Useless predictions: 2022 Week 8 picks

   Are... are they finally done? Are Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers declining? Is the shift of power complete? A new era can finally commence, let the new in and the old be remembered for what they once were, Russell Wilson & Matt Ryan you can go too. What's that? what about Ryan Tannehill and Andy Dalton? I don't know why they are still starting. On to next week.

Last week: 2-11 (15%)

Season overall: 20-81 (20%)

Pittsburg (+11) at Philadelphia     (U42.5)

   I'm not saying the Steelers are going to win, but for some reason they keep themselves in games and they are very healthy right now, the Eagles have slipped up at the beginning of some games when they should be dominating so Im going to give the Steelers the benefit of the doubt and believe they will cover.

Miami (-3.5) at Detroit    (O52)

   Really seems that the Lions offensively rely very much on Amon-Ra St. Brown, they get him back for this game so it could end up being a shootout but still the Dolphins might be too much for them to handle.

Chicago (+10) at Dallas     (42.5)

   The Bears upset against the Patriots was no fluke so giving them 10 points against the Cowboys really makes me think Vegas doesn't believe they can do something similar once more, I'm not saying the Bears are going to win but they might make this a very interesting game depending on Bears OL and Cowboys front sevens health.

Las Vegas (-1) at New Orleans    (O41)

   The Saints have been a very competitive team while the Raiders have struggled mightily, the resurgence of Josh Jacobs to his old Alabama days have given life to the Raiders offense and it might end up being too much for a banged up Saints team that if they get left behind early I don't thing Andy Dalton can come back from it.

Carolina (+4) at Atlanta    (O41)

   Huh, strange, why do I still believe the Panthers can win a game? the Falcons without their best corner so that should give the Panthers an edge and they still have more talent than this team, so logic is telling me to believe, but the Panthers go against all logic, so confusing.

Arizona at Minnesota (-4)    (U48.5)

   The Vikings only have to not lose sight of DeAndre Hopkins and they should be fine, yeah Kyler Murray can still try and win by himself like usual but even he cant help his defense play better.

New England at NY Jets (+3)   (U40)

   I don't get it, why are the Patriots favorited after the massacre they received against a team that has half the talent the Jets have? Does Vegas think that poorly about Zach Wilson?

Tennessee (-1) at Houston    (O39)

   The Titans should still win this one just because they weren't really winning because of Tannehill so him not playing should be that bad.

NY Giants at Seattle (-3)    (O44.5)

   This should be a good game against surprising good coached teams, seems like the Giants are still banged up so the Seahawks at home could take advantage of this with Kenneth Walker going crazy recently.

San Francisco at LA Rams (PK)    (U42)

   Two struggling teams going at it for second place, who would have guessed? The 49ers are somewhat depleted with injuries while the Rams aren't, so lets pick the Rams.

Washington (+3) at Indianapolis     (O40)

   This one can get messy, the Colts have a very poor Oline against a very strong front seven from the Commanders but offensively they are coming a bit unarmed while the Colts will try a new field general to try and get things straighten out, give me the points.

Green Bay at Buffalo (-10.5)    (U47)

   This really cant be the game the Packers turn things around, they can try and keep up but winning should be out of the question.

Cincinnati (-3) at Cleveland    (U45)

   The Bengals not having Jamar Chase is something to monitor, how bad does Joe Burrow need him to be good?

W5@MIN & W6vsWSH: *Yoga breathing*

       From here on out the Bears are the underdogs if they weren't before this point, they almost got the best of the first place NFC North Vikings and then inexplicably let a win go against the Commanders, the Bears are a bad team and it pains me to accept it even if it makes sense being that they are on rebuilding mode, still in gruesome to see Justin Fields play behind such a porous Oline.

