Los Angeles Chargers (1-3) at New Orleans Saints (2-2) This is one of three games that will be played Monday/Tuesday this week and all three games are impossible to make a call on right now because the status of so many players is unknown. In the other two games (Bills/Titans…

Las Vegas Raiders (2-2) at Kansas City Chiefs (4-0) The Raiders got some early hype after their 2-0 start, including a nationally televised win over the Saints week 2, but they barely beat the Panthers week 1 and their win over the Saints wasn’t as impressive as it seemed, as…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins at San Francisco 49ers: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
Miami Dolphins (1-3) at San Francisco 49ers (2-2) The 49ers are a tough team to evaluate. They’re just 2-2, but they rank 4th in the NFL with a +5.32% first down rate differential, with their two wins coming in blowout fashion and their two losses being close. That’s more or…

Los Angeles Rams (3-1) at Washington Mascots (1-3) The mascot-less team from Washington got off to a good start to their season with a win over the Eagles, but the Eagles were missing arguably their more valuable player in Lane Johnson in that game and have shown themselves to be…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals at New York Jets: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
Arizona Cardinals (2-2) at New York Jets (0-4) I’m torn on this one. On one hand, the Jets have been inarguably the worst team in the league through 4 games, as they rank dead last by a wide margin in point differential (-66, next closest is -49) and first down…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (1-3) at Houston Texans (0-4) The Texans are really in a mess of a situation. They gave complete control of their roster and complete control of the offense to head coach Bill O’Brien, who was essentially functioning as his own general manager and offensive coordinator, despite never proving…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Cleveland Browns: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (3-1) at Cleveland Browns (3-1) Coming into the season, I expected the Colts to be one of the best teams in the league and, even with a disappointing performance week 1 in Jacksonville, the Colts still rank 3rd in the NFL in first down rate differential at +6.71%.…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
Carolina Panthers (2-2) at Atlanta Falcons (0-4) I typically like to go against significant week-to-week line movements because they tend to be overreactions to a single week of play and that is the case here, with the Panthers going from 3.5-point underdogs in this game in Atlanta on the early…

Continue reading →: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
New York Giants (0-4) at Dallas Cowboys (1-3) The Cowboys are a tough team to figure out. On one hand, they could easily be 0-4 if the Falcons had recovered an onside kick and they’ve been destroyed by injuries, with a list of long-term unavailable players that they were counting…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens: 2020 Week 5 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (1-2-1) at Baltimore Ravens (3-1) The Bengals picked up their first win of the season last week and I think they’re an underrated team going forward. They were better than their 2-14 record last season, ranking 24th in first down rate differential, and I expected them to be…
