This article is part of our NFL Picks series.
Pianowski continues to dominate early on -- he went 11-5 to push his record to 30-18. After him, three of us are clustered around .500, and then there's DDD.
This week we all like the Eagles, Dolphins and Cardinals, and the Dolphins are also my best bet.

This week we have three unanimous picks, the Eagles, Dolphins and Cardinals. We went 1-0 on unanimous picks last week, winning with the Colts, to bring our record to 3-2. We also went 8-8 on majority picks (three or more writers) to go 22-26 on the year. We were 26-21-1 on unanimous picks and 132-115-9 on majority picks in 2018.
| Writer | Comment |
|---|---|
| Erickson | Going back to the well on this one, though I am a little worried about T.Y. Hilton's quad injury and how that affects the rest of the offense. Second choice would be the Falcons. I'm wildly off on my line vs. the actual line on Saints-Cowboys, but I don't feel great about it. |
| Pianowski | The Bills have a puncher's chance at an upset, mostly because of the defense, but also for the playmaking ability of Josh Allen, and the legitimate home-field advantage. |
| Liss | I don't love this slate, but the Dolphins, terrible as they are, are getting too many points at home. I liked the Jaguars better before I learned about the Jalen Ramsey injury. I also like the Chiefs and Colts a little. |
| Payne | I might (will) take Buffalo every game this season; they're 2-1 ATS. This week I employed a new strategy, some people live by WWJD. I'm going with WWDDDD (What Would Dalton Del Don Do) and going the opposite (kidding!). Not really. |
| Del Don | The lines remain too low for this juggernaut Chiefs team, especially against a Detroit squad that's due for a letdown... I also like the Colts, Dolphins and Giants this week. |
