Back-to-back disappointing 4-10 performances. We weren’t helped much losing two games by half a point each. We’re looking at you Bears and Browns!

After an action packaged schedule on Thursday to mark American Thanksgiving, not many must watch games this weekend. Chiefs are big favourites against an injury riddled Rams squad, while some of the early season powerhouses are starting to drift back to the pack a bit. Not sure what to make of the Ravens these days. They keep winning but it isn’t pretty. Jets are looking for a spark after benching QB1 and we think they’ll get it against the Bears without Fields under centre.

Also interested to see how both the teams at the played in Munich two weeks ago start off their second halves of the season after a bye week. Did the Seahawks peak too early? San Fran looks like the class of the NFC West, so might be tough to hold the top spot down the stretch. And what to make of the Bucs? TB12 has looked better after finalizing his divorce and the defense seems to be improving. NFC South is dreadful so suspect a divisional title for the Bucs is still a very attainable goal.

Anyways, here are this week’s picks below in bold. Here we go!

• DEN@CAR +1.0
• TB@CLE +3.5
• BAL@JAX +3.5
• HOU@MIA -14.0
• CHI@NYJ -7.0
• CIN@TEN +1.0
• ATL@WAS -3.5
• LAC@ARZ +2.5

Wow! NFL has provided a full slate of games on Thursday. Really snuck up on us after all the excitement this week with the start of the World Cup.

Some may call me a push over, but after racking up three pushes last week, I can assure you I felt like pushing someone over Sunday night. The Falcons and the Rams were both looking like wins for us, until it all faded to black in the blink of an eye.

Anyways, the NFL is hosting its first ever game in Germany this weekend and we’re concerned something may have got lost in translation. The Bucs, we repeat the Bucs, are a three point favourite against Kenneth Walker Jr The Third and the Seahawks. Are oddsmaker forgetting that TB12 and company looked dreadful for the first 59 minutes last week against the Rams or the fact that their offense has sputtered all season? One drive seems to have cured all that ails the mighty Buccaneers from Tampa Bay. Not buying it or the arrival of Cade “Baby Gronk” Otton. Romo seemed to have that nickname in the holster ready to fire if even one catch was made by Otton last week. Pump the brakes!

Josh Allen has a wonky elbow so hard to justify the -6.5 line favouring the Vikings. Having said that, Kurt D Cousins has a tendency to disappoint in big games. Might not always be his fault, but does Cousins have a signature moment or game in his career? Also intrigued to see how the Packers bounce back after a three INT performance from Mr. Rodgers against a stout Dallas defence. The Packers as a 4-point home underdog seems a little too forgiving. Dallas is primed to beat the wheels off the Packers at home as Dak continues to work off the rust and round into form for the stretch drive.

Here are the picks for week 10 below highlighted in bold:

• SEA@TB (-2.5)
• MIN@BUF (-6.5)
• DET@CHI (-2.5)
• JAX@KC (-9.0)
• CLE@MIA (-3.5)
• HOU@NYG (-4.5)
• NO@PIT (+1.0)
• DEN@TEN (-2.5)
• IND@LV (-4.0)
• DAL@GB (+4.0)
• ARZ@LAR (-2.5)
• LAC@SF (-7.5)
• WAS@PHI (-11.0)

Week 9 Record: 5-5-3
