2017 NFL Week 6 Picks Against The Spread

Rather than Thursday's in the Loo, it's time for NFL Football picks in the toilet.... putting that content down loading time to good use?

RESULTS Week 5 Picks - Our pick is the team with the number, winners highlighted. A push is a win.


NE -4 19 @ 14 TB

LAC +4 27 @ 22 NYG
BUF +3.5 16 @ 20 CIN Road dog LOCK; Under 39.5 LOCK
NYJ +2.5 17 @ 14 CLE Under 40 is the LOCK
JAX 30 @ 9 PIT -7
TEN +1.5 10 @ 16 MIA
SF +2.5 23 @ 26 IND
ARZ +6.5 7 @ 34 PHI
CAR +3 27 @ 24 DET
SEA 16 @ 10 LAR PK LOCK
BAL 30 @ 17 OAK PK LOCK
GB +3 35 @ 31 DAL
KC 42 @ 34 HOU +2
MIN 20 @ 17 CHI +3.5

How did we do?
Overall, as gravity pulled us down the drain we sucked at 6-8 for another week wallowing in mediocrity. 
Screwed by half point on BUF, SF, could have been 8-6...


That's life, that's what all the bookies say, you're ridin high pre kickoff, shot down by late Sunday.... 


Week 1: 13-2 = 87% - Locks 4-0 = 100%

Week 2: 10-6 = 63% - Locks 5-1 =  83%
Week 3:  8-8 =  50% - Locks 2-4 =  33%
Week 4:  8-8 =  50% - Locks 5-0 = 100%
Week 5:  6-8 =  43% - Locks 2-3 =  40%

YTD:    45-32 = 58% - Locks 18-8 = 69%


Still #1 on the web (cherry picking games) and despite another horrible week we are tied for #2 on the web (picking all games ATS). Won't last as gravitation to the mean has taken over.


Week 6 Picks - Our pick is the team with the number. 


UPDATE: 10/15 8AM EST - SF +10 to +11, LAC +3.5 to +6, with Mariota TEN -5.5 
UPDATE: 10/16 6AM EST - Mariota is playing, line is -7.5 to -8.5, NFL Pickwatch has it starting at -3 WTH?? IND +8.5 puts a different spin on it. MNF road dogs, especially div rivals are usually good bets. We will stick with our early line pick TEN -5.5.

BYE: BUF, CIN, DAL, SEA

OFF BYES: ATL, DEN, NO, WAS

Below TNF pick, remainder to come.  As always, I reserve the right to take the advance or opening line, and make changes well in advance of the SUNDAY 13:00 EST kickoffs.

  
Last week, 10 road teams won, 7 of those were dogs. Chefs 6-0, how about 0-6? Still perfect SF, CLE, NYG. Last week, deja vu as both SF and NYG were last second victims. This week all four teams remain perfect, we think. 

PHI @ CAR -3 B2B road W's @ NE, DET. #3D vs O, #29PassD looks past Panteras to Skins?

CLE +12 @ HOU  Merci-lus, Watt-less Texans host perfect Hogan's Stains.
NE @ NYJ +10  Rested TNF Pats fav @ Yets 1-6 ATS. Double digit divisional home dog LOCK
MIA @ ATL -9  Off bye and Buf loss, ATS home fav Falcons 7-17, dome dog Fish 1-3 LOCK
DET +5.5 @ NO Off bye B2B W Aint's ATS home fav 6-13; vs Kats 0-2; Neither has pass D. 
GB @ MIN +4 MNF Vikes, ATS div home dog: 7-1-1, 4-1 vs Pack. Post Big-D let down? 
CHI +7 @ BAL ATS Poes 1-3-1 vs NFC, road dog Chairs 2-7 and MNF short wk. 
SF +11 @ WAS Off bye Skins, 4+pt fav 2-12#28D 9ers 2-7 in EST ATS, look past 9ers to PHI?
LAR +3 @ JAX  LA run D#27; JAX 3W's +11 TO, run O#1, D#31, home vs NFC 1-9 ATS
TB +2.5 @ ARZ Last wk Cards 7-34. Last yr Bucs @ Zona 7-40. TNF Bucs rested revenge.
PIT @ KC -2.5 Rush: KC O#2, Pit D#31, ATS @ Chefs 1-4, last playoff PIT 18 @ KC 16. LOCK
LAC +6 @ OAK Carr? look past to TNF vs Chefs? ATS Bolts post W 2-7; dog @ OAK 4-0.  
NYG @ DEN -6  Off bye Buncos #1D, #3 run game, 0-5 sans wide out Gmen, cheap LOCK
IND @ TEN This game is off the board, so we have set a conditional line for it. Luck-y Dolts 11-0 SU vs Tuxes. No Luck this week. With Mariota TEN -5.5, no Mariota TEN +3.
