MONDAY NIGHT RECORD (3-2)

WEEK SIX WE HAVE OUR GAME FACE ON.

THE THURSDAY NIGHT GAME

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Eagles are missing pieces on their roster and some injuries as they are not flying right. Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will find and exploit weaknesses the Eagles have on defense. Look for Jalen Hurts to make some point of the game interesting as the Eagles do score in chunks. Eagles can and will beat the bottom of the pond scum teams in the league, but will not be able to take out a top tier team. The Eagles may win a quarter of the game. That’s all they can muster up versus a well-balanced team like the Buccaneers.

OUR PICK: BUCCANEERS

THE SUNDAY SLATE

MIAMI DOLPHINS AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Battle of Florida in London, England. Do you think these two teams from Florida playing across the pond will lack the beach babes in the stands?

Not sure these girls will provide Urban Meyer, the coach of the Jaguars, a lap dance. This is a game Urban Meyer and his young quarterback can win. Both teams blown out last week. Miami has some injuries. The Dolphins defense can not stop the run, one of worst at that in the league. Jaguars running back James Robinson should have a big day. Look for Trevor Lawrence to use his feet for big chunks of yards. I think the rookie quarterback gets his very first NFL victory and does it in on another continent.

OUR PICK JAGUARS

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS AT THE WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM

Once upon a time ago, this match up would be a battle of two teams using the Native American Indian as their logo. Since then, the Redskins logo has been removed from society. The Chiefs have not used the Indian cartoon in years, even decades, as they have an arrow head on their helmets. The Washington Football team lost their nickname last year. This year the TEAM lost their defense and can’t find it, like losing your wallet. Chiefs coming off a huge loss last week to the Bills at home. Who’s scalping who? Patrick Mahomes and company should put a 40 pointer on the scoreboard with a rebound win.

OUR PICK: CHIEFS

LA RAMS AT NEW YORK GIANTS

The Giants are a MASH unit. Giants racked up numerous amount of injuries last week versus the Cowboys to their playmakers. Giants will have a problem with the type of defense the Rams bring to the table. Matthew Stafford each week, behind center, is getting better and better. It’s a good week for the Rams to get a good work out in, and tune up their own game. This thanks to the Giants being able to participate in their own beating.

OUR PICK: RAMS

HOUSTON TEXANS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Colts have played Seattle, LA Rams, Tennessee, & Baltimore so far this year… all losses. The lone win came versus the Dolphins. Welcome Houston with open arms. Colts, a playoff team from last year, have played a very tough schedule. Colts should be able to play their game of ball control offense and be able to stop the Texans offense who is guided by a struggling rookie quarterback, Davis Mills, who has already 5 interceptions thrown.

OUR PICK: COLTS

CINCINNATI BENGALS AT DETROIT LIONS

Sometimes you forget the Bengals are a pretty good team this season. The Bengals had the Packers on the brink last week in a game that went to overtime. Lions only growl when they dig themselves into a hole in each contest early, with mostly stupid mistakes. No way the Lions will be able to contain a high powered offense by the Bengals, which will make people start opening their eyes, as Joe Burrows has a running game and a slew of play-making receivers. Plus, Bengals can get to their opponents’ quarterback. Could this be a recipe for the post-season or is it too early to talk about that?

OUR PICK: BENGALS

GREEN BAY PACKERS AT CHICAGO BEARS

Here we go again. The Bears have won two games in row. Justin Fields’ play means the talk now suggests he is the real deal at quarterback. The Bears defense is a resurgence of that 2018 unit. Head coach Matt Nagy is still an idiot. Slow your roll, Bears have beat the Lions and a Raiders team in disarray.

When it comes to good teams and the one guy, the slayer of Bears, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, the hype of the Bears comes back to earth in a tumbling boom. The Matt Nagy offense seems only to work well against the bottom tier of the league. Green Bay has the Bears number. They call Packers and Bears a rivalry, but it’s more like a hunt to slaughter and reduce the populations.

