Week 5 NFL Picks Results

Atlanta (-2.5) at Cleveland:  20-10.  Win.  I cannot figure out the Falcons offense.  They should be better than what they have shown.

NY Giants at Houston (-2.5):  34-10.  Loss.  Memo to Texans:  Just because you beat Indy doesn't mean that you have done lots this year.

Green Bay (-2.5) at Washington:  13-16.  Loss.  Barnett being out didn't hurt, but Finley, Lee, and Matthews among others did.

Jacksonville at Buffalo (E):  36-26.  Loss.  This Bills Defense leaks like a sieve.  Ryan Fitzpatrick has played well so far.

Tampa Bay at Cincinnati (-7):  24-21.  Loss.  Carson Palmer looks awful passing the ball.  Bucs defense is starting to mature.

St. Louis at Detroit (-2.5):  6-44.  Win.  Shaun Hill looks like he is getting the most out of the offense.

Kansas City (+8) at Indianapolis:  9-19.  Loss.  KC played the Colts even for about 3 1/2 quarters.  

Denver at Baltimore (-8):  17-31.  Win.  Ray Rice is the reason that the Ravens are Super Bowl contenders.

Chicago (E) at Carolina:  23-6.  Win.  Todd Collins had 10 passes that didn't hit the ground for Chicago.  4 of those didn't get caught by his team.  Bears defense looks good.

New Orleans (-7.5) at Arizona:  20-30.  Loss.  Pffffftttt!  Maybe the magic is gone for the Saints.  Losing to a Free agent Rookie Quarterback.  Unseemly for a defending Super Bowl Champion.

Tennessee (+8) at Dallas:  34-27.  Win.  Vince Young didn't make many mistakes in this game.  Cowpokes at 1-3.  Overhyped so far this year.

San Diego (-7) at Oakland:  27-35.  Loss.  Special teams is a part of the game there, Norv Turner.

Philadelphia at San Francisco (-3):  27-24.  Loss.  49ers still have a shot at the NFC West.  And even if they do pull it out, probably won't save Mike Singletary.

Minnesota at NY Jets (-3):  20-29.  Win.  Turnovers yet again for the Vikings #4.  If they lose to Cowboys and go 1-4, will Farve all of a sudden have a major injury to his elbow?
