We’ve been terrible picking prime time games this year. Just terrible. So here’s to keeping it simple this week.
Eagles are good, Texans are bad.
Eagles are a 14 point favourite tonight on the road tonight.
Fly, Eagles Fly
The pick is in… EAGLES!!

NFL 2022 – Week 8 Picks
A couple of lines out there that have us wondering what we’re missing. But hey! We’re wrong all the time and every weekend has games that leave you saying “What you talking about Willis?!?!”. Regardless, I think this is the first time in Aaron Rodgers’ career that he is a double digit underdog, but I think this one is deserved. Bills are coming off of a bye week and are at home, while the Packers seemed lost against the lackluster Washington Commanders last week.
Neither New York team are getting much love from the sportsbooks this week. The 6-1 New York Giants are a 3 point underdog in the Pacific Northwest against the Seahawks, while the Jets are a home 2.5 home underdog against the Patriots at home. I think the Sportsbook are predicting Belichik’s reign over the Jets (maybe 14-0 since December 2015 or something crazy like that). Pats will be looking to rebound after an embarrassing performance on Monday night against the Bears.
The Giants on the other hand are travelling West to face the Seahawks. Both teams got lots of love from the talking heads this week as the two pleasant surprise teams of the season. Feels like one is primed for a disappointing performance this week as a result. Can you call it a revenge game for Geno Smith after the Giants cast him aside after his sole season and one start with the Giants? Regardless I think the Ken Walker III will stay hot and run all over the Giants.
Here are this week picks below in bold. Nice little bounce back last week, so let’s keep stacking winning weeks!

Thursday Night BAL @ TB
No doubt Al and Kurt were licking their chops when the schedule came out and Amazon had this game. Fair to say both teams have been fairly pedestrian this season. Bucs have looked bad on both sides of the ball and don’t seem to have any rhythm on offence. Ravens have been up and down, blowing lead and after lead in the second half.
Chris Godwin looks like he can’t get open and Mark Andrews is clearly dealing with an ankle injury that is impacting his play. He gave it a go last week against the Browns but only had two targets and no receptions.
The Bucs are at home and I think they are going to come out desperate with their playoff hopes quite possibly on the line. The Ravens secondary is weak and I think Brady and the Bucs receivers might take advantage and finally start to righting the ship. I’ve been bullish on the Ravens all season and they just keep disappointing against the spread. Injury status for both Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman aren’t great, so Lamar might be primed for an all-time Lamar balls out performance on primetime – running and diving and dancing all over the Bucs defence.
Fun Fact: Tom Brady has a 14-3 record all-time on Thursday Night Football
Picking a desperate Bucs teams as a two-point favourite at home to take advantage of a banged up and sub-par Ravens secondary.
Thursday night record: 2-5
NFL 2022 – Week 7 Picks
So last week was a big old serving of humble pie for just for us, but also the Rodgers and Brady, so we’re in good company having an off week.
We’re primed and ready to have a bounce back week against the spread. Here are this weeks picks in bold below:
- CLE@BAL -6.5
- TB@CAR +13.0
- ATL@CIN -6.5
- DET@DAL -6.5
- NYG@JAX +3.0

Week 6 Record: 4-10
Season Record: 48-45-1
NFL 2022 – Week 6 Picks
Lots of good football games this week. Well maybe only two on second thought. Chiefs and Bills and Cowboys and Eagles. We had another winning week last week, posting a 10-6 record against the spread. Let’s keep stacking winning weeks together.
Lots of games that are hard to handicap this week. Are the Packers going to bounce back in America at Lambeau? Who has the worst defence, Seattle or Cardinals? Feels like whichever team has the ball last might end up winning that one. Are the Chiefs going to find anyone else to catch balls from Mahomes this week? Can the Rams find a second option to Cooper Kupp? If not, a 10-point spread seems generous against the Panthers. Gonna fade the Broncos from here on out until Mr. Everything shows some semblance of his former self for multiple games. What’s going in Jacksonville after getting stoned by the Texans last week and blowing a huge lead against the Eagles the week prior?
No idea which teams are good or bad at this point. Just how the league office wants it. Any given Sunday!
Here are the week 6 picks in bold below:
- BAL@NYG +5.5
- CIN@NO +3.0
- JAX@IND -1.5
- MIN@MIA +3.0
- NE@CLE -2.5
- NYJ@GB -7.5
- SF@ATL +4.0
- TB@PIT +10.0

- DAL@PHI -6.5
- DEN@LAC -4.5
Week 5 Record: 10-6
Season Record: 44-35-1
NFL 2022 – Week 5 Picks
That’s what I’m talking about! Belichick was right! You know what kind of squad you have after week 4 and we’ve got a WAGON! A nice little 11-4-1 record against the spread last week to get us trending in the right direction!
Back-to-back Thursday night games that were hard to watch, but for very different reasons. Tua with the ugly concussion (another one this past Thursday too, but this time Hines was ruled out 2 minutes after being taken off the field- coincidence, I think not!) and just bad football this week. Matt Ryan couldn’t stay on his feet and Russell couldn’t stop throwing up on himself. Thought the Broncos hired an assistant specifically to tell the Head Coach what to do at critical junctures of the game. It’s called situational football and I foolishly thought the reason you pay a Head Coach millions of dollars was to make tough calls. No, that’s silly! Regardless, Broncos still really stink at situational football. Kick the field goal! A totally over correction for that week 1 debacle in Seattle.
Anyways, lots of great games in week 5 and looking to carry the momentum forward and cash a pile more tickets on Sunday! Week 5 picks are highlighted in bold below:
- NYG@GB -8.0
- ATL@TB -10.0
- CHI@MIN -7.5