   The offense is once again suffering from lack of talent in the trenches, Sam Mustipher is at negative snaps he should be playing, his time was up three games ago. Lucas Patrick is quickly turning in to the second most hated lineman on the starting team by playing worse than Mustipher on the LG position, its so bad that I don't even feel comfortable on moving him to C anymore, but if it helps to sit Mustipher I can live with it. Larry Borom and Braxton Jones are going trough some major growing pains, there is some consideration for Jones who is a rookie but Borom has taken steps back from his previous year where he showed some promise, I wouldn't bench him yet but I am pondering who should take his place if this continues. Teven Jenkins, the guy who was rumored to leave the team by trade, is the best lineman the Bears have right now, talk about close calls. Fields is showing big plays followed by broken plays and/or taking to much time making decisions, progress is not going to be linear until this Oline gets better results. When Fields manages to make a play he is getting let down by his wideouts, sadly the small growths Fields has shown are minimized by the lack of talent their receivers are showing on the field, the need for a big bodied possession receiver is showing in my opinion and looks like Equanimeous St. Brown isn't Fields choice, maybe returning N'Keal Harry can be a better option. Speed isn't a problem at wideout, its getting the ball to them what is lacking, Velus Jones might not be the return man that the Bears envisioned, at least not yet, but when he has gotten the ball he has been productive, time to expand his role on the offense a bit more. Khalil Herbert might be the hot hand recently with some big gains but David Montgomery should still be considered the lead back, I'm cool with then splitting carries but for now Monty is still the more dependent one.

   On defense the secondary is improving by the week especially Kindle Vildor and Kyler Gordon, Vildor is benefiting by the type of defense this coaching has installed and Gordon is on trial by fire and is coming from the other side of this with more experience and better understanding of his role. The problem on this defense is the front seven, the Dline struggles with the run, they are missing a clogger on the middle to dominate or just help the LBs get more clean shots at the ball carrier, but they are also lacking big time in pressuring the QB, Al-Quadin Muhammad and Robert Quinn are not getting it done, Quinn is waiting for the QB to step back but the DTs are not bringing enough pressure upnfront to make the QB drop back more, making Quinn just get ushered by the tackle behind the pocket while the QB just steps forward to make time, Muhammad isn't fast enough period, its time to give the younger players more time in Trevis Gipson and Dominique Robinson and see what they can do or cant do, at the middle its not that easy, there is just isn't a dominant enforcer on the team like when they had Akiem Hicks.

   Next up against the Patriots is not going to be an easy game, the Patriots have shown to be a very solid team on both sides of the ball and know the game plan to a T, they are a very prepared and we'll coached team and it shows, even when Mac Jones went down with injury the team didnt even flinch with Bailey Zappe at the helm, they got the best ranked duo of rookie CBs and their front seven play the run exceptionally well. The Bears will finally mix things up with the Oline with Patrick at C and Schofield at LG, its better than nothing, they might have been waiting for their mini bye to make the change and get everyone ready with the extra time, but even so they took to long. Having the defense maintain a close game and having a cleaner pocket for Fields more often is the only things that this Bears team need to do to be able to evaluate their young QB which is priority number one, playoffs is a far second right now. Rumors of Ryan Poles being interested on trading for a receiver, although it makes sense due to the present recurrence of teams signing their best wideouts to big contracts is getting applied more at this time, getting one of Jerry Jeudy or Chase Claypool would be beneficial but the Bears cant be giving too much when the team still have various holes to fill and still need to evaluate all their Oline players (Alex Leatherwood, Kellen Diesch, Zach Thomas and Dieter Eiselen) to see if they need to go deep in FA and/or the draft as priority one, because if the Bengals have shown anything is that you can have the best WR but if you cant protect your QB, you might make it far, but you aren't winning the big game, Poles needs to be smart and go all in next year, if he is going to get some help it has to be someone to maintain Fields in his feet.

Useless predictions: 2022 Week 7 picks

   How in frozen hell can the secondary-less Steelers win against the playoff bound Bucs? The Browns suck because they believe they have a QB and the Patriots are good because they believe they have a QB, both can be true. Dammit Jaguars your suppose to be good now what the hell and Giants you are being too good what the hell. On to next week.

