For Jack of a Better Name

Late night early morning picks. After 10-4 both straight up and against the spread I'm ready to continue the momentum. Especially after the correct Seahawks pick. Dallas Cowboys at Atlanta Falcons -3.5 Classic loser leaves town match for two teams that aren't great. I'm taking the Falcons to win but the Cowboys to cover because neither of these teams is that good. Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens -3.5 My survivor pool pick this week because I tried to not preserve any good teams in good matchups. AJ Green is out and Lamar Jackson is reportedly going to start. That is all I need Ravens to win and cover. Carolina Panthers at Detroit Lions +3.5 Carolina is visiting a Detroit team that looks half alive. I'm ready for another productive Christian McCaffrey and Cam Newton game. Shady MVP candidate in Super Cam. Panthers win and cover Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts -2.5 This division is going to beat up on each other. The only reason I'm taking In...

Packers visiting the Seahawks is a classic loser leaves town matchup. Neither of these teams is playing too well but they both have an X-factor they need to use. For the Packers, it is Aaron Jones and if they don't use him right they will lose. While for the Seahawks it is also a running back in Chris Carson. If they are both used effectively this will be an entertaining game. It will be anyway but the two running backs add a lot. In this game, I'm taking the Seahawks to win and cover. The Packers are going to have too many bad memories from the 2014 NFC Championship game and they are 0-4 on the road this season. The home crowd will make a difference and the 12th man help lead to a victory.

This game is going to be bad. I'm not watching but, I'm taking the Giants to win and therefore cover ending the thought of Nick Mullens being the greatest QB ever.

This is a really intriguing matchup for two mediocre teams. They are both in similar situations. Clearly chasing to make the playoffs and desperate for some momentum. Monday night is where you’re going to get it. Mariota vs Prescott is even. The Titans defense is better. But they have to face Ezekiel Elliott and newly acquired Amari Cooper. If Chris Johnson (CJ2K) was walking through that door I would like the Titans but he’s not so I will take the Cowboys to win. However, Jason ‘Clapper’ Garrett will not be able to cover the spread.  

Welcome to Week 9 Atlanta Falcons at Washington -1.5 Washington win and cover Chicago Bears at Buffalo Bills +8.5 Bears win Bills cover Kansas City at Cleveland Browns +8.5 Chiefs win Browns cover Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings -4.5 Vikings win Lions cover New York Jets at Miami Dolphins -3.5 Dolphins win Jets cover Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens -2.5 Steelers win and cover Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Carolina Panthers -6.5 Panthers win and cover Houston Texans at Denver Broncos -2.5 Texans win and cover Los Angeles Chargers at Seattle Seahawks -1.5 Chargers win and cover Los Angeles Rams at New Orleans Saints -1.5 Saints win Rams cover Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots -5.5 Patriots win Packers cover

Tonight is one of the worst Thursday Night Football matchups we might ever see. The only matchup I could imagine being worse is Jaguars and Cardinals in color rush. The only thing intriguing about this matchup is who will be more awful. There is nothing I really want to say about the bay teams. The quarterback matchup of Jimmy GQ and Derek Carr could've been interesting but now CJ Beathard who's name I just learned to spell is not a starting QB in this league. Somehow I'm coming to the conclusion that the 49ers will win this game. I think Kyle Shanahan will outcoach Chucky Gruden. Take the 49ers to win and cover. My Record Straight- 78-41 Spread- 64-57 UPDATE: I didn't want to change what I wrote so I will put in the disclaimer now that Nick Mullens is starting that I will take the Raiders to win and cover.
