Philip Rivers was predictably horrid against the Ravens last week, but he’ll be…

The list of running backs available could be short with Adam Jones questionable with a calf injury and AJ Dillon testing positive for…

Daniel Jones is decent and the offense has weapons, Barkley returning next year will help. They defense is looking pretty good. Philly nearly came back and beat Baltimore on Sunday. WR Travis Fulgram is a real threat and the offense should…

Who needs practice? Not the Titans as they crushed the Buffalo Bills 42-16 after numerous Covid interruptions. Ryan Tannehill looks like a top QB, A. J. Brown has been reintegrated into the offense and Derrek Henry is stiff-arming people into next week. Houston isn’t good. The game play could improve under Romeo Crenne, but surviving the…

NFL Picks 2020: Week 3

-Originally published 9/24/20- Week 3 NFL PicksWe have a more balance slated this week with five afternoon games and eight early games. The afternoon slate isn’t rewarding however, with Jets, Panthers, and Broncos all playing games in the late afternoon window and and in good shape to be a combined 0-9 by the time Sunday evening rolls around. The early slate has a slew of great games. Bears/Falcons, Rams/Bills, Raiders/Patriots, Texans/Steelers, and possibly Bengals/Eagles should all be good watches.Week 1:…

NFL Picks 2020: Week 2

-Originally published 9/18/20- Week 1 Record 9-7 Ok Week 1 showing. Projected bottom feeders (by me and pretty much everyone) Washington and Jacksonville both pulled upsets. The Chargers survived a chip-shot field goal, the Cowboys didn’t survive a bad pass-interference call and the Cardinals, Bears, and Raiders scored and hung on in the last couple minutes. Thursday, September 17 Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) @ Cleveland Browns (0-1) Both the Bengals and Browns will have the opportunity to get their offenses on…
