Week 5 Picks

Going into week 4 I thought for sure I had all winning picks. But after watching Seattle blow it with a missed field goal and the Chiefs blowing a HUGE lead I knew I was in for a long Sunday. But I did manage to pull of 9 out of 14 wins but I expected to do much better.

Week 5 compared to week 4 doesn't seem any easier.

Ravens at Lions
Both of these offenses look suspect so I'm going with the better defense squad. I'm going with the Ravens.

Tampa Bay at Jets
Vinny.. Vinny.. Vinny.. From the couch at home to the field in N.Y. Welcome back to the NFL and a 0-1 start. Tampa Bay remains undefeated.

Dolphins at Bills
Buffalo is ranked 2nd to last in total offense and 5th from the bottom on defense. Goodbye "Lost"man hello Holcomb. Hey Holcomb you wanna ask Vinny to save you a seat on the 0-1 couch? Dolphins.

Titans at Texans
Here is my upset of the day in the game feating the bottom of the barrels in the AFC South. Go Houston.

Bears at Browns
Cleveland is 1-2 and at the bottom of their division. Chicago is 1-2 and at the top of their division. Talk about a bizzaro world. You wanna know a bizzaro world.. I'm actually going to pick the Browns.

Patriots at Falcons
Week 4 Daunte gets sacked 9 times by the Atlanta D. Week 5 Brady gets sacked ___ times by the Atlanta D. Anyone wanna guess? Patriots lose 2 straight for the first time in years. Falcons at home.

Saints at Packers
Congrats Favre the losing streek is over. If you can't beat the Saints it's time to find another team. Packers.

Seahawks at Rams
Two of Seattle's best WRs will probably not play in St Louis. That makes Alexander a target. Rams at home.

Colts at 49ers
Who's going to stop the best team in the NFL. It won't be the 49ers. Alex Smith gets his first NFL start this week. Against the Colts!!! Colts = 5-0

Redskins at Broncos
It's time for the fairy tale to end and what a better place for it to stop... IN DENVER!! A very good D vs a not so good O. Easy pick. Broncos.

Panthers at Cardinals
Hey McCown this isn't Mexico City and this isn't the 49ers. Welcome back to reality. Panthers.

Eagles at Cowboys
T-O and D-Nab are both hurt and Akers can't kick. But somehow they play like nothing is wrong. The Ws continue for the Eagles in Week 5.

Bengals at Jaguars
Bengals 4-1 is still pretty impressive. Bengals 5-0?? Somebody wake me up because I'm dreaming. Jacksonville gets the nod.

MNF
Steelers at San Diego
The Chargers are definitely hot but right now Pittsburgh is the team to beat. The bus and Staley will probably get introduced back into the offense this week so I expect a high scoring game with Pitt getting the win.
