Is Kansas City’s Season Doomed? Clay Travis Unpacks a Shocking NFL Decline

Alright, let’s cut to the chase—last week’s 3-4 skid dropped us to a disappointing 14-20 on the NFL season. Not exactly headline-making stuff, right? Honestly, it stings a bit, especially when we’re crushing it in college football picks but find ourselves a step behind on the OutKick Six Pack. Makes you wonder—can a seasoned vet like me turn the tide and crank out a solid seven winners this weekend to get back in the game? Well, buckle up, because that’s exactly what’s on the docket. From the winless Jets fumbling to the quietly surging Steelers, and a handful of underdogs ready to prove their mettle, this weekend promises highs, lows, and enough twists to keep your bets buzzing. Think the Lions can pull off an upset against the Chiefs? Or will the Bucs’ fireworks steal the show? Stick with me—this baker’s dozen of picks isn’t just hope; it’s strategy in motion. Ready to roll? Let’s dive in and make those winning calls count. LEARN MORE.

We went 3-4 last week to run our season record to 14-20 in the NFL so far.

No sugar-coating it, that’s not good.

At all.

Now the college football picks? Well, they’ve been great so far, but we are struggling with the OutKick Six Pack.

Which means it’s time to step up our picks with seven winners this weekend.

So here we go:

The Jets are the NFL’s only winless team, but they’ve actually shown some measure of success on offense.

The problem has been the defense so far.

Meanwhile, the Broncos are starting to stack wins and the offense is showing flashes. I’m betting those flashes turn into full-blown offensive firepower against the Jets this weekend.

Give me the over here and be sure and get your bets in early because this is a London game!

Quietly, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers are stacking wins in the AFC North.

On the other hand, the Steelers, in trading Joe Flacco, essentially waved the white flag on the season and let us all know that they are now in the first pick sweepstakes.

It’s the 41st different quarterback for the Browns since 1999, but none of that matters the Steelers win by double digits in a low-scoring affair.

The Chargers have health issues on the offensive line, but they aren’t awful like the Dolphins, who have issues all over the field.

Give me Justin Herbert and the Chargers getting the road win and sending the Dolphins into even more of a tailspin.

Mike Vrabel has already changed the culture of the Patriots.

Now, coming off a huge road win over the Bills, he has to show that his team can win the games they’re supposed to win.

I think they can.

Pats by a touchdown here against a competitive Saints squad.

Last week the Cardinals gave away a win against the Titans. This week I’m betting the Raiders won’t make that same mistakes.

Because the more you look at that one point win by the Titans, the crazier it looks.

The Raiders get to two wins in a battle of bad teams and the Titans continue to flounder.

Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay are one of the most fun teams to watch in the NFL.

On the flip side, Kyle Shanahan may just be the best coach in the NFL as long as he isn’t in the Super Bowl. Get ready for offensive pyrotechnics that ends in a Bucs victory by a touchdown, giving us yet another win.

The wrong team is favored here.

I know, I know, the Chiefs are the Chiefs and their offense has started to play with panache, but the Lions have been playing phenomenal offensive football over the past several weeks and that continues at Arrowhead.

The Lions win outright as a road underdog.

…

There you have it, boys and girls, a baker’s dozen of winners for our NFL six pack.
