The Kansas City Chiefs may have decided not to play this year, but that is not how we do things at Arrowhead Addict! With that in mind, we have NFL picks once more, and last week I got on a serious roll. After struggling to find my groove, I went 12-2, and unfortunately was right when I picked the Chicago Bears to win at Arrowhead.
As we head into this week, there are some great games to watch. The primetime games are mostly snoozefests, although the Sunday night contest between the Indianapolis Colts and New England Patriots will be awesome. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady want blood, and they are going to have their chance.
Without further adieu, let’s get to the games.
All lines are provided by OddsShark.com. Also, I’m writing this with a burned hand, so forgive me if it’s a tad short and sweet.
Kansas City Chiefs at Minnesota Vikings (-4)
Kansas City (1-4) stinks. Minnesota (2-2) is decent. If the Chiefs can’t beat the Bears at Arrowhead, why are they going to win on the road? I hate to say it, but this team is cooked.
Pick: Minnesota 27, Kansas City 10
Atlanta Falcons (-3) at New Orleans Saints
Atlanta (5-0) is really playing good football, much more than I expected out of it. New Orleans (1-4) looks like an old team that desperately needs an overhaul. Look for an embarrassment here.
Pick: Atlanta 34, New Orleans 20
Cincinnati Bengals (-3.5) at Buffalo Bills
Cincinnati (5-0) finally looks like a real contender. The Bengals are winning games they always lost in the past. Buffalo (3-2) is decent, but this is a team that will struggle against good ones. The Bills also might be without Tyrod Taylor.
Pick: Cincinnati 23, Buffalo 12
