NFL 2020 Week 6 Predictions

2020 NFL Week 6 Predictions

Panthers -1.5 over Bears, 20-16

-I guess.

 

Bengals +8 over Colts, 20-26

-I don’t like what I saw for the Bengals over the Ravens. But I didn’t really like what I saw for the Colts last week. Just taking the 8, you know, if the game even happens.

 

Lions -3 over Jags, 27-22

-The Jags are wilting, and the Lions are rested.

 

Vikings -4 over Falcons, 29-17

-I still don’t think the Vikings are completely right. But the Falcons are BAD and I’m not even sure they can score now.

 

Giants -3 over WFT, 26-9

-Is this the Eliminator Pick? Maybe. In all seriousness, the Giants’ offense woke up while the WFT offense is going in reverse.

 

Ravens -7.5 over Eagles, 31-16

-There’s still something not quite right with the Ravens. But there’s A LOT not quite right with the Eagles.

 

Browns +4 over Steelers, 26-24

-Browns are 4-1 and might be good. I’m not sure the Steelers are as good as their record…and I still want to see Ben throw downfield consistently to someone not named Chase Claypool.

 

Titans -3.5 over Texans, 31-21

-I really like the Titans and how good they’ve been has been a little forgotten because of the COVID mess.

 

Patriots -8.5 over Broncos, 27-13

-This assumes Cam plays and likely Gilmore and Lock as well. Patriots are just a much better team with a future. So, my pick remains largely unchanged from last week.

 

Fins -9 over Jets, 24-10

-THIS is my Eliminator Pick. Fins still aren’t a great team, but they are well coached, fight hard, and try new things each week. The Jets have none of these qualities.

 

Packers -1 over Bucs, 31-28

-I think the Bucs are a pretty decent team, and most of the advanced stats agree with that assertion. However, the Packers are coming off a bye, getting Adams back, and Aaron Rodgers is on his revenge tour.

 

Rams -3 over 49ers, 31-13

-I’m not sure I would’ve used this in Eliminator even if I still had the Rams as an option. But, this fairly high confidence for me. The Rams are just operating much better and they still haven’t truly had a massive breakout game. It could happen this week versus a 49ers team in rough shape. PS: check out the 49ers schedule the next seven weeks. Internally, they’re probably thinking Wild Card rather than Division now. In truth, they might be staring at 2-10 and an interestingly high draft pick.

 

Chiefs -4.5 over Bills, 30-19

-As good as the Bills are playing, they can’t play as they did versus the Titans and think they’re going to win this game. Especially since the Chiefs are coming off a loss. However, this is an interesting statement game for both teams.

 

Cards -1 over Cowboys, 34-26

-I’m grabbing THIS before it gets to 3. I’d like to see more from the Arizona offense and I’m intellectually curious about how much of Dak’s production Andy Dalton can replicate.
