Sitting here watching the Tribe dominate the Yankees so I may as well get the rest of my picks in... I already took the Pats tonight. Maybe I should surf over and check the score? Anyway, here we go with the rest of the schedule....

New England at Tampa Bay 8:25 pm CBS Raymond James Stadium I took the Pats....

Sunday, Oct 8, 2017

Arizona at Philadelphia 1:00 pm FOX Lincoln Financial Field Not quite ready to jump on the Eagles bandwagon, but 3 - 1 speaks for itself. The Cards have been disappointing. I think they're trending down while the Iggles are trending up. Eagles.

Buffalo at Cincinnati 1:00 pm CBS Paul Brown Stadium Buffalo showed me something by going to Atlanta and winning. There is no way they should lose this game ... but it is a classic trap, coming off a huge road win and playing the hapless though still dangerous Bungles. But let's say the Bills are for real. Bills.

Carolina at Detroit 1:00 pm FOX Ford Field Big win for Carolina last week. Detroit has been very good, losing only to the Falcons. I'm going to ride the Old Georgia Bulldog Matthew Stafford till he shows me otherwise. Lions.

Jacksonville at Pittsburgh 1:00 CBS Heinz Field Jax has won a couple of games and is moving in the right direction. But... the Kneelers at home? Nah. Kneelers.

L.A. Chargers at N.Y. Giants 1:00 pm CBS MetLife Stadium One of these teams has to win right? I suppose the remote possibility of a tie exists but.... Given that the Bolts will be playing at what is essentially 10 AM their time, that may be enough to tip the scales to the G-Men. Giants.

N.Y. Jets at Cleveland 1:00 pm FOX First Energy Stadium I guess my reports of the Jets demise were premature... have they actually won two in a row?! And now the Browns..... As bad as Gang Green is, the Browns are worse and seem incapable of not turning the ball over. Jay - Eee - Tee - Ess JETS JETS JETS!

San Francisco at Indianapolis 1:00 pm FOX Lucas Oil Stadium Two other woebegone squads.... And another West Coast team playing on East Coast time. Who is the Colts quarterback? I don't know. Brian Hoyer I know and if nothing else the Niners have shown they can score. Niners.

Tennessee at Miami 1:00 pm CBS Hard Rock Stadium The Titans... what the heck happened to them in Houston last week? And what is the status of Mariota? But hey, it's only the Phish who were shutout in London last week... by the Saints D. Titans.

Baltimore at Oakland 4:05 pm CBS Oakland Coliseum The only reason I give the Ravens a snowball's chance in hell in this game is because Derek Carr is out. But will that be enough? The last two weeks the Ravens O has been anemic and the D has been pretty questionable too. OTOH, the Raiders have not exactly been setting the world on fire. Improbably and against all odds, the Nevermores win. Ravens.

Seattle at L.A. Rams 4:05 pm CBS Los Angeles Memorial ColiseumLA Rams... another team in the 'are they for real' category (the Bill and the Chiefs also being members). After dominating the Cowboys last week the Bluish Man Group comes to the Colisseum... I like the Lambs here as I think the Seahags are over-rated. Plus I can't stand Michael Bennett. Rams.

Green Bay at Dallas 4:25 pm FOX AT&T Stadium Ah, the marquis match-up! Bendy, what has happened to the thought-to-be-mighty Cowboys? Losses to Denver and to - gasp! - the Rams?! The Pack was dominated by Atlanta but has otherwise been strong (okay, an OT was required to beat Cincinnati...). With all the 'Boys woes and Aaron Rodgers playing to form..... Packers.

Kansas City at Houston 8:30 pm NBC NRG Stadium The only unbeaten team traveling to Houston to take on the Titans and the new wunderkind of the NFL.... Can Watson have another game like last week? Sure. But not against the Chiefs D. KC wins and stays unbeaten. Chiefs.

Minnesota at Chicago 8:30 pm ESPN Soldier Field Minnesota has no Bradford but they still have a very good defense, and Mitchell Trubisky has never taken a regular season snap. That does not bode well for Da Bears. Vikings.

On the 1st Bye and Bye of the season are the cursed Broncos, Falcons, Ain'ts & Deadskins

Cleveland wins!
