NFL Picks - Week 5 Recap

Here are the results from my Week 5 picks. Again, I went 7 for 14 games and overall I am 41 for 75 or 55% (I seem to be dropping 1% every week, ugh...) Anyway, it was a weird weekend for football, I went with my brain on most of these picks but there were just a lot of upsets. Oh well, better luck next week.

The Starred games are the games I correctly picked and the records are updated to reflect their current record.

1:00 Games

*Denver 17 (2-3) @ Baltimore 31 (4-1) - Baltimore didn't have much of a problem with this game.

Green Bay 13 (3-2) @ Washington 16 (3-2) - It took overtime, numerous Packer penalties and numerous Packer injuries for Washington to win.

*Kansas City 9 (3-1) @ Indianapolis 19 (3-2) - No surprise here.

NY Giants 34 (3-2) @ Houston 10 (3-2) - Either Houston is showing how much they are getting worse or The Giants are proving how good they are.

St. Louis 6 (2-3) @ Detroit 44 (1-4) - Definitely a surprise. Calvin Johnson got injured in the game but it didn't matter, St. Louis looked pretty bad.

*Atlanta 20 (4-1) @ Cleveland 10 (1-4) - Atlanta is riding high right now, Cleveland is not.

*Tampa Bay 24 (3-1) @ Cincinnati 21 (2-3) - Wow, a crazy close game where Tampa Bay came back in the second half and ended up winning with a field goal in overtime.

Chicago 23 (4-1) @ Carolina 6 (0-5) - I guess Jimmy Clausen just isn't ready yet, Chicago pounced on them.

*Jacksonville 36 (3-2) @ Buffalo 26 (0-5) - Buffalo was hanging in there, but The Jags were the better team for sure.


4:00 Games

*New Orleans 20 (3-2) @ Arizona 30 (3-2) - The Cardinals being led by who? Max Hall?! They succeeded in victory against the defending Super Bowl Champs, who have been looking shakey all year.

Tennessee 34 (3-2) @ Dallas 27 (1-3) - Dallas got problems, mostly with discipline. Tennesse came out strong and played a solid game.

San Diego 27 (2-3) @ Oakland 35 (2-3) - Wow. Bet this knocked some people out of suicide pools around the nation.


SNF

Philly 27 (3-2) @ San Fransisco 24 (0-5) - San Fransisco sucks! Alex Smith sucks! Although San Fransisco almost got in position to tie it up late in the 4th quarter, they just didn't have it together enough to win.


MNF

*Minnesota 20 (1-3) @ NY Jets 29 (4-1) - Minnesota wasn't able to do anything right. The Jets defense was powerful, and although Favre was able to get The Vikings in position to win the game, he threw a costly pick six which took the game out of reach with less than a minute left in the game.
