NFL Week 4 picks

I did alright last week going 4-3 while picking the Browns to end their losing streak and picked a big underdog in the Giants (+230) over the Texans, but I know I can do better overall. I have to stop picking games where I'm not seeing as much info for the game ala the Jags pick last week.

Picking a lot of games this week, there's some games which are more clear reads than others.

September 30th is the 273rd day of the year and leaves 92 days left in the year.

9+30+20+18=77
9+30+2+0+1+8=50
9+3+0+2+0+1+8=23
9+30+18=57
9+30=39

Texans vs Colts

Frank Reich=93
Indianapolis Colts=93 s-exception
Bill O'Brien could get his 39th loss on 9/30

If Andrew Luck wins he'll be on 45 wins and they play New England=45 next week
If Luck wins he'll also stay on 32 losses and he can get #33 next week against Tom=33 and the team from Massachusetts=33

Although this is the 33rd matchup of the two teams so Luck could get his 33rd loss
Bill O'Brien is going for his 33rd overall win

This is a tough one, but I like the narrative of the Colts and Pats winning to setup an interesting TNF matchup next week. The one thing I will caution about is that the line movement is weird, the Colts are only 1 point favorites at home against a winless team and the Colts have been competitive in every game.

Pick: Indianapolis Colts

Bills vs Packers

New York=39, Game is on 9/30

Aaron Rodgers could get 50th loss on day with 50 date numerology, 9+30+2+0+1+8=50

Rodgers is going for his 96th regular season win, Freemason=96, their logo is the G which the Packers wear on their helmet

He's facing Josh Allen=96

Bills can become 1-3 with a loss
This is the 13th meeting between the two teams

Sean McDermott comes into the game at 10-10 overall, with a loss he would be 10-11
McDermott=111
He was hired on 1/11
New York=111
Packers enter this game with a record of 1-1-1
Mike McCarthy's birthday is 11/10

Pick: Green Bay Packers

Buccaneers vs Bears

Bears lead the series 38-20
The Bears can get win #39 on 9/30

Mitch Trubisky will either become 7-9 or 6-10
Tampa Bay=79
79 is the 22nd prime, Tampa Bay would be 2-2 with a loss

Mitch Trubisky=61
61 is the 18th prime, Bears=18

Fitzpatrick can stay on 50 wins on date numerology of 50, 9+30+2+0+1+8=50
And get his 72nd loss against Mitchell Trubisky=72

Pick: Chicago Bears

Dolphins vs Patriots

The date numerology matches up well with Tom Brady:

9+30+20+18=77 (Tom Brady was Born in 77')
9+30+2+0+1+8=50 (Brady=50)
9+3+0+2+0+1+8=23 (Brady=23)

Date numerology of 57, Brady can stay on 57 losses
Brady playing 58 days after birthday, can pick up 58th loss

Tannehill=41, is 40-40 overall, so he either is gonna get his 41st win or loss
Tom Brady is going for his 130th home win, 41 is the 13th prime

The Dolphins lead the series 53-49
Meaning they can get loss #50 on a day with 50 date numerology, 9+30+2+0+1+8=50

Pick: New England Patriots

Eagles vs Titans

Carson Wentz is going for his 20th win, Titans=20
Marcus Mariota can stay on 20 regular season wins
Doug Pederson can get his 23rd win on a date with 23 numerology, 9+3+0+2+0+1+8=23

Whoever loses will be 2-2, Eagles=22

Pick: Philadelphia Eagles

Seahawks vs Cardinals

Russell Wilson going for win #75 against the Arizona Cardinals=75
Russell Wilson would also stay on 36 losses, Cardinals=36

Pete Carroll is going for his 81st win with the Seahawks against the Cardinals=81
And he can stay on 81 losses for his career.
Arizona=39, game is on 9/30
39th matchup between the two teams
Josh Rosen is starting, he was drafted pick #10, Ten=39

