My NFL picks went 2-4 in Week 6, and two kickers did most of the damage. I had the Titans under 44, and Joey Slye hit a 44-yard field goal in the final minute to land the total right on 44. Then Houston beat Jacksonville, and me, with a 49-yarder at the gun.
For Week 7, I went back to the Titans at +1.5 at home against Cleveland. I also took the unbeaten 49ers -3 at Atlanta, the Chiefs +2.5 in Seattle, the Vikings -6.5 against the Colts and the Broncos -4.5 in Arizona.
The fade went against the crowd on the Bengals. The line swung four and a half points toward Cincinnati, mostly on the bet that Lamar Jackson would sit, so I took the Ravens +1.5. Every result is on The Record.
2026 record: College picks 9-7-1 (including the Vols) · Vols against the spread 3-2 · NFL picks 3-10
