Week 6 is upon us and we’re back with straight-up picks for Week 6 of the regular season. I pick each game’s winner, and then slot the picks based on confidence levels — high, medium, low, and no. A game with three asterisks (***) after it indicates a game where I’m picking the betting underdog to get the win.
Last week, I went 8-6 overall. I was 3-1 on my high confidence picks, 2-2 on medium, 2-3 on low, and 1-0 on no. I really didn’t see that Bears upset of the Commanders coming, but the Bills losing to the Jaguars in London wasn’t exactly shocking. Maybe I should have rolled the dice on that pick.
This week I have four upsets and 11 chalk picks. Of my high confidence picks, I’m probably least confidence in either Chiefs-Broncos or Eagles-Jets. The Broncos and Jets both stink, but these matchups have me curious. Denver gets Kansas City on a short week while New York gets a Philly squad that has been a bit inconsistent even with their unbeaten start to the season.
