2009 NFL Weekly Picks - Week 5

Sunday 11 Oct

 CIN @ BAL

Eddie

 Ravens

Fred

Ravens

Ravens are just too strong of a team to let the Bengals come in and steal a win.

Should be a close one, but gotta go with the home team

WAS @ CAR    

Eddie

Panthers  

Fred

Panthers

Okay Carolina fans – this one looks doable. 

Not a fan of either of these teams, so going with the home team

CLE @ BUF      

Eddie

Bills  

Fred

 Browns

 Okay Bills fans – this one looks doable.  (Is there an echo in here?)    

With Massamaquoddy and Jerome, the  Braylon Edwardless Browns get the “W” in Buffalo

PIT @ DET    

Eddie

Steelers

Fred

 Steelers

No Lions fans…  your sole win was not a dream but at least you are used to losing so this is nothing but another Sunday for you guys.

 Sounds like Culpepper will play, which equates to a guaranteed Lions loss

   DAL @ KC

Eddie

 Cowboys

Fred

 Cowboys

Priest Holmes will get honored this Sunday for the accomplishments as a Chief.  Could you please suit up too?

 Cowboys have to win this one or they’ll be the laughing stock of the NFL

 MIN @ STL     

Eddie

  Vikings

Fred

Vikings

Vikings remain undefeated as the Rams continue to look horrible. 

 With Boller at QB, the Rams could go 0-16

   OAK @ NYG

Eddie

Giants

Fred

Giants

This one could have been interesting had it been in Oakland and Jarmarcus was playing somewhat decent.  The Giants are banged up but I just can’t see the Raiders leaving New York with a win.

 Two words…beat down!

TB @ PHI    

Eddie

Eagles

Fred

Bengals

Vick could start this game and still come out with a win.

 Off a bye week at home, Eagles smoke ‘em!

  ATL @ SF    

Eddie

Falcons

Fred

 49ers

Tough..  tough…  matchup.  49ers are playing well but I like the Falcons this week.

Even though the Falcons are coming off a bye week, the Niners are still playing out of their minds.  No reason to pick against a team playing as hard as they are every week.

   HOU @ ARI

Eddie

Texans

Fred

Cardinals

Texans are weird like that.  They’ll surprise us this week and then look horrible the next.  The trick is catching them on their schedule…. 

 Off a bye week and at home, the Cardinals should easily pull this one out.

NE @ DEN   

Eddie

Patriots

Fred

Broncos

This is another good matchup and I’d love to see Denver win but I just can’t see it…  maybe next year?   

 I picked against the Patriots at home last week and got burned.  This time they’re away so it’s ok.  J  McDaniels, a.k.a. Bill Belichick Jr., wins against his former Head Coach.

JAC @ SEA    

Eddie

Jaguars

Fred

Seahawks

Did Jacksonville find momentum?

 Picking home team.  But, if the Jags win, they’re a legit team.

   IND @ TEN

Eddie

Colts  

Fred

 Colts

  This could have been a good Sunday night matchup but the Titans just fell apart.  Maybe Vince Young will make an appearance tonight.

NYJ @ MIA       

Eddie

Jets

Fred

 Jets

I just don’t think the Dolphins have enough to compete with the Jets.

 Jets are playoff bound while the Dolphins aren’t
