NFL Week 6 Picks

Picks coming in a day early this week, off to UMass for the night tonight in what should be one for the ages.

Won't do anything too fancy this week, other than mention that quietly I've put together back-to-back winning weeks to inch closer to that .500 mark. Baby steps.

Last Week: 8-5
Season: 34-39-4
Locks of the Week: 3-2 (Texans lost to Raiders in Week 5)


Home team in CAPS

PACKERS (-14) over Rams


Because St. Louis has regressed to the way they were 2007-2009.

STEELERS (-12) over Jaguars


Because Blaine Gabbert doesn't know what he's in for with the Pittsburgh D.

Eagles (-3) over REDSKINS


Because the Eagles have to win one of these weeks, right? I'm making them my Lock of the Week again. Let's go.

LIONS (-4) over 49ers


Because it's fun living in a world where the Lions are undefeated in mid-October.

Panthers (+4) over FALCONS


Because Cam Newton is sick and tired of moral victories.

Colts (+7) over BENGALS


Because the Bengals are due to lose a game they're actually supposed to win.

GIANTS (-3) over Bills


Because Eli Manning can't possibly have two bad performances in a row, right? Wait actually that's not only possible, but likely. Whatever let's keep going before I change my mind.

RAVENS (-8) over Texans


Because the Texans would lose Mario Williams in a season that was basically gift-wrapped for them to take the AFC South.

RAIDERS (-6.5) over Browns


Because the Black Hole is gonna be rockin' for Al.

PATRIOTS (-6.5) over Cowboys


Because Tony Romo will inevitably throw an interception to Vince Wilfork.

BUCCANEERS (+5.5) over Saints


Because Tampa needs to rebound from that debacle by the bay last weekend.

Vikings (+2.5) over BEARS


Because Jared Allen is about to get real comfortable with Jay Cutler and the Bears' offensive line.

JETS (-7) over Dolphins


Because when Matt Moore and Brandon Marshall are prominently involved on Monday night, go the other direction.
