After as bad a week as I had last week, I desperately needed a good one and Week 5 was good. 12-3 and nailing my upset of the week is definitely some nice momentum to work with.
Now, can we show some consistency and make it two boffo weeks in a row or will I return to the land of mediocrity?
Let's Find out!
Thursday Night
Texans 27, Colts 17 - Could it be a somewhat competitive TNF game? We can only hope.
Sunday
Titans 24, Jaguars 17 - After blowing the biggest home lead in NFL history to Cleveland, surely the Flaming Thumbtacks won't allow a loss to winless Jacksonville, right?
Upset Special: Buccaneers 27, Ravens 20 - I know, I need to turn in my Nabob of Negativity card but the Bucs defense has played much better at home this season and is getting healthier, Glennon will actually have a crowd that's cheering for him and Baltimore is 7-11 in their last 18 road games.
Broncos 37, Jets 17 - I was tempted to take the Jets in a....lol, I can't even finish writing the sentence. Who are we kidding?
Lions 19, Vikings 16 - The Cowardly Ones hit four field goals to win the game.
Patriots 27, Bills 17 - Could this be the changing of the guard in the AFC East? Nope.
Bengals 30, Panthers 17 - Even with the banged up AJ Green, the Bengals and their defense will have a world of pain planned for Cam and company.
Browns 30, Steelers 27 - I'm sticking with the cardiac Brownies.
Packers 27, Dolphins 17 - Miami fans thought they had it made after an opening week win over the Patriots. Then they played more games.
Chargers 30, Raiders 17 - The Battle of Los Angeles? Hollywood hopes they get the Chargers....although for me, Looooas Angeles Super Chargers! Just doesn't have the same ring to it as SAN DI-EGO SUPER CHARGERS!
Upset Special #2 - Bears 47, Falcons 42 - The Falcons offense is killer at home. Bears have one of the better offenses in the league as well. Neither team has a defense. This should be Madden-esque fun.
Seahawks 30, Cowboys 10 - Sorry Dallas, your win streak comes to an end in Coffee country.
Washington 27, Cardinals 16 - No I haven't given up on the Cards, but with a banged up defense and down to their third string QB, even the Washington Franchise can pull off the road win with those odds.
Sunday Night
Eagles 27, Giants 20 - This should be an interesting ball game. The G-men have been surging, Philly has been winning but barely. I'll go with the home team, here.
Monday Night
49ers 27, Rams 13 - Yet another MNF game I won't be watching.