Pick: Seattle Seahawks

49ers vs Chargers

Philip Rivers can stay on 93 losses on 9/30

CJ Beathard can become 1-5 with a loss, 49ers=15
This is the 15th meeting between the teams all-time

Anthony Lynn can improve to 11-9 as Chargers coach against Kyle Shanahan=119

Pick: Los Angeles Chargers

Ravens vs Steelers

49th all-time meeting, Steelers=49 S-exception
Mike Tomlin=49

Ben Roethlisberger=92
September 30th leaves 92 days left in the year

Steeler=39
Big Ben=39
Game on 9/30
SNF=39
Mike Tomlin coaching 167 days before his birthday, 167 is 39th prime
Harbaugh=39

Pick: Pittsburgh Steelers

Chiefs vs Broncos

10+1+20+18=49
10+1+2+0+1+8=22 (Broncos can become 2-2)
1+0+1+2+0+1+8=13
10+1+18=29

Patrick Mahomes can become 5-0 with a win
Chiefs=50
The Chiefs can become 4-0
Broncos=40 (reverse)
Undefeated=40/50

The Chiefs are going for their 62nd win against the Broncos
Patrick Mahomes=62

This is tough because of the intertwine between the broncos/chiefs/jets/jaguars the next 2 weeks, If the chiefs win this week I expect them to win next week also, but if they lose they might drop 2 straight. The Broncos will likely be 3-2 after week 5, but it depends on if they win this week or next.

Pick: Kansas City Chiefs

Picks:

Indianapolis Colts (Weird line movement with colts now only being a 1 point favorite)
Green Bay Packers (Lock of the Week)
New England Patriots
Chicago Bears (*Riskiest pick of the week, could go either way with Trubisky's record)
Philadelphia Eagles
Seattle Seahawks
Los Angeles Chargers
Pittsburgh Steelers
Kansas City Chiefs

NFL Week 3 picks

Had a good week last week going 4-2-1 and started this week out 1-0 with the Browns winning, games are a bit tougher this week, but still have a good few games picked out.

September 23rd is the 266th day of the year and leaves 99 days left in the year.

9+23+20+18=70
9+23+2+0+1+8=43
9+2+3+2+0+1+8=25
9+23+18=50

Bills vs Vikings

Minnesota Vikings=201, can become 2-0-1
The Vikings can stay on 390 losses against the team from New York=39

Sean McDermott can become 9-10 with a loss, Vikings=91

Vikings could become 1-1-1 with a loss, New York=111

The narrative isn't that strong for an upset with the bills and the Vikings chance at being 2-0-1 seems highly likely.

Pick: Minnesota Vikings

Giants vs Texans

The Date numerology matches up well with the Giants

9+23+20+18=70 (Giants=70)
9+2+3+2+0+1+8=25 (Giants=25)
The Giants lead the series 3-1, with a win they'd lead it 4-1
QB Matchup is #4 Watson vs #10 Manning
41 is the 13th prime, Eli Manning's birthday is 1/3 and it's 103 days away.

Eli Manning is on 111 regular season wins, New York=111, I don't think he gets off 111 in New York so this game is a good shot at him getting off 111.

The Texans are going for franchise win #111
The Giants could get their 613th loss, 613 is the 112th prime, Houston=112

If Eli Manning wins he'll be on 112 wins, Houston=112
Deshaun Watson drafted Round 1 Pick 12
Watson went on IR last year on 11/2

Bill O'Brien can stay on 31 wins in Houston=31
The game is 31 days before his birthday

I really want to pick the giants this week, so I'm doing it. This just feels like a giants game to me, I feel like Deshaun Watson is gonna get punked this year royally.

Pick: New York Giants

Titans vs Jaguars

9+23+2+0+1+8=43 (Jacksonville=43)

Jaguars=23, playing on the 23rd
The Jaguars can stay on 203 regular season losses
Blaine Gabbert's birthday is 23 days after the game (*Titans haven't announced starter yet with Mariota still hurt)

Marrone in his 21st game with Jaguars, Jaguars going for 21st win against Titans

I wouldn't normally pick this game because of the uncertainty behind whose starting for the Titans, but I'm gonna roll with the Jaguars.

Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars

Broncos vs Ravens

The date numerology matches up well with Joe Flacco and the Ravens

9+23+20+18=70 (Joe Flacco=70)
9+2+3+2+0+1+8=25 (Ravens=25)

The Broncos lead the series 6-5 in the regular season

If Baltimore wins it'll be 6-6 in the regular season, Baltimore Ravens=66
Harbaugh=66

Baltimore leads the series 7-6 all-time including playoffs, if they win it'll be 8-6
Broncos=86
Denver=68
Joe Flacco can stay on 68 career losses

Pick: Baltimore Ravens

Cowboys vs Seahawks

Both teams would be 1-2 if the Seahawks win
Cowboys=102
Seattle is known for their 12th Man
Dak Prescott can get his 12th loss

19th match-up between the two teams
Seattle=19
Cowboys will lead the series 10-9 if the Seahawks win.

Date Numerology of 43, 9+23+2+0+1+8=43
Seattle Seahawks=43
Seahawks in 43rd season
Dallas Cowboys=43
The Cowboys can get their 403rd franchise loss
QB Matchup is #4 Prescott vs #3 Wilson

The Seahawks are going for win #351, 351 is the 26th triangular, this game is on 9/23, last year on 9/23 Trump took on the NFL over the Flag=26
Now think about the Seahawks getting this flag tribute win over America's team.

Pick: Seattle Seahawks

Patriots vs Lions

9/23 is the day that leaves 99 days left in the year
New England=99
Patriot=99
99th NFL Season

Brady is playing 52 days after his birthday, 239 is the 52nd prime

Tom Brady is going for career win #225 on Sunday Night Football=225

There isn't much for the Patriots in terms of alignment other than their 99 season alignment, but the Patriots almost never lose two straight and they just got a huge addition in Josh Gordon.

Pick: New England Patriots

**Also as an aside I'm not picking the Cardinals, but I think they at least keep it close if not upset.

Sam Bradford going into his 83rd game, Football=83
Sam Bradford=47, playing 47 days before his birthday
He's currently on 47 losses

Picks:

Minnesota Vikings
New York Giants (This is the riskiest pick, the 111/112 could go either way)
Jacksonville Jaguars
Baltimore Ravens
Seattle Seahawks
New England Patriots

Jets vs Browns TNF Preview + Pick

I'm putting this game as a separate post since I haven't finished looking at the other games yet.

Jets vs Browns

9+20+20+18=67
9+20+2+0+1+8=40 (TNF=40) (Hue Jackson can stay on 40 losses overall)
9+2+0+2+0+1+8=22
9+20+18=47 (Ohio=47)

September 20th is the 263rd day of the year and leaves 102 days left in the year.
Sam Darnold can become 1-2 with a loss

Browns would be 1-1-1 with a win
New York=111
It's the Browns 1011th regular season game, this seems like a major key to this game to me.

25th/26th match-up browns leads 13-12 including playoffs (12-12 regular season)
Darnold can give browns their 14th win, he wears #14

When the Lions went 0-16 in 2008, they went 644/645 days without a win, or a span of 92 weeks, they ended their losing streak in 2009, this game is on 9/20

I don't like picking the browns generally, but the streak is going to end at some point, and this game is a realistic shot of the streak ending. Even with the browns being favorites this is a risky pick.

A good hedge bet would be to hedge the Jets at +9 in a two team teaser with another team this week because if the Browns win like I think they will it'll probably be a fairly close win.

Pick: Cleveland Browns

Josh Gordon traded to Patriots

Josh Gordon has been traded to the Patriots today on 9/17.

Today can also be written 17/9, 179 is the 41st prime, Tom Brady is 41
Super Bowl=41

Today is the 260th day of the year, the AFC is looking for their 26th Super Bowl win.

