The Shield: Week 7 Three and OUT

Some weeks the favorites roar......


1. Tennessee @ LA Chargers (-6.5) [45]

Pick: LA Chargers to COVER -6.5

The Titans have all sorts of issues right now, issues that the Chargers are going to exploit, especially at "home". (Although their home-field advantage is not the greatest). Mariota got sacked ELEVEN times last week. The Chargers have a good pass-rush.  Uh oh.

2. Minnesota (-3) @ NY Jets [47]

Pick: Minnesota to COVER -3

I've been waiting for the Vikings to have a break out game, and I think this is the slot.  The Jets have been uneven, but the Vikings defense should make things difficult for Darnold and I'm thinking Minnesota offense gets on track and they win by more than a touchdown.

3. Houston @ Jacksonville (-4.5) [42.5]

Pick: Jacksonville to COVER -4.5

I'm going back to my old strategy of fading the Houston Texans.  Yes, Jacksonville looked like crap last week but the Texans didn't look much better, and have needed fortuitous coaching calls by the other side to win all three of their games.  Considering I'm picking Tennessee to lose this game will be for the lead in the worst division in football, the AFC South.


Games in which I have a rooting interest:

LA Rams (-9.5) @ San Francisco [52.5]

The Rams are undefeated and looking like the best team in the NFL right now. San Fran overachieved against the Packers, but the Rams are much, much better than that.  It's at home and this team is trying hard, but covering here would be a huge win.
