The Tribune

WEEK 6

Falcons at Saints

RENALDO: Close wins, blowouts, songs named after their stars arising out of the studios in various Atlanta trap houses, trouble in the locker room, awesome uniforms and 785 players with dreadlocks. This Falcons team has it all and the sky is the limit.

FALCONS over Saints

SANNIE:  Is anyone else excited? Real Housewives of Atlanta is starting in three weeks!!! I think the Falcons are just as happy as I am, that’s why they haven’t lost yet!

FALCONS over Saints

Bengals at Bills

RENALDO: The Bills are reeling for a number of reasons, ranging from injuries, to an inexperienced quarterback, to a head coach that’s more consumed with vendettas than he is with game-planning. It’s not so fun when you don’t get to play the Dolphins every week is it? Now Tyrod Taylor has a sprained MCL and EJ Manuel is preparing to face a Bengals team riding off the high of shutting up Richard Sherman. The win against the Seahawks was nice, but shutting up Richard Sherman, that’s priceless.

BENGALS over Bills

SANNIE: So I just realised that Andy Dalton’s hair matches his uniform! Its so cute. I love it.

BENGALS over Bills

Bears at Lions

SANNIE:  A choice between Chicago and Detroit is no choice. I will take the Windy City any day, New Providence isn’t far away from becoming Detroit anyway (if you know what I mean).

BEARS over Lions

RENALDO: Jim Caldwell lost the team, the team has lost the fans, Golden Tate has lost his edge. I think I even heard him apologise this week, which was weird if you know Golden Tate. What this team needs is a layup. This team needs serendipity. This team needs a game where everything breaks right and their awful play is overshadowing by failure of epic proportions. This team needs Jay Cutler to be himself.

LIONS over Bears

Chiefs at Vikings

RENALDO: The starting running back for the Chiefs this week is Charcandrick West. The starting running back for the Vikings is Adrian Peterson. That’s pretty much it.

VIKINGS over Chiefs

SANNIE: So I finally made it to season two of Vikings and I am hooked! Hopefully, they play as good as the series is.

VIKINGS over Chiefs

Washington at Jets

SANNIE: Renaldo is starting to look like Ryan Fitzpatrick since he refuses to shave or cut his hair.  So I guess I will choose the Jets since apparently Renaldo is trying out for the team.

JETS over Washington

RENALDO: I stand firm with Ryan Fitzpatrick. My neck beard builds character. Both these offences struggle so this game will more than likely come down to defence and field position. I was on the fence for this game then I read what Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson had to say about his return this week after serving a four-game suspension for PEDs - “I’m coming to eat.”

JETS over Washington

Broncos at Browns

RENALDO: I don’t know how Josh McCown did it, I just know that there’s no way he does it again. This is lifelong karma if you’re a Browns fan right? A week after 457 yards in a 33-30 win on the road against Baltimore…McCown gets arguably the most feared defence in the league.

BRONCOS over Browns

SANNIE: Peyton Manning obviously has a point to prove this season. (I’ve heard at least three people say that). So I’m going to ride with him.

BRONCOS over Browns

Texans at Jaguars

RENALDO: The best quarterback in Houston is whichever quarterback starts the game on the sidelines with a clipboard in hand. Hoyer to Mallett to Hoyer. Neither one will be the best quarterback in this game. Bill O’Brien has no idea which direction his team is headed in and neither do we. I listened John, this week we’re all Poppin’ Bortles (pause).

JAGS over Texans

SANNIE: Apparently both of these teams aren’t doing so well but Beyonce is from Houston so hopefully the Beyhive will give them some luck.

TEXANS over Jaguars

Dolphins at Titans

RENALDO: Change the Culture. The Titans have blown two straight double-digit leads at home…that culture can stay. But for the Dolphins, change the culture.

DOLPHINS over Titans

SANNIE: My birthday is coming up (even though I am celebrating all month) so for my birthday I will choose the Dolphins for Renaldo. Happy Birthday to me!

DOLPHINS over Titans

Cardinals at Steelers

RENALDO: Is Larry Fitzgerald still fuming from the Cards’ Super Bowl loss to the Steelers? Absolutely. He seems like the kind of reserved guy that would harbour that unreasonable spite. It’s necessary for greatness.

Big Ben is still a few weeks away from returning and the Cardinals are still a juggernaut in the West as long as Carson Palmer is on the field.

In other news, in an effort to get even older, the Cards signed Dwight Freeney this week. This team is so old, Palmer played without his knee brace last week, not because he didn’t need it anymore…he just forgot to pack it. That’s excellent.

CARDS over Steelers

SANNIE: Arizona’s roster is cuter, too many unattractive men on the Steelers. I guess being ugly means that you should play harder but I’m gonna go with cuteness on this one.

CARDS over Steelers

Panthers at Seahawks

SANNIE:  The day has finally come, I have to choose between Russell Wilson and Cam Newton. Sigh, Russell is new to my heart but Cam will forever have it (after my fiancé of course).

PANTHERS over

Seahawks

RENALDO: Infidelity Bowl 2015. If Sannie had the chance, which route would she take? I can’t add much more football analysis to this. It seems too personal. In the end, Jimmy Graham makes the difference. When an All-Pro is this vocal in the media during the week, coaches make a point of getting them involved early and often.

SEAHAWKS over

Panthers

Ravens at 49ers

SANNIE: With all the losing they have been doing, I forgot how cute Colin Kaepernick is. This week is for you, Good luck Colin!

NINERS over Ravens

RENALDO: Better than luck, he’ll be playing the Ravens defence which gave up 457 yards and two touchdowns at home to Josh McCown. McCown connected with NINE different receivers by the way. If Kaepernick doesn’t out do that it’d be easier to just retire by Tuesday right? It’d just be easier on everyone that way. Ray Lewis must be rolling over in his grave.

NINERS over Ravens

Chargers at Packers

SANNIE: Aaron Rodgers is dating Olivina Munn. She is so sexy. Is it OK for me to say about a woman? I don’t care, she is my woman crush (one of them).

PACKERS over

Chargers

RENALDO: This is too perfect to mess with. I mean…let’s just see where this goes. How extensive is the list? Do I know any of them personally? This is bigger than football now.

PACKERS over Chargers

Patriots at Colts

SANNIE: Tom Brady is just so perfect man. Geesh, is there anything he can’t do.

PATRIOTS over Colts

RENALDO:  There’s no way this game ends without blood, dismemberment, shattered hopes and dreams and also possibly 80 combined points. This is the team that blew the whistle on Deflategate. Andrew Luck will be back and the Colts still have a Dorsett. They’re prepared. You’re going to have to accept the fact that the Pats know how to cheat better than everyone else. They go as close to the boundaries without crossing it and will continue to push until they’re reprimanded. Basically Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are kids. The pick plays and rub routes will be the new issue to draw the ire of Patriot haters everywhere.

COLTS over Pats

Giants at Eagles

RENALDO: Every NFC East game seems heavier than it should. No division changes its complexion from week to week like these guys. It seems like yesterday the Giants were 0-2…again and the season looked to be nothing more than another series of highlight reels for Odell Beckham Jr. Eerie that the Giants are in the same exact position they were in last year - three wins in a row following an 0-2 start and facing the Eagles in primetime. The Giants lost that game and went on to lose their next six. This Giants team is better and this Giants team is playing Sam Bradford. Also, this team needs the good karma following the Victor Cruz fallout. Still not cool ladies…still not cool.

GIANTS over Eagles

SANNIE: I chose Peyton so I might as well choose Eli. Keep them together and you know I love New York.
