NFL Football Picks

A battle of young inexperienced quarterbacks do meet up in Week 9 when C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans play Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers as short -3 road favorites. Get Jay’s Hou/Car pick here!

The Green Bay Packers have been one of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this season. Decimated by injuries, they just can’t seem to get on track. The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a huge win on Monday night football against the 49ers. Can they keep it rolling in Week 8 at Lambeau Field against the Pack? Get Loot’s Min/GB pick here!

The New England Patriots come to FedEx Field for a Sunday matchup with the Washington Redskins in week five NFL action. The Patriots are sitting pretty at 4-0, following a struggle in Buffalo where they ground out a 16-10 win, failing to cover the spread for the second straight game. Do they get back on the winning side of the line this week?

Helter Skelter takes effect Sunday as crazy variables galore are in play here including the Raiders winning at Indy last week, Chase Daniel in for the injured Mitchell Trubisky and the game being played in London. Grab a crumpet and consider wagering on the under as games across the pond are generally lower scoring in nature.

A couple of road Week 4 NFL road winners meet up in Carolina for what should be a close game. Something to consider is despite the Panthers grabbing wins with Kyle Allen, he’s still inexperienced and the Jags have given indication that they still have a good defense. The same could be said for Jags QB Gardner Minshew, but he sure has looked polished for a young player. Either way, it’s a lunch money bet at most in this one.

The good Vikings got beaten up by the Bears last week and the bad Giants crushed the Redskins. In a game where the point spread would have been made at around -9.5 a couple weeks ago, it’s instead -4.5 for the Vikings Week 5 at MetLife Stadium where the benching of Eli Manning and emergence of “Danny Dimes” has given new life to a team that hasn’t seen respect in many moons.

Confidence in the Rams has seemingly plummeted after they lost by fifteen points as a nine point home favorite to Tampa Bay Sunday. The opening line for this TNF matchup opened with the Rams as -2 favorites and within 24 hours has moved four points to Seattle -2.

Two 0-3 teams meet up in a less-than-thrilling Monday Night Football matchup at Heinz Field. Both teams have sustained key injuries (Bengals – A.J. Green + half their OL, Steelers – Ben Roethlisberger) and it shows! Making a strong pick on this game is as questionable as a coin flip.

Both defenses have shone in the early going. The Vikings have allowed 47 points in its three games this season while the Bears have given up just 39 making the “Under the total line” appetizing. The public has a mixed take on the total. Will Jay bite on the under?

The Arizona Cardinals can’t stop the run and can’t stop the pass. Can Seattle rebound off a home loss to the Saints in which they seemingly did everything wrong? Loot has the cover!
