Week 6 Awards

The “I Take Everything Back” Award presented by every ex-boyfriend of Scarlett Johansson - Bob McAdoo. Odell Beckham Jr was a distraction until he caught eight passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns.

The “Help Is On The Way” Award presented by the Power Secure Bucket Truck Team - Geno Smith. If he does slightly above average we get to claim him as Bahamian again.

Week 7

Chicago Bears at

Green Bay Packers

SANNIE: As much as I love Black Ink Crew Chicago and am super excited about the new season, the Bears have only won one game, I have a season to win.

PACKERS over Bears

RENALDO: Ok she’s right. Black Ink Crew Chicago is amazing. Having a quarterback battle between Brian Hoyer and Jay Cutler is not. It’s a Thursday night game, the uniforms will be horrible so will the product on the field...but the home team always wins.

PACKERS over Bears

New York Giants at

Los Angeles Rams

SANNIE: Chal, apparently Odell Beckham Jr is dating Rihanna now. This man really gets around but if he landed with Rhi Rhi, he must be doing something right.

GIANTS over Rams

RENALDO: There’s a battle brewing in the Giants locker room and at some point it’ll spill out onto the field. I’m more interested in OBJ’s sidelined antics with the kicking net, which is actually the most compelling part of their season. Will OBJ and the net take their relationship to the next level?

Will they have a kid? Will another sleazy net infringe on their relationship? Will anyone notice that Jeff Fisher is .500 for the 50th time in his life?

GIANTS over Rams

Minnesota Vikings at

Philadelphia Eagles

SANNIE: I have FULLY caught up with the Vikings!! And I love it! I secretly wish I was born in that era (not really)

VIKINGS over Eagles

RENALDO: I’m all in with the Vikings until Adrian Peterson says otherwise. Just as people start to look at the exit signs on the Carson Wentz bandwagon, he goes up against a possible all time great defence that plays every game like they were upset their team traded a first and fourth round draft pick for Sam Bradford.

VIKINGS over Eagles

Buffalo Bills at

Miami Dolphins

SANNIE: So the Dolphins apparently got skills and if they can’t beat the Steelers they can definitely beat the Bills.

DOLPHINS over Bills

RENALDO: I’m so sick of this team making me believe in them. I was out, I was ready to be done, I was ready to enjoy football objectively...then they had to go ahead and beat the Steelers. Now I have to believe in this team again. Now I’m forced to rationalise how this defence can have that same performance against lesser teams, I’m forced to think that offensive line can actually play. I’ll never get out, not without help.

DOLPHINS over Bills

Cleveland Browns at

Cincinnati Bengals

SANNIE: Seriously? The Browns haven’t won one game? Is this intentional? Is there a prize for being bad?

BENGALS over Browns

RENALDO: The Cavs won the NBA Finals, the Indians are in the World Series...what lies next for the Browns? Lots and lots of Ls.

BENGALS over Browns

Baltimore Ravens at

New York Jets

SANNIE: It seems like the only team the Jets are better than is the Browns. It’s just sad.

RAVENS over Jets

RENALDO: The Jets are moving forward with Geno Smith as the quarterback.

The Jets are moving backward as an organisation.

RAVENS over Jets

New Orleans Saints at

Kansas City Chiefs

SANNIE: The Saints beat up on my Cam last week AND I’m kind of mad I was supposed to be in New Orleans next week…and that got cancelled. So, I hate New Orleans right now (Sorry Buddy).

CHIEFS over Saints

RENALDO: Andy Reid losing weight is unsettling, almost as unsettling as the Saints’ defence.

CHIEFS over Saints

Indianapolis Colts at

Tennessee Titans

SANNIE: Umm I don’t know much about either team, so I’m going to choose the Titans because they’ve lost less games. That’s logical.

TITANS

over Colts

RENALDO: At this point nobody would blame Jim Irsay if he made the Colts offence go play both ways. Make Andrew Luck a linebacker, TY Hilton and Phillip Dorsett defensive backs - what’s the worst that could happen? They give up 35 points instead of their standard 30.

TITANS over Colts

Washington Racial Slurs

at Detroit Lions

SANNIE: I chose Washington last week because of all their help to the Bahamas after the Hurricane Matthew and they actually won. I’m going to continue to ride with them (for now).

RACIAL SLURS

over Lions

RENALDO: Matthew Stafford is having his best season ever... without Calvin Johnson. That makes no sense. It’s like the Redskins being better without RGIII. Never mind, that happened.

LIONS over Racial Slurs

Oakland Raiders at

Jacksonville Jaguars

SANNIE: This is going to hurt me - but I am going to choose the Raiders.

My only reason is because Eddie is actually at this game and he may bring them some luck. (One and one time only Duke of Dowdswell)

RAIDERS over Jags

RENALDO: The Vegas Raiders are on the way. This won’t end well...it can’t end well.

RAIDERS over Jags

San Diego Chargers at

Atlanta Falcons

SANNIE: The countdown is on to Real Housewives!

Are you excited? This season looks like it is going to be EPIC and drama filled.

FALCONS over

Chargers

RENALDO: One thing is certain, the Chargers will be down by four with less than a minute left, Phillip Rivers will leave the exasperated.

FALCONS over

Chargers

ew England Patriots at

Pittsburgh Steelers

SANNIE: The Steelers let the Dolphins beat them, I just can’t with them any more. Oh and Tom Brady.

PATS over Steelers

RENALDO: I’m supposed to get excited about Brady vs. Landry Jones? Even Mr.and Mrs. Jones aren’t excited about this.

PATS over Steelers

Tampa Bay Bucs at

San Francisco 49ers

SANNIE: Boy Donavan, your team isn’t looking to good lately. I am happy about that. Your mouth is too hard. I hope they lose again.

Niners over BUCS

RENALDO: More of this black on black quarterback crime. Right Wing Conservatives love the Niners defence.

BUCS over Niners

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals

SANNIE: Russell Wilson.

SEAHAWKS over Cards

RENALDO: I use all the clichés possible in any conversation about the Cards. It’s a defence mechanism because I can’t understand them. This week I’ll go with “it’s a week to week league. This week the passing game clicks.”

CARDS over Seahawks

Houston Texans at Denver Broncos

RENALDO: This game is messy. For John Elway it’s like watching your ugly ex girlfriend in a bad abusive relationship. You’re happy you dodged that bullet but you still feel bad for her.

BRONCOS over Texans

SANNIE: This one is rough. I don’t want go against Bey but I need a win and I feel like the Broncos will get that done for me.

BRONCOS over Texans
