NFL Picks: Redskins and Titans

NFL Picks: Redskins and Titans

This article is part of our NFL Picks series.

It is crazy how badly Jeff Squarickson is killing us. He went a whopping 11-2-1 last week to extend his lead to 14 games over DDD and his record 93-64 overall (59.2%)!

We have two unanimous picks this week, the Redskins on Thanksgiving and the Titans.

EricksonSame logic as last week - the line still doesn't treat the Packers as the team they have become. The Eagles should be closer to five-point favorites. I vacillated on the Dolphins-Niners and Chargers-Texans. Pretty comfortable with the Ravens and Falcons as second and third best bets.
PianowskiI can't believe we're letting that square Erickson crush us. He probably thinks Coldplay is a punk-rock band. Boom, roasted. The longer Liss stays in Europe, the longer I think there's pending litigation somewhere. Boom, roasted. Stay in my home? More like stay in ninth place in the Stopa League. Boom, roasted. If D3 bet on a funeral parlor, no one would die. Boom, roasted. Oh, my picks have sucked for several weeks, so fade until rich. I'm just as dumb as anyone else. But trust me on the Thanksgiving pasta. I really do love everyone here, and I'm thankful for them, and all of you.
LissI didn't love any of the games this week, but the Chiefs are in a good spot getting more than three against an essentially equal team against whom they matchup well, and the Eagles should have their way with the Packers defense at home. I also like the Vikings to beat the Lions on Thanksgiving in a low-scoring game and the Saints laying only seven at home against the Jared Goff-Rams.
StopaHard for me to understand why the Bills are such big favorites while the Ravens are barely over a FG against a Cincy team down two key weapons and facing the reality that its 2016 is over... The Chargers are much better than their record suggests, while the Texans are worse.
Del DonJared Goff doesn't appear close to ready, and he now will be playing on the road in a tough environment against a Saints team coming off extra rest. I expect a blowout in New Orleans this week.
