Rules: simply pick the winner of each game listed. No score required (though a little added commentary on your picks won't be discouraged). You must make your picks before the first game of the week (usually Thursday Night Football) to be eligible for all the games. If you miss Thursday, you can still make picks for Saturday/Sunday games. If you haven't picked the Sunday games by the start of the first game (1pm EST), your Sunday picks won't count.
If I've liked your post, consider your picks logged and recorded. So if you want to change them, best tell me in another post.

If the Bucs can beat the Rams then Seattle can catch them on a short week in Seattle. New England/Redskins should be blacked out because it shouldn't be viewed by minors! Buffalo defense wins it for the team. Baltimore takes out Pittsburgh. Jets with an upset win in the Leprechaun Bowl.
Da Bears! defense is enough to take down Da Raiders! Giants have Minnesota at home. It's doable with Mr Jones at QB. New Orleans took out Dallas so they should take down Tampa. Fucking hell! Atlanta or Houston??? Both teams are an enigma and whoever I pick will lose! Coin toss for Houston.
Dear god, I pity the people who get stuck with the Arizona/Cincy game! Carolina edges Jacksonville in a close one. Chargers might lose in a trap game to the Broncos, but I will stick with the Not San Diego Chargers.
Game of the week! Taking Green Bay over Dallas! KC knocks out Indy and potential Super Bowl match up! The 49ers beat the Browns in a shoot out between Garoppolo and Mayfield!

Jesus, how did New England get that schedule? Robert Kraft got his best friend Roger Goodell the Commissioner job.

Btw, what is up with 30 games in the early slot on Sunday, then 2 games in the later slot? Who comes up with these ideas??

Two Sunday afternoon games? Somebody needs to be fired in scheduling.

Here are my picks for Week 5
Seahawks over Rams - Rams defense is struggling and Goff hasn’t been sharp, I’ll take the Seahawks at home.
Patriots over Redskins - One of the best teams in the NFL vs one of the worst, I’ll take the Pats easily.
Bills over Titans - Tough pick, but I’ll take the Bills because I like their defense and I feel they are a slightly better team than the Titans.
Ravens over Steelers - I’m not that impressed with either team right now, but I’ll take the Ravens because they just have more talent.
Eagles over Jets - Another easy pick, the Eagles are a far superior team.
Bears over Raiders - Bears defense will dominate the game.
Vikings over Giants - Vikings have too many offensive weapons for the Giants defense to handle.
Saints over Bucs - Saints are playing very well right now, they are at home and I think their defense will slow down the Bucs.
Texans over Falcons - Interesting matchup, but I’ll take the Texans as the Falcons defense isn’t playing well at all right now and I think the Texans will win in a close one.
Cardinals over Bengals - The Bengals are just dismal right now, I like what I’ve seen from the Cards more, Murray gets his first win.
Jaguars over Panthers - I like what the Jags have going right now with Minshew at QB, I’ll take them to win again.
Chargers over Broncos - Chargers are a far better team and will win easily.
Cowboys over Packers - Interesting matchup, I’ll take the Cowboys because they are at home and because I think their defense can limit Rodgers and their offensive attack can outplay the Packers defense.
Chiefs over Colts - Brissett and the Colts won’t be able to keep up with Mahomes and company.
Browns over 49ers - Very intriguing matchup, but I’ll take the Browns because I think they are a more complete team.

The only way the Patriots lose to Washington is if the ghost of Arnold Rothstein pays off a bunch of people  |

