Team. Today I have made the decision we’re not losing. It’s time. It’s time for an undefeated Sunday to kick off a new month. October, while my favorite month of the calendar year, was not my favorite month of the year picks-wise. I landed somewhere in the .500 range and that’s just not gonna get it done when you’re relying on NFL Sunday picks to pay your mortgage, which I know everyone reading this is. But whatever, they call it Spooktober for a reason and now that that’s passed we can finally focus on full clarity and 100% correct picks, starting now.

 = Level of confidence. 1 lowest, 5 highest.

TENNESSEE TITANS -7 @ Cincinnati, 1:05 EST.   Tennessee is coming off a hard fought heartbreaker to the Steelers and Vrabel will have his team out for blood in week eight. With Indianapolis just a game behind but no where near the skill level of the Titans, Tennessee will be looking to make a statement on the road vs the lowly Bengals. While I may have a lingering emotionally confusing physical attraction to Joe Burrow, he unfortunately can’t hold pace with Tannehill, Brown, and Henry today. Final: Titans 27, Bengals 13

GREEN BAY -6.5 versus Minnesota, 1:05 EST.    Outside of his disastrous outing versus the Bucs in week six, Rodgers has been on an absolute revenge tour this season, and that’s with or without Devante Adams in the lineup. Adams is in today and when he is that offense rises to a level that can compete with any team in the NFL. With that being said, they are competing against the surprisingly pitiful Minnesota Vikings today. While Minnesota doesn’t completely roll over and die, they don’t cover the 6.5 on the road in Green Bay. Final: Packers 34, Vikings 23 

Teaser of the Week –      (6 point teaser)

This is an easy one so there’s no reason to even dance around it. The Saints march into the Windy City today to take on a FRAUDULENT Bears team with a line of -4. The Bears are 5-2 but are one DeAndre Swift drop away from 4-3, and a couple other fluke plays away from cozying up in the basement of the NFC North with the Vikings. Fuck this Bears team and their over inflated record, the Saints come marching in and take care of these con artists. Steelers, who have been my bread and butter all season, face their toughest test in divisional rival Baltimore, and while I think the Curtain has the chops to win this game, let’s player safe and say they just keep it close. SAINTS +2 @ Chicago and STEELERS +10 @ Baltimore. 

Sunday Night Football 🔒

What a dog shit game. These two teams are an embarrassing joke and I’m not even going to give this the dignity of a decent write up. They are both ass and with a line of 10.5 in a division game where both teams can’t tell the difference from their ass and a hole in the wall you have to take the dog. I don’t care who’s at quarterback. Dallas covers a +10.5 spread vs rival Philly. Final Philly 24, Dallas 20. 

OUR LIONS ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

Guys- last week was amazing. The entire Lions’ nation collective heads literally EXPLODED with Kool-Aid after Hockenson caught that touchdown pass as time expired which lead to an exhilarating Lions road victory. Shit like that doesn’t happen to the Lions. Shit like that doesn’t happen PERIOD. And that is why today, I am breaking all rules. I am going against everything I have said this year and we’re betting the Lions. If you were wondering why I only had two picks up there this week it’s because I was saving the best for last. This is the grand-daddy of the picks today and it hits home. Betting on teams you love is a dangerous proposition but we’re here and now is the time.

I know people who say to take an emotional hedge on a game you are fully invested in. Example, these said people would say to bet on the Colts today….that way if the Colts win, you are sad about the Lions losing, but at least you made money. And vice versa…if the Lions win you are happy the Lions won but sad you lost money on the game. Listen to me: I think this is the most ass-backward fucked up thing a person can do betting-wise. I say you go all in, or you sit out. Never in my entire life have I ever bet against a Detroit sports team. Never in my life have I considered “an emotional hedge”. You don’t get an “emotional hedge” when you bet the Lions. All your emotions get diced up, tossed into a blender and pureed until they are done and spit you back out. That’s just the way it works. It’s a haunting nightmare roller coaster that brings you to the top of the mountain then plummets you down, crashing into earth like the Dragster missing a few vital screws. It’s hell but it’s what we’ve signed up for, and if I was drinking the Kool-Aid last week for that kind of W, there is no way I’m hopping off this bandwagon now. Lions win at home versus the Colts, move to ABOVE .500 for the first time this season (PS STILL HATE PATRICIA. SLOB.)

FINAL: Lions 26, Colts 24

LIONS +3 and/or MONEYLINE is the PLAY. 

#FORWARD 🍾
