Week 5 Picks

Baseball is in full stride this week where the Rockies had to play a must win game just to get in and now possibly sweeping the Phillies. Manny walks off to put the Red Sox up 2-0. Lebron wearing a NY hat to a Cleveland game then NY loses two in a row. Maybe he should have just worn the Indians hat and had his Yankees go up 2-0 and he would have had the best of both worlds. The Diamondbacks are driving Lou Pinella crazy once again with a commanding two games to none lead over the Cubs but now its almost Sunday and we need to get into NFL mode and here is my week 5 picks.

Miami @ Houston
The Dolphins look like they should have kept Duante Clupepper and Im sure the fans are saying the same. They go to 0-5 with another loss to the Texans with Matt Schaub helping his team bounce back from the upset of last week. Texans win 21-10

Jacksonville @ Kansas City
I dont think the Chiefs have what it takes this year and Im not so sure Larry Johnson is running with a passion either. The combo of Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew handle most of the load for Jacksonville and lead the Jags to a victory. Jacksonville wins by two TDs 31-17

Cleveland @ New England
Tom Brady is having a season that is second to none. He is a shoe in for MVP so far this year for me and he has this offense marching up and down the field with ease. If Baltimore put up over 400 yards of offense Cleveland better get ready cause with the weapons the Patriots have its gonna be a long day. Patriots win 41-14

Carolina @ New Orleans
Keyshawn Johnson looks like he was 100% right when he told Dwayne Jarrett to stay at USC and not to go pro cause he wasnt ready now Jarrett is inactive for the 3rd game this year. This game should get the Saints going in the right direction especially after the bye week. Saints win at home 17-13

New York Jets @ New York Giants
Michael Strahan might be teammates with the player that will break his single season sack record. Osi Umenyiora had a half dozen sacks in one game that is amazing but lets see how he follows it up. Giants have been coming on in the past couple of weeks and will continue to look good winning this game. Giants win 24-14

Seattle @ Pittsburgh
Now is when you will see how good of a coach Mike Tomlin really is. Coming off the loss to Arizona to play a Seattle team that is also 3-1 will be a real test. I think he will have this Steelers team well prepared and get off the field with another victory and show he is the real deal like all of the former Pittsburgh coaches were. Steelers win 21-16

Arizona @ St. Louis
The dynamic duo of Matt and Kurt. No it dont sound right but it is working and it has the Cardinals at 2-2 and I believe with all of the offensive injuries the Rams have they will soon be 3-2. Cardinals win 27-6

Detroit @ Washington
Washington had an extra week to prepare for the Lions but this early in the season I dont think that matters to much. Detroit is playing some pretty good football against the not so great teams and this could be a good test for them. I think they continue to look strong this week and beat the Redskins. Lions win 21-17

Atlanta @ Tennessee
With the Titans and QB Vince Young I am not able to bet against him. He is just a winner and thats why I choose the Titans. Titans 21-10

Tampa Bay @ Indianapolis
In this game I think it will be to much of Peyton to all of his weapons. Tampa needs to get their backups at running back to carry quite a load which I dont believe they can do. Colts win 34-17.

San Diego @ Denver
San Diego gets off to a good start and holds off the Broncos. Chargers win 24-13. LT rushes for 150+.

Baltimore @ San Francisco
Baltimore gets there offense to control a little bit more of the clock and the Defense to stay fresh. Ravens win 17-10.

Chicago @ Green Bay
I still dont believe all the hype of the Packers and thats why I believe the Bears stun the 4-0 Pack at home. 20-17 Possibly a last second field goal.

Dallas @ Buffalo
T.O. in the spot light and all of the weapons on Dallas' Offense expect a big game I might even expect a blowout. Dallas 35-13
