Regular Season Week 6
Week 5 was a great week for me. I went 12-4 in my picks, I won in fantasy, and the NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS are 4-1. Byes start this week. The Lions, Titans, Texans, and Raiders all have the week off. Before we get to week 6 let’s recap week 5.
Colts @ Broncos 12-9 OT
This was the worst game ever. It was terrible to watch. It was a combination of turnovers, sloppiness, and three and outs. I’m not going to lie, I went to bed in the fourth quarter and was surprised that it had gone into overtime. I have nothing more to report on this.
NY Giants @ Packers 27-22
I set my alarm so that I wouldn’t miss any of this game and I’m glad I did. You guys, the Giants beat the Packers! We are still undefeated in London! The G-Men were major underdogs, coming into the game with a quarterback with a sprained ankle, basically no wide receivers, playing against the highest paid quarterback in the NFL. No worries though. The defense held Green Bay to just 2 points in the second half while NY scored 17 unanswered points. The Packers had a chance to comeback after the Giants' sacrificial safety but the defense sacked Rodgers, who fumbled as the clock ran out to give the Giants the win. The Giants now have as many wins this season as they did the entire season last year.
Steelers @ Bills 3-38
I’d like to thank Gabe Davis for his incredible performance for my fantasy team. His 3 catches, 171 yards, and his 2 touchdowns gave me 32 points! The Bills made a spectacle out of the Steelers. Josh Allen was unstoppable for the Bills offense. He had 4 passing touchdowns and led the team in rushing as well.
Chargers @ Browns 30-28
Well the Chargers didn’t stop Nick Chubb, who had 2 rushing touchdowns and over 130 rushing yards but they did stop the rest of the Browns enough to win the game, just barely.
Texans @ Jaguars 13-6
The Jags have been playing so well that I thought this would be a sure win for them. Obviously I was wrong. It was a game of field goals until late in the 4th when the Texans finally got a touchdown and the W, their first win of the season.
Bears @ Vikings 22-29
Dalvin Cook had a brilliant game! Finally! Cook had 18 carries, for 94 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns. I guess I won’t drop him from my fantasy team. Woot!
Lions @ Patriots 0-29
The Patriots wore their throwback uniforms and it must have been really good luck for them as they shut out the Lions at home. Bailey Zappe started again for the Patriots and led the team to victory.
Seahawks @ Saints 32-39
You know who I don’t like? Taysom Hill. You know why? Because he took away all of Alvin Kamara’s touchdowns. Kamara is supposed to be the face of the Saints not Hill. That’s really all I have to say about that.
Dolphins @ NY Jets 17-40
Teddy Bridgewater was knocked out of the game on the Dolphins first offensive play of the game ending in a safety and 2 points for the Jets. NY’s defense took advantage of going up against third string quarterback Skylar Thomson, while their offense ran all over the Dolphins defense. All of the Jets 5 touchdowns were rushing.
Falcons @ Buccaneers 15-21
Tom Brady hasn’t lost 3 consecutive games in 20 years and he wasn’t about to go down 3 again. Brady had over 350 passing yards and a touchdown in this win over the Falcons. Leonard Fournette accounted for the receiving touchdown and also had a rushing touchdown.
Titans @ Commanders 21-17
It was a Carson Wentz interception at the end of the game that gave the Titans the win, and I’m not mad about it.
49ers @ Panthers 37-15
The Panthers fired their head coach, Matt Rhule, after this loss. They’ve also lost Baker Mayfield for a couple of weeks as he was seen in a walking boot after the game. It was an ugly game but I am glad that I picked up the 49ers defense in fantasy!
Eagles @ Cardinals 20-17
The Eagles are still the only undefeated team in the NFL. That’s all I have to say about that.
Cowboys @ Rams 22-10
Sometimes I don’t like when I get the pick right. I picked the Cowboys to win, even though I don’t like them, but it was somewhat selfish. As you know my opponent had Cooper Kupp and the Cowboys defense held him to just one touchdown, which is pretty good, for the Cowboys.
