Picks Week 5

In an effort to get these out quickly, I'll be foregoing any comments for the time being. Check back for details.

Tennessee at Baltimore- can anyone stop the Nashville steamroller? Not this week.
Kansas City at Carolina- Kansas City found a hole last week and ran all over Denver's defense. Carolina will have watched plenty of tape and will make sure that doesn't happen to them.
Chicago at Detroit- Detroit continues its hapless season against a surprising 2-2 Chicago. It's all defense, baby.
Atlanta at Green Bay- After a disappointing loss to Tampa Bay, Green Bay will be out for revenge against an NFC South Rival. This game would've been sort of significant were Favre still in place.
Indianapolis at Houston- After a much needed early bye-week, Indy's going to look to climb back on top of their division and regain control of the AFC. Houston will continue a winless season where they SHOULD be winning games. It'll happen guys, it'll happen.
San Diego at Miami- LT should run all over these guys. Can Ronnie Brown bring home an upset? Probably not.
Seattle at New York Giants- This one's a virtual lock. New York just looks too sweet these days. Seattle, on the other hand, is miserable.
Washington at Philadelphia-This is the toughest pick, on the other hand.
Tampa Bay at Denver- Denver showed their weakness to the run last week against a poor, poor Kansas City team. Tampa Bay doesn't have the best running game, but then again Denver has one of, if not THE worst pass defenses in the NFL. I think it's time to come crashing back to Earth, boys.
Buffalo at Arizona- Still waiting on that Buffalo loss. If they win this game, which wouldn't be very hard, they will be a serious contender and a deep playoff threat. Who saw that coming?
Cincinnati at Dallas- I do hope to see Chad Johnson kiss the star, but he just gave the Dallas D a lot of motivation to shut his confidence down. Even if they do score, the Cincy D can't keep up with the offensive juggernaut in Dallas.
New England at San Francisco- But I'll be rooting the other way. I still dislike New England. Sorry, guys.
Pittsburgh at Jacksonville- A horrible offensive line and a patchwork running game spells bad news for the typically steady Pittsburgh.


If you assign a point system in your pool, Cincinnati at Dallas should be given the highest amount of points, followed by Atlanta at Green Bay, and then Seattle at NYG. Lowest points should be assigned to Washington at Philly, Arizona at Buffalo, and Minnesota at New Orleans.
