Baltimore

I was seriously thinking Pitt. Pickett should play although I’m not sure they aren’t better off giving Trubitsky a shot. It wouldn’t shock me if Pitt turns it around at home but in the end I’ll stick with the majority and the most recent play of both teams.

Houston

Ok. I’m 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 pick’em.

NY Jets

Another pick’em. 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 wasn’t a one off. Potential sub story and extra motivation as Broncos coach Sean Payton brutally dissed former Bronco’s 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 I’m right I will gain on the field and if I’m wrong there’s lots of time yet to recover from a stupid pick.

Dallas

Pure homer pick. I’m making an exception to my golden rule against picking a favourite team. I do think San Fran will win but don’t want any temptation to support them. I’m hoping that this game of the year lives up to it’s billing like last night’s CFL game of the year did.

Las Vegas

Another pick’em basically. Raider QB Garoppolo, a question mark early in the week, has been cleared to play. Devante Adams remains questionable but I’m betting he’ll 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 wouldn’t be completely surprising.

Good luck to all and making my picks will bump this thread so if you haven’t 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 I’m still not sure.
