Posted on by gamedaycole

Here is a collection of NFL picks I gathered this week while working on college football. I have no plans to track or grade these picks so they are provided purely for your entertainment.

Note: I have not kept up with all of the COVID insanity this week. I don’t know if any of these games are rescheduled, cancelled, teams in COVID protocol, lines drastically moved or games taken off the board completely. I present these purely as-is because I jotted them down this week.

Colin Cowherd’s Blazin’ Five:
Colts-2.5 vs Patriots
Jaguars-5 vs Texans
Steelers+0.5 vs Titans
Broncos-3 vs Bengals
Seahawks+4 vs Rams

Scott Van Pelt’s WINNERS:
Falcons+9.5
Seahawks+5.5
Broncos-2.5
Bears+5.5

Doug Kezirian:
Dolphins-9.5 vs Jets
