Free NFL Picks: Week Six

I feel your pain little fella. The NFL is becoming almost unwatchable.

If it weren't for gambling I don't think anyone could watch an entire Sunday slate of the slop that is called the NFL.

And how in the world does DirecTV make money with their Sunday Ticket?

I would love to know the ratings for the game between the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills this weekend.

Or how about the Jacksonville Jaguars squaring off against the mighty Seattle Seahawks?

Perhaps you were glued to the TV watching the St. Louis Rams continue their quest to 0-16 or the San Francisco 49ers look like frauds against the Atlanta Falcons.

There were three good games this week. First was the Cincinnati Bengals upsetting the Baltimore Ravens, second was the New England Patriots going down on the road to the Denver Broncos game and third came Monday with the New York Jets were exposed by the Miami Dolphins.

Who had all three and was on the right said of all three?

Your most favorite free handicapper in the world of course.

Don't tell me the Cowboys game was good. There is nothing exciting about watching an incredibly average Dallas Cowboys team scratch and claw their way back to victory against a terrible Kansas City Chiefs team.

You can't convince me it was good football in anyway. And if you are entertained by poor tackling, stupid coaching and a bunch of stiffs competing against each other, then you’re a better man than I.

As stated before I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan so I must admit that I hate Dallas. At the same time I will tell you the Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers game was just as pathetic to take in.

The Eagles defense was letting up huge chunks of yardage all day only to get bailed out by poor decisions made by Bucs QB Josh Johnson. The kid looked really good at times, but the pressure got to him every now and then.

Week Five ended with a 5-2 record and my overall record increased to 22-13, which puts me above the magical 60% clip.

The only thing more consistent then my winning weeks is the fact that the NFL continues to give us terrible matchups week in and week out. Next week I will offer a suggestion to Roger Goodell on how to fix this hot mess he serves you every weekend.

My selection appears first, then something witty and insightful followed a complete random guess for a score and then bang...you're payin' off the mortgage or taking the wifey on a nice vacation.

Philadelphia (-14) @ Oakland

Donovan is going to toss the pigskin all over the lot and put up some gaudy numbers once again. The only thing that stinks about this Eagles season is that there is no way to measure this team's identity yet.

All of their wins came against teams that did not have a win when they played them. The trend continues this weekend as well in a big way.

The anticipation is building for this game and I have to wait until 4:00 p.m. to watch it? How in the world can I pass the time?

Philadelphia 42 - Oakland 16

Pittsburgh (-14) vs. Cleveland

I know what I can do before the Eagles game: I can watch this embarrassment.

Okay, here is the prop bet of the week. Which side will record a higher total: Derek Anderson total completions vs. Ben Roethlisberger total touchdown passes?

I know it's intriguing.

Pittsburgh 36 - Cleveland 3

San Diego (-3.5) vs. Denver

I have been all over Denver the past couple weeks and told you there were going to win outright against the Cowboys and Patriots. So please don't tell me I am discrediting this team.

After two emotional wins at home the Broncos have to go on the road to play on Monday Night against a division rival who is coming off a bye.

This is not a good spot for the Broncos at all.

San Diego 24 - Denver 10

Seattle (-3) vs. Arizona

The is the classic game where Arizona gets their doors blown off on the road. Think back to the Jets, Pats or Eagles games from last year.

I know the Seahawks are not in a class of those other teams so I will not chalk up a 40-point blowout. But I can't ignore how bad the Cardinals are on the road.

Seattle 27 - Arizona 10

Tennessee (+9.5) @ New England

I know the Titans stink this year, but these Pats are not right this year either.

The Pats defensive line stinks and that does not bode well for them when they matchup against Tennessee.

I don't care who you face in the NFL. If you give a quarterback enough time he will pick you apart. This applies to stiffs too, even Kerry Collins.

And with a poor defensive line the Titans should be able to run the ball with Chris Johnson.

This line should be around six points, but the linemaker knows everyone wants to think the Pats are going to bounce back so the line is inflated here.

My underdogs having been winning a lot of games outright, so here we go.

Tennessee 27 - New England 21

New York Giants (+3) @ New Orleans

You don't beat the Saints by trying to outscore them. You do it by grinding them out and wearing them down.

I'm sure everyone thinks Eli Manning is going to have to be spectacular to win this game. I think the player to watch out for is Brandon Jacobs.

He can wear down the Saints, allow the Giants to eat up the clock and most importantly: Keep the Saints offense on the sidelines.

New York Giants 24 - New Orleans 16

Baltimore (+3) @ Minnesota

The Ravens run defense got lit up last week relatively speaking. This week Adrian Peterson gets a crack at Ray Lewis and Co.

I think the Ravens limit Peterson's effectiveness and make Minnesota a one-dimensional team.

Brett Favre reminds us of his turnover problems in this one.

Baltimore 27 - Minnesota 23
