Frey's NFL Picks Week 6: Well....Last Week Sure Sucked. But I Got Better!

I’ve often lived under the axiom that if you cannot be a shining example, than become a cautionary tale.

My braggadocio at going 4-0 last week resulted in a resounding 0-4 bitch-slap from karma.

Sorry for the foul mouth (I know that kids read this blog before they call their bookies) but it is important that the truth be spoken.  

Never use a Boromir meme lauding your awesomeness this early in the season.

Now that balance has been restored to the universe, let’s pick some games and get them right this time.

Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots (-3)

Harry Truman once said, “There is nothing new in the world except the history you don’t know.”

For much of the last decade, New England launches out of the gate, trips on their own badoinker, lands face first in the dust, and then pops back up to smack everyone else around for the next 3 months.

I love me some Mahomes, but let’s be honest here my friends.  The rook is due for a letdown and a road game against the Patriots is as good a place as any for it to happen.  

Moreover, Andy Reid seldom comes through in big moments.  Excepting, perhaps, his curling medal from last year’s Olympics.

Congrats to Andy Reid on finally capturing a championship

Take the cheating rat-bastard Bostonians to win and cover.

Los Angeles Rams (-6 ½) @ Denver Broncos

All week long, I keep hearing local radio pundits insist that the Broncos need to run the football more.  

If the defense is in the nickel then run the ball.  

If they stack 8 in the box, then run it anyway because that is what we do best.  

Don’t be tricked into throwing by the defensive scheme, keep pounding the rock!

I love Phil Lindsay.  Freeman is a boss.

But why the $#%& did we pay a QB $18,000,000 a year if launching rookies into a stacked line is a superior alternative to throwing to one of the highest paid receiving corps in the whole freaking league?

The Broncos are done.  Keenum sucks. These clowns are cooked. 

Wade Phillips and his revenge game will go very poorly for the good guys.  

Letting this guy go was almost criminally stupid.

The complete collapse of a once proud franchise will continue unabated.

Jacksonville Jaguars (-2 ½) @ Dallas Cowboys

Tune into any national (and occasionally local) radio show and you will, invariably, hear the big personalities say how much better the NFL is when teams like the Raiders and Cowboys are good.

Nonsense. 

Their fans are insufferable and it’s awesome when they suck.

Take the Jags this week.

Chicago Bears (-2 ½) @ Miami Dolphins

Can you imagine anything more intimidating to an outstanding defense then coming off your bye week and running into Ryan Tannehill?

If you can’t, then you have a lot of problems.

This game looks pretty trappy but the Bears are the correct choice here.

Week 4:  0-4

2018 Record: 13-7

Trap Game Record: 4-1
