If you haven’t noticed by now, we are in the thick of a time that plays a role in the confidence pool, especially season-long pools – bye weeks!
This can play big in your season long pools. If you have had a solid start and are sitting comfortably towards the top of the standings, you are loving bye weeks as the top numbers aren’t in play! You can’t have 15 and 16 point games when there are only 14 games played in a week!
On the flip side, if you need to make up ground, you need to make sure you hit as many picks as you can in a week.
Lucky for you, you’re reading my picks, so you’re good to go ?
Week 6 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
14 – CHICAGO over Jacksonville – This is more about how close all the games are this week than how confident we should be about the Bears.
13 – Houston over NEW ENGLAND – Drake Maye will be a solid quarterback but won’t have the tools to put up enough points against Houston this week.
12 – PHILADELPHIA over Cleveland – Arguably a battle of the two most frustrating teams for their fan bases this season.
11 – BALTIMORE over Washington – The beltway battle is going to be fun to watch for a long time with Lamar vs Jayden
10 – GREEN BAY over Arizona – The Cardinals don’t have enough to win two big road games in a row.
9 – LAS VEGAS over Pittsburgh – FINALLY Aidan O’Connell is back under center where he belongs! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE RAIDERS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS.
8 – Buffalo over NEW YORK JETS – Obviously there are a lot of internal issues with the Jets that will overshadow much needed preparations for this week.
7 – SEATTLE over San Francisco – The Seahawks need this big win after last week’s big loss.
6 – DENVER over Los Angeles Chargers – The Broncos are winning games … … … I don’t know why.
5 – Tampa Bay over NEW ORLEANS – Our best to everyone in Florida.
4 – Detroit over DALLAS – The Lions have had this one circled on their calendars for a long time!
3 – TENNESSEE over Indianapolis – This is based on Anthony Richardson not playing. If he plays, switch to the Colts on this line.
2 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Cincinnati – As we know, the Giants should be on the one-point line if we think they’ll win … unless …
1 – CAROLINA over Atlanta – … we also think the Panthers will win in the same week as well.