Bengals @ Ravens 17-19
Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was the MVP of this game, with 4 field goals he sealed the win for Baltimore. Even Bengals kicker Evan McPherson was impressed with Tucker's foot.
Raiders @ Chiefs 29-30
The Raiders had a chance to send the game into overtime but instead of kicking the extra point, head coach Josh McDaniels had his team go for the 2 point conversion and Josh Jacobs got stuffed right before the goal line. I was just happy that Darren Waller, my opponent’s tight end, who was my tight end last year, left the game early without scoring any fantasy points. He was projected to get 10 points. I won by 10 points. So thank you Waller for being the same tight end as you were last year.
WEEK 6
Thursday, October 12th
Commanders (1-4) @ Bears (2-3) (8:15pm PRIME VIDEO)
When in doubt go with the home team. I’m picking the Bears to win.
Sunday, October 16th
49ers (3-2) @ Falcons (2-3) (1pm FOX)
I’m sticking with the 49ers defense in fantasy therefore I’m expecting them to play well. I’m picking the 49ers to win this game.
Jaguars (2-3) @ Colts (2-2-1) (1pm CBS)
The Colts were shut out the last time they played the Jags. I think things will be different this time. I think the Colts will actually score points this time around. I am still picking the Jags to win the game though.
Patriots (2-3) @ Browns (2-3) (1pm CBS)
The Browns have only won one home game this season and the Patriots have only won one away game this season. I’m picking the Browns to win this game.
NY Jets (3-2) @ Packers (3-2) (1pm CBS)
Wouldn’t it be great if the Packers lost to NY teams in back to back weeks? I don’t think it's going to happen but it would be great if it did. I’m picking the Packers to win this game. Aaron Rodgers is said to have a thumb injury but I don’t think it’ll keep him out of the game.
Vikings (4-1) @ Dolphins (3-2) (1pm FOX)
The Dolphins are so banged up right now I don’t think they’d win the battle of getting out of a wet paper bag. I’m picking the Vikings to win this game.
Bengals (2-3) @ Saints (2-3) (1pm CBS)
Oh, I don’t know. Both teams are better than they are actually playing. Two seasons ago I would have totally picked the Saints and not blinked an eye. This season, I hesitate to pick either team to actually win a game. I guess, for old times sake, I’m going to pick the Saints and hope and pray that it’s Kamara not Hill that sees the end zone multiple times.
Ravens (3-2) @ NY Giants (4-1) (1pm CBS)
Call me crazy, but I’m picking the Giants to win this game. Hear me out. Our defensive coordinator, Wink Martindale, was with the Ravens from 2012-20. He knows the system. Also, Daboll is pretty gutsy and will come up with some off the wall plays. Our players are getting healthy and ready for this week’s challenge. GO G-MEN!!!!
Buccaneers (3-2) @ Steelers (1-4) (1pm FOX)
I’m picking the Bucs to win this game. The Steelers are definitely not the contender they were in years past.
Panthers (1-4) @ Rams (2-3) (4:05pm FOX)
The Panthers really have no hope. I’m picking the Rams to win this game.
Cardinals (2-3) @ Seahawks (2-3) (4:05pm FOX)
I really think that the Seahawks have gotten tremendously lucky in their wins this season while the Cardinals have lost some close ones. I’m picking the Cardinals to win this matchup.
Bills (4-1) @ Chiefs (4-1) (4:25pm CBS)
The Chiefs are the underdogs at home for the first time in years. And rightfully so in my opinion. I’m picking the Bills to win this game and I’d like another stellar Gabe Davis performance please and thank you.
Cowboys (4-1) @ Eagles (5-0) (8:20pm NBC)
Really, I’d just like this game to end in a tie. If not a tie then a Cowboys win. But I’m picking the Eagles to win this game and hoping for a tie…
Monday, October 17th
Broncos (2-3) @ Chargers (3-2) (8:15pm ESPN/ABC)
Oh. Yay. Another Broncos game in primetime. Wait. Russell Wilson was supposed to make the Broncos better, he hasn’t even made them watchable. I’m picking the Chargers to win this game.
GO G-MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!
