Regular Season Week 6
We are
heading into week 6 and the Rams and Chiefs are still undefeated. I am 2-3 in
my league; it was a tough loss this past week. The Giants play the Eagles
tonight so at least if the Giants lose tonight it won’t ruin my weekend.
I went 8-7 on my picks, ouch. It’s been such a strange season so far. I
hope my picks, my fantasy team, and the Giants get much better and quickly!
Let’s
recap week five.
Colts @
Patriots 24-38
The
Pats clobbered the Colts, just like we knew they would and Tom Brady reached
500 touchdown passes which was also inevitable.
Titans
@ Bills 12-13
I know
Bills fans are happy, but, come on! Whenever I need the Bills to lose a game
they figure out how to play… It’s happened twice this year… Yeah, both of their
wins were my fantasy losses, and, of course, it came on a game winning field
goal as time expired.
Dolphins
@ Bengals 17-27
The
Bengals win again. They are one of those teams that seem to have it together
until just before the playoffs. Then they crumble under the pressure.
Ravens
@ Browns 9-12 OT
This
was the third time this season that the Browns played in overtime. They’ve
almost played an entire game in just OTs. They came out on top with their
second win of the season. It had been over 1,000 days since the Browns had won
on a Sunday. Rookie Greg Joseph’s field goal made the win in overtime.
Packers
@ Lions 23-31
Aaron
Rodgers did not have a good first half but then figured out how to throw the
ball in the second half. The damage had already been done and the unlikely
Lions came out with the win.
Jaguars
@ Chiefs 14-30
Mahomes
finally threw not one but two interceptions but still came out victorious over
the Jags. As it turns out the Chiefs actually have a defense too, picking off
Bortles 4 times and recovering a fumble.
Broncos
@ Jets 16-34
I did
not do well on my picks this week. But really, who thought the Jets would win
this game? I sure didn’t and they clobbered the Broncos. To make matters worse
I left Robby Anderson on the bench with 123 yards and two touchdowns.
Falcons
@ Steelers 17-41
Speaking
of wrong picks, I sure did get this one wrong too. The Steelers finally showed
up to play a game of football.
NY
Giants @ Panthers 31-33
I feel
like the Giants are the only team who actually have a good chance to win the
game until their opponent makes a career long field goal as time expires... Way
to go Gano. In other news OBJ is talking smack about Manning and the Giants
released Ereck Flowers.
Raiders
@ Chargers 10-26
The
Raiders are arguably the worst team in the NFL and they’ve got Jon Gruden for 9
more years. Yikes. This is the second time for Marshawn Lynch that it was 1st
and goal on the one yard line and the QB threw an interception instead of
handing it off to beast mode…
Vikings
@ Eagles 23-21
I’m
glad the Vikings won, I just wish that Cousins wouldn’t have thrown to Theilen
as much, maybe I could have won in fantasy too.
Cardinals
@ 49ers 28-18
Now
that the Cardinals have changed QBs they look like they are on the up and up.
Rookie Josh Rosen isn’t too shabby.
Rams @
Seahawks 33-31
The
Rams lost a couple of wide receivers to concussions during the first half of
this game, but because they have Todd Gurley of course they came out on top.
Cowboys
@ Texans 16-19 OT
My
opponent in fantasy had the Texans defense and a big lead and I had DeAndre
Hopkins. I knew at the conclusion of this game that I had lost for the week
though it was nice to see the Cowboys lose too.
Redskins
@ Saints 19-43
Drew
Brees broke Peyton Manning’s all-time record of passing yards during this
annihilation of the Redskins. It was almost like the Redskins played passively
for Brees to get the record. Of course the record was broken on a 62-yard
touchdown pass. There was a short celebration and then back to work. Mark
Ingram, back from suspension, also had a stellar game, rushing for a couple of
touchdowns.
WEEK 6
Thursday,
October 11th
Eagles
[2-3] @ NY Giants [1-4] (8:20pm FOX/NFLN/Amazon Prime Video/Twitch)
Long
sigh. With a short week and what seems to be schism in the Giants locker room
between OBJ and Manning this is sure to be a GREAT game… That’s my
sarcastic font. The Giants are hosting division rival Philadelphia on
Thursday night and both teams really could use a win. I am really really hoping
that the Giants win this game. I am going to pick them to lose only so I won’t
be even more disappointed by getting the pick wrong… Come on GMEN!!!
Sunday,
October 14th
Chargers [3-2] @ Browns [2-2-1] (1pm CBS)
I totally expect this game to go into overtime in true
Browns fashion. I’m going to pick the Chargers to win.
Steelers
[2-2-1] @ Bengals [4-1] (1pm CBS)
I’m
going to pick the Bengals to win this game, though this could be the weekend
that the old Bengals and old Steelers show up. The Steelers usually have the
NFC North owned but now the Bengals are sitting at that top spot.
Buccaneers
[2-2] @ Falcons [1-4] (1pm FOX)
I’m
picking the Falcons to win, because they have to have more than one win in a
season.
Seahawks
[2-3] @ Raiders [1-4] (1pm FOX)
I’m
picking the Seahawks to win, though it wouldn’t surprise me if the Raiders won.
Actually, it would surprise me if the Raiders won.
Bears
[3-1] @ Dolphins [3-2] (1pm FOX)
The
Bears are coming off their bye so they should be refreshed and ready to play.
I’m picking the Bears to win.
Cardinals
[1-4] @ Vikings [2-2-1] (1pm FOX)
I’m
picking the Vikings to win. I need Kirk Cousins to have a really big game. Both
teams are coming off big wins but the Vikings are playing at home and could
really use the home field advantage.
Colts
[1-4] @ Jets [2-3] (1pm CBS)
I’m
picking the Jets to win. They snapped their 3 game losing streak last week and
I hope they can continue this week. The Colts need more than just Luck to get a
win this week.
Panthers
[3-1] @ Redskins [2-2] (1pm FOX)
I’m
picking the Panthers to win. The Panthers have yet to win on the road this
season, maybe this will be the week in which they do
Bills
[2-3] @ Texans [2-3] (1pm CBS)
Both
teams are pretty evenly matched, maybe it’ll end in a tie. I’m picking the
Texans to win, so now the Bills will probably win.
Rams
[5-0] @ Broncos [2-3] (4:05pm FOX)
I’m
picking the Rams to win. Even though two of their wide receivers are
questionable they still have Todd Gurley.
Jaguars
[3-2] @ Cowboys [2-3] (4:25pm CBS)
I’m
rooting for and picking the Jags to win. It’s like Dallas plays with two
completely different teams; a decent one and a high school team. I wonder which
Dallas will show up to this game.
Ravens
[3-2] @ Titans [3-2] (4:25pm CBS)
I really
need to Titans to play stellar defense. I am picking Tennessee to win this
game. The Titans seem to do much better at home and the Ravens have already
lost twice on the road. Fingers crossed.
Chiefs
[5-0] @ Patriots [3-2] (8:20pm NBC)
I am
picking the Pats and rooting for the Chiefs of course. Tom Brady could be
the only quarterback to have 200 regular season wins if the Pats win this game.
I hope the Chiefs delay his record.
Monday,
October 15th
49ers [1-4] @ Packers [2-2-1] (8:15pm ESPN)
I’m picking the Packers to win this game; they haven’t lost
yet this year at home.
BYES:
Lions, Saints
GO
GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
for the edit Eric!
