Predictions for Week 5

Alrighty now, Last week I was 11-3, putting me at 34-12 for the season.  I'm pretty good at this. Let's try aonther round.


CIN at BAL Winner: BAL

While a tighter game than thought of in the preseason, Baltimore's defense will stuff the Bengals offense enough for the Ravens to pull out the victory.
CLE at BUF Winner: BUF

Cleveland traded away thier best offensive player and has little conitnuity on either offense or defense. Thier solid performance against Cincinnati last week raises some questions, however the Bills are the better team. This game should help in building the Bills momentum.
WAS vs. CAR Winner: WAS

For all of the faults Washington has had on bothsides of the ball, the Redskins have been able to pressure the Quarterback a bit more consistently than the Panthers. With Jake Delhomme playing as poorly as he has this season, that pressure and a ball-hawk like DeAngelo Hall leads to a win for the Redskins.

PIT vs. DET Winner: PIT

Detriot faces thier second straight strong team in as many weeks sionce thier first win in two years. The Steelers are better in almost every facet, they should win in a blowout.


DAL at KC Winner: DAL

Kansas City is playing hard, but still not succeeding. Dallas has a strong running game and will likely gash the Chiefs defense. Keep an eye out for an upset, but not too closely.


OAK at NYG Winner: NYG

Oakland hasn't played as well as they did week 1, the Giants have. David Carr is a competent back-up who can burn that secondary. A blowout.

TB at PHI Winner: PHI

Tampa Bay is one of the worst teams in the NFL. The Eagles are getting thier franchise QB back and have a good number of weapons to use. Another Blowout.

MIN at STL Winner: MIN

Minnesota will run through the hurt and transitioning Rams defense and the Rams offense won;t threaten too much. This is yet another blowout in the making.

ATL at SF Winner: ATL

This is gonna be good. The excellent defense of the 49ers against the power running game and precise passing of the Falcons offense. Ultimately, I think that the Falcons defense will keep field position and limit the points of the 49ers, especially if Frank Gore isn;t there.


HOU at ARI Winner: HOU

Simple logic. Mario Williams is an excellent pass-rusher and the Cardinals have had trouble monitering the pass-rush. Houston wins in a close one.

NE at DEN Winner: NE

A toss up. I'm Ultimately giving it to New England because the defensive scheme is the real McCoy when it gets going, like it did last week.

JAC at SEA Winner: JAC

Jacksonville has gotten better each week and they now face a struggling, injury plagued Seattle team. I expect there to be a large difference in points. Jacksonville wins in a blowout.

IND at TEN Winner: IND

Indianapolis is a much better team in every aspect than the Titans. This is a blowout.

NYJ at MIA Winner: NYJ

In spite of what was seen against the Bills, the Dolphins were aided by the lack of three defensive back starters when they played the Bills. Braylon Edwards will be the main target of Sanchez with Jerricho Cotchery unlikely to play. Also look at Dustin Keller, Fantasy owners. The Jets should win this game.

  1. Nice job on the picks this week...I only got 8 right, so I guess we both kind of suck lol
    Tough picks that week for sure, although I think that with Hasselbeck Seattle will do a TON better. MIAMI? WOW. Gashed that D on Monday night, and wtf was happening in the Browns-Bills Game? Did either game get outta bed that morning? lol
