Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Buffalo Bills (3-1) at Cincinnati Bengals (1-3) The Bills aren’t getting a lot of attention, but they’ve been a pleasant surprise so far. They’re 3-1 with wins over Denver and Atlanta and their only loss was in Carolina in a game they had a chance to win at the end.…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Carolina Panthers (3-1) at Detroit Lions (3-1) The Panthers entered the season on my underrated list, but they’ve had bad injury luck thus far. They’ve lost tight end Greg Olsen and center Ryan Kalil, two of their most important offensive players, for an extended period of time, while Cam Newton…

Los Angeles Chargers (0-4) at New York Giants (0-4) The Chargers are 0-4 on the season and are now 9-27 over the past 3 seasons, but they’ve been ridiculously unlucky. They are just 4-19 in games decided by a touchdown or less over that time period and a whopping 10…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans at Miami Dolphins: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Tennessee Titans (2-2) at Miami Dolphins (1-2) The Titans had a week from hell last week, as they lost 57-14 in Houston in a game in which they lost quarterback Marcus Mariota with an injury. It was an eerily similar game to their 38-17 loss in Jacksonville in week 16…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers at Indianapolis Colts: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
San Francisco 49ers (0-4) at Indianapolis Colts (1-3) These are two of the worst teams in the league, but I think the 49ers are a little worse, at least as long as talented rookie middle linebacker Reuben Foster remains out with injury. The Colts, meanwhile, are actually getting healthier, with…

Continue reading →: New York Jets at Cleveland Browns: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
New York Jets (2-2) at Cleveland Browns (0-4) Going into the season, the Jets were seen as one of the worst teams in recent memory and a legitimate candidate to go 0-16, after completely gutting their roster this off-season. However, they’ve managed to win two games in a row, so…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) at Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) The Jaguars lost last week in overtime to the Jets, but they were likely not 100% focused for the Jets the week after their London game, so it wasn’t that concerning of a performance. They’re still 2-2 and they’re still a capable opponent.…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals at Philadelphia Eagles: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Arizona Cardinals (2-2) at Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) The Cardinals finished the 2015 season #1 in first down rate differential when they finished 13-3 and then they finished #1 in that metric again in 2016, despite going 7-8-1, as they could have easily won 10-12 games if not for numerous special…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens at Oakland Raiders: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Baltimore Ravens (2-2) at Oakland Raiders (2-2) The big injury that gets attention in this game is the back injury to Derek Carr, who will be replaced by backup EJ Manuel at least this week, as he recovers from a small fracture. However, the Raiders are basically healthy other than…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks at Los Angeles Rams: 2017 Week 5 NFL Pick
Seattle Seahawks (2-2) at Los Angeles Rams (3-1) The Seahawks were favored by 3 points on the early line last week, but this line has since shifted a full 4.5 points to favor the Rams by 1.5 points. Typically I love fading significant week to week line movements like that…
