NFL Week 6 Results

From "terrible" week to "not great, but I've seen worse" week -- eight right, seven wrong. I remain in the 65.xth percentile on among players of ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em game. My picks, labeled green for correct, red for incorrect:

• Philadelphia Eagles beat New York Giants
• Denver Broncos beat New York Jets
• Indianapolis Colts beat Arizona Cardinals
• Los Angeles Chargers beat Miami Dolphins
• Pittsburgh Steelers beat Cleveland Browns
• Dallas Cowboys beat Carolina Panthers
• Jacksonville Jaguars beat Seattle Seahawks
• Los Angeles Rams beat Baltimore Ravens
• New England Patriots beat New Orleans Saints
• Tennessee Titans beat Las Vegas Raiders*
• San Francisco 49ers beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
• Green Bay Packers beat Cincinnati Bengals
• Kansas City Chiefs beat Detroit Lions*
• Buffalo Bills beat Atlanta Falcons
• Washington Commanders beat Chicago Bears

Of my three "upset" picks (where I differed from the majority of the ESPN game's players), only one panned out ... and the only reason I picked the Chiefs to beat the Lions is that I always pick the Chiefs to beat anyone. While I wasn't surprised to see the Chiefs finally start pulling rabbits out of hats for this season, it wasn't the pick I would have made on a sober assessment of likelihoods from the two teams' performances leading into the game.