OUR PICK: PACKERS

LA CHARGERS AT BALTIMORE RAVENS

This may be the game of the week between the Chargers and the Ravens, both 4-1 teams. Both teams have in common that they beat the Chiefs. Both teams are talented on both sides of the ball, so it should be a battle to the very end. Chargers can score points off great defensive units as they did versus the Browns last week and put 47 points on the board. Chargers could exploit the Ravens defense with short precision passes. It could be the key to escape Baltimore with a big victory and make a statement to the rest of the league.

OUR PICK:CHARGERS

MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT CAROLINA PANTHERS

Vikings are due for a big game on offense. The Viking defense has played much better than the start of the season. Meanwhile, the hopes of getting Christian McCaffrey back in the fold is not happening. The Carolina running back heading to the injured list. Carolina season started off with a bang and now is slipping down the toilet.

Quarterback Sam Darnold has played like dirty toilet water the last two weeks as he has 6 interceptions for the season. Kirk Cousins is due for a big game.

OUR PICK: VIKINGS

ARIZONA CARDINALS AT CLEVELAND BROWNS

To me, this game is an upset in the works. The Cardinals offense came back down to earth and only put up 17 points, but they still won the game. The Browns scored 42 points and lost the game versus the Chargers. I could see the Browns rebounding in a big way while the Cardinals suffer their first loss of the season.

It’s time for the clowns to rise up. Where have you been all season Jadeveon Clowney? Starting to think Clowney is all hype. Look for Myles Garrett and the Clowney to disrupt Kyle Murray’s Mojo. Nick Chubb is out. Kareem Hunt’s carry load will increase and pay off big time in A HUGE WIN as CLEVELAND ROCKS!!!

OUR PICK: THE BROWNIES

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS AT DENVER BRONCOS

Jon Gruden is quite a poet and he didn’t know it would come back to haunt him. What goes in the clouds will stay in the clouds. Gruden is out as head coach of the Raiders as he steps down. Chucky Gruden’s comments will put an end to his services in the NFL. Cool to see Jon Gruden resurface in the XFL. Broncos and Raiders both have been playing badly in recent weeks. Usually the interim coach, a different voice, can provide a quick victory right after the firing or this case stepping down. I like the Broncos being at home and their defense getting them back in the win column.

OUR PICK: BRONCOS

DALLAS COWBOYS AT NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

If only the Patriots had a Tom Brady behind center to be able to keep up with the Dallas Cowboys offense. Not sure what the Patriots would need to upset the Cowboys.

Maybe Head Coach Belichick is looking through the peep hole to find Dallas’ playbook.

The old Statue of Liberty play in the Patriots playbook, deflating the tires of the opponent’s planes, trains, or automobiles.

Belichick can take a page out of the Astros play book. If Belichick acts now, he can have free delivery of a Houston trash can by Amazon right before game time.

OUR PICK:COWBOYS

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Without Russell Wilson behind center and Ben Roethlisberger’s arm about to fall off, this game should be a wash. I do like the Steelers being at home. The Steelers defense is better than the Seahawks bend and broken defense. Steelers running game and few passes out mean Big Ben should be enough to get Pittsburgh back to the 500 mark.

OUR PICK: STEELERS

THE MONDAY NIGHT AFFAIR

BUFFALO BILLS AT TENNESSEE TITANS

Bills scratch the Chiefs off their revenge list last Sunday night. Bills could get even with the Titans from last season. It was the game when Derrick Henry’s man handled the Bills running them over like a steam roller. Bills defense is better than that from the last meeting. Tennessee’s defense was able to get turnovers last time these two teams met. I think the Bills will have a cleaner game. I can’t see the Titans able to keep up with the Bills, score to score. These are the same Titans that lost to the Jets two weeks ago. Bills have won 4 in a row and are just giving teams a beat-down.

I think that Buffalo fan needs another beer. Get me one while you’re in the cooler.

OUR PICK:BILLS
