NFL Week 5 Picks and Predictions

Wednesday, October 01 2008 - , , , , - 0 comments

In my 1st week of picks, I ended up doing quite horribly.  I was 4 for 13, which is pretty bad (down right dismal).
I hope I can learn from my mistakes and make this week better.

Schoonie has not updated us on how he did in Week 4.  I am fairly certain he crushed me.

Read on the 'Net: "Jets safety Eric Smith is suspended one game for trying to remove the facemask of Arizona's Anquan Boldin with his teeth." Deadspin (in all seriousness, I hope Boldin has a full recovery)

NFL Week 4 Results

2008 NFL Week 4 Results (my picks in bold)

  • Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers - Delhomme was 20/29 for 294 yards with 2 Touchdown.
  • Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals - At least someone in Ohio has a win.
  • Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars - A field goal in overtime sends Jacksonville ahead for the win. 
  • Denver Broncos at Kansas City Chiefs - I had to double check this, Kansas City beat Denver?  Has hell frozen over? KC forced 4 turnovers!
  • San Francisco 49ers at New Orleans Saints - Reggie Bush did nothing today, it was all Drew Brees.
  • Arizona Cardinals at New York Jets - Farve threw for 6 TDs today, but those were ugly throwback uniforms!
  • Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Huge defensive game.
  • Minnesota Vikings at Tennessee Titans  - Minnesota need more help, lots more help.
  • San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders - Only 64 yards rushing for Oakland.  LT had 100+ yards and  2 TDs.
  • Buffalo Bills at St Louis Rams - Trent Green threw for 200+ yards without a touchdown.
  • Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys - Sorry Tony, 300 yards and 3 TDs isn't enough in the NFC East.
  • Philadelphia Eagles at Chicago Bears - Being an Eagles fan I have nothing to say here. Bears defense stood strong when it needed too.
  • Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers - Another game I just couldn't pick.

Week 4: 4/13
Cumulative: 4/13
