NFL PICKS WEEK 5


Time to break down some key matchups in week 5

Colts -3 vs Texans : Breaking News the Texans suck. What a shock i know, The colts come into this came fresh off a bye which they badly needed because Peyton Manning has looked like shit this season, to add on to Manning playing like shit the colts forget that there is this thing called a running back and that well go figure he RUNS THE FUCKING BALL. Addai has been pittyful to watch this season. He has 142 yards and 3 tds so far and has been held under 50 yards twice this season, with that said he is coming off the best outing of the season rushing for 78 yards an 2 tds so look for addai to keep it going this week. On the other side of the ball what the hell is wrong with the Houston Texans, they suck. The highlight of their season to this point has been Hurricane Ike i think. Matt Schaub is so bad i wouldnt let him quaterback a pop warner team seriously, i mean this guy is TERRIBLE. He has 4 tds 5ints, Matt Schaub is the walking posterchild of medicority. How in the hell can you be so bad when you have a reciever like Andre Johnson on your team i just dont know. In one bright spot former wvu semi-star Steve Slaton has looked solid running behind the biggest joke of an offensive line in football. Look for the Colts to roll through. Prediction: Colts 35 Texans 17

Eagles-6 vs the skins

In what i believe is the game of the week you have two of the best teams in football going head to head. Philly comes in a 6 point favoirte which is somewhat of a surpise to me, i mean philly is coming off a loss to da bears while the skins went into big d and came out with a w. I understand the game is being played at the Linc but 6 point is a tad i high. I do feel that philly will win this came becasue this is a make or break game for them. Yes a make or break game in week 5 here me out. The team is 2-2 in the toughest divison in football and already have a loss against a divisonal foe (dallas) to fall to 2-3 and 0-2 in the divsion would be devasting. The skins on the other hand are clicking. Jim Zorn has turned Jason Campbell into the black Matt Hasselbeck aka the master of the dink and dunk. Campbell looks great so far with 6 tds and no turnovers and Santana Moss is playing like Randy Moss. In the end going on the road and winning 2 in a row i hard and this is the skins 3 road game already. This will be a great game but i have to think philly has a little more to play for right now Prediction: Eagles 24-21

Titans -2.5 vs Baltimore

The surprising Titans take their act on the road against the Fighting Flaccos. The big ? is if Vinny i want to die Young will get any snaps. Young has been promoted to 2nd string this week so that probably keeps him from killing himself for a couple weeks. Really whats wrong with this guy, your a professional athlete grow some balls and quite bitching already. The fans are booing me, the fans dont like, blah blah blah, cry me a river. The problem is that Young peaked in college and he knows this. He was given everything in the world at Texas, he could have went out and done anything he wanted and becasue he was Vince Young he could get away with it. His greatest accomplish was a championship with Texas something that he probably will never achieve with Tennessee. Young has alot of growing up to do before we see him under center. As for the Flaccos well i hate him hate hate hate hate Flacco. I dont know exactly what it is but i dont like him maybe its that he played at D1aa in a shotgun offense that threw the ball a 1,000 a game, maybe its that he looks retarded when hes under center, or maybe its just becasue i feel he was a 2-3 round talent that got taken at 18. I dont know you decided. None the less Balitmores d will keep them in this for a while and bascially it will come down to which ever offense makes the fewer mistakes. With that said i will take the Titans mainly becasue they have a veteran qb at the helm and a running back that looks to be ROY. Prediction: Titans 17-10

Finally

Falcons +3.5 vs The team formly known as Farve

The falcons and Pack are equal this week with the possiblity of Aaron Rodgers not playing. So lets say Rodgers does sit out that leaves 7th round draft pick Matt Flynn and 2nd round pick Brian Brohm. Those names strike the fear of god into everyone i know. The Falcons are playing good ball this year and could have pulled the upset over the Panthers had their recievers not caught a case of the dropsies. Which reminds me the Dropsies All-Star Team through four weeks: Bernard Berrian and Andre Johnson starting WRs , Daniel Graham starting TE, Braylon Edwards and everyone on Atlanta and Tennessee backups, Ben Watson injured reserve, and every fullback in the league. Berrian has to be the MVP. I'd love to see a game show in which he tries to catch various things -- keys, babies, Jell-O, pop flies, knives, you name it. If you're ever holding a baby and leaning out of a burning building and Bernard Berrian says, "Throw the baby, throw it to me," I suggust you to seek alternatives. Prediction: if ryan throws under 25 times i say Falcons pull off the upset 21-17. If Ryan throws over 25 times i say Pack win 17-14
