Week Five

SCOREBOARD

Week Five Record: 7-6-1

Overall Record (ATS): 32-34-2

Schmear of the Week: 4-1

Bagels in the Basket: +5

1st and Ten

• Arizona stands alone as the NFL's undefeated team and added 3-time Pro Bowl TE Zach Ertz from Philly.
• However, the Cardinals head coach and GM test positive for COVID; be well!

2nd and Long

• The Cheifs are stuck at two wins.
• Rich Bisaccia named Raiders interim coach.
• Three second-place teams with losing records.

No Gain

• Jacksonville and Detroit remain without a win.
• Week Six is no time for a BYE, but the Jets can really use it.
• Geno Smith is back in the saddle again.
• PITT JuJu Smith-Schuster out for the season.

PUNT!

• The fact John Gruden deservingly got fired (quit) is his own folly.  He deserves what he got.  However, the conspiracy involving the NFL leaking emails and their reluctance to pry into Washington's business is another.

WEEK SIX
Friday Line ~ MGM/NYP

Rams -9 1/2 GIANTS

The Giants have too much to overcome.  Rams are coming off extra rest.  I can see Aaron Darnold wreaking havoc in the Giant backfield.

WIN; 38-11 Rams

Dolphins -3 Jaguars *LONDON

The Jags have lost twenty in a row ... Tua is back in the lineup.  Odds say Jacksonville is bound to win, but I just can't go there - not with the head coach nonsense going on there.

Loss; 23-20 Jaguars o.t.

Packers -5 Bears

The Packers are giving up a lot of points, something the Bears have trouble scoring.  I respect the Bears' defense, but it's not gonna be enough against the Packers.

WIN; 24-14 Packers

Bengals -3 1/2 LIONS

The Lions will make this closer than I would like.  The Bengals are just more dynamic, whereas the Lions are playing yawn-inducing football.

WIN; 34-11 Bengals

COLTS -10 Texans

It's high time the Colts got their crap together.  Houston is the right team for the Colts to finally get on track.

WIN; 31-3 Colts

Chiefs -7 WASHINGTON

This is gonna be one ugly game.  But whereas the Chiefs seem to know what they're doing, Washington appears utterly clueless.

WIN; 31-13 Chiefs

PANTHERS +1 Vikings

Dalvin Cook keeps running on a bad ankle.  I like the Panthers defense stifling what run game the Vikings do generate.  Christian McCaffrey is still out, so this is up to Sam Darnold.

Loss; 34-28 Vikings o.t.

Chargers +2 1/2 RAVENS

I like the Chargers' defense to slow down the Ravens, who aren't running the ball as well as they used to.  If the Bolts end the game with a field goal ... win!

Loss; 34-6 Ravens

Cardinals +3 BROWNS

Kyler Murray vs. Baker Mayfield ... The Cardinals are flying high while the Browns are dealing with bumps, bruises, and injuries.

WIN; 37-14 Cardinals

BRONCOS -3 1/2 Raiders

I like the matchups and the Broncos at home.  They play the Raiders tough.

Loss; 34-24 Raiders

Cowboys -3 1/2 PATRIOTS

This is a week when the Cowboys remind everyone the Patriots are a rebuilding team.

WIN; 35-29 Cowboys

STEELERS -5 Seahawks

JuJu Smith-Schuster is out, but their defense is still good.  I just can't get myself to rally 'round Geno Smith and Seattle's suspect defense.

Loss; 23-20 Steelers

Schmear of the Week

Colts -10
