I don’t want to jinx it. Every time I write the G-men in as winners it ends up an L. While it is really egotistical to assume any statement I make has an effect on the outcome of a football game, I still hold on to superstition like a kid to stuffed bear. That being said, I won’t lie to you either. See, I believe the G-Men are going to win this one, especially facing a 3rd string QB with a former backup and a fullback as his 2 and 3.
Yeah, we got this.
The rest of the NFL is mystery to me. Once upon a week the Rams, Bucs, and Jags knew their place, but this past week all three won and made the greater fool out of a lot of top pickers. This week I hope they realize they’ve flown too close to the sun and fall back to the reality of the NFL basement. My picks mostly reflect that promise:
INDY over TEN
Despite the drubbing by St Louis, I still believe the Colts are a playoff caliber team. They’ll need to prove it this week in a bounce back game. I’m counting on their defense to bone up.
NYJ over BUF
These Jets win every other week. They didn’t win last week (bye week), so they’re due.
CHI over BAL
The Ravens flat out suck. It is a result of the new offensive schema and old offensive line.
CLE over CIN
HOU over OAK
AZ over JAC
WAS over PHI
IMHO, Nick Foles is not the real deal. In the face of an aggressive D, he will cave and make very bad choices.
TB over ATL
SD over MIA
NO over SF
NYG over GB
MIN over SEA
DEN over KC
CAR over NE
