Useless predictions: 2021 Week 6 picks

 

   Lesson learned, 

- OVER is way more probable than UNDER.

- you can't trust the Jets more than once a month.

- Texans, Panthers, Saints and the Football team are teams I don't understand, who are you and what's with the mood swings?

- The Lions and Vikings are cursed, ties are not an option.

   Bengals I hate you for not taking advantage and let the Packers get away with it. The Broncos and Raiders got exposed and were shown to be average teams on the flip side the Chargers and Cardinals are creating momentum. On to next week.

W5 record: 2-13

Overall: 17-59 (22%)

Miami at Jacksonville (+3)   U47

   Is it a sin for the NFL to TRY and program an international match between teams that have high possibilities to be good? No team has a clear advantage, the Jaguars have a promising rookie struggling to put his team on his shoulders and the Dolphins are getting back Tua which is a better option than Brissett but it doesn't drastically tip the scale in their favor, Xavier Howard not playing is the only reason I will side with the Jags and their favored points.

Minnesota (-2.5) at Carolina    O46

   The VIkings have played hard on every game they have played but keep struggling to win even against iffy competition, the same is happening to the Panthers lately with declining play from the defenece and Sam Darnold, with McCaffrey on IR I will side with the Vikings.

LA Chargers (+2.5) at Baltimore    O52

   Two hot teams with even hotter QBs that have played their hearts out and keep getting better, I was impressed on the way the Ravens came from behind to beat the Colts but was it because Indianapolis played it safe and paid the price? Did they give Jackson too much space? I will pick the Chargers offense to get it done but it would surprise me to see Jackson do it again this week.

Cincinnati (-3.5) at Detroit    U47.5

   How will the Lions react to their coach opening up with the media last week? Will it create the spark they are missing to achieve their first win? I'm not keeping my hopes up, gonna go with the more steady and balanced team.

LA Rams (-8) at NY Giants    O48.5

   The Giants are down their star RB and Golladay, expecting too much of Daniel Jones who got rocked last week, give me the Rams controlling this game start to finish.

Kansas City (-7) at Washington    O55

   I trust the Chifes beating an average team as the Football Team, more so when they have their backs against the wall.

Houston (+10) at Indianapolis     O43.5

   The Colts are going to play without their kicker, the Texans are getting to many points. if they get some plays bounce their way like last week, they might just cover.

Green Bay at Chicago (+6)   O44.5

   The Packers are far from a perfect team with significant loses to their secondary, the Bears are gaining confidence, can Fields be the first rookie to hang an L on Rodgers? It's posible, so I will at least take the points.

Arizona (+3.5) at Cleveland     U49.5

   This will be a good game and it's hard to tell if it will be a shootout or a defensive struggle, the Browns will be down their star RB but they have Kareem Hunt to take the lead, the Cardinal are down their starting C which is not ideal and will probably rely on Murrays ability to scramble more than necessary. It all will come down to the play of Baker Mayfield who has played ok behind a heavy run attack, how will he fair this time around with limited run power?

Dallas (-3) at New England    U50.5

   Dak all day, he will be too much for Belichick.

Las Vegas (+4) at Denver     O44.5

   This is a though one, both are very inconsistent teams who are capable of playing good defense although very different styles, the Raiders I fell have a more potent offense than the Broncos but if Carr gets flustered by constant pressure he is bound to make some mistakes, so I guess I will go with the points and hope for the best.

Seattle at Pittsburgh (-5)    U42.5

   The Seahawks should be a very different team without Wilson in a bad way, gimme the old man to win this one.

Buffalo (-5.5) at Tennessee    O54

   Can Henry wear down the defense to give his team a chance? When the Bills are full throttle I don't think anyone can stop them.