Last week: 3-10 (23%)

Season overall: 18-70 (20%)

NY Giants (+3) at Jacksonville     (O43.5)

   Ok this is stupid, one team has pulled wins out of their ass with less talent that the opponent that has the tools and skill to make real magic but instead turns out they are just a clown show fooling us all. The Jaguars should win this one at home with their crazy weather but they just toy with their opponent and end up the prey, the Giants have two WR down and it really doesn't matter they still keep winning so why should this one be any different.

Indianapolis (+2.5) at Tennessee     (U41.5)

   The Titans are coming out of their bye while the Colts are returning from an impressive Matt Ryan air game which everyone was waiting for, the Titans have enough secondary to match the Colts, this might be a ground pounding match and might end in the hands of the veteran QBs, I'm going with the Colts because they have the hot hand, if it can reaches 3 points even better.

Atlanta at Cincinnati (-6.5)    (O47.5)

   If the Falcons showed any real threat of a running attack I would chose they to win flat out but they haven't, they still have played a good air attack but the Bengals have a pretty good secondary and offensively they get Tee Higgins back, still could be close but gotta go with the better team.

Cleveland at Baltimore (-6.5)    (U46)

   Ok Browns you are prohibited to be remotely good anymore, you don't deserve it, Ravens hit an invisible wall last week but they get back some much needed help offensively.

Tampa Bay (-13) at Carolina    (U39)

   What happened Bucs? I don't know you anymore, can you handle a team with no offensive purpose this week? I mean you have everything needed and you couldn't stop a rookie QB or Mitchell Trubisky? Scored 18 points against a team with no secondary? It had to be a fluke right? it cant happen twice in a row right? RIGHT?

Green Bay (-4.5) at Washington    (U41.5)

   I had a hunch that the Packers were going to get owned by a good defense but their defense only played half a game, here's the thing, the Commanders can get to Aaron Rodgers but can they take advantage of that? They really shouldn't have enough man power to beat the Packers, they might get close but its a stretch.

Detroit (+6.5) at Dallas     (O49)

   Well the Cowboys had a good run without Dak Prescott but now he is back and they should be a better team with him, the Lions get back a healthy Amon-Ra St. Brown which should result in a sort of shootout, I think its going to be another one of those Lions games where they almost had it but fall short at the end, lets hope its not by a TD.

NY Jets (-1.5) at Denver    (U37)

   If the Broncos do better without Russell Wilson its going to be hilarious.

Houston (+7) at Las Vegas     (U46)

   I'm not entirely sure why, but I'm going with the Texans, the Raiders haven't shown enough to be favorited by a TD and the Texans are bad but their not get blown out of the water bad.

Kansas City at San Francisco (+1)   (U49)

   Jimmy Garoppolo can live the rest of his NFL life dunking short passes to Christian McCaffrey and still win games, I don't know why the Chiefs are going to lose but they just do enough to lose against strong competition for some reason, like their an average team or something.

Seattle (+5) at LA Chargers    (U50.5)

   The Seahawks might have a chance if Kenneth Walker has a good game against a surprising weak Charges run defense, Justin Herbert is a hell of a QB but even him need targets to throw to and they are very limited due to injuries, the Chargers also haven't won against a good team yet so I might want to wait a bit more until they bully some teams.

Pittsburgh at Miami (-7)    (U44.5)

   The Dolphins are too talented to be losing like they have been lately, the Steelers are coming out of a mind blowing win against the Bucs but I don't think they can pull those type of shenanigan's again.

Chicago at New England (-8)    (U40)

   It pains me to say that the Bears are a bad team but it is what it is when in rebuild mode, the Patriots are a very solid team that didn't miss a beat when their starting QB when down, now Mac Jones comes back to make things harder for the Bears who cant get the offense rolling.

