Advanced NFL Picks 10
Baltimore 26 – CINCINNATI 10
Ravens might be a bit flat after Pats upset, but QB Finley is working without the benefit of a legit infantry diversion or top target AJ Green, still out with ankle injury. Can’t trust Bengals in any spot and wouldn’t bet them with your money.
Ravens -10
GREEN BAY 31 – Carolina 23
Admit, it’s unlikely the Green Bay attack, which had 50 yds. or fewer in the first half for only the 2nd time since 2013 in 2611 setback at the L.A. Chargers, will throw in another clunker behind future HOF’er Aaron Rodgers. Carolina on road vs 49ers gave up 51 points and we see Packers bouncing back big at home here and getting enough play from there D to keep Panthers beyond reach of a cover.
PACKERS -5
Chicago 23 – Detroit 14
It appears the Bears’ 2nd-year HC Matt Nagy will need the off-season to re-imagine an anemic O (18 ppg; ranked 29th in total yds.) lacking much creativity or pop behind still-erratic QB MitchTrubisky, who generated just 9 yards in first H of 22-14 defeat at Philly. But this is the week that the Bears have any chance of making playoffs so they will be more than focused. Plus Dome team Lions are travelling to outdoor grass venue AND coming off tough fought game vs Raiders last week.
BEARS -3
