Am I the only that thinks this season has had too much of a hint of…mediocrity?
Perhaps it’s just the fact that the national games have just been atrocious (speaking of, buckle up for a prime-time week of NO/ARI, PIT/MIA, and CHI/NE) but there just doesn’t seem to be too many dominant teams this year. Previous perennial powerhouses (3-pointer) like the Packers and Bucs have issues that have bled over to the field – three divisions don’t have a team above .500 –the Eagles are undefeated…but are you putting money on them to win the Super Bowl? Not to mention the fact that BOTH Super Bowl teams from last year are currently 3-3.
Maybe that’s a good thing though. We are at the height of parody this season – nothing wrong with that! Aside from the Bills, who are far and away the best team so far this season, there really isn’t another dominant team. A lot of really good teams for sure, but not too many that you have total confidence in.
So, that being said…let’s show some confidence to 14 teams :)
Week 7 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
14 – NEW ENGLAND over Chicago – If the Bears can’t beat Washington at home…eesh…
13 – CINCINNATI over Atlanta – The Falcons have been a hard team to peg this season. If you want to move this game down your sheet I’d understand…but still take Cincy.
12 – LAS VEGAS over Houston – It starts NOW! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE 1-4 RAIDERS WILL FINISH WITH DOUBLE DIGIT WINS THIS SEASON.
11 – BALTIMORE over Cleveland – How can you pick against Baltimore now that they have DeSean Jackson?! Oh yeah, by the way, that happened this week.
10 – TENNESSEE over Indianapolis – If there is still no Jonathan Taylor, you could very well put a Titans win on the top line.
9 – ARIZONA over New Orleans – De … Andre … Hopkins
8 – DALLAS over Detroit – “I’m the better Thanksgiving host!” “No, I’M the better Thanksgiving host!”
7 – MIAMI over Pittsburgh – Yes Miami will get Tua back – but let’s be honest, they’ll win this game because the Dolphins have a better color scheme, right? ;)
6 – Tampa Bay over CAROLINA – I can’t fully express to you just how happy it makes me that Tom Brady vs PJ Walker now looks like more of an even matchup!
5 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Seattle – At the beginning of the season you would have thought this would be on the 14 point line. You can’t underestimate Geno and the boys anymore.
4 – Green Bay over WASHINGTON – Remember what I said about Tom Brady and PJ Walker? Yeah, we’ll rehash that one for Aaron Rodgers and Tyler Heinicke.
3 – New York Giants over JACKSONVILLE – If the season ended today Brian Daboll would be Coach of the Year, right?
2 – SAN FRANCISCO over Kansas City – If the 9ers are able to get a big 4th quarter lead against the Chiefs, hopefully this time they’ve learned how to keep it.
1 – New York Jets over DENVER – Wonder which Bronco will end up with a mysterious random injury after this loss?
