my NFL picks for regular season game 5

[dg]

Apologies for forgetting to post my predictions here for games 2-4. I post them at another site first, then sometimes forget to repost here. BTW, my model has been beating Vegas by 1-2 games right per week.

Here are my picks for this week's games. As before, the predicted loser is the team with points added to the name.



CHI + 1 vs CAR

TB + 4 vs CIN

DEN + 3 vs BAL

KC + 6 vs IND

SL + 0 vs DET

GB vs WAS + 6

ATL vs CLE + 4

JAX + 0 vs BUF

NYG + @ vs HOU

NO vs ARZ + 3

TEN + 4 vs DAL

SD vs OAK + 8

PHI vs SF + 2

MIN vs NYJ + 1



Keep in mind that these are merely model predictions based on past performance statistics. No one gives a rat's ass whether anyone agrees or disagrees with these predictions. So far, the model has outperformed the gamblers in vegas every week this season. Vegas is in agreement with my picks except for the last 2. They pick SF and NYJ to win their games, whereas I pick PHI and MIN to win.

worse picks ever! only consolation is that vegas did equally bad. didn't do the calcs for week 6; and based on all the upsets I saw, I'm glad I didn't bother.

The Patriots are doing well. I got to see part of the game this week. Will watch again Sunday night.

close game. Frankly, I thought that GB would win it after seeing the first half. GB performed very well behind a second string QB.

However, I did disagree with the call that took away the PAT's interception and gave GB first and ten -- sustaining their last minute drive attempt. Both guys on the line were doing exactly the same thing to each other; and neither had anything to do with the result of the play. The game should have been over right then.
