After an impressive 33-13 victory at Cleveland, the Patriots return to Foxboro to face the Cincinnati Bengals. Gillette Stadium will be rocking for the 2016 home debut of Tom Brady after his four game Article 46 exile. With clear skies and only a slight breeze perhaps the wine and cheese crowd might even remain in their red seats and brave the 67\u00b0 forecasted temperature<\/a> to view TB12 live, rather than retreating to the Putnam Club lounge.<\/p>\n

The game kicks off at 1:00 pm eastern time with fairly extensive nationwide coverage by CBS<\/a>. Ian Eagle will handle the play-by-play duties, with Dan Fouts adding in the commentary. Why these two are considered by CBS to be the number two broadcast team while the Greg Gumbel-Trent Green duo is third is baffling.<\/p>\n

In the late time slot there are two interesting NFC contests. Green Bay hosts a much improved Dallas team seeking its fifth straight win. The Packers need a win to stay close to undefeated Minnesota in the NFC North. At the same time the Falcons take their Space Invaders Offense<\/a> to the CLink<\/a> against Seattle. Atlanta owns the best offense in the NFL while the Seahawks rank third, averaging just 13.5 points allowed per game.

New England Patriots<\/strong><\/a> Game of the Week<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

?????<\/strong><\/span> 2-3 Cincinnati Bengals at 4-1 New England Patriots<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts and Evan Washburn<\/em>
\nPatriots -7\u00bd . . . . over\/under 47\u00bd . . . . NWE -360, CIN +300<\/span><\/p>\n

Any defense with Geno Atkins, Vontaze Burfict, Domato Peko, Carlos Dunlap and Michael Johnson – complimented with AJ Green at wide receiver – cannot be taken lightly. More disconcerting to me is that teams tend to rebound after a poor performance, and Cincy looked awful last week. Even though the Bengals are a desperate team on the ropes, the Patriots should win this game easily. Considering the stinker against Buffalo is still fresh in their memory, there is no reason for the Patriots to be looking ahead to next week’s game at Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

Once again an Ohio team is in the wrong place at the wrong time. The scorched earth tour continues.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Patriots 31, Bengals 17<\/strong><\/span>

NFL Week 6 Predictions and Picks Against the Spread<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

??<\/strong><\/span> 3-2 Baltimore Ravens at 2-3 New York Giants<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Greg Gumbel, Trent Green and Jamie Erdahl<\/em>
\nGiants -3\u00bd . . . . over\/under 44\u00bd . . . . NYG -175, BAL +155<\/span><\/p>\n

I am not buying the ‘Ravens could be 5-0’ line after losing two close games. Baltimore’s three wins were against bad teams, while the Giants had to go on the road to play Minnesota and Green Bay. The Giants should dominate the Baltimore offensive line, but New York’s 29th ranked minus-7 turnover differential is disconcerting.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Giants 23, Ravens 21<\/strong><\/span>
\nRavens +3\u00bd . . . . . under 44\u00bd . . . . . Baltimore +155<\/p>\n

????<\/strong><\/span> 1-3 Carolina Panthers at 1-3 New Orleans Saints<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on FOX; Sam Rosen, Daryl Johnston and Laura Okmin<\/em>
\nPanthers -3 . . . . over\/under 53\u00bd . . . . CAR -150, NOR +130<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a big game for the two NFC South rivals. Neither team has lived up to preseason expectations and one of these two clubs will drop to 1-4. While the Super Bowl hangover is a real thing for teams that have less time to rest and rehabilitate their bodies after playing until February, it seems unfathomable that the Panthers are on the precipice of tumbling from 15-1 to 1-5. The New Orleans running game has improved, taking some pressure off of Drew Brees to do it all. Even so I will take Cam Newton’s return to give Carolina enough of a lift to overcome a raucous partisan N’awlins dome crowd.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Panthers 31, Saints 27<\/strong><\/span>
\nPanthers -3 . . . . . over 53\u00bd . . . . . Carolina -150<\/p>\n

???<\/strong><\/span> 4-1 Pittsburgh Steelers at 1-4 Miami Dolphins<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Spero Dedes and Solomon Wilcots<\/em>
\nSteelers -7 . . . . over\/under 49 . . . . PIT -330, MIA +270<\/span><\/p>\n

