Four teams have a bye this week. Here are my picks...
San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks San Francisco, and they won.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears in London Chicago. This should be a close game, but the Jaguars have been in a bit of a funk this year while Caleb Williams for the Bears is looking better and better.
Arizona Cardinals at Green Bay Packers Green Bay. The Packers are getting some of their receivers back this week, and that should help. Jordan Love is mostly a very good quarterback. His problem is he will occasionally go brain dead and throw up a pass that can just as easily be intercepted as caught. If he can limit those to one or less per game, the Packers should win a lot.
Cleveland Browns at Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia. Last call for respectability for the Eagles! If they lose this one, they sink toward the bottom of the NFL barrel.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints Tampa Bay. I might have picked the Buccaneers even if Derek Carr was playing quarterback for the Saints. With Spencer Rattler getting his first NFL start, it's a much easier pick.
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans Tennessee... maybe. Tell me who is playing in this game, and I think I could make a good pick. It looks like Anthony Richardson is out, but how about Michael Pittman? I can't even find out if Joe Flacco will take his Geritol before the game. All of this will be sorted out just minutes before the game, but I might still be at church, so I'll assume that Pittman will play but that Flacco will forget his Geritol.
Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens Baltimore. For those people who are picking the Commanders to win against the Ravens, they must not realize Lamar Jackson's record against the NFC. He's lost once to them. I'm not talking this year. I'm talking in his life!
Houston Texans at New England Patriots Houston. This is Drake Maye's first start for the Patriots. Couldn't they have picked an easier defense to start a career against?
Pittsburgh Steelers at Las Vegas Raiders Pittsburgh. And, I don't feel that good about it. I'm banking on the Steelers defense getting a couple of turnovers against new starting Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell.
Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers seem to have the Broncos number. That's literally the only reason I'm picking them.
Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys Detroit. This seems like a bad matchup for the Cowboys. They don't stop the run very well while the Lions love to bash a team into submission. I predict the Cowboys will cry "Uncle" late in the game, or will it be "Daddy?!"
Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers Atlanta. The Panthers have a shot, but that's about all they have. The Falcons are just the better team unless they don't take care of the ball.
Cincinnati Bengals at New York Giants Cincinnati. Normally, I would ask why the NFL would want to put a sorry team like the Giants on Sunday Night Football, but this Giants team is getting better while the Bengals are getting worse on defense. I still like the Bengals to win a very, very close game.
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets Buffalo. I see this as another close game. The Bills will need to play better than they have on the road to win it. Don't be surprised if the Jets win. Well, be a LITTLE surprised.
May God always be your number 1 draft pick!
