Under Maintenance
We deeply apologize for interrupting your reading but Vendetta is currently undergoing some important maintenance! You may experience some layout shifts, slow loading times and dififculties in navigating.
Our partners at SimBull introduced a new contest called the “SimBull Six” and Karl Heiser and Adam Krieger will give you our picks each week. I went 1-2 last week like I always do, but Karl also joined in my losing ways going 1-2 himself to put us under .500 at 17-19.
Pick: Wake Forest (-3)
Wake Forest has played some very close games recently, but they’ve managed to come out on top in all of them. I trust their offense to make things happen. Army is coming off two straight losses, including one to Ball State. Give me the Demon Deacons by a field goal.
Pick: Oklahoma State (+7)
This almost seems too good to be true. Oklahoma State is red-hot. They might be a touch overrated in the polls, but no so much that I would expect them to lose by a whole touchdown to Iowa State. The Cyclones haven’t impressed me this season. I’m riding with the Cowboys.
Pick: Notre Dame (-7)
The Fighting Irish turn out to be frauds every year, but their only loss so far is against a very good Cincinnati team. USC has had a fairly weak schedule and have been very inconsistent. Notre Dame will be far and away the best team they’ve faced so far. As much as I can’t stand them, give me the Irish at home in a convincing win.Yesterday
Pick: Chiefs -5.5
Super tough game here to pick ATS. The Chiefs in my mind are a way better football team despite their play up until this point in the season. I just think this is a huge letdown spot for the Titans. Coming off a huge Monday Night Football upset over the Bills, Mike Vrabel and the boys might not have it in them in back-to-back weeks.
Pick: 49ers -4
The run of great Sunday Night Football games comes to an end this week with a pretty boring matchup. The Colts had such high expectations after bringing in Carson Wentz but have not performed thus far. With Jimmy G coming back this week Kyle Shanahan will have his boys ready for a playoff push.
Pick: Seahawks +5
No Russell Wilson, No Problem (I think). For real though this is a fade my brain play. There is no reason why Seattle should have a chance to win this game with GENO SMITH leading the offense. My brain says the Saints, but I suck at these picks anyway so tail me with caution.