Useless predictions: 2022 Week 6 picks

   I knew the lines were getting harder but damn I got embarrassed. A lot of team I just don't know who they are anymore, Ill just go directly to next week.

Last week: 1-14 (6%)

Season overall: 15-60 (20%)

Jacksonville (+1.5) at Indianapolis     (U41)

   The Jaguars are who I thought they were, a sheep dress as a wolf with a knife, its still a sheep but it has a knife so you cant take him lightly, not with that crazy stare. What? I don't know who is going to win, both teams are a freaking rollercoasters, Indianapolis air attack along with Jonathan Taylor in the backfield should destroy defenses, but Taylor is hurt and for some reason I cant comprehend the OLine cant protect the remaining's of Matt Ryan, the Jaguars have the better all around team but they didn't follow the assembly instructions and were left with some nuts and bolts and the base is rocky and crooked and shit,  Ill just take the points.

New England at Cleveland (-2.5)    (U43)

   The dark magics of Bill Belichick are still too strong, he has spawned another minion QB with the powers of BS just like the others before him, with a steady running game and strong defense he doesn't need him to do much, they will go up against a Browns team that oozes talent but don't get results because they still think Jacoby Brissett can QB, they just need to run the ball and everything will be fine.

Baltimore (-5.5) at NY Giants    (U45.5)

   Nothing but respect for this Giants team and their competent coaching staff that knows who they have at QB and most importantly who they got at RB whit their defense keeping them in games, still they might be getting too cute, the Ravens aren't a team you can fool so easily, this game may end being a reality check for the Giants.

Minnesota (-3) at Miami    (O45.5)

   I cant trust you Vikings, you are just a big tease of a team, the Dolphins playing at home with Tua Tagovailoa should be enough to beat them but will have to go with a rookie or half a Teddy Bridgewater which is not ideal, I just cant right now.

Tampa Bay (-9.5) at Pittsburgh    (O46)

   Holy crap, the Steelers have no secondary to go along with their offense, this is going to be brutal.

Cincinnati (-2.5) vs New Orleans    (O43)

   I under estimate the Saints too much, they aren't a playoff team but they put a hell of a fight, the Bengals are all hands on deck and cant let this one slip up.

NY Jets (+7.5) at Green Bay     (O45)

   The Packers should be a dominant team and they are most definitely not playing like it, the Jets entered this season as a loaded team with some questions in direction, the Packers could still be a sleeping giant, the Jets have enough power to win this game.

San Francisco at Atlanta (+4.5)   (O45)

   My apologies to the Falcons, they are most definitely not the worst team in the NFL, that title belongs to the Panthers up to this point, they might not be good but their capacity to bounce back from adversity is inspiring. The 49ers are banged up at defense, this could end up being a shoot out.

Carolina at LA Rams (-10)    (U41.5)

   Common Rams, this is your chance to get back on track, you forgot how to be the bully, you might still struggle against a very decent Panthers defense but they are a headless team, you just need to take it easy one step at a time and crush them.

Arizona at Seattle (+2.5)   (O50.5)

   I knew the Seahawks weren't as bad has foretold but Geno Smith being a decent QB wasn't what I expected, he might still show his bad habits here and there but Kyler Murray has his own, this might be the sloppiest best game ever.

Buffalo (-2.5) at Kansas City    (O54)

   Battle of the best young guns, its anyone's guess who will come on top, but for some reason Vegas knows something fishy is going on with this Chiefs team and it has shown, again they go with the opponent, so I will as well.

Dallas at Philadelphia (-6.5)    (O42)

   Honestly I envy the Cowboys not because their a complete team but because they are not and still have managed to win, they have used their limited talent and found a way to be in games even with their backup QB, that some major coaching, lets see if it lasts. The Eagles on the other hand are a team to envy as a whole, they should cover unless the Cowboys keep on surprising.

