Week 7 Predictions

by

Week 7 is here…already!?!?
Holy crapola that just breezed by.
There are only 2 undefeated teams-with one of them looking like that they might be able to go all season. (Hint: The Patriots)

So who wins in Week 7?
Well our pundit Wade is fresh off a winning week and is ready to make his predictions.

Texans (4-2) vs (-1) Colts (3-2) +47.5
The Colts are coming off a bye week, while the Texans are coming off a strong victory against the Chiefs.
The Colts have one of the best O-Lines in league with a D to match.
Deshaun Watson is going to struggle and be chased, so hopefully he can make a few deep ball connections.
Colts are rested-& should win easily.
Colts Win.

(-2) Vikings (4-2) vs Lions (2-2-1) +44
The Lions were robbed last week in Lambeau, while the Vikings are high on their own supply after a home win.
Stefan Diggs seems to be placated after 2 deep balls, and Kirk Cousins is looking to silence his critics.
But is this the game to do it?
Doubtful.
The Lions will be angry after that tough loss, and motivated by the home dome crowd.
Hockenson should have a big day, as will Kerryon Johnson.
Lions to win.

(-3) LA Rams (3-3) vs Falcons (1-5) +54.5
Will the real Jared Goff please stand up?
He can’t. Because his O-line sucks.
Matt Ryan continues to toss loads of yards, but his D continues to let him down.
Will he be able to rally the troops at home?
Nope.
The Rams are ready to win after too many losses.
The Falcons are about to be humbled again/
Rams win easily.

(2-4) Chargers vs (-2) Titans (2-4) +40.5
Marcus Mariota is on the outs, and Ryan Tannehill is in!
What has happened to the Tennessee Titans?
They just can’t seem to get the gang together.
Funny that the Chargers are going through the exact same thing.
Except they seem to be in freefall. Continuous falling.
Titans will win at home.

(5-1) Saints vs (-3) Bears (3-2) +38
The Bears are fresh off a spanking from the the Raiders and a weak off.
The Saints continue to thrive without QB Drew Brees.
Teddy Bridgewater seems to get them through, but it’s really Sean Payton who seems to be out coaching the opposition.
This will not be his week as the Bears are at home, and looking for win #4.
Bears win.

TNF-Chiefs vs Broncos

by

Ruh roh ‘Raggy, the Chiefs have lost 2 in a row, will they lose again?
Let’s jump in the Mystery Machine & figure out how this game is going to hurt the Chiefs.

The Chiefs have shown their weaknesses, & the heat they brought last year is now more of a simmer.
His ankle looks to be weak, and his O-line has been replaced to the point they don’t have the full ability to protect him.
Remember when he would juke, junk, and then left side toss a ball for a gain of 8?
That doesn’t happen anymore.
Austerity is here.

The Broncos are at home, which only matters because of the thin air, that is also packed with weed smoke.
(most of the crowd are on edibles)
But, the Broncos can defend at home, and their D looks much improved and focused, with Von Miller packing on the pressure.
Win this game, and the Broncos are in the hunt.
Lose it, and Denver might start looking to sell the parts.

Denver needs to run the ball.
The Chiefs have struggled here, and Phillip Lindsay should tear through the Chiefs D like a Japanese wall.

Denver has the aggression and home stance, and the Chiefs just lost at home 4 days earlier.
Will their new QB rally them to victory?
Probably not.
The Chiefs should take an early lead, but the second half will be all horsey.
Watch the Broncos tighten the D, switch more to the running game, and check down each drive to punts.

Chiefs might win, but the Broncos should cover.

Wade’s Week 6

by

Woohoo! Another winning week for me, as Week 6 paid off in a bounty of picks-much like the Canadian Thanksgiving I was celebrating.
Let’s take a look at some of my winning picks (& a few stinkers).

Panthers v Bucs
This London game was a bit of a slow death ride for the Bucs, as Jameis Winston couldn’t even hold onto the ball. I was confident that the Bucs would be able to handle the cats like they did in Week 2, but sadly Jameis couldn’t hit the floor if he was black out drunk.
A sad loss to start the week.

Texans vs Chiefs
Was Mahomes injured? Would the D be able to contain Deshaun Watson? Nope. I knew that the Texans were too tough for the struggling Chiefs and this pick paid off huge.

Eagles vs Vikings
Kirk Cousins at home at 1pm. If he didn’t win this one, he would need to start thinking of his future. Luckily Stefon Diggs showed up huge with massive TDs and fantasy points.
The NFC North is tough baby!

49ers vs Rams
The Rams O-line is a joke, which is why I knew that the 49ers were going to baste the Rams. A huge win to take San Fran to undefeated. Can they hang on?

Cowboys vs Jets
I doubted that ‘dem boyz would be able to hold 8 points on the struggling Jets, but boy did New York really make a game out of this. Nothing like seeing the look on Cowboys fans who were shell shocked.

Steelers vs Chargers
The Chargers were favoured by 4? What? Easy line to pick with Pittsburgh struggling to gain wins, and the Chargers struggling to find fans. Pittsburgh took a well deserved win here.

Who will I pick this week?

See you Sunday.

Lions vs Packers

by

Who likes garbage?
Nobody except NFL referees, as they tossed garbage around the field in the name of penalties.

This was an atrocious day for refereeing in the NFL and they should either be shamed, blamed, benched or fired.
Having ref’d a few high school games in my day, even I would walk off the field if I was dinged for a ‘too many men on the field’ call.

The Detroit Lions feel robbed, and rightly so.
The officiating in the NFL is getting worse, how does this happen?
How do we have more scrutiny on the game and in their ears, and they continue to make horrible and dishonest calls.

Either they’re too dumb, or they’re on the take.
When you’re making $200,000 a year, your eyes and your ears should be on form for the game, but not these guys.

Someone needs to start a ledger of which refs continually screw up, and then trash them.

It’s really starting to ruin the game, and someone has to do something.

Now the Packers are 5-1. Way to go refs!
