Once a week I get to watch the Giants lose a winnable game. I get the same spot o’ fun with my Jets too. And Cardinals. Not the Bills though. They win the games they shouldn’t and make me smile. Go Bills. In the meanwhile, there are other games happening this weekend. Here is what I think will go down:
AZ over SF
I do not believe the Cardinals are actually as terrible as they seem. The defense feels lackluster and lacks the aggression of a year ago, but they play best with their backs against the wall. No Carson Palmer and a 1-3 record means backs against the wall.
GB over NYG
The Giants depleted secondary was exposed. It is only going to get worse when Rogers roles in 5 WR deep. I’m struggling to keep the faith with my team, just as the team struggles with getting Beckham in check. Maybe that at least will happen this week. It needs to happen soon. The Giants cannot fall further behind in that NFC East race.
OAK over SD
I’m starting to believe the hype on the Raiders. They are playing hungry and lean and fast. That is inspiring after seeing them struggle for so long.
BUF over LA
Sexy Rexy is a pro at holding on to his job.. and a lead. He will get his team out early against the Rams and hold on for the win a la the Patriots game.
DET over PHI
Lets stop annointing Wentz as the next big thing. We do that to every single NFC East QB and only Eli is going to the hall. So who is the guy? Dak? Wentz? That 1 yr contract dude in Washington? You like that? I don’t like that. I don’t like Philly here either. All praise the coming beat down.
Quick Picks:
BAL over WAS
CAR over TB
CIN over DAL
DEN over ATL
PIT over NYJ
MIN over HOU
TEN over MIA
IND over CHI
