As Chiefs fan I have no idea why this is a pick em game. They have played better than us and are at home. We could clearly win if all goes well in this game but I made it KC +4 on my own line so would be on the home team here
Philadelphia
New Orleans
Cleveland
Atlanta
Dallas
Jacksonville, Detroit, 49ers, Houston also look kind of tempting.
Come in Jamesā¦we need your picks?
Colts, Eagles, Jets, Raiders, Ravens would be my picks but it looks a tough week
Unfortunately James has decided to forfeit his position in the game, the group has chipped in to cover.
wk1 - Adamā¦4
wk2 - Simonā¦2
wk3 - Andersā¦1
wk4 - Gordonā¦3
wk5- Robertā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.3
wk6 - (JamesX) TPF Joint Effort
wk7 - Shani
wk8 - Noel
wk9 - Dean
wk10 - Al
wk11 - Kieran
wk12 - Chris (champ)
wk13 - Chris
wk14 - Jon
wk15 - Brad
wk16 - Sean
wk17 - Mark
Season so far: 13 & 12
Oh wonder why James wasnāt up for this?
Why does Panthers@Saints not have any figures?
Right my picks would be for Week 6:
Baltimore (+3)
Jacksonville (+2.5)
Washington (+2)
Oakland (0)
Atlanta (+6)
Not sure about James, ATS picking isnāt for everyone, perhaps it would have spoiled his NFL experience so each to his own?
There was no line on that game due to the uncertainty surrounding Cam Newton. They usually pull a game if thereās an issue with a QB.
On Discourd, several of us stepped in and we went with
Eagles
Giants
Texans
Rams
Browns
Cool - I knew I was to late for deadline but as games 2moro and James didnāt do a Week 6 and I caught ya post thought Iād have a go as practice for when my numbers upā¦ so will be interesting to see how I fair this week and how the groups consensus does to.
Out of interest how far away from the money is the joint effort entry - I would say just over the 50% hit rate is way off but am assuming very good punters are all over this game and thatās why Iām guessing that just over a 50% hit rate is not cutting it?
The league hasnāt collectively hit 50% through 5 weeks. TFP entry is joint 49th at the moment (from 174 entries). We are 13 & 12, two wins away from a small prize.
The Steelers are the most successful league team, if it wasnāt for them the average score would be less than 40% correct. It has been extremely difficult so far, so 13 represents a very good score.
Keep practising, you need to have a good read on what is a good spread.

CURRENT SCORE 16, should be enough to be around the top 30, probably only a point or two away from a prize.
A couple of last minute winners from Anders (NYG) & Brad (Browns), and a couple of pushes from myself (Texans) & Gordon (Rams), gave a collective 3 points in wk6 (the league as whole averaged just over 2).
I canāt imagine any of the remaining āpickersā will drop out, but please let us know if you plan to do so. Shani is up next, then Noelā¦get studying boys

Noel, you are in charge this week - If thereās anything you need to know, give me a shout. The group entry is currently 4 points back from a prize or 6 from the top).
If youāre tempted to include the Thursday game, Anders needs to know by tomorrow night, if not try and aim for Saturday morning.
Please be mindful that the bookmakers spreads will fluctuate but the numbers above are fixed.
So week 7 on them spreads I would of come out (W) 3-2 (L) again. So 6-4 last two weeks.
Okay my NFL Week 8 picks:
