Week Five in the NFL........

I've always said each week gets tougher to pick....but I will take a whack at it anyway......By the way last week 10-4 and 39-23 overall. Only one of the Times Pic prognosticators ahead of me....So here we go again into the land of prediction......Saints on the road at Arizona...Rookie QB...Gregg Williams Defense...What do you think??? Saints score big even with all the injuries and take over in second half to cruise to victory. Saints win. Bills at home against the Jags...Jaguars a little over confident after beating the Colts. Bills sneak up with a win at home...My First Upset. Bucs on the road at Cincinnati....honestly if the Bengals were not at home I wouldn't pick them....call me stupid...Bengals squeak out a win at home. Falcons on the road in Cleveland....the euphoria has worn off...Too much Matt Ryan  for the Browns...Falcons win. Rams at the Lions...simple Lions at home...Lions get their first win. Chiefs travel to Indy to play the Colts. The timing couldn't have been worse for Kansas City. Playing the Colts at home after the Colts suffered a huge loss last week. Colts bring high flying Chiefs down to the ground. Colts win. Packers at Washington....this is another intriguing game...the Redskins are playing with a lot of confidence unfortunately so are the Packers who continue to find ways to win even when it looks like they won't. Packers win in a close one. Bears at Carolina....  My fellow predictors seem to think this is an opportunity for the Panthers to win one. As I said to my friends last week the Panthers played way over their heads because it was a Division game against the Super Bowl Champions...It won't matter that Jay Cutler is not playing...The Bears have enough defense to stop the Panthers running attack and make them one dimensional with Jimmy Clausen. Then of course it's all over for Clausen. On offense the Bears will just hand the ball off to Matt Forte to see if Carolina has answer...They don't...Bears win. Denver travels to Baltimore...On paper this looks easy but you have got to give credit to QB-Kyle Orton who is putting up incredible numbers. Here is my next surprise pick Broncos win in a close one on the road. Giants at the Texans...the Giants found their defense last week against the Bears the question is can they do it 2 weeks in a row? I am going against the grain again...Giants win in a close one. Chargers at the Raiders...Chargers found their offense last week. Chargers will find more of it this week...Chargers win. Titans at Dallas in Jerry World.
Look for the Cowboys to be sluggish after a Bye week of getting fat and sassy. Titans come up big...upset the Cowboys at Home. Titans win. Eagles at the 49ers. No Michael Vick...Need I say more. 49ers win.
Vikings at the Jets on Monday Night Football...I know I know more controversy with Brett Favre and of course their was the Randy Moss trade. Something Brett has been working on for a few years. Look for the Vikings to pull together for this one and upset the Jets at home. Brett throws at least one touchdown pass to Randy Moss and Adrian Peterson keeps the Jets defense off balance just enough to keep the heat off of Brett. Vikings win.
