I can hardly believe it myself but we’re already a third of the way through the football season and what a wild season it’s been. Despite how crazy this season has been, we’re starting to get a sense for what teams are frauds and which ones are contenders. As a result we’re starting to figure things out here at Bick’s Picks and after a 3-1 Week 6 we’re back to .500 on the season. Last week we were Broncos backdoor cover away from a perfect week as our Over, Lock and Drake Maye Parlay all hit. For this week against my better judgment and because I’m on vacation and too lazy to come up with something else clever, the TD Triducken is back. My lack of creativity and apprehensions about the TD parlay aside I definitely see some wins on this slate of games so let’s get into it.

Life’s Too Short to Bet the Under

Seahawks @ Falcons (51.5)

Breaking my rule again this picking a total over 50 but hey rules were made to be broken right? Admittedly both teams give me pause because of my own biases but I can’t deny both have shown they’re capable of putting up points. Seattle has scored 20 or more in each of their games so they should cover their half. Meanwhile Kirk has Atlanta cooking hitting the Over each time during their 3 game win streak. I don’t which of these teams comes out on top but I’m betting it’s a shootout.

Over 51.5

Fade Dawgs

Chiefs(+2) @ 49ers

I’m going to spare you the Thanos quotes and comparisons to Brady because I’m sure you guys got enough of those during their Super Bowl run last season. But simply put I can’t pass up a chance to bet Mahomes as a dawg. Coupled with the fact Kyle Shanahan and the Fraudy Niners like to find ways to throw away games in the 2nd half I had to roll with the Chiefs. 

Chiefs +2 (-112)

Touchdown Triducken

Anytime TD Parlay: James Cook, Kyren Williams, Brian Robinson Jr

I won’t pretend like I’m super confident with these picks because the TD Triducken hasn’t hit all season but even a blind squirrel finds a nut eventually. Cook, Kyren and BRob are the bellcow backs for their heavily favored squads so they should find the endzone right? Right?!? Fingers crossed they do but follow at your own risk and here’s hoping the “safe” play pays off.

Anytime TD Triducken: James Cook, Kyren Williams, Brian Robinson Jr (+387)

Bick’s Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week

Commanders Team Total: Over 34.5 (+164)

Jayden Daniels. Need I say more? I suppose I should but in short I expect JD5 and company to score points in bunches so I’m picking a team total instead of a spread. Carolina is arguably the worst team in football and has been giving up at least 34 points in 4 of their 6 games. Sure you can get 31.5 at -102 but screw that fortune favors the bold! Is bold the right word? Either way I’m betting Washington will score and get a win to celebrate Darrell Green’s number retirement.

Commanders Team Total: Over 34.5 (+164)
