Week 5 Picks

This last week has been my best week for picks of the year easily. I posted a strong 14-1 record to get me out of my .500 slump. We're getting a better feel for each team and figuring out which teams look elite, and which ones are fake.

Cardinals vs Rams - The Cards are the surprise of the year, the Rams are playing much better as well though. The Cardinals win, but its close. Cardinals win.

Dolphins vs Bengals - Both teams are hard to get a read on. Sometimes they play great, other times they can't hold a lead. I like Andy Dalton at QB for the Bengals, so I guess I take them. Bengals win.

Packers vs Colts - The Packers offense is slowly getting back to last years form, adn the defense has been better, especially against the run. The Colts have a bright future, but Sunday will be a tough game. Packers win.

Ravens vs Chiefs - The Ravens keep trying to prove to us that they aren't the Ravens of old that lose games they should win, and this is a perfect trap game for them. Playing on the road in a tough stadium. However, the Chiefs defense is bad and the Ravens offense is clicking. Ravens win.

Falcons vs Redskins - The Falcons squeezed out a win over the Panthers, but they still look like the team to beat in the NFC and possibly the NFL. Falcons win.

Browns vs Giants - The defending champs lost a close game to the Eagles, and should be looking to silence any critics by beating up on the lowly Browns.

Eagles vs Steelers - The Steelers are coming off of their bye, and hopefully for them their starters on defense are ready to go. The Eagles played tough defense against the Giants on Sunday. It should be a good game with the younger Eagles winning. Eagles win.

Seahawks vs Panthers - The Seahawks are a confusing team, beating the Packers two weeks ago, but losing to the Rams last week(and ruining my chance for a perfect week). Its offense vs defense and I'm going with offense this time. Panthers win.

Bears vs Jaguars - The Bears looked good on Monday and the Jags are still hopelessly rebuilding. Bears win.

Titans vs Vikings - Minnesota has been a big surprise this year, playing tough defense and winning close games. Nothing should change this week, Vikings win.

Broncos vs Patriots - I'm not sure what to think of the Pats so far, they are 2-2 with wins against the Titans and Bills. The Broncos always dig themselves into a whole early on. This game can go either way, but in the Brady-Manning rivalry I've always chosen Brady, so Patriots win.

Bills vs 49ers - Unless the Niners fall apart like they did against the Vikings two weeks ago, it'll be an easy win against the injured Bills. 49ers win.

Chargers vs Saints - Rivers vs Brees. Brees is the better QB(by far), but Rivers has a better team and an actual coach around him. My sad Saints keep losing close games, but with the Chargers playing well it will be a long night in New Orleans. Chargers win.

Texans vs Jets - Houston is rolling, and the Jets are confused and look like they are on the verge of needing to rebuild. Texans win.

Last Week's Record - 14-1
Season 38-15
