  • RestEasy's Week 6 NFL picks

    Well went 8-2 last week. Yippie. 20-12-1 on the season thus far with my 2 worst weeks in weeks 1&2.
    So, here we go.

    Carolina +4.5
    Did you know atlanta is 29th against the pass (in passing yards given up)? Did you know Carolina is 4th offensively in the same category? Did you know that Carolina while being 1-4 have not lost by more than 7 despite playing IN green bay and IN chicago (how'd that turn out for the falcons?). By the rush carolina has a bad rushing defense but atlanta has an equally bad rushing offense but we all know for carolina this is the Cam Newton show this year so the battle will eventually go to the air. Atlanta may try to keep it on the ground and grind it out but it'll go to the air. Matt Ryan at home is insane... but it's a different year. Carolina keeps it close may eek out a W but at the least keeps it close.

    Dallas +6.5
    If you can buy to 7 that'd be better but this will do. New England has the worst pass defense in the NFL. The worst. Dallas is 4th offensively. Dallas is coming off a bye. THey are getting Miles Austin back (hasn't played since san fran) and Dez Bryant back (who's been limited). THey are 1st against the run. 1st. This will be an air battle and dallas can score enough to keep it within 7.

    Dallas NE OVER 55.5
    Air battle.

    Baltimore -9
    Now, I grabbed this at -7.5 and I like that line a lot better. Still, when baltimore has won this year they have done so by well over 9. Houston has no Andre Johnson. No Mario Williams. Offense and Defense they lost star players and now go on the road to balitmore. That place will be rocking. Houston lost by 5 against oakland in houston and yes Schaub threw well.... against the 29th defense against the pass. Now he faces the 9th defense coming off BYE and away....Baltimore wins this by 9+

    Washington +3
    That's a good line cause this should be close and could come down to a field goal. Philly is 30th against the run. That's bad. Washington has HIghtower (banged up) Torain and Helu to run the ball. Rex Grossman isn't great but he can manage the game and make some good plays to either moss or gaffney. Coming off bye they've had 2 weeks to gameplan and rest up.
    Then there is philly. They are 1st in rushing going against the 8th rushing D. Vick tore them a new one last year and that'll still be sore but it also gave washington a lot of tape to watch and a lot to get huffed up about. This is the must win for philly. I said it last week buffalo was just a game THIS is divisional, NFC and would put them at 1-5. They should win but I think it'll be hard fought.

    Washington/Philly Under 47
    Good D on washington will slow the eagles. OK O in washington will help keep this low scoring. Ground game should be moving a lot in this game especially when skins have the ball.

    Oakland -6.5
    At home against an ok cleveland team after Al Davis has died. Yes, al davis motivation was used last week but this is the home game that will surely have more emotional impact. Cleveland hasn't shown much. Destroyed by the titans last week. Beat miami by 1 and a Collins led indy. Oakland has shown to be impressive this year and will handle this business.

    Det -4
    At home in the dome they win. San Fran hasn't always traveled well. Alex Smith is an at home QB most of the time and here he'd have to be spot on. Sure they beat philly (1-4) and cinci (3-2) but not detroit. First road loss coming by 4+.

    Indy @ Cincy Over 41
    For each team only cincy had a game under 41 pts once. Every other game for each team has gone over 41. Over 41 on the Sunny cincinatti day.

    New Orleans -4
    Freeman is having issues working his magic. The 9'ers shut him down and the saints will use that intel appropriately. Also I'll apply the same reasoning as last week. Tampa has won 3 games. Indy, Minny and atlanta. That's a combined 3-12 record. They don't look as great now eh? Saints playing well continue to do so.

    There you have it. 10 picks for week 6.

    I'm adding a shocker.
    Indy +6
    Painter is getting better as the weeks go on. 2 heartbreaking losses sure. They came out firing last week and fell silent 2nd half. They learn, grow and have manning giving advice and adjustments. Bengals dont tend to blow people out. I even put a small moneyline bet down. They keep it within 6.

    Will be looking at the evening game as the day progresses. Now, it's time to make breakfast and watch some football.

      2-4
      Went against my gut on the washington pick letting my bias for philly get in the way. That's why I try to stay away from Giants game despite liking the over in buffalo/nyg which would have just covered.

      But that's the way it goes. Hoping for a good afternoon.
