The first NFL weekend of October was an oddity for me.I went 6-9 straight up with my picks and 9-6 against the spread. That's just weird.Call me Mr. Vegas.Ok, so maybe not.This week features a handful of games that I really like. Among them are the playing host to the and the playing host
Chris Owings Jersey to the .Let's just say I like the home teams.Oh, and take a look at my pick in the "Tua Bowl" between the and . It might surprise you.Let's hope I can stay hot against the spread and improve the straight-up record. at (-16.5)Bill Belichick is 11-0 against rookie pa sers at home in his Patriots career. That will make for a tough challenge for and the Giants. Belichick and his talented secondary will throw a ton of looks at the rookie and he will make mistakes. Pats take it. Pick: Pats 31, Giants 10 at (+2)In LondonThis is a big division game. has led the Panthers to three straight victories since taking over for . The Panthers front on defense has been very good as well. Tampa Bay is in the middle of a brutal stretch of games. This is their home game and I think will outplay Allen here.

The Bengals have i sues on both sides of the ball, which I think will show up. will have a big day throwing it and running it like did against the Bengals last week.Pick: Ravens 30, Bengals 16Seattle Seahawks at Cleveland Browns (+1)The Browns haven't come close to looking like a playoff team, while has the Seahawks rolling at 4-1. Seattle will be the more-rested team coming off a Thursday night game, while the Browns played a Monday night game. Even so, I think the Browns will get back on track here and pull off an upset. Mayfield rebounds.Pick: Browns 23, Seahawks 21 at (-1)The Jaguars defense was
Joakim Soria Jersey awful last week against the Panthers, but I think they bounce back at home here. The Saints have been good with , but I think this is where that stops.

Michael Saunders Jersey a big game for both teams, but it's a statement game for the 49ers. At 4-0, playing on a short week off a Monday night game, this will be a real challenge.
