2012-13 Picks - NFL - Week 5

Sunday, October 7 - Game of the Week
DEN @ NE | Patriots - Manning v. Brady. Just about the only real reason this qualifies as the game of the week. When Manning is playing, you've always got a chance. And with Brady, well, you already know. Stevan Ridley has made quite an impact on the Pats offense this year. On the other side of the ball, McGahee has been pretty stellar, too. I think this game will unexpectedly come down to the wire--with Brady and company coming away with the "W".

Thursday, October 4

Sunday, October 7
PHI @ PIT | Steelers - The Steelers are notorious for banging up QB's and I think James Harrison returns this week...hmmm
GB @ IND | Packers - Packers still look shaky but I think they'll get a close win in Indy.
CLE @ NYG | Giants - I think the Giants "D" will get after Weeden and define the tone of this game.
ATL @ WAS | Redskins - The Falcons are good, but I'm just not sold on them being the best in the league right now.
MIA @ CIN | Bengals - Haven't really paid attention to if the Dolphins are any good at all this year, but AJ Green is amazing.
BAL @ KC | Ravens - I just watched this Ray Lewis speech today and it might be tough to pick against them again all year long.
SEA @ CAR | Seahawks - I think last weeks loss may have hurt the confidence of Newton and the Panthers as a whole. And the Seahawks "D" is no joke.
CHI @ JAC | Bears - Because Cutty does it...
BUF @ SF | 49ers - After seeing the Pats shred this Bills team that started with a lead, it's safe to say they've regressed.
TEN @ MIN | Vikings - Christian Ponder has arrived. He's legit.
SD @ NO | Saints - Because they can't possibly be this terrible. I think the home crowd will really be behind them today.

Monday, October 8
HOU @ NYJ | Texans - 2-3 is really close to 1-4. I'm predicting a Tim Tebow sighting by week 7. I mean, the Numbers Never Lie, and this year looks eerily similar to the last.

Thanks for reading guys.
