NFL Picks - Week 6

Week 5 was another terrible week for my picks, and I compounded it by picking the wrong underdogs. I was 8-6 in Week 5 picking winners, which makes me 42-34 on the season.

My favorite team managed to look tremendous - the Chargers beat Denver 41-3 and it wasn't really that close. Offense, Defense, Special Teams. All good. No sacks allowed, long passes completed, long runs blocked and executed, the defense stopped the run, and two turnovers were taken. Teams are still quick passing to negate the pass rush. I'm wondering now if I'm really the unlucky charm for the team - they win when I don't watch, and lose when I do watch. The team is 2-0 when I don't watch, and 0-3 when I do watch.

This week, the Bolts face arch-enemy Oakland Raiders. I just can't pick the Raiders... I'm going to predict the game will be Chargers 27, Raiders 17.

Here are my week 6 picks (winners, home team denoted with an H):

San Diego (2-3) (H) over Oakland (2-2)
Chicago (2-3) (H) over Minnesota (1-3)
Baltimore (3-2) (H) over St. Louis (-05)
Philadelphia (1-3) over NY Jets (1-4) (H)
Cleveland (2-3) (H) over Miami (0-5)
Green Bay (4-1) (H) over Washington (3-1)
Cincinnati (1-3) over Kansas City (2-3) (H)
Tampa Bay (3-2) (H) over Tennessee (3-1)
Jacksonville (3-1) (H) over Houston (3-2)
Arizona (3-2) over Carolina (3-2) (H)
New England (5-0) over Dallas (5-0) (H)
Seattle (3-2) (H) over New Orleans (0-4)
NY Giants (3-2) over Atlanta (1-3) (H)

My Top 10 after 5 weeks are:

1. New England (5-0)
2. Indianapolis (5-0)
3. Green Bay (4-1)
4. Dallas (5-0)
5. Pittsburgh (4-1)
6. Jacksonville (3-1)
7. Washington (4-1)
8. Baltimore (3-2)
9. Tennessee (3-2)
10. Tampa Bay (3-2)

The bottom 5:

28. Buffalo (1-4)
29. Atlanta (1-4)
30. St. Louis (0-5)
31. New Orleans (0-4)
32. Miami (0-5)

What do you think? Will the Chargers win again? Will New England beat Dallas? Will St. Louis, New Orleans or Miami ever win?
