NFL Week 5 Calls



Here are my NFL Week 5 Calls...



Browns @ Bills: The Browns are playing like something else that's brown. The Bills haven't been playing too well either. I think the Bills win this one at home and Trent Edwards has a good day in Buffalo. Cleveland continues to stink. 24-13 BUF

Cowboys @ Chiefs: Video footage shows that Tony Romo didn't know what down it was last week when he blew the game at the 1 yard line against the Broncos. Against the Chiefs I don't think it matters if he knows what down it is, the Chefs are that bad. 31-17 DAL

Vikings @ Rams: I still don't think the Rams are going to win a game this season. The Vikes could have a let down this week after a big win vs. Green Bay, but I think even if they let down this week they still win by 2 TDs. They unleash All Day Adrian Peterson and he goes for at least 150. 34-13 MIN

Raiders @ Giants: The undefeated G Men at home against the lowly Raydahs... I see a blowout, even if Eli "Woman"ning is hindered by an injured heel. Look for JaMarcus Russell to have a big day. Hahaha, I couldn't even type it with a straight face. 27-17 NYG

Buccaneers @ Eagles: Donovan McRib returns this week and the Bucs are struggling in all facets of the game. I think Desean Jackson has another big week and the birds roll. Look for Brent Celek to play well. 34-17 PHI

Steelers @ Lions: The Steelers rolled up the CHARGERS last week and the Lions have a hurt QB, not to mention that they are still not a very good team. Troy Polamolu may return this week and that will be a boost. Look for Big Ben to have a good day through the air. Look for the CHARGERS defense to give up another 200 yards even though they are on a bye this week. 31-16 PIT

Redskins @ Panthers: Both teams could really use this win. The Panthers are coming off a bye week and the Skins off a win. Look for DeAngelo Williams to blow up this week and for Carolina to get their running game back on track. 26-20 CAR

Falcons @ 49ers: The Niners finally signed Michael Crabtree so that's nice. The Falcons come off a bye week and I can see Matty Ice and The Burner Turner having a good week against a good San Fran D. SF linebacker Patrick Willis is an absolute beast but still they lose. 24-17 ATL

Bengals @ Ravens: The Bengals took 5 quarters last week to beat the lowly Browns. The Ravens had the Patriots on the ropes if not for a dropped pass at the 5 in the 4th quarter. I think Joe Flacco has a big day and Carson Palmer struggles against the Ravens stout D. 24-10 BAL

Jaguars @ Seahawks: This should actually be a good game, even though I don't really care to watch it. I see David Garrard having a nice game and the bowling ball Maurice Jones-Drew picking up a couple spares. Unless the Seahawks wear all neon green unis, they lose at home. 27-20 JAX

Texans @ Cardinals: Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson should have a big day because Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie (yes, My Antonio's cousin) is playing as bad as his older cousin. But Fitzgerald, Boldin and Old Man River are chomping at the bit to get back on the field. If the Cardinals D plays as tough as the stadium security (I got booted while filming a school project) they should win. 27-24 ARZ

Patriots @ Broncos: I said it last week that finally the Broncos played a real team. Too bad the Cowboys didn't quite show up or have a clue in the 4th quarter. I look for a rude awakening this week for the Donkeys. They have lucked out twice this season but to their credit... have found a way to win. Not this week. This guy named Thomas Brady will find some guy named Randall Moss for a pair of TDs. 38-17 NE

SNF: Colts @ Titans: The Colts O has been piping hot and the Titans have struggled. Even at home I think Tennessee loses. Chris Johnson has a good day for the Titans... and it feels good... but... it ain't enough. Peyton Manning yells "Omaha" a bunch and throws 3 TDs. 31-24 IND

MNF: Jets @ Dolphins: Somehow this is the Dolphins 2nd Monday night game already this year. At least the Jets are pretty good so one team will be interesting to watch. I'm setting the early over-under line for how many times the ESPN broadcast booth says "wildcat" at 263. Look for Broadway Mark Sanchez to play well after struggling last week. Jets bounce back on prime time. 27-17 NYJ
