NFL Football Picks

How will the New England Patriots react after blowing a shot at overtime with last week’s lateral debacle that was returned for a touchdown? The Bengals had a weird game as well, down big, coming back to win at Tampa Bay. Get Jay’s Cin/NE prediction here!

The Falcons looked okay last week against the Saints before falling by three for their third straight loss by one score. They head to Baltimore in Week 16 to take on a Ravens team that is having a difficult time scoring points. Rookie QB Ridder is going to have to improve big time this week, or Atlanta may be all out to hit double digits. Get Loot’s analysis and predicted spread winner.

As one who watched both the Bengals and Ravens games last week, it’s not tough to envision a bigger mismatch. The Bungles offensive line play is so horrible that I honestly believe that there’s a shot they may not even score a touchdown this week. I’m wagering heavily on this one!

Carolina continues to lean heavily on Christian McCaffrey which makes one wonder when this guy is going to break down. He’s seeing an unprecedented amount of snaps/touches this season. We may see a bit more passing in this one with Tampa’s run D being fairly strong and their secondary full of weak links. The OVER is worth a look here. Loot gives his take on who he thinks will cover the spread as well.

The Browns looked like absolute garbage on MNF at San Fran. Now they have to travel back home and play on a short week vs. a Seahawks team that’s coming off along week as they played last Thursday night. It’s tough to gauge a team that looked so good in destroying Baltimore and then getting snuffed by the Niners. Loot gives his take on the game, but the best bet may be to pass until we figure out who these guys are.

The Pats host the Giants on Thursday night in Week 6 NFL action. The Giants have been hard hit by injuries especially at the Running Back and Linebacker positions. New England has been dealing with some injuries of their own, but their defense has carried them. The big question isn’t whether the Pats will win, it is by how much and they’ll have to win big to get by the -17 number.

If I had to pick a team to win the Super Bowl this season, it’d be the Dallas Cowboys. They’re more than just a rushing team these days. The Pack’s defense is vulnerable to the run and have their hands more than full with Zeke Elliott this weekend. Bad spot for GB here!

The public is all over the Saints after they handed the Cowboys their first loss on the season last week in New Orleans. This week they’ll take on a Bucs team that shocked the Rams last week exploding for 55 points! Can Tampa Bay get the best of New Orleans? Get NFL handicapper Bob’s interesting take on the game and his pick against the spread.

The Bengals already without WR A.J. Green have lost their No. 2 WR promising John Ross for the season. That makes it the Tyler show with WR Tyler Boyd (27 catches) and TE Tyler Eifert (11) as the key options in the passing game. Additionally this team’s run defense is very questionable making a big day for the Cards backfield likely.

The Falcons have won just one of their four games at that came at home knocking off the Eagles by four points. They hit the road to take on the Texans in Week 5 action. Get our capper’s point spread pick.
