NFL Football Handicapping
Only Chicago came though for me, as Indianapolis and the New York Jets (what was I thinking there?) failed to cover, while the Chiefs were a push on the line I had. On the plus side, it was another good week straight up. Here are my picks for Week 6 in the NFL. Philadelphia at New Orleans (+3)The way the Eagles have been playing so far this season, I really expected the line to be much larger in Philadelphia's favor. When I saw it was only three points early in the week, I jumped all over it. The Saints may be 4-1, but none of the teams they have beaten (Cleveland, Green Bay, Tampa Bay) even compares to Philadelphia offensively or defensively. Donovan McNabb is off to a killer start and no matter who he has playing receiver for him this season, he still finds the end zone again and again. McNabb will find the end zone easily this week, so take Philadelphia -3. Seattle at St. Louis (+3)This is a battle for first place in the NFC West. After being St. Louis's whipping boy for years, the Seahawks finally returned the favor last year with a pair of wins over the Rams. The Seahawks were off last week, which gave them time to get over their punishing defeat at the hands of the Bears two weeks ago. Matt Hasselbeck and his trio of talented receivers will be ready to take that frustration out on St. Louis. Even without Shaun Alexander, take Seattle -3. Oakland at Denver (-15)Oakland is one of the worst teams in the league, but in the last couple of weeks their offense has finally started to put some points on the board. The Raiders' offense will need to be in top form to score this weekend versus a Broncos' defense that is allowing only 8.5 points per game. The Broncos' offense hasn't exactly been getting to the end zone with regularity this season though (averaging only 12.3 points per game). The Broncos will win this game, but I think the 15-point spread will be difficult to cover with Jake Plummer still struggling to move the ball. Take Oakland +15. Chicago at Arizona (+10)The Chicago Bears are the best team in the NFL right now. Period. The Bears' defense is stifling and with a healthy Rex Grossman at the helm, the offense is scoring in bunches. They scored 40 points versus Buffalo last week. Forty! To put that in perspective, the Bears only scored 260 points in 16 games last season. (For the mathematically challenged, that comes out to only 16.3 points per game.) The Cardinals' defense is a joke and we'll see just how good Matt Leinart is this week against the smothering Bears' D. Trust me, he's not that good yet. Take Chicago -10.
