Week 5 picks

Well last week our team went 13-1 bringing the season's tally to 57-5!

This weeks overall analysis:

Many experts see this week as a reasonably easy week for picking. That is where they make their biggest mistake! There are some real sneaky games hidden in there, and we generally snuff them out!!!

Here are this weeks picks!

Cincinnati goes into Baltimore with Baltimore reeling from a loss in Bean town. Look for the Ravens to be ready for this one....it will be close but the Bengals will pull it off late in the game. Cedric Benson shows why he is one of the top backs in the league.

Pick

Oakland visits the NY Football Giants. This one won't even be close. Jamarcus Russel is one of the biggest draft busts ever.

Pick

Dallas visits KC in a real battleground called Arrowhead Stadium. Our team is looking to KC tp perform well. Tony Romo struggles to close out a game, and Matt Cassel and Larry Johnson have it rolling in KC. Take Dallas in a tight one.

Pick

Washington migrates down to Carolina with a suspect record. Our panel sees that as not changing this week. Carolina is looking for a win and they will get it. Delhomme gets it done this week.

Pick

Minnesota goes into St Louis on a short week but that won't matter. The Rams are beat up at QB and have no real weapons. The Vikes take this one easy, but make it look hard as they will take this team lightly.

Pick

Tampa Bay takes the pirate ship into the city of brotherly love look to show no love for the Eagles. Donovan McNabb will be back having recovered from that fractured rib. This one should not even be close.

Pick

Pittsburgh heads up to Detroit in a non event game. Culpepper will start with Matt Stafford out with a bad knee. Look for about a 20 pt victory.

Pick

Cleveland heads to Buffalo in a yawner. Expect Trent Edwards and Terrell Owens to start clicking but it won't be enough. The predicted cold weather favors the Bills. It should be close, but Cleveland showed spark last week and the Bills are still , well, bad.

Pick

Atlanta goes cross country to San Fransisco. Atlanta will get it done after the bye week and they show why SF is not as good as their record. That is what happens when all you do is beat weaker divisional opponents.

Pick

Houston going into Arizona. The birds are coming off the bye week and that should give the old man Kurt Warner a good rest. Matt Schaub is really clicking with Andre Johnson and Steve Slaton has to break out. Should be high scoring.

Pick

New England rolls into Denver on a high just in time to let the fans at Mile High Stadium know that Broncos perfect season is about to end. The Bronco's defense is one of the best in the league but never go against Brady when he is on a roll! Wes Welker is back, and Moss really shines against tough defenses. Look for a closer game than people think and the only way that Denver has a chance in this one is the turnover factor. Belichik lets McDaniels know who the master is and who the apprentice is.

Pick

Jacksonville goes cross country to Seattle in what should be a Jags loss. Hasselbeck will be ready returning from sore ribs and Quest field is a tough place for visiting teams. Even though it is an outdoor stadium, it was engineered to be LOUD! Jim Mora understands the Jaguar system and will have the Hawks really ready for this one. Maurice Jones-Drew is in a slump and a suitcase weekend never helps struggling players. Look for Arron Curry to eat up David Garrard this week. It could be a close one for three quarters, but the Seahawks come out with 2 pts.

Pick

Indianapolis moves a little south to Tennessee for some southern hospitality. They are not good guests and Peyton Manning puts on a clinic. He is firing on all cylinders and although Dwight Freeney is banged up, the defense really looks solid for the Colts. Kerry Collins is showing signs of age and is no Brett Favre. Smash and Dash are done too with Lendale White losing 20 lbs this year. Indy takes this one easily with Peyton taking a rest in the fourth quarter.

Pick

Those New York Jets slide back down south for a battle with Miami. This is a Monday night beaut! Look for Mark Sanchez to struggle against a big pass rush with Porter and Taylor pressuring from opposite sides of the line. Chad Henne will do better this week in directing the Dolphins and the Wild Cat. It could be a fun game with Rex Ryan's defensive schemes vs that Wild Cat Offense!
