NFL WEEK 6

Bengals vs bills: First I want to apologize to andy dalton and marvin lewis. At first it seemed to be a classic bengals move, having everyone high on you….and then get blown out. But this team showed it has more mental toughness and grit then prior bengals teams didn’t have. Dalton was sensational in the 4th quarter and the eifert,green combination is a deadly plaque to defenses and especially secondaries. There is something missing in the seahawks team. I think the seahawk players are still hurt by the play call to pass the ball on the one yard line so his golden boy russell wilson will be the hero and not marshawn lynch. That is my opinion. But the bengals shredded the “legion of boom” 20 unanswered points including a game winning field goal winning 27-24. O-line for bengals is also up there with the cowboys. The defense is also very good. The bills are kind of flying under the radar. They are still ridiculously talented on both sides of the ball and could all of a sudden explode. If they cut penalties and tyrod taylor plays I think they could win this game. I will probably regret picking the bills but I am picking them because the bengals have to lose sometime, the bills are ridiculously talented on defense and offense, and because they are home.

Bengals 21 – Bills 24

Broncos vs Browns: The broncos are 28th in offense and 1st in defense. That’s right, peyton manning led offense is 28th. The reason is because peyton manning is a shell of himself. He can’t make 40% of the throws and he isn’t mobile and add on to the fact that he can’t play in cold weather. The broncos have an amazing defense but in a pass happy league, defenses can’t carry teams now and days just because all the rules are favored towards offense. 5-0 people say. They beat baltimore, raiders, vikings, lions, and chiefs. They are combined 6-18. They won 24-12, 23-20, 19-13, 16-10, 31-24, and all those games they were outplayed except the lions game. The realization is they aren’t that good. The browns have played well, especially josh mccown and they are usually good at home. The run defense has been struggling but that secondary is very good. Broncos are going to go downhill from here.

Broncos 23 – Browns 24

Bears vs lions: How bout the bears? After everyone calling them one of the worst teams in the NFL but have won 2 impressive games late over raiders and chiefs. Jay cutler looks like a solid quarterback because of adam gase and the offense. The defense is still pretty bad but they are playing the Detroit Lions who have been awful this year. They will probably clean house with caldwell, stafford. But I am picking the lions. It is a division game, they have lost close games to good teams and they are probably motivated with the whole world telling them how bad they are, they are definitely going to be very pissed and will “take it out” on the bears.

Lions 30 – Bears 23

Texans vs jaguars: Before I talk about the game I must say blake Bortles has impressed me on how well he has performed. I am rolling with the jaguars. They play hard for gus bradley and I think they are the better team, right now. The texans are one of the disappointments in the NFL, underachieving proving that JJ watt isn’t the best player in the league because no matter how great he plays, they are still 1-4. The jaguars have overachieved and they will win this game at home.

Jaguars 20 –  Texans 17

Chiefs vs Vikings: The chiefs loosing jamaal charles, in my opinion, is the icing on the cake in the chiefs not making the playoffs. A slap in the face saying JC is their only offense and alex smith isn’t good. He put up 17 points against the bears defense?!?!?!?!?  I picked the vikings to make the playoffs and I still like them. Even though Teddy Bridgewater has disappointed this year as I thought he would become a top 15 qb but they still have Adrian Peterson and that defense. The chiefs will come to a realization that alex smith will never be better than average. He can’t carry a team, he can’t throw down the field all he does is have a good completion percentage ( checkdowns) and not many picks. The chiefs need to wake up and realize that they are going nowhere with alex smith.

Chiefs 20 – Vikings 24

Dolphins vs titians: The dolphins are so dysfunctional and laughable on how they spend so much money on star and when they get there they don’t play well. Mike wallace , Suh, Vontae Davis are a couple of examples who were or are stars who didn’t play well for them. The titans however have been surprisingly better then expected but are still lacking depth and talent surrounding there young stud marcus mariota who is very poised and a very smooth athlete. I am interested to see how eric cambell coaches cause he doesn’t seem like a coach but don’t just a book by it’s cover. But you can by the back page. Sean Payton has been raving about him to become a coach and he is one of the most respected it the league.

titans 26 – dolphins 17

Redskins vs jets: This teams are very similar with there teams. Run the ball, play defense, turnover prone quarterback. I think on offenses cancel each out with explosive receivers, tough running backs and turnover prone quarterbacks. So we go to defense and by a reasonable margin the jets win that with great secondary and very good front 7. Jets could be a team who can make a run for a deep playoff berth.

Redskins 20 – Jets 27

Cardinals vs Steelers: If Big ben plays will be the game of the week. Two explosive offenses, a rematch of Super Bowl 43, one of the best of all time ending in a santonio Holmes touchdown that shattered arizona hearts and had pittsburgh fans cheering. Bruce arians will be back in pittsburgh after being OC. He has obviously thrived in his new gig, making their offense and carson palmer must see tv and made carson top 10 quarterback in the league. While on the other end of the matchup, pittsburgh won a very exciting game vs cards division chargers where they gave a wildcat to the best running back in the league, Le’veon Bell and he had the patience to wait it burst threw the hole. This week Cardinals will continue there hot streak with a nice win over the steelers.

Cardinals 34 – Steelers 24

Panthers vs Seahawks: I think both teams in the nfc south are overrated and I think both will lose. The seahawks now have re-attached the chip they once had that made them great. Whenever everyone is doubting them they go out and destroy the league. It is true with all teams (cough,cough patriots). For the panthers they always play the seahawks but can never get over the hump just because they just don’t have the personnel. Coaching can only get you so far but you the players as well and even though they have the players on defense, they don’t on offense.

Seahawks 30 – Panthers 21

Ravens vs 49ers: The 49ers gave my giants a scare and it wasn’t like they played bad. It just validates my point. Teams are best when they are desperate. Both teams lost late with the other team making unbelievable catches by their tight ends. I think this will again be a close low scoring game but the ravens will bounce back and win in san francisco. If you are a fantasy owner for this game don’t start anyone except forcett maybe flacco;boldin;hyde. This game will be low scoring.

Ravens 19 – 49ers 16

Chargers vs packers: Why does it seem like the packers are ALWAYS at home. There away is a joke outside of arizona is a joke but back to the game. The chargers have continually shot themselves in the foot with dumb late game errors and loosing games late. They are the new New York Giants. The packers are still great but their offense has struggled a little bit. Yeah they put up 24 against the rams a good defense but they just didn’t have that aaron rodgers spark that they usually have. Philip Rivers has played great this year, leading the league in yards but the packers will win this game. They are nearly unstoppable at home and they have #12 as there quarterback aaron Rodgers who makes every throw look easy. Packers by 6.

Chargers 21 – packers 27

Patriots vs colts: This is the ultimate revenge game. The team that almost tarnished tom brady’s career and reputation. The colts can’t stop jonas gray on the ground so start dion Lewis in fantasy!!! Their isn’t much to say about this game other than this game will be a blow-out with tom Brady treating this like a Super Bowl. To the people that say luck is a lock to be a first ballot hall of famer I don’t see you anymore. Andrew Cluck throws too many picks.

Patriots 38 – Colts 21

Giants vs eagles: This game will be very close but there is no way that philly should be favored by 4. Giants have won three straight and they look very explosive. It is a possibility that cruz, odell, and randle all play on monday and if that is the case the eagles defensive secondary is done. I just don’t like the eagles. There is something missing like trust with coach or lack of explosiveness and leadership at the quarterback position. Either of those but I think the giants win in a close one.

Giants 28 – eagles 24.

MVP: Tom Brady

OPOY: Devonta freeman