Denver at LA Chargers (-4.5)    (U45.5)

   Are you going to show up this time Broncos? Are you still allergic to scoring TDs? Has anybody seen Russell Wilsons cook book? This is what I get for picking them to win the super bowl this year, what a freaking waste. Give them hell Chargers.

Useless predictions: 2022 Week 5 picks

   Back on track, still really bad at O/U. Let downs of the week were Bears who cant score and Lions who cant defend. Panthers and Broncos are good teams that just cant figure it out with their veteran QBs. Watch out for the Jaguars and Jets, they are looking to make the jump. On to next week.

Last week: 4-11 (26%)

Season overall: 14-46 (23%)

NY Giants at Green Bay (-9)    (U42)

   The Packers should cover this line but for some reason they aren't blowing the scoreboard this year, the Giants are very hurt on offense except for Saquon Barkley but if the Packers can score early the Giants wont be able to catch up.

Seattle (+5) at New Orleans     (O45)

   Geno Smith is playing good football and that's good news for the Seahawks WRs that are very talented, the Saints are a very similar team but with less impact with their veteran QB, so I will take the points.

Pittsburgh at Bills (-14)    (O45)

   The Steelers will go in this game with their rookie QB, the Bills are hurt but should have enough to give Kenny Pickett a good NFL welcome.

LA Chargers (-1) at Cleveland     (U47)

   The Chargers are banged up and struggle to defend the run which is the Browns bread and butter, still I don't trust Jacoby Brissett as much as I do the Chargers defense to focus on Chubb.

Detroit (+3) at New England     (O45.5)

   I honestly don't feel confident on going with the Lions with a banged up offense but who are known to be close on every game, their defense has been horrible and don't feel confident they can stop even a rookie in his first game, still when in doubt of close games go with points.

Houston at Jacksonville (-7)    (O43.5)

   The Texans aren't going to win many games this season, the Jaguars are a team in the rise and can keep it with a win against a struggling team.

Atlanta at Tampa Bay (-10)    (U46.5)

   If the Falcons can cover this game color me impressed, the Bucs are a playoff team and the Falcons aren't, the Bucs should be able to cover even with some guys down.

Chicago at Minnesota (-7.5)    (U44)

   The Vikings have all the weapons to take on this line, but its the Vikings, everything is on the table.

Tennessee (PK) at Washington    (U43)

   The Redskins have weapons to put points on the board against a Titans team that cant control a complete game, still the Redskins Oline is porous and the Titans can benefit from it if Mike Vrable cranks the blitzing a knotch.

Miami (+3.5) at NY Jets    (O45)

   I don't think the Dolphins are going to win easy, the Jets have as much talent than the Dolphins have, its only a matter of if the Jets can get it together.

San Francisco at Carolina (+6.5)   (U39.5)

   Only thing that is making me pick the Panthers is that their defense can benefit from the 49ers not having Trent Williams, its a matter of whether Baker Mayfield can lead his offense with the 49ers Dline missing two starters.

Dallas (+5.5) at LA Rams     (O42)

   I hate the Cowboys not having QB issues, defensively they aren't all that but their front seven are playing like their hair is on fire and the Rams are struggling against these type of teams.

Philadelphia (-5) at Arizona    (U49)

   I believe Kyler Murray will struggle more than Jalen Hurts with their respective Oline injuries.

Cincinnati (+3.5) at Baltimore    (O47.5)

   The Ravens will go without their starting LT, G and WR, I mean Lamar Jackson is good but this good?

Las Vegas at Kansas City (-7)    (U51.5)

   The Chiefs have everything to take care of this line, I don't get why Vegas is so down with them.

W4@NY Giants: Time to mix it up

    The Bears let the win slip away against a Giants team that was getting depleted in front of our eyes and still wasn't enough of an advantage to get back in the game. The score displayed the same old Bears that cant get going on offense and the defense does just enough to give them a chance, the game shows a bit of a difference, this time although the QB didn't have a good game, he wasn't responsible for the debacle.

