Zac's Backs: Week 6 NFL Picks

Welcome back to the only NFL picks on Associated Content that just can't seem to get past ten wins! This is the week 6 edition of Zac's Backs.

That's right, sports fan. Another ten win week (10-4) for yours truly puts me in the "nothing if not consistent" bracket yet again. Don't get me wrong. Having an overall winning percentage of 66% isn't anything to be ashamed of. I'd just like to do a little better at least one time before the season is over.

This is the week where my two favorite teams/sports cities face off against one another. Of course, it also just happens to be the Monday night game. Which side will I choose? Read on to find out.

Baltimore at Indianapolis

The Ravens will take a 27-3 lead into the fourth quarter. Peyton Manning will throw a 79 yard touchdown early in the quarter to make it 27-10. On the next Baltimore possession, Ravens QB Joe Flacco will be spun around and throw the ball out of his own end zone (27-12). The Colts will then run the kickoff back to the Baltimore one yard line, then kick a field goal after losing 4 yards in three offensive plays (27-15). After a Baltimore three and out, the Colts will run the punt back for a touchdown and get the two-point conversion (27-23). With less than a minute to go, the Colts will recover the onside kick. Then, on the final play of the game, Peyton Manning will run 50 yards for the game winning score.

Seriously.

Winner: Colts

Detroit at Minnesota

Gus Frerotte. Go figure. By the way, anytime Adrian Peterson wants to start helping out my fantasy football team, I'm fine with it. Just putting it out there.

I know that the Lions are going to win a game eventually. I just can't see myself picking them once this season.

Winner: Minnesota

Oakland at New Orleans

Reggie Bush pushed me to two fantasy football wins in week 5. There could be an argument made that the Saints lost the Monday night game as much as the Vikes won it. To pick the Raiders to win, you have to believe that the Saints will make similar mistakes and Oakland will be good enough to capitalize.

Not so much.

Winner: New Orleans
