NFL Week 5

What a crappy slate of NFL games this week. The KC-Indy game is one of the only games that intrigues me. Peyton taking on the undefeated Cheifs (wow, I said that?). It's time to see what the Cheifs (and Colts for that matter) are made of. I think if they win, on the road, they deserve a top 5 spot. I definitely didn't see it coming, the Cheifs being the only undefeated team in week 5. Now, I see them losing this game, losing next week, and it being just a team that's a fraud. I just don't see how they can do it. The run game will do well against Indy, but they will need Matt Cassel to make some plays on the road, and I'm not sure he can do it.

It will be fun to see Moss against the Jets again, and I wonder how he will hold up going 17 games this year. Him and Favre will open up some room for AP, but I still think the Jets D is too good. The matchup to watch in that game is LT vs. the D Line of Minny. The reason Sanchez has been so good is cuz LT has been so good. I see this as a low scoring game, the home team winning, and Minny reeling at 1-3. Where are the good ole days from last year when they couldn't lose?

But seriously, when you have Jax-Buffalo, Chicago-Carolina, St Louis-Detroit...who REALLY wants to watch ANY of those games? Thank GOD I'm not back in Illinois right now, or else I'd have to watch Tod Collins vs. Jimmy Clausen. Who else just threw up in their mouth? I did...couple that with my coffee taste in my mouth and no breakfast yet...pretty gross...

My picks for the week:

Jax over Buffalo
Cinci over Tampa
Atlanta over Cleveland
St Louis over Detroit
Indy over KC
Green Bay over Washington
Carolina over Chicago
Baltimore over Denver
Houston over NY Giants
New Orleans over Arizona (how fast will this game be over?)
Dallas over Tennessee
San Diego over Oakland (though I could see the Raiders keeping it close...maybe winning)
SanFran over Philly
NY Jets over Minny
