PREDICTIONS WEEK SIX

THE THURSDAY NIGHT GAME

WASHINGTON COMMANDERS AT CHICAGO BEARS

This game features two JV teams going at it in the NFL. I’d rather go watch a local high school game instead of trying to stomach this contest and pay 12 bucks for a beer. Both the Commanders and Bears offensive lines feature doors of a whorehouse. You can come in, but you won’t know what you’ll catch. If either team can catch the football. All the locals and my circle are heavy on the Bears winning this one. I’m certainly not following that herd heading over the cliff.

OUR PREDICTION: COMMANDERS

THE SUNDAY SLATE

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS AT ATLANTA FALCONS

Could this be a trap game for the 49ers with the Chiefs up in the on deck circle? No team can sleep on the Atlanta Falcons as they battled with every opponent each week. Jimmy Garoppolo is doing what Jimmy does best… win games.

The 49ers have won back-to-back games and are playing solid football without making mistakes. The Falcons will battle but once again come up short.

OUR PICK: 49ERS

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS AT CLEVELAND BROWNS

I have picked against the Patriots every week which made me look foolish last week as I thought the Lions would roar to a victory. Browns have lost some close games, but every loss means Deshaun Watson’s chances of starting a playoff game when he gets back to action become that much harder. I think the Browns can run on the Patriots as Bill Belichick’s run defense has been surrendering 128 Yards per contest so far this season. Jacoby Brissett may want to add another loss to his former team. The Browns keep those doggies rolling while Watson has another displeased lady with the massage table filing a sexual complaint against him. Can Browns score more points than Deshaun Watson’s sexual pile of grievances?

OUR PREDICTION: BROWNS

NEW YORK JETS AT GREEN BAY PACKERS

Love when the Packers fall on hard times. How scary are the Jets flying into Green Bay with their sights on full throttle for the upset at Lambeau Field? Aaron Rodgers’ passing game has struggled all year. Thank the lord the Packers traded away their best receiver to the Raiders. Look at the Brewers trading their closer at the trade deadline while leading their division. We see how that worked. Brewers miss the playoffs and Josh Hader closed out the Dodgers yesterday. Something must be surfacing in the Wisconsin cheese.

I like the upset here with Jets forcing six turnovers in the last two games. Packers will give the Jets a heavy dose of Aaron Jones and AJ Dillion who will carry this team to victory and the entire Cheese-head state could come off the ledge of their barns.

OUR PICK: PACKERS

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS AT INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Both these teams suck. Both these teams screw me all year either picking them or going against them. Colts will be without their starting horse in the back field, Jonathan Taylor. Thank the lord I picked this cat on my fantasy team. The Jaguars went back to their old Jaguar ways last Sunday versus Lovie Smith… pathetic Texans. This will be another awful game to watch. I’m going with the home team in this one. Maybe Matt Ryan will show up for the first time this season and do something.

OUR PICK: COLTS

MINNESOTA VIKINGS AT MIAMI DOLPHINS

Dolphins are living the script in the Al Pacino movie, Any Given Sunday losing their top two quarterbacks with injuries.

Dolphins have better chances of the heat playing a factor versus the Vikings instead of hoping & praying Teddy Bridgewater can get out of concussion protocols and start this game and play well. Vikings offense should be able to handle the Dolphins defense. Vikings defense should be able to pressure whichever quarterback starts this game. Obviously, Dolphins have a weakness on that line as teams are teeing off on their quarterbacks.

OUR PREDICTION: VIKINGS

CINCINNATI BENGALS AT NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Two Bumble legendary quarterbacks square off in the Big Easy. Joe Burrows versus Andy Dalton. What a fight card while you’re eating spaghetti chili.

Since Dalton left Cincinnati, the Red Rifle has beaten his former team dressed in a Cowboys uniform and a Bears uniform. Bengals desperately need a win, and the Saints dome is a hard place to achieve that goal. Maybe not when it’s your old stomping grounds. I can see the gold and black being replaced with purple and yellow LSU colors where Joe Burrow went.

