Can the Jets Win a Game?
My yo-yo picking in the NFL continues as I bounced back from a terrible week two weeks ago to a strong performance this week nailing 10 out of 15 games. Let’s see if I can keep the ball rolling but first things first, a quick reaction to week six results.
Week 6 Knee Jerks
New York Giants 34 Philadelphia 17: An upset for sure but not as surprising as one would think. Jaxson Dart has the Giants moving in the right direction. Questions are beginning to rise in regard to the Eagles’ state of being. Harv’s prediction: Giants 24 Eagles 21.
Denver 13 New York Jets 11: A complete embarrassment for sure turned in by the Jets. Quarterback Justin Fields was in the negative by the game’s end for passing. New York is now 0-6 and heading further south quickly. Denver is one of the AFC’s best teams but beating the Jets proves nothing. Harv’s prediction: Broncos 35 Jets 9.
Los Angeles Rams 17 Baltimore 3: This is getting nuttier every week. Another Ravens loss? 1-5? No one could have predicted this. Baltimore is handing over the division title to Pittsburgh. Matthew Stafford is proving why he is a future hall of famer. Harv’s prediction: Rams 38 Ravens 13.
Carolina 30 Dallas 27: Jerry Jones says his team is “still in it.” What are you smoking Jerry? The Panthers are beginning to find themselves again. Harv’s prediction: Panthers 23 Cowboys 21.
Indianapolis 31 Arizona 27: Do you think Daniel Jones misses his time as a New York Giant? Hardly. He and the Colts are rolling. Harv’s prediction: Colts 34 Cardinals 14.
Seattle 20 Jacksonville 12: One week you are up the next you down. That’s life in the NFL sometimes and life for the Jaguars. The Jags beat the Chiefs then lose to the ‘Hawks. Go figure. Acquiring Sam Darnold in the offseason has proved worthy to Seattle. Harv’s prediction: Jaguars 27 Seahawks 17.
Los Angeles Chargers 29 Miami 27: Like the Jets, the Dolphins are in trouble. Harv’s prediction: Dolphins 30 Chargers 27.
Pittsburgh 23 Cleveland 9: ESPN’s Power Rankings had the Steelers up one to 12th. They are slowly climbing their way into the top 10 then watch out top five. This team is starting to jell. Harv’s prediction: Steelers 24 Browns 17.
New England 25 New Orleans 19: All of the sudden the Patriots are relevant in the AFC East and have the Bills looking over their shoulders. The Saints are in for a long year. Harv’s prediction: Patriots 35 Saints 18.
Las Vegas 20 Tennessee 10: One week after winning a game they should not have, the Titans fired their head coach and got back to doing what they do best in 2025. Lose. The Raiders are still trying to locate their identity. Harv’s prediction: Raiders 40 Titans 20.
Tampa Bay 30 San Francisco 19: Some are calling the Bucs the best team in the league right now. I’m not buying that. The 49ers can’t be consistent. Harv’s prediction: Buccaneers 31 49ers 27.
Green Bay 27 Cincinnati 18: The Packers were the Super Bowl favorites after the Micah Parsons trade. Now they don’t look the part. Things that make you go hmmm. It’s hard to wrap your head around the fact that without Joe Burrow the Bengals stink. One man makes that much of a difference? Harv’s prediction: Packers 48 Bengals 9.
Kansas City 30 Detroit 17: The Chiefs are not dead yet. They beat a solid Lions team and have placed themselves back in the AFC title conversation. Harv’s prediction: Lions 31 Chiefs 20.
Atlanta 24 Buffalo 14: The Bills lose again and open the door for other AFC teams to challenge for the conference title. The Falcons believe they are one of the best teams in the league. They are inching towards proving they belong. Harv’s prediction: Bills 25 Falcons 17.
Chicago 25 Washington 24: A great story here. A walk on kicker replaces the injured starter and wins the game for the Bears on a last second field goal. The Commanders are stinging after this loss. Harv’s prediction: Commanders 34 Bears 17.
Two teams had the week off, the Houston Texans and Minnesota Vikings. Now for the week seven winners (or at least I hope!).