   The offense went as far as the Oline took them and it almost resulted in Justin Fields getting injured as he was hurried, hit and sacked a plenty in this game, Fields still showed struggles to get rid of the ball when getting pressured but as I said before, if the Oline doesn't improve I can not expect better play from Fields, he is panicking and seeing ghosts and I cant blame him, he is getting defenders in his face almost as fast as the snapped ball hits his hands, the interior pressure does not help these young Tackles to create a pocket as they are shifting the defenders to the back of the pocket but if Fields takes to many steps back or tries to escape from the back he is gonna get sacked by the edge rushers which has happened too often. Fields small flashes of improvement in reading and reacting made his receivers show their flaws, as talented as they are none of them can help Fields as a possession receiver or at least they haven't shown that ability or trust with Fields. Sam Mustipher needs to get benched ASAP, this regime cant make the same mistake the previous one did of having no contingency plan of trying to make the Oline better, they got lucky playing Larry Borom and Teven Jenkins due to injuries that made them have no choice but to play them, now with the loss of arguably the best Olinemen the Bears had in the field in Cody Whitehair this forces the Bears to play Jenkins full time now, I was expecting this to happen in this game pushing Lucas Patrick to C but this had to happen and its not the way it should have been, they still have the chance of trying to improve the line by sitting Mustipher and playing Ja'Tyre Carter or Michael Schofield at LG or even Alex Leatherwood eventually, heck they can even play Patrick at LG who honestly didn't look good or any of the others and place Dieter Eiselen at C which wouldn't make any sense because Patrick was the guy who should have played C since the preseason so why wait more time!

Upside players: Jenkins keeps showing in limited reps that he should be playing, he isn't perfect but when he is on he just destroys Dlinemen. In all this mess, Whitehair was silently playing good football but so has Braxton Jones just not as good as Whitehair still its something to look forward to in a rookie LT.

Downside players: Not even the bad play of Patrick at LG can cover for how bad Mustipher has looked, he is not the force an Oline needs at the pivot position. 

   The defense can take credit of being good in crunch time, they haven't allowed a TD in the second half of games this season, if they keep this up they only have one half to worry about to be a good defense even when struggling with the run. The Giants outsmarted the Bears with their RPOs and rollouts resulting in a very productive day for Saquon Barkley, when rushed from the inside the Bears Dline suffers on combo blocks and the LBs just missed to many tackles, looked like the Giants didn't want nothing to do with Roquan Smith and ran the other way where it was to much for Nicholas Morrow and Joe Thomas to handle all game, Smith still shows that if he gets blocked he is taken away from the play, Smith needs to attack the lane but for that to happen the front four need to absorb the blockers, they can usually take one on ones but not double teams and this game showed that. One cant expect the QB rush to work if the offense isn't scared to run the ball through your defense, the Bears placed more bodies at the line with safety help and it backfired with outside runs, they need better play form their DTs or get thumpers at the LB position, which require change and the coaches might not be ready to make them yet as they may be sacrificing coverage for run stuffing.

Upside players: Eddie Jackson has looked amazing showing his signature cover skills while showing improvement as a tackler which is a pleasant surprise. 

Downside players: Kyler Gordon is suffering as a rookie, got beat twice deep but Jackson bailed him from one of them, corner is not an easy position, lets hope he learns from all of this. It might not be fair to place Robert Quinn but his absence is hurting.

