Saints (+3) at Patriots: I haven't been big on New England all year. They can't throw the ball down the field and I think they will be severely overmatched in this game. They can out-Belichick and out-Brady most of the NFL, but when it comes to the elite teams, I don't see it happening. Gronkowski should be back, but we don't know what he'll produce. The Saints are getting better with every game and I think they'll make a statement in this game.
Saints 28 Patriots 13
Colts (-1.5) at Chargers: I can't believe I picked Butthole Rivers to actually win last week. That won't happen this week.
Colts 28 Chargers 19
The Rest of Week 6 (31-32-2)
Giants (+7.5) at Bears: Both of these teams have been disappointing the past few games. Neither team can rush the passer or protect their own QB. Statistically, the Bears have the advantage but I'm not sure the Giants don't have one last big shot left in them. The Giants will hang in there for a while but come up short in the end. The Bears rely on turnovers and no one has turned it over more than the Giants:
Bears 27 Giants 26
Raiders (+8.5) at Chiefs: I liked the Chiefs before the season started and I still think that they are a very solid team, but 8.5 points is a lot vs a division rival. Oakland is 2-2 in Pryor's starts and their two losses were to the Colts and Broncos. I think the Chiefs will add to the list of really good teams that Pryor loses to but, Oakland covers.
Chiefs 20 Raiders 13
Eagles (-1) at Buccaneers: PILLOW FIGHT!!!
Eagles 23 Buccaneers 17
Packers (-3) at Ravens: Green Bay is banged up but they still have Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay will have to run the ball in order to keep the Ravens' pass rushers off of Rodgers. I'm not a Ravens guy. Their offense should struggle even with Clay Matthews missing the game. Packers get a big road win.
Packers 27 Ravens 16
Lions (-2.5) at Browns: This could be a season making win for one of these teams. The winner goes to 4-2. The loser could drop to third in their division. The game will probably be a low scoring game as both defenses matchup well with the offenses. I'm driving the Cleveland bandwagon for a while longer.
Browns 20 Lions 16
Panthers (+2.5) at Vikings: PILLOW FIGHT!!!
Panthers 21 Vikings 20
Rams (+7.5) at Texans: Almost a pillow fight. How can Houston give 7.5 points to anyone not named Jacksonville? The Rams should have a difficult time moving the ball but Houston has Matt Schaub. I can't give more than 7 with Matt Schaub playing QB.
Texans 13 Rams 9
Steelers (+2.5) at Jets: Are the Steelers really this bad? They still have big name players on their team and I think they still have a lot of fight left in them. Are the Jets really this good? The stats say YES but I'm still skeptical. Plus, it's a big letdown spot for the Jets. Coming off a bye, I'm going to ride the Steelers bandwagon for a few weeks. This will be an Investment if I can get 3 points.
Steelers 31 Jets 10
Bengals (-7) at Bills: I really like Cincy but they don't make enough big plays on offense. Their QB is sub par and their running game isn't all that impressive. However, Thaddeus Lewis is starting at QB for the Bills. Who is Thaddeus Lewis you say? I have no idea but I'm guessing that the Bengals shut him down.
Bengals 19 Bills 3
Titans (+13) at Seahawks: I know that Seattle has been blowing out teams at home but 13 points against a decent team? That's too many to be giving away. Fitzpatrick isn't a total liability and Tennessee's D can contain Seattle's offense. Seahawks win, but not by 13.
Seahawks 31 Titans 20
Jaguars (+26.5) at Broncos: I'll predict Jacksonville will have a lead in this game. But it won't last. The score goes from 3-0 to 42-3 very quickly. But Blackmon will catch 2 TD for a backdoor cover!!
Broncos 42 Jaguars 17
Cardinals (+10.5) at 49ers: Cardinals are somehow 3-2. They can matchup with teams that throw the ball, but I don't see how they are going to be able to stop the 49ers running game. And even if they can, Carson Palmer will throw multiple passes to 49ers DBs. I don't see an upset here.
49ers 24 Cardinals 7
Redskins (+5.5) at Cowboys: Does anyone know what to think of either of these two teams? Both are inconsistent and both have glaring weaknesses, especially on defense. The Skins are coming off a bye and could possibly move into first place with a win and an Eagles loss. How bad does that sound? PILLOW FIGHT!!!
Cowboys 24 Redskins 23
