Game: GB@TB (currently at OU 54)
TREND: Tampa Bay overs vs NFC
Aaron Rodgers and that Green Bay offense is playing like a well-oiled machine that looks like it can’t be stopped. Coming off a bye, they now get their main guy healthy, Davante Adams, paired with the emergence of star running back Aaron Jones. Combine this with the fact that after Week 1 when Tampa Bay gave up 34 points to New Orleans, the Bucs have gone against the likes of Teddy Bridgewater, Jeff Driskell, rookie Justin Herbert, and Nick Foles. The stats will say that Tampa Bay’s defense is stout, but that might change against Aaron Rodgers and Co., especially with star DL Vita Vea out for the year.
Tom Brady’s epic failure of not knowing what down it was last week has gone viral on the web and that can only mean one thing: watch out for this man. Nobody likes being shit on, and when ones considered the GOAT, one must respond appropriately. Look out for a classic Tom Brady vs Aaron Rodgers shootout during America’s Game of The Week broadcasted by the already legendary announcer Tony Romo.
Pick: Over 54
Game: WAS@NYG (currently at NYG -2.5)
TREND: WAS vs NFC East, after loss
Kyle Allen stepped in last week and couldn’t even finish the game, leaving Alex Smith to come in and practically not change a thing. It’s great to see the guy out there playing, but the Washington Football Team clearly has a problem at the most important position a football team has. New York comes into this game as a rare winless favorite in Week 6. The offense got going last week for New York, albeit vs. a lackluster Dallas defense.
The offense picked up Devonta Freeman and has all of their other weapons healthy and ready. Joe Judge comes from the University of Alabama and the New England Patriots so he knows a big game when he sees one, and this is certainly a big game for New York if they have any hopes of making the playoffs in the putrid NFC East. Both of these teams have new coaches and drafted QB’s in the first round last year. One is starting and the other is benched. These coaches expect to play each other a lot in the coming years, and securing that first win can go a long way.
Pick: NYG -2.5
Game: ATL@MIN (currently at MIN -3.5)
TREND: MIN at home, after a loss
A big storyline going into this game was the availability of Dalvin Cook, and him officially being ruled out creates a void for Minnesota. Alexander Mattison will get the first start of his young career and look to build on a 100-yard game last week against Seattle. Playing against a suspect Atlanta pass defense (31st in YPG) should help Kirk Cousins control the tempo of the game and take shots down field.
The Atlanta Falcons are as desperate as ever to get a win after Dan Quinn was fired due to an 0-5 start, but Minnesota has that same desperation with only having one win on the year themselves. Suffering a tough, heroic loss last week to Russell Wilson should have this team ready to get a dub before heading into the bye week. Once Atlanta starts getting down, a collapse is imminent which runs well with the given spread.
Pick: MIN -3.5
Game: LA@SF (currently at LA -3.5)
TREND: LAR on the road as the favorite vs. a NFC opponent under .500
Talk about a Super Bowl hangover, huh? San Francisco just hasn’t looked like themselves this year after suffering a barrage of injuries. Jimmy Garoppolo came back from injury last week and ended up right back on the bench after an abysmal performance. Jimmy is expected to get the starting nod again this week, but on a very short leash nonetheless. Quarterback problems in Week 6 are the last thing a team needs, and going against a Los Angeles Rams team who is firing on all cylinders makes it all that much worse.
Jared Goff is in his bag and behind him is a running back committee that can compete with the best in the league. Cam Akers is back healthy, Darrell Henderson has emerged as a three-down back if needed, and Malcolm Brown can punch it in with the best of them. Coach McVay is dialing it up this year and knows the team is talented enough to make a serious run in the playoffs. Division games like these are huge to look back on, and Los Angeles simply can’t afford to lose if they have serious Super Bowl aspirations.
Pick: LAR -3.5
Game: CIN@IND (currently at OU 46.5)
TREND: CIN overs away, vs. opponents <.500
Indianapolis plays lights out defense at home compared to playing on the road, allowing almost double the amount of passing touchdowns last year (19 away vs. 10 home). Joe Burrow has looked the part so far this year, but clearly doesn’t have the offensive line to succeed against great defenses as seen last week (lost 27-3 to BAL). Cincinnati got Geno Atkins back from injury which should surely help Cincy contain Johnathan Taylor and a solid overall Colts rushing attack.
Phillip Rivers has looked average this year and really doesn’t have the supporting cast to look much better. Indianapolis will look to continue its solid defensive home performances while Cincinnati should keep themselves in the game for the most part, but both teams lack explosiveness which could turn this into a defensive battle with many punts.
Play: Under 46.5
