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.
