Who You Got?! Week 6

Last week was probably my most impressive week when it came to win-loss record. This week appears to be easier, but my favorite phrase when it comes to football is this: Any given Sunday. It basically means that anything can happen and you should never think that something is guaranteed. Even the Browns could win a game!

Last week: 10-4

Overall: 47-30

Thursday Night Football (5:25 pm AZ time):

Denver Broncos @ San Diego Chargers

The Chargers seem to find ways to lose every week and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon. Between a dominant Broncos defense (albeit, one that just got abused by a very good Falcons offense) and a shaky offensive line, the Chargers will struggle to put up points. I will take Denver in a low scoring affair.

Sunday Morning Football (10:00 am AZ time):

Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints

The Panthers secondary is bad but the Saints defense as a whole is bad. This should be a high scoring affair and I will take the team who can get to the opposing quarterback on a consistent basis. Advantage, Carolina.

Cleveland Browns @ Tennessee Titans

The Browns are bad. Also, the Titans are coming off their most complete game of the season. Give me the home team by 10+.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington

The Lions found a way to make the Eagles offense somewhat mortal. Washington is coming off a lackluster win against the Ravens. With how wide open the NFC East appears, either of these teams could win the division. This game should hopefully show us what each team is made of. I like the Eagles a lot better than Washington right now. Even on the road, I am buying into the Eagles hype train.

Cincinnati Bengals @ New England Patriots

The Bengals have not looked good for most of the season. Now they have to travel to Foxborough and face a red-hot Patriots team? Yeah, this won’t go very well for the Bengals, who will drop to a shocking 2-4 on the season after this loss.

Baltimore Ravens @ New York Giants

This game could go either way. But with a dominant Ravens defense against a one-dimensional Giants offense, I don’t see this going very well for the Giants. If the Ravens offense can’t get clicking behind new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, it could spell serious trouble for Baltimore. This will be a low scoring affair, I find the Ravens have too much to lose and will grind out a close win on the road.

San Francisco 49ers @ Buffalo Bills

The Bills are getting hotter than Rex and Rob Ryan’s seats. Being at home will certainly help their case but not nearly as much as playing against Colin Kaepernick fresh off the bench. I don’t see Kaepernick coming out and dominating anytime soon, if ever. This should be another lop-sided loss for San Francisco.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Chicago Bears

The Bears offense behind Brian Hoyer hasn’t been half bad. The Jaguars are fresh off a bye week and an impressive win two weeks ago against the Colts. I wouldn’t be shocked to see a high scoring game out of these two this week. Even on the road, I think the Jaguars offense will prove to be too much for a lackluster Bears defense. This game stays within seven.

Los Angeles Rams @ Detroit Lions

This will be the week that Todd Gurley puts it all together. Though half the blame (generously) needs to be shouldered by the Rams offensive line, I think this is the week that Gurley ramps up a big game and helps LA to get going. Unfortunately, the Lions offense behind Matthew Stafford will pick apart this Rams defense. Stafford has been hot-and-cold this year but I think he can have back-to-back successful games this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Miami Dolphins

This game will not be close. Steelers win by 20+ behind the trio of Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell.

Sunday Afternoon Football (1:05 and 1:25 pm AZ time):

Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders

Even with the worst defense in the NFL, the Raiders offense is simply to high octane to stop. This Chiefs defense has been hit-and-miss at times this season and Marcus Peters vs Amari Cooper will be a great match up to keep an eye on. End of the day, I will take the home team in a great division match up.

Dallas Cowboys @ Green Bay Packers

Ezekiel Elliott has been a world-beater so far this season. On the contrary, the Packers defense has been impossible to run on. Whoever can win in the trenches will win this game, and I think that the Packers defense is for real. Add in a great Packers offense and this game likely will be close the entire way. Give me Green Bay by three.

Atlanta Falcons @ Seattle Seahawks

Even with how great Seattle’s home-field advantage is, the Falcons just seem unstoppable right now. The Falcons did just abuse the Denver Broncos’ lights out defense and could very well take advantage of Seattle’s defense as well. With how bad Seattle’s offensive line has been, the Falcons pass rush will take full advantage and abuse Russell Wilson for 60 minutes.

Sunday Night Football (5:30 pm AZ time):

Indianapolis Colts @ Houston Texans

The Texans offense needs a good kick in the ass to get going and there is no better way to do that than playing the Colts’ “defense”. Whitney Mercilus and Jadeveon Clowney have to be licking their chops looking at this Colts offensive line that has already surrendered 20 sacks this season. Add in the home-field advantage factor and this game shouldn’t be close.

Monday Night Football (5:30 pm AZ time):

New York Jets @ Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals offense, powered by David Johnson, will steamroll this below average Jets defense. Leonard Williams and company should be able to pressure Carson Palmer all day, but with how bad Darrelle Revis has been I think the Cardinals will find ways to attack the Jets and put up major points. Plus, Ryan Fitzpatrick is BAD. The Cardinals’ defense should get two or more turnovers to help their cause.