Thursday October 3rd
8:20pm EST
LA Rams @ Seattle
- Rams looked pretty bad this past weekend and Seattle is at home with one of the better home field advantages in the NFL. I expect a weird Thursday night type of game but I'll give the edge to the home team.
Sunday October 6th
1:00pm
New England @ Washington
- Woof
Buffalo @ Tennessee
- I think Buffalo's defense is good enough to get this win. I imagine a low scoring effort in the range of 17-14 type of game.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh
- Baltimore rebounds after a shockingly piss poor performance against the Browns and takes down the Steelers. Hopefully Lamar Jackson has a monster day for fantasy reasons.
NY Jets @ Philadelphia
- Eagles looked better against the Packers and have a mini bye week having played on Thursday night. Plus they're home and it's against the Jets.
Chicago vs Oakland (London, UK)
- Chase Daniel could be an upgrade at QB for the Bears. That defense and Kahlil Mack facing his former team for the first time should be enough to get the W.
Minnesota @ NY Giants
- This is a tough one. The Vikings outside of Cook just haven't looked very good. That showing against the Bears on Sunday was utterly pathetic. Doubt this'll be a game that anyone is excited to watch.
Tampa Bay @ New Orleans
- Saints are still winning even without Brees. While the Bucs put up a ton of points last weekend I just don't put much stock into them being consistent specially with Jameis behind center.
Atlanta @ Houston
- Houston has been a hard team to judge this season. However I personally think we stop viewing the Falcons as a good team. I'm betting on the Falcons being bad more so than I am the Texans being good here. I'd like to think that Watson and Nuke could carve up that defense. Plus Texans at home.
Arizona @ Cincinnati
- Who cares?
Jacksonville @ Carolina
- Toss up here but I'll go with Minshew. It's at least fun rooting for him.
4:05pm
Denver @ LA Chargers
- I'd hope that the Chargers could win this game pretty easily, however I wouldn't be surprised if they managed to screw something up.
4:25pm
Green Bay @ Dallas
- This is a tough one. Aaron Rodgers has a history of owning the Cowboys at Jerryworld. However they're going to be without Davante Adams which is a HUGE blow. The Cowboys look like they'll be without Tyron Smith which is a huge deal as well but given how the Eagles running game looked against GB I think going run heavy limits the Packers pass rush making the Smith absence not as big as Adams for GB. Zeke could get in the 200 yards area. Yikes.
8:20pm
Indianapolis @ Kansas City
- Rooting for Indy but I think KC wins this one. I really do wish the media would stop acting like everything Mahomes does is other level though. I mean people blew up at the fact that he ran for a first down and looked at the referee to see if a flag was being thrown and treated it like a "no look rush". I bet these same people would praise him for taking a no look shit on their chest too. He's clearly the best QB in football but come on.
Monday October 7th
8:15pm
Cleveland @ San Francisco
- Tough one but I think Cleveland got something going last week and I also don't fully trust this 49ers team despite coming off of a bye week.

LA Rams @ Seattle - Usually best to pick the home team in TNF, especially here with the Rams' defense suddenly reeling and Russell Wilson playing on another level. SEAHAWKS win.
New England @ Washington - After his lordship Thomas Brady's tough game in Buffalo, he needs a nice break. He's 42 years old, after all. PATRIOTS cruise to a win.
Buffalo @ Tennessee - Fairly easy to predict what the Titans will do. They won last week, so they'll lose this week. BILLS win on the back of their defense.
Baltimore @ Pittsburgh - RAVENS bounce back from a horrific defensive showing and win.
NY Jets @ Philadelphia - Will Darnold come back this week? It won't matter since he won't be at full strength. EAGLES win.
Chicago vs Oakland - Another London game for Jon Gruden, who famously hates travelling. BEARS are playing too well defensively to lose here.
Minnesota @ NY Giants - VIKINGS are pissed and will look to take out their fury on rookie Daniel Jones. Watch out for the returning Golden Tate, however.
Tampa Bay @ New Orleans - I love what the Bucs are doing but the SAINTS have an awesome defensive line, and they're at home.
Atlanta @ Houston - For some reason, I keep picking the FALCONS even when it's looking increasingly dumb to do so.
Arizona @ Cincinnati - Toilet Bowl! CARDINALS are playing better than Cincy overall.
Jacksonville @ Carolina - Minshew Mania stumbles in Charlotte. Curtis Samuel will have a breakout game for the PANTHERS.
Denver @ LA Chargers - It'd be just like the Chargers to lose at home against a team as downtrodden and banged up as the BRONCOS.
Green Bay @ Dallas - People laugh at the Cowboys' offense after that game in New Orleans, but they forget that Dallas also have a mighty fine defense. COWBOYS hand the Pack their second loss in a row.
Indianapolis @ Kansas City - Colts are battling too many key injuries right now. Brissett looks very good but he's not good enough to keep up with Mahomes in KC, especially if Hilton is still out. CHIEFS win.
Cleveland @ San Francisco - 49ERS are legit this season, and well-rested after their bye week.
