Patrick Mahomes and Kirk Cousins will meet on the f

ootball field for the first time in 2019. They squared off this weekend as basketball-team hype men Football Nick Allegretti Jersey , and the end result was Mahomes 1, Cousins 0.Cousins spoke at a Michigan State pep rally on Friday night, in advance of Saturday’s semifinal game against Texas Tech. Mahomes, the NFL’s 2018 MVP, spoke to Texas Tech’s team on Saturday afternoon, hours before tipoff.“It was great,” redshirt senior Norense Odiase said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. “He was excited. You could see his blood rushing Mecole Hardman Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys , veins popping. He was turnt. Travis Kelce was there as well. It was a blessing to have those guys come.”“He came in our film session, and he said he’s proud of us,” sophomore guard Davide Morettitold Cronin. “We did something that nobody [at Texas Tech] has done before. He was cheering for us, and he said that we’ve got this because he knows how hard we play and how hard we’ve worked for it. He’ll cheer his butt off for us.”And it worked. The Red Raiders will play in the championship game for the first time ever on Monday night, against Virginia. Mahomes surely will be there again, cheering his butt off in the stadium where Cousins plays his home football games — as few as five months before Mahomes squares off against Cousins in the stadium where Mahomes plays his home football games. Last week: 5-8-1Weeks 1 through 6: 42-44-4Last week wasn’t the best of weeks. Time to get back over the .500 mark…Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5) vs. Tennessee (London)The Chargers were quite impressive last week in Cleveland and seem to be hitting their stride. The Titans, well, they must protect Marcus Mariota a little better if they want to hang in this one.Regardless Kansas City Chiefs Jerseys 2019 , hopefully this game will be a better showing for the London fans than Seahawks-Raiders was last week.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (-6.5)</em>Indianapolis (-7.5) vs. BuffaloThis game feels like it will be a struggle for both sides. For the Bills, Derek Anderson is an upgrade over Nathan Peterman, but that’s not exactly a compliment. Running backs do flourish in the passing game against the Colts defense, so keep an eye on LeSean McCoy.<em>Pick: Buffalo (+7.5)</em>Philadelphia (-5) vs. CarolinaEagles are 13-2 in their last 15 home games and are coming off of a thrashing of the Giants last Thursday night. They should come out fresh and ready to go.<em>Pick: Philadelphia (-5)</em>Tampa Bay (-3.5) vs. ClevelandIf you take away last week’s blowout loss, the Browns have been in every single game they’ve played in this season. I’d expect this one to be no different. Both Baker & Jameis have big days.<em>Pick: Cleveland (+3.5)</em>Detroit (-3) vs. MiamiIt is slated to be 88 degrees with 69% humidity on Sunday in Miami, and the Dolphins are 3-0 at home so far this season. They also have Kenyan Drake & the ageless Frank Gore to wear down a poor Lions run D.<em>Pick: Miami (+3)</em>Jacksonville (-4) vs. HoustonI honestly am not sure what to think of Jacksonville right now. I’ll take them here, though, as they’ll come out with an edge after being humiliated in Dallas last Sunday.<em>Pick: Jacksonville (-4)</em>Minnesota (-3.5) vs. New York JetsHow good is Adam Thielen?? With another 100 yards receiving this week 2019 Mecole Hardman Kansas City Chiefs , he would tie the NFL record with seven consecutive 100-yard games to begin a season. He is also on pace to break the single-season NFL record for catches. Not bad for a UDFA.<em>Pick: Minnesota (-3.5)</em>New England (-2.5) vs. ChicagoMitch Trubisky is a different QB at home (in a good way), but the Patriots offense is rolling right now.<em>Pick: New England (-2.5)</em>Baltimore (-2.5) vs. New OrleansDrew Brees has beaten every single NFL team in his career….. except the Ravens. Coming off a bye, he gets that W here.<em>Pick: New Orleans (+2.5)</em>Washington (-1) vs. DallasDallas is 0-3 on the road. Washington has beat some good teams at home. I’ll take Washington.<em>Pick: Washington (-1)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-9.5) vs. San Francisco9.5 points is a lot for a division game on the road. The Rams stay unbeaten, but it will be closer than some think.<em>Pick: San Francisco (+9.5)</em>Kansas City (-6) vs. CincinnatiThe Chiefs may have lost against the Patriots, but I’m sold on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense. They will score in bunches on Sunday Night & the Bengals won’t be able to keep up.<em>Pick: Kansas City (-6)</em>Atlanta (-4) vs. New York GiantsI mean, we’ve seen better Monday Night matchups.<em>Pick: Atlanta (-4)</em>
