Week 5 Predictions

Chicago v. Carolina: Chicago is coming off a serious loss, and Carolina is playing at home with a tough defense. I'm giving the Panthers the edge.

Houston v. Dallas: JJ Watt is superhuman. Seriously. The man is on fire. And whatever the front office did during the off-season apparently worked. Meanwhile, Tony Romo has been struggling with his back thanks to a January surgery. Anyone that's had back pain will tell you that even after it's fixed you're never quite the same. Whatever crazy steroids and growth hormones the trainers have are going to help, but you need your back to...move. All that to say, I'm going with Houston.

Buffalo v. Detroit: Detroit. Buffalo is still trying to workout the QB switch.

Baltimore v. Indianapolis: Indianapolis. Steve Smith, Sr. has been great. But I think Andrew Luck is going to make it happen.

Pittsburgh v. Jacksonville: Pittsburgh.

Tampa Bay v. New Orleans: NOLA should win. Key word being should.

Atlanta v. New York: New York Giants.

St. Louis v. Philadelphia: I heard an announcer say that Philly has the best offense in the NFL right now. I like McCoy and I like what Foles is doing. So I'll go Philadelphia.

Cleveland v. Tennessee: I'm going with Cleveland; I think the Titans was great for the first game, but that seems to have been an anomaly for the time being.

Arizona v. Denver: Denver is going to take it at home.

New York Jets v. San Diego: San Diego.

Kansas City v. San Francisco: Kansas City. There is drama brewing in San Francisco, and until it's resolved, SF is going to be in deep shi-thangs. Plus, Alex Smith going up against his old team? Heeeelllllll Nnnaawwwww Kansas City ain't losing that game.

Cincinnati v. New England: After that loss? I don't see New England losing again.

Seattle v. Washington: Seattle.
