Yeah, Big Ben is toast. Yeah, the O-Line is a horror show. Yeah, Tomlin continues to be a cliché machine. But the Broncos 3-0 start I still believe was all due to a schedule soft as jello, and with Bridgewater dealing with a concussion I just don't see Pittsburgh dropping to 0-3 at home. The defense will come up big & will save their season for now. Official pick:

Stillers over Broncos (If line changes, backup pick will be Bengals over Packers)

Edit#2: - looks like Pittsburgh is now underdogs again now that Bridgewater will be starting so they remain my official pick

Week 1 - Dolphins over Pats - W
Week 2 - Cowboys over Chargers - W
Week 3 - Packers over SF - W
Week 4 - Baltimore over Denver - W

Current pick is Cleveland over LAC but don't hold me to that one yet. I'm not a huge fan of most of the other options. Tempted to go with Buffalo over KC but it's the type of game I imagine KC winning.

Week 1 - Texans over Jaguars (W)
Week 2 - Titans over Seahawks (W)
Week 3 - Packers over 49ers (W)
Week 4 - Lions over Bears (L)
Week 5 - Seahawks over Rams

There's no picks I'm really actively interested in this week. I have the Steelers beating Denver but bet365 has Pittsburgh -1 so I feel like that line will shift around lots.

Line likely shifted due to Bridgewater concussion. If he is out likely a pickem game.

Seahawks over Rams. In the span of 12 days, the Rams will have played the Bucs, Cards and Seahawks. It's an absolute gauntlet for a team that is built on its top end star talent with not much depth below them.

Week 1: Giants over Broncos (L)
Week 2: Bengals over Bears (L)
Week 3: Rams over Buccaneers (W)
Week 4: Seahawks over 49ers (W)

Record: 2-2

If the Hawks have hopes of making the PO they need to hold serve at home for divisional games. Big test for them this week.

Before the season the WC race I had Sea, SF, And one of Dal/ NO because I had WFT winning the East.

now we have AZ and Car off to good starts while SF May end up riding Lance thus likely dropping out of the race. NO inconsistent right now.

Week 1: MIA > NE (+)
Week 2: DAL > LAC (+)
Week 3: ATL > NYG (+)
Week 4: LV > LAC (-)

The Bills are enticing, but they usually lose these kind of games, where they could become a top team. While the Chargers burned my last time, I still don't trust them.

Week 5: CLE > LAC

The Bills won’t be underdogs often, and the chiefs can’t stop anybody. I’ll jump on that while I can
