Week 5 Preview

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ BUFFALO BILLS
Really? You couldn't pay me to watch this game. I could watch better football at a junior high. Jacksonville had a surprise win last week and I think that trend will continue through this week. The Bills are just plain bad but Jacksonville is not much better.

Jacksonville 20, Buffalo 17

Update:
This game was much more action packed than I expected.
Jacksonville 36, Buffalo 26

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS
Both the Buc's and the Bengals are having ups and downs this year. Palmer has the weapons. Will he ever play to the potential that he once did...doubt it. Palmer has had elbow and knee problems since the days of throwing for 4000+ yards and I believe that those days are long over. Josh Freeman has shown glimpse of great football this year but he is not ready to be leading a team. I would look for Terrel Owens and Cedric Benson to have big games. Oh yeah, Cincinnati's defense has been able to shut down majority of great WR's this season...I would look for Cincinnati defense to prove to be the best this week.

Tampa Bay 14, Cincinnati 22

Update:
Like I have been saying...Carson Palmer needs a QB coach to help him progress into a better QB or they need to get a new QB.
Tampa Bay 24, Cincinnati 21

ATLANTA FALCONS @ CLEVELAND BROWNS
Atlanta will come out on top in this game for sure. Atlanta is a very powerful team if they use their resources. Tony Gonzalas is maybe one of the greatest TE's in the league. He has been used sparingly this year. If Atlanta wants to be that playoff team then they need to incorporate him within the game calling. I would look to Matt Ryan to have a very big game this week. The Browns passing defense is marginal.

Atlanta 30, Cleveland 20

Update:
Cleveland played some pretty good ball this week. It looks like they are coming along.
Atlanta 20, Cleveland 10

ST. LOUIS RAMS @ DETROIT LIONS
Hmm...this is must not see TV. The Lions has been robbed, raped and ruined this season. I am looking for the Lions to pull out a victory at home against the surprising St. Louis Ram. This game may surprise us all. Calvin Johnson and Jahvid Best will have amazing games.

St. Louis 16, Detroit 22

Update:
Wow. St. Louis is the new Jekel and Hide of the NFL. Ya never really know who is going to show up.
St. Louis 6, Detroit 44

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Did you know that K.C. is undefeated? They are the only undefeated team in the NFL. Really? I have actually been amazed at their level of play this year. With all of that being said, the Cheifs are only as strong as their leader. Matt Cassel has been up and down all season. If the Chiefs look to continue on the trend of being a playoff team I would think that they will need to work hard on developing Cassel into the QB that he needs to be. Look for Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones to have another great outing. Payton Manning is sick! His accuracy and durability is truely amazing. At home the Colts are very impressive. I would look to Kansas City to play well but not strong enough against the Colts.

Kansas City 24, Indianapolis 32

Update:
I thought KC would put up some more points. Cassel? That is the question.
Kansas City 9, Indianapolis 19

GREEN BAY PACKERS @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS
This should be a battle through the air rather than a battle on the ground. Green Bays RB is a joke. Clinton Portis is out for Washington. However, Mike Shannahan is a rushing kind of coach and I believe that this game will incorporate alot of rushing. McNabb is solid and if the Redskins used him to his full ability they could see much more plays through the air. I would look to Arron Rodgers to have a solid game.

Green Bay 33, Washington 13

Update:
I would of never of predicted this game. Wow. The Redskins did a great job on defense. Offense seems to sputter. What happened GB?
Green Bay 13, Washington 16

CHICAGO BEARS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS
The Bears lost a tough one last week. I think they will come back with solid play but this game might be difficult. The Panthers have a strong defense. I would look at this to be handled 100% by Cutler. Matt Forte should be an after thought this week. He may be used in the line up for some receptions but not much running.

Chicago 22, Panthers 14

Update:
Chicago is for real.
Chicago 23, Carolina 6

DENVER BRONCOS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS
This could be the game of the week. Both teams are playing good ball. They both have inconsistencies but most importantly they are both very strong on offense. I would look to Joe Flacco to have an average game. He will be plagued by turn overs.

Denver 22, Ravens 24

Update:
Baltimore is my pick for the top seed in the weak AFC.
Denver 17, Baltimore 31

NEW YORK GIANTS @ HOUSTON TEXANS
I don't know why but I am going with the Texans. The Giants have had a lot of ups and downs this year. The Texans defense has been awful against passing attacks. However, they have been fairly decent against good rushers. I would look to Manning to have the game of his life. But I am sticking with my earlier thought that the Texans will pull this out.

New York 33, Houston 34

Update:
Houston didn't show up. They didn't even try.
New York 34, Houston 10

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS
This is a no brainer. The Cardinals need help badly. The Saints well they are the Saints.

New Orleans 24, Arizona 12

Update:
Now this game was great. Wow. To watch the Cards beat the Saints was a classic meeting between these two teams. Cardinals played some good ball on both sides of the field.
New Orleans 20, Cardinals 30

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS @ OAKLAND RAIDERS
Oakland has been awful this year. With great improvements on the team but they just can't get it together. I would look to Phillip Rivers to have a big game and any one who they send out to rush against this team.

San Diego 33, Oakland 12

Update:
Oakland...I do not believe that I will be able to accurately predict a win or a loss from you this season. Please, make this be a sign of life or just drop dead.
San Diego 27, Oakland 35

TENNESSEE TITANS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
Another, should be the game of the week. Vince Young has progressed this season into a very strong leader and a dominate threat. I would look to the Tennessee Titans to take this game. Romo will have a good game 300+ yards.

Tennessee 32, Dallas 28

Update:
Vince Young was confident and in control. Romo...well, your Romo.
Tennessee 34, Dallas 27

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
This will be an ugly game for both teams. Philadelphia with out Vick is nothing impressive and San Francisco is awful with Singletary. I think we all know what needs to happen for both teams. I would look to Alex Smith and Kevin Kolb to have mediocre days.

Philadelphia 20, San Francisco 22

Update:
I really don't know why I picked San Francisco to win. Mike Singletary is the single reason for the L's in San Franciscos W/L column. Alex Smith played great. He fumbled the ball once but overall play was the making of a great QB.
Philadelphia 27, San Francisco 24

MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ NEW YORK JETS
This is the game of the week. Brett Favre, Randy Moss and Adrian Peterson vs. Derrel Revis and Jets Defense. I really don' t know how this game will turn out. Favre has been very inconsistent this year. I think with the addition of Randy Moss this may turn things around.

Minnesota 42, New York 38