Miami’s off-season game plan was to shore up their defensive front line, but that investment has yet to show any dividends. The Dolphins are giving up an incredible league-worst 151 rushing yards per game. The offensive line is equally chaotic, with three o-linemen just released even though there were no apparent improvements available. Normally I would consider this to be a trap game for Pittsburgh with the Patriots on the schedule next week. That is not going to be the case after the 34-3 loss to the Eagles in their most recent road game.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Steelers 31, Dolphins 13<\/strong><\/span>
\nSteelers -7 (two units) . . . . . under 49 . . . . . Pittsburgh -330<\/p>\n

\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Andrew Catalon and Steve Tasker and Steve Beuerlein<\/em>
\nBears -1\u00bd . . . . over\/under 45\u00bd . . . . CHI -125, JAC +105<\/span><\/p>\n

Make no mistake, the Bears are not good. That being said, the Chicago offense is improving. Jordan Howard is averaging 5.8 yards per carry and has compiled 295 yards from scrimmage in the last two games since assuming his role as the starting running back. On the other hand the Bear defense may be just what the doctor ordered for Blake Bortles and the Jaguars for back-to-back victories.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Jaguars 27, Bears 24<\/strong><\/span>
\nJaguars +1\u00bd . . . . over 45\u00bd . . . . Jacksonville +105<\/p>\n

??<\/strong><\/span> 1-4 San Francisco 49ers at 3-2 Buffalo Bills<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on FOX; Dick Stockton, Chris Spielman and Kristina Pink<\/em>
\nBills -8\u00bd . . . . over\/under 44\u00bd . . . . BUF -360, SFO +300<\/span><\/p>\n

Blaine Gabbert has been awful at quarterback, and Colin Kaepernick is a better fit in Chip Kelly’s offense. Buffalo’s defense is improved over last year, particularly on third down and in the red zone. San Francisco’s defense is in shambles, allowing an average of 35 points over the last four games. If the Niners were incapable of slowing down David Johnson at home, how can they be expected to slow down LeSean McCoy on the road?<\/p>\n

\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on FOX; Justin Kutcher, Charles Davis and Peter Schrager<\/em>
\nLions -2\u00bd . . . . over\/under 44\u00bd . . . . DET -160, LAR +140<\/span><\/p>\n

Detroit is not the same defense without DE Ziggy Ansah, but the LA offensive line has been ineffective. The Rams depend on RB Todd Gurley, but opponents are selling out to stop the run, resulting in Gurley repeatedly being hit in the backfield prior to having a chance to go anywhere. Jeff Fisher’s annual quest for 7-9 continues as planned.<\/p>\n

?<\/strong><\/span> 0-5 Cleveland Browns at 2-3 Tennessee Titans<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on CBS; Tom McCarthy and Adam Archuleta<\/em>
\nTitans -7\u00bd . . . . over\/under 43\u00bd . . . . TEN -330, CLE +270<\/span><\/p>\n

Tennessee won last week’s game at Miami by playing keep away. The Titans rushed for 235 yards and ran 29 more plays (70-41) than the Dolphins, en route more than a 13 minute advantage in time of possession. If the Browns let anything close to that happen then they have no chance. Cleveland does have a much better running game than Miami does, and the Tennessee offense is not built to come from behind to win. Do the Titans know how to handle success? If not, this could be Cleveland’s best chance for a win this season.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Titans 23, Browns 17<\/strong><\/span>
\nBrowns +7\u00bd (one unit) . . . . under 43\u00bd . . . . Cleveland +270<\/p>\n

????<\/strong><\/span> 3-1 Philadelphia Eagles at 3-2 Washington Redskins<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 1:00 pm ET on FOX; Kenny Albert, John Lynch and Pam Oliver<\/em>
\nEagles -3\u00bd . . . . over\/under 44\u00bd . . . . PHI -150, WAS +130<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason that Philadelphia has looked so much better than last year is their defense. The Eagles rank second in scoring (12.8 points per game), second in yardage (267 per game) and are eighth at 5.0 yards per play. The Washington defense will surely target RT Halapoulivaati Vaitai. The rookie will be making his first start thanks to the ten-game suspension of Lane Johnson. I’ll take a hot Washington team at home over a Philly club on the road that is cooling off.<\/p>\n

????<\/strong><\/span> 2-2 Kansas City Chiefs at 4-1 Oakland Raiders<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 4:05 pm ET on CBS; Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon<\/em>
\nChiefs -2\u00bd . . . . over\/under 46 . . . . KAN -130, OAK +110<\/span><\/p>\n

