Pretty much everybody survived last week albeit some by the skin of their teeth. Detroit's overall stink managed to overpower Minnesota's clutch kicking stink to prevent a massive 209 player elimination. Baltimore and the Patriots also made late comebacks in games they were favorites. It seems I wasn't the only one afraid to pick the Titans, with only 22 picking them in a game they won handily against the Jags.
I struggled mightily this week in making my selection. Do I pick a bad team that is playing good? Or the really good team that is playing bad? The last few weeks I've been hearing Washington's defense is garbage and forget the pre-season hype they received. We all know that the Chiefs defense is trash, so Mahomes should be able to beat Heineke in a shootout. But, stranger things have happened and the Chiefs haven't looked good all season, so I will be fading this match-up on the road.
I will be doing this in favor or the Indianapolis Colts at home taking on the Houston Texans. With Daniel Jones being cleared to play, the Colts overtook the Rams as the biggest favorite of the week currently at -10. If you followed my pick last week in the Patriots, you already love the Texans for being the worst coached team in the league and gifting us a miracle survival. The Colts almost pulled off a nice upset Monday night against the Ravens and desperately need a win this week to make up a game on the Titans. Carson Wentz may not be able to beat the upper echelon teams, but fortunately that list does not include Houston.
Cheers! Drink Five!