   Next against the Viking there isn't much hope of victory or there shouldn't be against a well rounded team that still finds ways to lose games mysteriously. Kurt Cousins is good enough to get the job done with three capable WRs and with Dalvin Cook in the back field. The Bears will need to stop the run to have a chance to even try and keep Cousins and Justin Jefferson in check. I would try giving Mike Pennel more playing time than Angelo Blackson next to Armon Watts who is a tweener that wins with power while Justin Jones is more of a penetrator and better used for pass plays, its time to let Al-Quadin Muhammad rest more on the bench who is struggling at both run and pass while letting Trevis Gipson and Dominique Robinson get more snaps at DE who might struggle on run plays but look better at putting pressure on the QB, not having Jaylon Johnson is going to hurt even if Jaylon Jones and Kindle Vildor are doing a decent job but neither have played against someone like Jefferson. Offensively it just needs to be obvious that Mustipher is not it and accept it, a new inside group needs to be built where it includes Jenkins full time, the passing game might still struggle but at least gives the run a chance to continue where it left off, giving Fields opportunities to hurt defenses can only help open more lanes for the RBs hoping that David Montgomery can return and help his QB be even better protected.

Useless predictions: 2022 Week 4 picks

 Well damn, O/U destroyed me last week not to mention the upset galore that was week 3, The Chiefs couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot against the Colts, the Chargers are cursed continuing to lose players to injury by game and the Jaguars just annihilated them, the Raiders cant win even if their lives depend on it, the Lions Lioned once more and I was an idiot believing Joe Flacco could QB. On to next week.

Last week: 2-13 (13%)

Season overall: 10-35 (22%)

Minnesota (-3.5) at New Orleans    (U42)

   The Vikings are an up and down team but against a very injured Saints team they should win this one.

NY Jets (+3.5) at Pittsburgh     (U41.5)

   The Jets are getting back Zach Wilson, I don't know if this is a significant difference yet, the Jets have the more talented team but didn't show it last week, no team has the upper hand, I will go with the points.

Buffalo  at Baltimore (+3)   (O51)

   Both teams have significant injured players, the uncertainty at LT for the Ravens is troublesome even if Lamar Jackson is playing possesses, Ill take the points, its probably going to be a hard fought game.

LA Chargers (-6) at Houston    (U45)

   The Chargers continue losing players to injury but still looks a team with enough talent to take on the Texans.

Tennessee (+3.5) at Indianapolis     (U43)

   Ill probably regret this later, the Colts are probably getting back Shaquille Leonard so their defense is getting a boost, the Titans haven't played lights out as of yet so there isn't a clear dominating team here, so I will take the points.

Chicago (+3) at NY Giants     (U39.5)

   Weather is probably making this game more of a run game that people already expect, give me the Bears defense to play better than the Giants offense.

Jacksonville at Philadelphia (-6.5)    (O45.5)

   The Jaguars played a hell of a game but the Eagles are not hurting with big injuries.

Seattle at Detroit (-3.5)    (U48)

   Man this should have been the Lions bounce back game but they are playing without three big time offensive weapons, can they figure it out without them? The Seahawks are bad, are they this bad though?

Washington at Dallas (-3)    (O41.5)

   The Cowboys demolished the Giants with loads of pressure to their QB, they can repeat this again against an average Commanders OL.

Cleveland  at Atlanta (+1)   (U47.5)

   The Falcons have managed to flash on offense but I cant see them beating the Browns defense although the status of Myles Garrett and Jadeveon Clowney is iffy, well I get I can see why its only a one point line, you know what? I'm taking the Falcons, call it a hunch.

Arizona at Carolina (-1)    (U43.5)

   The Cardinals are down to three WRs? the Panther should roll... defensively.

Denver at Las Vegas (-2.5)    (U45.5)

   OK the Raiders have to win this one, the Broncos are down two starting OL and when they did they didn't score a lot.

New England at Green Bay (-9.5)    (U40)

   The Packers are going to win, will they cover? Interesting that its not a given, they really haven't scored that much but in Lambeau against a Brian Hoyer? 

Kansas City (+1) at Tampa Bay    (U46)

The Bucs are hurt at WR and are favorites against a healthy Chiefs team? What does Vegas know about the Chiefs I don't?

LA Rams at San Francisco (-1.5)    (U42.5)

   This is a though one, this whole week is though, the Rams without their LT and the 49ers without their center and two starting corners, can Jimmy G take advantage of this? He should.
