Thanks to all you hard working pool beavers!
Baltimore
I was seriously thinking Pitt. Pickett should play although Iām not sure they arenāt better off giving Trubitsky a shot. It wouldnāt shock me if Pitt turns it around at home but in the end Iāll stick with the majority and the most recent play of both teams.
Houston
Ok. Iām convinced. CJ Stroud is clearly the best rookie QB in the league so far. Still, Atlanta is improved and at home. To me this is a pickāem.
NY Jets
Another pickāem. My heart says Denver but my head says go with the Jets and their killer defence and the chance that the improved play of Zack White last week wasnāt a one off. Potential sub story and extra motivation as Broncos coach Sean Payton brutally dissed former Broncoās coach and now Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett for the job he did in Denver. Denver is actually a slight favourite.
Minnesota
Upset special. Nothing remarkable about the Viqueens and betting on them is usually good for a sure loss, but KC is struggling even though they mostly win and Minnesota is at home and should be highly motivated to win lest their season slips away. If Iām right I will gain on the field and if Iām wrong thereās lots of time yet to recover from a stupid pick.
Dallas
Pure homer pick. Iām making an exception to my golden rule against picking a favourite team. I do think San Fran will win but donāt want any temptation to support them. Iām hoping that this game of the year lives up to itās billing like last nightās CFL game of the year did.
Las Vegas
Another pickāem basically. Raider QB Garoppolo, a question mark early in the week, has been cleared to play. Devante Adams remains questionable but Iām betting heāll play against his former team and be highly motivated. In close games I will usually favour the home team on national TV. I find the Packers one of the harder teams to figure out so far this year so having a surprising good game wouldnāt be completely surprising.
Good luck to all and making my picks will bump this thread so if you havenāt picked yet please do so.

Can you clarify your pick #4?
Today it occurred to me that maybe you are picking chefs instead of Chiefs but Iām still not sure.
Jon I wasnāt going to say anything, I thought it was just early for me.
the chiefs of course
Tough slate tough crowd here with some hard-earned wins in Week 5
