My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Cowboys –2 at CHARGERS — After getting embarrassed last week I think the Cowboys come out swinging ✅ The Cowboys almost gave this away but eked it out in the end

Seahawks +3 at BENGALS — Seattle coming off a bye and I don’t believe in the Bengals yet. ❌ Seattle gave this game away

Raheem Mostert over 73.5 rushing yards, Mostert anytime TD, Tyreek Hill over 86.5 receiving yards +400 — I expect a lot of offense from the Dolphins his week ✅ This played out like I thought it would

49ers, Eagles, DOLPHINS, Vikings moneyline parley +180 — I haven’t hit a single moneyline parley yet but who’s losing? ❌ I think I’m done with moneyline parleys

49ers cover the spread (–10), game over 36.5 +220 No Watson means the 49ers are going to score a lot of points ❌ A terrible game by the 49ers

Last week: 0–5

This week: 2–3

Season to date: 8–18

My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Texans +1.5 at FALCONS — The Texans are legit and we should beat this Falcons team. ❌ That was a very winnable game.

Ravens -4.5 at STEELERS — The Steelers got crushed last week and I believe in this Ravens team. ❌ Another game that should’ve gone the other way.

CARDINALS moneyline over the Bengals +136 — I don’t think this Bengals team will be win until Burrow gets healthy, which won’t happen until their bye week. ❌ Burrows back?

Chiefs, Ravens, DOLPHINS moneyline parley +158 — Another free money bet. Who’s going to lose? ❌ Sigh

LIONS moneyline & Goff over 242.5 passing yards +130 - I expect a lot from Goff this game. ❌ Goff ended up with 236 passing yards

Last week: 1-4

This week: 0-5

Season to date: 6-15

My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Steelers -2.5 at TEXANS — The Texans played well last week but might trot out 3rd string OLs which I think the Steelers will take advantage of. ❌ Go Texans!

Chiefs -9 at JETS — The Jets won’t score more than 10 points and the Chiefs will get to around 24, simple as that. ❌ Chiefs play down to their competition, bad bet

JAGUARS -3 vs. Falcons — The Prince is back at home and I expect him to play well given his performance last week. The fact that the Jags play so many London games seems unfair. ✅ This played out like I thought it would

Chiefs, 49ERS, Bengals moneyline parley +133 — Another free money bet. Who’s going to lose? ❌ What is going on with the Bengals?

Chargers over 26.5 points & Joshua Palmer over 44.5 receiving yards +212 - This is a little flier that I stole my friend JD. Nothing else to say about this. ❌ So close!

Last week: 2-3

This week: 1-4

Season to date: 6-10

My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Dolphins -6 vs. Broncos — The Dolphins keep looking good and Russ might get benched soon. ✅ wish I bet multiple units on this.

Titans over BROWNS moneyline +124 — The Titans are a well run team and the Browns just lost their best player for the year and Watson looks as bad as ever. ❌ Ouch, Watson looked as bad as I thought but that defense is incredible.

CHIEFS, Cowboys, SEAHAWKS, Bills moneyline parley +158 — I like all of these teams to win and I didn’t like any other opportunities available this week. ❌ This was free money but then the Cowboys Cowboys’ed.

Zay Flowers anytime TD +175 - The Colts defense is terrible and Lamar is starting to cook. ❌ This was just a silly bet.

Isiah Pacheco, Tyreek Hill anytime TD parley +358 - Pacheco hasn’t scored a TD all season and I suspect that will change against the terrible Bears. Tyreek is chasing records. I like them both to score this weekend. ✅ This made up for that terrible Cowboys game

Last week: 2-1

This week: 2-3

Season to date: 5-6

My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Dolphins -3 at PATRIOTS — The Dolphins looked as good as I thought they would last week and I don’t believe in the Patriots. ✅ The final score doesn’t tell the whole story, this played out like I thought it would.

Packers +1.5 at FALCONS — Jordan Love might be legit and I know Desmond Ridder isn’t. ✅ Not exactly what I thought but I’ll take it.

Giants -4 at CARDNIALS — The Giants are better than they looked last week and the Cardinals are going 0-17. ❌ A massive comeback only to come up short, figures.

Last week: 1-2

This week: 2-1

Season to date: 3-3

My pick: listed first. Home team: CAPS. Post-game comments, if any, in italics.

Dolphins +3 at CHARGERS — I think this Dolphins team is going to be really good. ✅ Like I said.

SEAHAWKS -4.5 vs. Rams — I suspect the Seahawks to build off of their success last season and the Rams to tank this season. ❌ I’m still not sure what happened to the Seahawks.

VIKINGS -4 vs. Bucs — I’m buying into the Quarterbacks hype. ❌ Wow that was bad.

Season to date: 1-2
