The FGR Week 4 NFL Picks

We went 1-2 on last week's picks (barely), our fantasy team lost by about 50 points and our favorite team got trounced at home on Monday night. The word to describe that type of performance is currently "Keeganesque" but we remain undaunted and need a break from this Ryder Cup shit show so let's grind-out a few football picks between European birdies.  

Minnesota by 2.5 over Pittsburgh: The Pick - Vikings

Dear people of Ireland . . .
you too could look this stupid.

They're playing this game in Ireland as part of the NFL's ongoing effort to grow the game by sending some of its most obnoxious fan bases to foreign countries. Despite being 2-1, the Steelers are not very good with one score wins over the Patriots and Jets along with an overall point differential of -5. As long as Carson Wentz keeps throwing it to his own teammates, it should at least be an ugly 17-13 Vikings victory with the added bonus that an American team will probably win in Europe this weekend. 

L.A. Chargers by 6 at the N.Y. Giants: The Pick - Chargers

The coach/quarterback edge for the Chargers is double digits and the Giants defense is really not good so the only explanation for this line not being about -11.5 is that it's a cross-country 1:00 p.m. game. Jim Harbaugh will somehow find a way to use that to his advantage while Brian Dabold will figure-out how to do the opposite. 

Philadelphia Eagles by 3.5 at Tampa Bay: The Pick - Bucs

Not only do you get a home underdog that's 3-0, you also get one of the best late game quarterbacks in the league who will absolutely be slinging-it even if he's down 10 with five seconds to play so the may be more of a probability than a possibility. Also, the Eagles have now won 20 of their last 21 games which is just silly. The NFL does not do silly.  

Last Week's Record: 1-1 . . . Season Record: 1-2.
