2022 NFL week 6 picks plus NFL week 5 pick results – Callous Mind Talking Head Sports Cast

A dagger in the heart loss for the Raiders in week 5 but I know for sure they will not lose in week 6 since they have a bye. Hopefully they return from their bye week ready to kick ass, take names and take their rightful spot atop the AFC West.

Yes, I’m talking a lot of shit here but it’s my website and I can do that! Have a great week!

2019-2020 National Football League (NFL) record predictions

I, Callous Mind am predicting the Oakland Raiders will make the playoffs in the 2019 NFL, National Football League season. I could be doing this because I’m a longtime member of Raider Nation or because I’m delusional. Either way you’re going to hear it here first, the Oakland Raiders are going to make the playoffs by winning nine games in the 2019 – 2020 NFL season.

I am also predicting 2 teams from the NFC North will make the playoffs this season and one popular team from the NFC North will miss the playoffs for a second straight season. The teams I am predicting will make the playoffs from the NFC North are the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings.

I am also predicting the union of Kliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray will prove dynamic and fruitful. Kyler Murray will stay healthy all year long, the Arizona Cardinals will cure their offensive line woes and the Arizona Cardinals will win at least 7 games in the 2019 – 2020 National Football League season.

Raiders Trade Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears

Since the Khalil Mack trade there has been a lot of hullabaloo about the terrible decision the Raiders made in trading him as if he was a huge contributing factor to a league best defense or even a top 10 defense.

I am not going to sit here and completely dismiss what Khalil brings to the field. He is an outstanding player who arguably outplayed his contract but still had one year remaining nonetheless.

I have heard many talking heads pontificate on many possible reasons for this trade, the commonality with them all is they seem to agree this was a bad decision on the Raider’s part. While I will openly admit I’m not in love with the idea of trading your best defensive player, I can see this from a business point of view.

If Khalil wasn’t going to play this season without getting a new contract then all signs pointed toward him not playing at all this year for the Raiders. This means that he was already absent before he was traded and this season isn’t about the past it’s about right now and the future.

Therefore if he wasn’t going to play the final year of his existing contract and they didn’t want to tie up ninety million dollars guaranteed to one player on a troubled defense then it’s pretty obvious they made the right decision.

I personally think the Derek Carr extension was given too soon. Did you see the game last night? DC threw three interceptions and one was returned for a touchdown, also known as a pick six. Derek Carr has been hurt which he can’t help but he needs to make better decisions with the football, especially late in games.

Truthfully the Derek Carr contract extension makes the Alex Smith contract with the Redskins look like a bargain. I’m getting a little off topic here so I digress.

My point really is this. I wish the Raiders had the money to retain Mack but I’m not sure it’s a smart business decision to tie up $90 million guaranteed in one defensive player when your defense isn’t collectively ranked in top 5 of the league. I do believe that if Khalil wanted to play for the Raiders he would still be playing for the Raiders.

Maybe they have the money and maybe they don’t but either way I agree, albeit reluctantly with their decision.

The value of what the Raiders received in return for Khalil Mack remains to be seen and won’t be realized for a couple of years. I know this for sure, both the Raiders and Bears are 0 and 1, with and without Khalil Mack.
