It was a rough Week 5 for us, as our NFL picks went 4-7 to run our yearly record on EatWatchPlay to 31-24. Let’s get into the 11 questions below and see how we do in Week 6. Enjoy the NFL action and good luck to all!
NFL Week 6 Contest: The winner gets 100 PLAYs, 2nd gets 50, 3rd gets 35, and anyone in the top 20% gets at least 5.
Colts vs. Titans. Who wins?
I hate to trust Will Levis or Mason Rudolph in this one, but it’s the only way I can look with the Colts’ injuries continuing to mount by the day. Both Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor are listed as questionable once again this week, which definitely hurts the Indy offense. Give me the Titans coming off their bye!
Colts +2
Titans +2
Chargers @ Broncos. Who wins?
I normally love betting on home underdogs in division games, but I just can’t do it in this spot. Denver has one heck of a defense, but I trust Jim Harbaugh to have the Chargers ready to roll coming off their bye. It also doesn’t hurt that Justin Herbert is finally close to 100% health.
Chargers +2
Broncos +3
Steelers @ Raiders. Who wins?
I want no part of Las Vegas in this spot, as they recently announced that Gardner Minshew will be benched in favor of Aidan O’Connell. The Steelers lost a tough one to Dallas last week on Sunday Night Football, but I’m expecting their defense to cause all sorts of havoc in this one.
Steelers +2
Raiders +3
Lions at Cowboys. Who wins?
Here’s another good opportunity to back an elite team coming off a bye. Detroit should be well-rested and Ben Johnson shouldn’t have any trouble scheming up a good game plan against Dallas. Speaking of the Cowboys, they have 4 defensive linemen on the injury report. That’ll be a problem against this Lions offense!
Lions +2
Cowboys +3
Bucs at Saints. Who wins?
This is a fantastic spot to back Tampa Bay, even with all of the disruption from Hurricane Milton. The Bucs have a nice rest advantage since they played on Thursday and the Saints didn’t play until Monday. I also think Todd Bowles will make Spencer Rattler’s debut a rough one.
Bucs +2
Saints +3
Cardinals at Packers. Who wins?
Arizona is riding high off its shocking upset of San Fran, but I think they come back to earth a bit against Green Bay. The Packers have a well-balanced offense and Christian Watson was also back at practice this week. Give me the Pack to take this one quite easily!
Cardinals +4
Packers +2
Falcons at Panthers. Who Wins?
I was tempted to pick an upset here, but I just cannot trust the Carolina defense. On the flip side, Kirk Cousins is coming off one of his best games as a pro. He looks more comfortable in the offense and I expect Bijan Robinson to finally bounce back after a couple of subpar performances.
Panthers +5
Falcons +2
Pick a player to score a touchdown:
Sometimes chalk is the only way to play these types of questions! I can’t trust the Browns offense in any way, shape, or form, so Ford is out. Also, Hill and Benson are both backups. Kamara is the only logical choice from this group, even though the Saints will be starting a rookie QB.
Alvin Kamara (+1)
Jerome Ford (+2)
Justice Hill (+3)
Trey Benson (+4)
None of These (+2)
Which QB throws for the most passing yards?
Welp, I might as well jump on the Jayden Daniels hype train! The former Heisman winner has looked fantastic ever since his phenomenal performance on Monday Night Football a few weeks back. Murray and Jackson are great QBs, but Daniels will be slinging it early and often against Baltimore.
Jayden Daniels (+2)
Kyler Murray (+2)
Lamar Jackson (+2)
Which of these players will have the most receiving yards?
McBride and Kraft are both projected to have better games than Andrews, but I don’t mind taking a stab with the salty old veteran in this spot. The Ravens should have no problem moving the ball at will against a bad Commanders defense. Look for Lamar to find Andrews over the middle on several occasions.
Mark Andrews (+4)
Trey McBride (+2)
Tucker Kraft (+2)
