NFL Week 5

NFL Week 5 Picks

Week 5 started off with a blast from the past as Andre Johnson and Matt Hasselbeck both went crazy to give the Colts a win. Now I picked the Texans after seeing the Colts play last week without Andrew Luck, and I wasn't impressed. None the less I'm 0-1 to start the week and the Texans are terrible.

Seahawks vs Bengals
This has the makings of being a great football game. The Seahawks have won 2 straight to move to 2-2. However they just haven't looked themselves. Last week they almost blew a lead against a bad Lions team. The Bengals on the other hand look great. Andy Dalton is off to the best start of his career. Aj Green has been a dominant receiver. However this is huge test for this Bengals offense. Their defense will not have to deal with Marshawn Lynch. I still want the Bengals to prove they beat everyone.

Seahawks 21 , Bengals 14

Patriots vs Cowboys
This game would be a lot more exciting if Tony Romo and Dez Bryant were playing. With that being said the Cowboys were not winning with them and their most certainly not winning with out them. It's a weak slate of games this week and I think everyone will get a good look at the Patriots dominance.

Patriots 38 , Cowboys 20

Saints vs Eagles
These are two teams that I thought would be in the mix this year and it hasn't started off that way. The Eagles still have a chance in the NFC east but the Saints have to get wins because both the Falcons and Panthers are 4-0. Despite a loss Sam Bradford looked good for the Eagles but I think this is the week that Demarco Murray produces.

Eagles 24 , Saints 20

Steelers vs Chargers
Philip Rivers is playing good football. Keenan Allen looks great. Antonio Gates returns and the Steelers are with backup Quarterback Mike Vick. I am actually really excited for this game. The Steelers looked okay with Vick last Thursday. However he needs to get Antonio Brown the ball more
on Monday. I think the Chargers offense is just too much for the Steelers on Monday. They pull away
late.

Chargers 27 , Steelers 17


The Rest - Falcons , Bills , Chiefs  , Ravens , Packers  , Jaguars ,  Cardinals , Broncos , Giants
