) over Broncos
Wasn’t Denver’s defense really good last year? Wasn’t that how Tim Tebow won all those games and became Tim Tebow – NFL Unexplained Phenomenon of 2011? What happened to that defense?