This game started out with Oakland favored by one, but has swung 3\u00bd points the other way. Jamaal Charles is reportedly ready for a full workload, which is bad news for an Oakland defense that has allowed 28 or more points in four out of five games. Raider RB Latavius Murray is out with a toe injury, which means that this game will likely come down to the KC pass defense versus Derek Carr throwing to Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Raiders 31, Chiefs 28<\/strong><\/span>

?????<\/strong><\/span> 4-1 Atlanta Falcons at 3-1 Seattle Seahawks<\/strong><\/span>
\nSunday, October 16 at 4:25 pm ET on FOX; Chris Myers, Ronde Barber and Jennifer Hale<\/em>
\nSeahawks -6\u00bd . . . . over\/under 45\u00bd . . . . SEA -260, ATL +220<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Ryan has been spectacular in Kyle Shanahan’s offense, spreading the ball around and keeping opposing defenses on their heels. Seattle’s defense – and their loud home field advantage – is suited to take advantage of a very average Atlanta offensive line though. The Falcons were able to take advantage of mismatches against Denver with their linebackers unable to keep up with running backs Devonte Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Seattle is solid at the second level with Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright, but that is still a matchup that favors the Falcons. This should be an exciting game and it is unfortunate that so many will not see it. As well as Atlanta has been playing, it is extremely rare for a team to win back-to-back road games against quality opponents.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Seahawks 27, Falcons 24<\/strong><\/span>
\nFalcons +6\u00bd (one unit) . . . . over 45\u00bd (one unit) . . . . Seattle -260<\/p>\n

\nSunday, October 16 at 4:25 pm ET on FOX; Thom Brennaman, Troy Aikman and Erin Andrews<\/em>
\nPackers -4\u00bd . . . . over\/under 47\u00bd . . . . GNB -220, DAL +180<\/span><\/p>\n

Jerry Jones quietly ceded some decision making to his son Stephen a few years ago, and it has paid off. Rather than fixate on name stars, Dallas invested early draft picks on their offensive line – and it has paid off. This game will be determined in the trenches even if this isn’t the Ice Bowl. The Cowboys are averaging an NFL-best 155 yards per game rushing, while Green Bay is allowing a league-best 43 yards rushing per game and a minuscule 2.0 yards per carry. Rookie Ezekiel Elliott has lived up to the hype for Dallas. The former Buckeye leads the league in rushing (109 yards per game) and first downs (31), and already has five rushes for 20+ yards and twelve carries for 10+ yards.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Packers 20, Cowboys 17<\/strong><\/span>

\nTexans -3 . . . . over\/under 48 . . . . HOU -150, IND +130<\/span><\/p>\n

On one hand I want Indianapolis to win enough games to just barely miss the playoffs, and at the same time miss out on having an early draft pick. On the other hand it won’t really matter because Ryan Grigson has proven that he cannot build a decent roster. In case you wonder why Grigson succumbed to the temptation to attempt to frame the Patriots, consider his work history. In 2001 Grigson was with the Rams when the Patriots beat them in the Super Bowl. Three years later he was with the Eagles when Philly lost to New England in the big game. Then he is hired by Indianapolis, a franchise that has nightmares for all the would-be glory that dissipated with losses to New England. Nothing like a football Sunday to be capped off with Grigson and Irsay having to suffer another loss by the Colts.<\/p>\n

Back-to-back prime time schadenfreude. Gang Green’s superb front line cannot mask their deficiencies in the secondary. Going on the road to face a team that thrives on the vertical passing game is a recipe for more embarrassment, turmoil and finger pointing from the Jet locker room.<\/p>\n

\nThursday October 13 at 8:30 pm ET on NFLN; Jim Nantz, Phil Simms and Tracy Wolfson<\/em><\/p>\n

Did you notice the absolute lack of poise by San Diego head coach Mike McCoy in the final minute of Thursday’s game? With the outcome on the line after Denver recovered an onside kick McCoy was kneeling on the headline with his eyes closed and head down for an interminable amount of time. What kind of leadership is that? San Diego won in spite of McCoy’s chokefest and complete lack of aplomb. Fortunately for San Diego they were facing a road team on a short week with questions at quarterback.<\/p>\n

Week 5 was so-so, with a teaser bailing me out of what would have been a losing week. Best calls were Vikings -6\u00bd at Houston, Titans +3\u00bd at Miami and Falcons +5\u00bd at Denver. As bad as taking the Rams at home against the Bills and Baltimore over Washington, the worst prediction by far was Cincinnati over Dallas. 37-23-1 and plus $2470 is something I will take any time after five weeks.<\/p>\n