OUR PICK: BENGALS

BALTIMORE RAVENS AT NEW YORK GIANTS

I know the Giants are 4-1 and coming off a big victory versus the Packers. Just not buying what the G-Men are selling. Giants are definitely a football team on the rise but top of the NFC. Ravens will be a pretty good measuring stick for Brian Daboll’s squad. Ravens could be undefeated with some bad losses. They gave up the lead late in a few contests. Ravens played the Bengals tough last week and grinded out a victory which should get Lamar Jackson and company feeling good going to New Jersey on the road to bring the Giants back down to earth.

OUR PICK: RAVENS

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Tom Brady should not need the roughing of the passer call which was not last week on the road in Pittsburgh to win this one.

Brady fine kicking the Falcons defender. How many defenders do you think over the years would like to meet Tom Brady in dark alley? Ryan Fitzpatrick would love that idea. For the Steelers they will have a rare losing season. It’s all about developing rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett who looks like something special so far.

OUR PICK: BUCCANEERS

CAROLINA PANTHERS AT LA RAMS

Panthers still have not gotten a 300 yard game of total offense. Panthers head coach fired. Baker Mayfield is in the dog house. Panthers trade rumors swirling. Who wouldn’t want a bus ticket out of there? Meanwhile the Superbowl champs are experiencing tough times. This Sunday, the Rams will be eating well having some Panther fillets on the barbie.

OUR PICK: RAMS

ARIZONA CARDINALS AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

What is this craziness I’ve been hearing through the grape vine? Geno Smith of the Seahawks is a legit quarterback in the NFL? Same Geno who once suited up with the Jets. Smith leads the league in QB rating, how about those apples, as a veteran he finds his game later in his career. Another battle of the birds, and it seems like we had a lot of those in recent weeks. I do not like either squad’s defense in this one. This should be a shoot-out. I like Kyler Murray as the last man standing by the time the final whistle blows.

OUR PICK: CARDINALS

BUFFALO BILLS AT KANSAS CITY CHIEFS

This is the clash of the titans match up that everyone wants to see. Chiefs and Bills – this one could be a preview of the AFC championship. Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, two of the best quarterbacks in the entire league, went at it last year in that epic post-season game that went to overtime.

Bills have been knocked out of the playoffs by the Chiefs, the last two seasons. Allen and the Bills went into Kansas City on a Sunday night about this time last year and throttled the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. This game should be another classic and it should be featured as the game of the week. Must-see television. I like the Bills on the road in this one. I think the Bills will not play that preventative-style defense that gave the Chiefs an easy drive to send that playoff game last year to overtime. Von Miller, the X-factor, will find a way to get Mahomes to the ground. Bills get their revenge, but the real revenge will come in the playoffs with Kansas City visiting Buffalo in the cold weather.

OUR PICK: BILLS

SUNDAY NIGHT GAME

DALLAS COWBOYS AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

The city of Philadelphia is having some magic this weekend. First the Phillies, took down last year’s champs in the baseball post-season. Eagles trying to stay undefeated face their archrival Cowboys who come to town on a 4-game winning streak high. Something has to give on streaks. Cooper Rush as a starter for the Boys has not lost a game in his career. The Eagles have not lost a game this season. Cowboys sack artist, Micah Parsons, is dealing with a groin injury. Hard to chase a guy like Jalen Hurts who makes big plays with his legs. Dak Prescott’s return could play into the mind of Cooper Rush in a big NFC East showdown. The town of Philadelphia to me has that mojo with their sports teams right at this moment. It will not wear off on Sunday.

OUR PICK: EAGLES

THE MONDAY NIGHT GAME

DENVER BRONCOS AT LA CHARGERS

Russell Wilson and that Broncos offense have shown me nothing all season long to pick them to win a road game in LA. This isn’t a road game for the Chargers because they have no fans. Broncos defense has played well all season, but how long can they contain the Chargers running and aerial attack? Justin Herbert will put points up on the board while Russell Wilson can’t get the family roadster in gear.

OUR PICK: CHARGERS
