Week 5 NFL Picks

San Antonio is still in the lead by two, but I plan on overtaking him shortly. Baby Girl is still trying to make up ground.

I have to say, I did a lot better last week. word. I am just taking it one week at a time, giving a lot of thought into each prediction and sticking to my guns 110%.

Alright, so lets go around this weeks match ups.

Sunday's Games:

Browns @ Bills

This one is going to be a tough one to call. I originally liked the Bills at first, but after getting their asses handed to them by the Dolphins, they seem to be in a little rut. Will they come out of it? That is the question. The Browns have problems though, but I think they are further on the suck meter. The Bills will have a tough time, but I think T.O. may smile after this is said and done.

Steelers @ Lions

Steelers still don't look that great. They look ok, but that is it. I may be the only person saying this, but I think it is time for that team to begin to panic a little bit. Should they be scared of Lions? I think so. I think the Lions have already made this season successful by winning one game. They have nothing to lose now as the suck fairy is making an appearance in St. Louis. I think the Lions are going to put up a fight, and I think they are going to win. Steelers won last week and I don't think they are going to take Detroit seriously. I think this will be an upset.

Cowboys @ Chiefs

Speaking of upsets, wouldn't this one be great. I have said the Cowboys are over-rated, but are they so over-rated that they lose to the Chiefs? I am not feeling this one. The Chiefs suck way more than the Cowboys. Don't be surprised if the Cowboys run-a-way with this one. The running of the Boys should but KC in a bind and it may even open up the passing game to make Romo look good and give Cowboys fan hopes that the is still the second coming of Jesus.

Vikings @ Rams

I think I already mentioned the suck fairy is under the Rams pillow right now. I don't see the Vikings having any trouble in this one. If you have Farve as a back up fantasy player, you might want to start him. Him and Peterson are going to have an elementary field day with the Rams.

Raiders @ Giants

Oakland has a problem, they have no passing game. Yup, they are near the same boat as the Cowboys and their running game has suffered because of it. McFadden can't carry that team alone. Giants still look like a decent team. I think they are going on the decline a little bit, but they shouldn't have any problems at home.

Bucs @ Eagles

Eagles are still doing well, and they are going to get Mcnabb and Westbrook back. The Bucs are still drowning and looking for that life persevere ring. To bad they got rid of their lifeguard on duty Jeff Garcia. Eagles should have no problem.

Skins @ Panthers

The Redskins have had a hell of time recently. The Panthers are a decent team and they are coming off a bye week. I like them in this match up, esp. against a Haynesworthless Washington team. haha

Bengals @ Ravens

Ravens are a team that I believe are at the top of their game. Bengals are playing well and this is a divisional rivalry game. Should be good, should be close, and Ochocinco will make it interesting. But I see the Ravens coming out on top.

Falcons @ Niners

Falcons are coming off a bye week too... but they need that rest for the hard hitting Niners. I like the Niners, they are legit. Smash mouth, well coached, beat your face football is what they bring every game. Falcons better be ready for an ass kicking.

Jaguars @ Seahawks

People are on Seattles boat, and I don't know why? Maybe it was the uniforms they wore last week. Jaguars still have some problems of their own though, but I think they will beat the Seahawks.

Houston @ Arizona

The Cardinals are struggling and a 1-2 record shows it. I think they are going to struggle with this one too. The Texans young team just needs a little more direction and they should be solid. The Cards are running on a talent driven team that isn't delivering at the moment.

Patriots @ Broncos

Am I the only one seeing the Pats as only a decent team? Is it going unnoticed that they just signed Junior Seau? They are struggling, and they are trying to keep a winning team intact. Denver on the other hand is probably the least respected team in the league right now. An undefeated record and they are still the underdog in this match up. They are talent driven, and they are have talent. Brandon Marshall won the game for them last week, and I called it! I say they will keep it close and they will win! How could I say this? I think the Pats defense is just as bad as Dallas' defense and they won't be able to make the key stop.

Colts @ Titans

The Colts won't be able to stop the run, but that hasn't stop them from winning yet. Tennessee is in a hole and I don't see them coming out of it this week.

Monday's Game:

Jets @ Dolphins

This division rivalry is second to none. Some of the best Monday night games star these two teams, I and believe me if you watch the game, that statement will be made. It will get old fast, but know you heard it here first. But anyway, the Phins are coming off a commanding win. They look like the Phins of last year. Well coached, good game plan, nothing fancy except some wildcat here and there. The Jets learned they are human last week as the Saints schooled them. The Phins are no Saints, but they weren't last year either and won the division. I think the Phins will continue the momentum and stop the Jets 27-23.

I feel I picked a lot of upsets this week, but that is what my gut tells me. Most of the upsets I picked last week were correct. I think this week should be more of the same.

Birddogger out.
