With almost 100 completed matches out of 272 that make up the regular calendarthe sample of the observation laboratory is already considerable to be able to say that very few things make sense in the National Football League 2022.
Tom Brady is no longer the most envied man in the history of mankind. He not only lost his relationship with Giselle Bundchen because of her obsessive love of her juice, but also first encountered a rookie quarterback as a reminder of a divine law: youth always prevails over experience when physical force is involved.
Although in an act of sincerity, it must also be said that Kenny Pickett did not finish the game because he entered the concussion protocol. Veteran Mitch Trubisky was the man who took it upon himself to take the driving wheel for Pittsburgh.
On the sixth Sunday of the campaign the expected, the moderately unexpected, and the completely unexpected were reintroduced like the announcement of a game on Friday on Black Friday that will be held next week.
At this point in the campaign, 10 organizations have a winning record, 10 teams have a 3-3 record and 12 are losersso it can be said that if it were a marathon game, ignorance is winning over almost all competitors.
For six weeks we have also learned that teams exercise the art of the comeback.
- 19 games won or tied by a team trailing by 10 or more points, matching the most through Week 6 all-time.
- 32 games in which a team has won or tied once more following trailing in the fourth quarter, tied with 1989 (32) for the most such games through Week 6 in NFL history.
- 74 games within a one-scoring margin (eight points) in the fourth quarter, the most games in league annals to this point in the year.
A few days ago, Tom Brady stated on his Let’s Go podcast that he had a hard time concentrating on his personal life during the season.
Brady, we have news for you: you are not the only one.
Many of us spend hours trying to find a balance to be aware of his every action on the field while also fulfilling our obligations.
I don’t want to put the above as an excuse for my poor performance in the picks, this year is simply not like any other and the following statistic is an example.
Not since 1994 has there been such a high percentage of games that had a score below the established bet lines.
The unders are branded 57-37 so far, a rate of 61 percent.
This means that the offenses forgot to score or their attacks are simply very mediocre.
Last week’s average points were 45 per game, last year at this point in the season it was 48.2 points.
Did you know that margins of victory in football end with a point difference of exactly 3, 6, 7, 10, and 14 more than 40% of the time?
Me neither, I read it in an article specialized in mathematics and markers and I considered it important to share it with you.
GAME OF THE WEEK
Chiefs (-3)en 49ers:
In memory of fans Kansas City still keeps as a fresh memory the victory that the Chiefs achieved in Super Bowl LV that was played in Miami before the world was plunged into a long confinement caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Covid is still among us although causing less damage than two years ago, something similar to these two organizations that remain in the elite of the league.
Since they met on the most important Sunday of the 2019 season, the Chiefs lead the NFL in total yards per game (402.4) while the 49ers lead the NFL in fewest yards allowed (303.5).
We will have a confrontation between preponderant forces on both sides of the ball.
In consecutive weeks, the Chiefs have attracted the No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in the NFL. Buffalo led the league in yards per game entering the Week 6 game at Kansas City and San Francisco leads the league this season in fewest yards allowed (255.8) entering Week 7.
Both teams enter Levi’s Stadium with a loss in their previous confrontation but a different context.
While the 49ers were outscored by the Falcons as favorites, the Chiefs fell into a very tight game once morest the Bills, the AFC’s No. 1 Super Bowl contender.
The Chiefs have the No. 1-ranked scoring offense, while the 49ers still struggle to score points.
Chiefs, despite having absences in their defensive backs, played their best game once morest the Bills’ powerful offense
49ers 21-28 Chiefs
SURE PICK
Bears en Patriots (-7.5):
It may sound cliché but in the blink of an eye the Patriots went from being 1-3 to 3-3 and with high possibilities to play above .500 before crucial games once morest the New York Jets. Justin Fields’ erratic play lines up well with New England’s error-prone defense. With a win, Bill Belichick will overtake George Halas for second most wins by a coach in the NFL with 325.
You will get it no problem.
Bears 10-14
UPSET
Jets in Broncos (-3):
Not just New York, the world is shocked by the Jets’ start, though their flying still gets no respect, as evidenced by their continued underdog status.. Although Zach Wilson continues his gradual development as a franchise quarterback, the running game and defense have made a difference compared to last season.
Jets 21-17 Broncos

TWO MINUTE DRILL
Saints at Cardinals (-1.5):
Week 7 of the NFL kicks off with two organizations going 2-4. Some may consider that it is very drastic, but for me the team that loses this Thursday night can start thinking regarding the next season. Injuries continue to pile up for New Orleans. Saints 17-20 Cardinals
Falcons and Bengals (-6.5):
The Falcons continue to defy fate, but the Bengals are slowly playing better football. Falcons 21-30 Bengals
Lions and Cowboys (-7):
Even before they were shut out by the Patriots, the Lions had no problem scoring. They’re coming off a bye week as the Cowboys have already shown they’re not invincible with Cooper Rush at quarterback, though Dak Prescott is now almost certain to pick up the ball. Lions 28-30 Cowboys
Colts en Titans (-2.5):
The Titans are coming off a well-deserved rest and that will be enough to get past Indianapolis. Colts 20-24 Titans
Packers (-5.5) en Commanders:
A few days ago Ron Rivera complained that his quarterback was behind the rest of the NFC East, because now he must eat his words because he lost Carson Wentz for four weeks. Packers 28-14 Commanders
Buccaneers (-10.5) en Panthers:
The Buccaneers have lost three of their last four meetings and have become a boring team. Tom Brady is far from the middle of the league, but even with these problems they are much more than Carolina. Buccaneers 24-10 Carolina
Giants at Jaguars (-3):
It is surprising that Jacksonville comes out as the favorite despite stringing three losses in a row. Brian Daboll has kept the Giants’ offense productive despite injuries. Giants have made New York celebrate once more and they will do it for one more Sunday. Giants 21-20 Jacksonville
Browns en Ravens (-6.5):
Baltimore has lost three games by four points or fewer. They have overcome advantages of more than 10 points. They are better than his 3-3 record. Browns 20-27 Ravens
Texans a Raiders (-7):
The Raiders with four losses seem to have ended their season, but they are not as bad a team as their record indicates. Both organizations are coming off a bye week. Texans 17-24 Raiders
Seahawks en Chargers (-6.5):
After surviving on Monday Night once morest the Broncos, now the Chargers are measured at home with a rival that has surprised, but is one step below their talent. Seahawks 20-28 Chargers
Steelers en Dolphins (-7):
Last week’s win over the Buccaneers is sure to continue to be celebrated in Pittsburgh, but it’s time to look ahead and there’s nothing but a better defense there. Tua Tagovailoa returns as Miami’s starter, I don’t know if that’s good or bad, but it is what it is. Steelers 14-21 Dolphins
