Dr. P’s Week 6 NFL Picks

Texans +5 over Bengals

I’ve been trying to think of a nickname for the Bengals all week…got it…the “Cardiac Cats”.  I think Cincy wins another close one.
Fantasy Alert: Deep sleeper pick: Chris Henry

Lions +14 over Packers

The inflated spread is due to an injured Megatron, but I think the Lions will still be able to move the ball and keep it close against the Pack’s horrid pass defense.
Fantasy Alert:  Greg Jennings has to have a big game soon

Rams +10 over Jags

I can’t seem to figure this Jacksonville team out especially after last weeks humiliating loss.  At least one Jag scored last weekend.
Fantasy Alert: Steven Jackson gets his first TD.

Vikings –3 over Ravens

I think the Vikes are for real now that they have a balanced offense.  They should beat a good Ravens team at home.
Fantasy Alert: Minnesota has a good D but they do give up yards on the ground, keep Ray Rice in your lineup

Saints –3 over Giants

I bet ESPN wishes they had this matchup for MNF.  The Giants wins have come against teams that are a combined 6-19.  I don’t see them staying undefeated in the Superdome.
Fantasy Alert: Shockey will get his revenge on the Giants

Steelers –14 over Browns

Pittsburgh is rolling right now. Blowout at home.
Fantasy Alert: Heath Miller continues his solid season

Chiefs +6.5 over Redskins

The Redskins will find a way to relinquish another victory despite playing another winless team.
Fantasy Alert: Larry Johnson gets rolling this week… Nah, just kidding.

Eagles –14.5 over Raiders

Antonio Pierce compared the Giants/Raiders week 5 game to a scrimmage.  Now it’s Philly’s turn.

Titans +9.5 over Patriots

I refuse to believe the Titans are as bad as their record.  I think they keep it close at NE.
Fantasy Alert: Big game for Welker

Jets –10 over Bills

The Bills lost to a winless Browns team with a quarterback that completed 11% of his passes.

Falcons –3 over Bears

Interesting game between two hot teams.  I’ll take Atlanta at home.
Fantasy Alert: Tony Gonzalez shines Sunday night.

Chargers – 4 over Broncos

Philip Rivers will start to turn this season around just like he’s done the past few seasons after a slow start.  McDaniels loses his first game at San Diego.
Fantasy Alert: Sproles is due for a big game
