Font’s Five: 2020 NFL Week 9 Picks of The Week

Anthony Fontanello / NFL / November 6, 2020

Font’s Five is back this week after a disappointing Week 8. We went 2-3 last week, which brings our record to 5-4-1 on the season. But, hey, we got that bad week out of the way and have a great week this week.

Font’s Five Starts off With the Las Vegas Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders +1.5. Let’s get something straight here. The Chargers should never be favored in a game, especially with how they invent new ways to blow games week after week. We’re going Raiders all the way here.

Texans, Broncos, Ravens, and Giants

Houston Texans -6.5. The Texans have had a down year. Thanks in large part to Bill O’Brian trading this team into oblivion. But, going up here against the Jaguars, with no Gardner Minshew. Deshaun Watson will light up this defense, and I expect the Texans to get a decisive victory here.

Denver Broncos +4. See, here’s another team that should never be favored the Atlanta Falcons. They are the Benjamin Franklin of blowing games. The Broncos are coming off a big comeback win over the Chargers. Take Denver in this spot. The game will be very close, and they will cover it.

Baltimore Ravens -1.5. Baltimore is coming off a let down against the Steelers. They were manhandling the Steelers for a good part of that game. Expect Lamar Jackson and company to come out angry a hell and run away with this game. Sorry Colts, but you’re not winning this one.

New York Giants +2.5. Look, I’m going to go with the Giants in this spot. The Giants have been in almost every game this season and are a play or two away from 4-4. The Washington Football team isn’t good, and neither are the Giants. However, the G-Men won this game last time. I expect another hard-fought game by the Giants in this spot.
