Suicide Picks for Week 6

I fell hard last Monday night in more ways than one.  Not only did I lose my suicide pick, but I also lost Julio Jones for the season, who had been my most consistent player thus far.  Hopefully, many of you went with St. Louis over Jacksonville last week and did the smarter thing.  So I need to take my own advice and move on to the next week and do the best I can this week.

Easy pick of the week is Denver.  They are pushing for the highest line in the history of the NFL and this one should be put away by half as rumors persist that Peyton may be done at the half, bad news for Peyton fantasy owners, even though he might have 4 touchdowns by then anyway.  Playing Jacksonville should be the easiest call, this will be unfortunate for those that have already used them, so let us find somebody else for those poor souls.

Let us go with the Bengals who are on the road, but will be facing Thad Lewis from Duke University and the Buffalo Bills.  I don't expect this to be a laugher as the Bills have been fairly tough and have fought in most games, but an inexperienced quarterback against the Bengals defense may be too much.  Andy Dalton and AJ Green have been off somewhat the last couple of weeks, so I expect them to get back on track.  I do worry a little bit that the Bengals could be taking them lightly coming off a big win over New England, but if you need a team, this is the best fit outside of Denver.

San Francisco over Arizona is my desperation play as I know first hand how Colin K has been playing as he is my fantasy quarterback and this offense lacks so far this season.  They are at home and I am assuming that their defense will do enough to shut down Carson Palmer and friends.  This game, is one I am rooting for as I need Mr. K to come up big, but I don't love it.  I think it is more of a lost faith in Arizona than liking the 49ers, until they prove me different.

Stay Away

Dallas has Washington at home and people saw Dallas almost beat Denver last week and they are probably thinking easy win....not so fast my friend.  This is a big rivalry game and this is the NFC East, where anything goes.  Don't count out RGIII and company and expect an easy win for Dallas in this one.  Dallas is always good to lose a couple of games that everybody has them winning and this could be the Redskins game to show that they were a playoff team last year. 

NY Jets, I know they knocked me out last week, but don't expect that just because the Steelers are 0-4 and the Jets are 3-2, which still sounds crazy, that this will be an easy win for the Jets.  Expect the Steelers to throw some crazy pressure at Geno and company and the Jets defense has not been anything special this season.  Big Ben and company will move the ball and this could be their first win of the season.