Josh Gordon=53
This is the year of Super Bowl 53

Gordon=37
Patriots=37
He was traded 157 days after his birthday, 157 is the 37th prime
37 is the 12th prime, he wore #12 on the Browns, now he'll be catching passes from #12

I have an earlier blog post of how 37 is the number for the Patriots this year:

https://sportsgematria.blogspot.com/2018/08/tom-bradys-41st-birthday-and-his-likely.html

*Patriots can win 37th playoff game in Super Bowl
*Brady would be in his 307th career game.

If Josh Gordon plays on 9/23 he'll be playing in his first game with the Patriots on the day leaving 99 days left in the year.
New England=99
Patriot=99
It's the 99th NFL season

NFL Week 2 picks

Didn't do great last week, went 1-3 on picks, but should get back over .500 this week. Really like this week's games and their coding, it's always tough with week one because you don't quite see the narratives for the season yet.

September 16th is the 259th day of the year and leaves 106 days left in the year.

9+16+20+18=63
9+16+2+0+1+8=36
9+1+6+2+0+1+8=27
9+16+18=43

Vikings vs Packers

Kirk Cousins comes into this game with 27 wins
9+1+6+2+0+1+8=27
Cousins can get his 28th win, Cousins=28
Packers=28
28 days after Cousins birthday
Mike Zimmer either stays on 27 losses or gets loss #28
Mike Zimmer can get win #41
Rodgers=41 Green Bay=41

This game is all about 27 and 28 with Mike Zimmer and Kirk Cousins. They've been playing up the Rodgers injury so it's likely the Vikings win this game and then the Packers win the rematch.

Pick: Minnesota Vikings

Colts vs Redskins

Andrew Luck can get his 47th win in his hometown of DC=47
Luck=47
Luck can stay on 31 overall losses in the 31st matchup of the teams

Jay Gruden can get loss #36 on date numerology of 36, 9+16+2+0+1+8=36

Pick: Indianapolis Colts

Dolphins vs Jets

Tannehill can get his 39th win in New York=39 in his 39th road game
Dolphins can get 51st win against jets, 51 days after Tannehill's birthday, Adam Gase=51
Adam Gase can stay on 16 losses on the 16th
Sam Darnold=101, can become 1-1, New York is the 11th state

Sam Darnold=38 can keep Tannehill on 38 wins, Florida=38, Todd Bowles=38
If the Dolphins lose Tannehill would still be on 38 wins against the Raiders=38 next week.

*This game is the trickiest of the games I'm picking, I could see it going either way, but I like the Dolphins over the jets just slightly.

Pick: Miami Dolphins

Eagles vs Buccaneers

Eagles=49
Ryan Fitzpatrick can stay on 49 wins with a loss

Nick Foles can get his 27th win, 9+1+6+2+0+1+8=27

If the Eagles win they'll be 9-6 in regular season games against the buccaneers, they started the season on 9/6

Pick: Philadelphia Eagles

Chargers vs Bills

Philip Rivers can get his 111th all-time win this week against the team from New York=111
Sean McDermott can become 9-9 in the regular season in the 99th NFL season and 9-10 overall, Los Angeles=109, Rivers=91
91=13th triangular, LA=13

*Nathan Peterman can become 1-3 against LA=13 (*Scratch this since Josh Allen is starting)

Pick: Los Angeles Chargers

Cardinals vs Rams

Jared Goff can get win #13 in LA=13
Sean McVay can get win #13
Sean McVay=103

Pick: Los Angeles Rams

Patriots vs Jaguars

Blake Bortles=41 can pick up his 41st regular season loss against the 41 year old Tom Brady 141 days after his birthday. Tom Brady can also stay on 41 road losses.
The game is 224/225 days before Bortles next birthday, Brady is going for his 225th all-time win

Once again it goes back to why I think Tom Brady will start the season 3-0 and get win #199 against the Detroit Lions in week 3:
