Well gang, we are off to a good start going 10-6 in the @andyslater pick ‘em challenge and going 3-2 in the big money pick 5 challenge. The ‘pick against the rookie quarterbacks’ theory worked to perfection as we went 3-0 in those games. The downside of last week’s games was that we lost the last two night games and fell from 7th to 49th in the standings. Obviously, we have more information on the teams this weeks, but I believe the match ups are tougher. I only have 6 dogs which is rare for me. Let’s see what we can do.
VIKINGS +7.5 @ Eagles Cousins in prime time is a disaster but the Eagles have injuries.
BILLS -9.5 vs. Raiders Contrarian pick based on overreaction from week 1.
TITANS +3.5 vs. Chargers Not sold on the Chargers new offense. Titans keep it close.
BEARS +3.5 @ Tampa Bay In ugly games against two bad teams, I usually take the points.
CHIEFS -3.5 @ Jags Kelce playing. Another overreaction pick from week 1.
COLTS -1.5 @ Texans Match up of 2 rookie QBs. I’m siding with the one I think is better.
LIONS -5.5 vs. Seahawks Not a fan of this pick as the public will likely side with the Lions as well.
BENGALS -3.5 vs. Ravens. I Am hoping Joe Cool knocked off the rust last week.
FALCONS +1.5 vs. Packers I’m not sold on the Falcons QB situation, but Packers have a lot of injuries.
49ERS -8.5 @ Rams is Simply a coaching matchup in which Shanahan rules McVay.
CARDS +5.5 vs. Giants. I’m sure the G-Men bounce back, but I’m hoping the Cards can hang around.
COWBOYS -8.5 vs. Jets. What worries me about this one? It’s a no-brainer. Those usually are trouble.
BRONCOS -3.5 vs. Commanders Going back to the well in the Payton-Wilson experiment.
DOLPHINS -2.5 @ Patriots Scary game for the Fins coming off an emotional win. Pats lose 2 in a row at home? Rare, but I am hoping Sanders’ kick is good at the buzzer. 24-21 Fins.
SAINTS -3.5 @ Panthers. I’ll keep picking against the rookie QBs until one of them wins.
STEELERS +2.5 vs. Browns Similar to the Broncos, I’m going back to the well with last week’s loser.
