Week 5 Predictions

Heading into week 5 we got the AFC South division battle between the poor QB Texans and the injured QB Colts. Luck is out, meaning Hasselbeck is starting even though he has been sick all week and hasn't practiced at all. With all that being the case, I think defense will be winning this game which is why I look to Watt and his friends on the line to bring home the 12-10 win.
Rams are visiting the Rodgers and the Packers in Green Bay. The Rams have impressed me in a few games with wins over Arizona and Seattle, while they have had a couple loses I didn't expect including the one against Washington. The Rams seems to only beat teams ranked higher than them, but I trust Rodgers and his amazing ability to get points on the board to pull off a close victory 21-17 and grab the 5-0 start to the season.
Both Bears and Chiefs are disappointed with their starts to the season, as they come into week 5 1-3. Arrowhead is a really loud stadium and though Cutler and the Bears looked good last week, I think the Chiefs will get the win. The Chiefs pass defense may be beat up, but they will be able to pull off plays the Bears can't thanks to the volume of the stadium. Chiefs wont cover the 9.5 spread, but will take it 24-20.

Seahawks and Bengals are meeting up, as the Seahawks showed they have problems especially with their offensive line going off last weeks game. They were able to get the three point victory, though they were expected to take it by a lot more. The difference in the game was Chancellor. Since Kam rejoined the team they are undefeated. Andy Dalton may be one of the league passing leaders, but that will change this week as Kam will be the difference maker in the game holding off another big day for A.J. Green or any other Bengals receiver. Seahawks will take it in a close one 23-21.
Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are among league leaders and they are going to add to it this week. With Freeman on the ground game the Redskins wont be able to predict what is coming and will never be set for a certain play. The Falcons offense is to dangerous, while their defense has lived up past expectations. The Falcons should not have much of a problem taking this one 31-20.
Jaguars actually have been showing everyone that they have a good offense, with Bortles at QB they have been surprising many and putting up a good amount of yardage but he is still ranking 28th in passer rating. Winston is coming off a a tough week against Carolina, which is why he ranks 31st in passer rating. These are two of the worst teams in the league, but the Jaguars have taken 4 of the last 5 meetings between the two teams which is why I am going to take the Jaguars 17-14.    
The Eagles are not a top NFL team like predicted in the beginning of the season. They only have one win, which was not impressive as they totaled only 231 yards. The Saints impressed me against Dallas coming away with the overtime win. The spread in this one is -5 for the Eagles, well the Saints will keep within a field goal difference if they don't win themselves. With the Saints poor pass defense I see a 20-17 Eagles win.
The Ravens are beat up, they lost their main receiver last week in Steve Smith and are just lacking

offensive weapons now. The Browns on the other hand have some difference makers including Travis Benjamin who has helped me out on fantasy a good amount this season. Joe Flacco will just be frustrated, as he wont know what to do with the ball besides throw it away. Browns will upset their division rival taking it 24-23.
The Bills couldn't catch a break last week, as they had TDs taken back due to penalties which made the difference in their loss. I don't think they will catch all those bad breaks again, as they take on the now humbled Mariota and the Titans. Look to Bills defense to slow the Titans down as Taylor runs away with this game. I call a 27-13 Bills win.
Stafford and Lions are the only winless team left this season, but they are about to take on a team that has been beating up low record teams all season. The Cardinals are coming off a tough loss where they turned it over three times. That wont happen back to back weeks, as the Cardinals will force turnovers and stop the worst run game in football. Cardinals 28-17.
The Patriots are coming off their bye week, having spend the last couple weeks preparing for this game in Dallas. The Cowboys just lost Sean Lee, and running back Dunbar as the injuries only continue for an already beat up team. Brady and Gronk are going to have a great game as the Patriots easily take it over Weeden and the Cowboys 38-21.
The Broncos and Raiders are meeting up, Denver is still undefeated while the Raiders are coming off a tough loss to Chicago. All of the Broncos victories have been close to the end however, while Carr has only thrown two interceptions on the season. The Raiders defense needs to step it up and keep it close, as Manning has already thrown five picks. This one will come down to the end and whoever makes the last mistake. Since the Broncos have been the team to make those plays on defense so far this year, I got to take them 24-17.
The 49ers have been a disappointment with three straight loses that weren't even close. The Giants caught a lot of breaks last week in their win over the Bills, but if Eli Manning was able to get a lead I don't think he has to worry about losing it against the 67.7 QB rating of Kaepernick which is as bad as you can basically get. Look for Manning and Jennings to put up some points and take the double digit win 24-13.

Finally Monday Nights game between the Steelers and Chargers should be a fun matchup. Rivers leads the league in passing yards, while the Steelers are missing their starting QB and relying on Vick who got a total of 124 pass yards in his start last week. While Vick is averaging 12 points in his last five starts, the Chargers have 63 points overt wo home game so far on the season. Look for Rivers to find Allen and lead the Chargers to a 26-20 win.


Record 41-22
