I thought week 5 would be easy to pick but I went 8-6. I was completely wrong. This moved my overall record to 53-23. The Bengals are on top of the AFC North division. Let me say that again. The Bengals are on top of the AFC North division. In a division with the Steelers and the Ravens the Bengals are on top of the AFC North. The Jets lost to the Dolphins. Suddenly Chad Henne(Michigan alum) has led them to victory and is 2-0. Denver is still winning. I don’t know how but they pull it off week after week. The Browns won there first game of the season 6-3 in the greatest game ever played. So that means the teams that are 5-0 are the Broncos, Colts, Giants, that other team that I really hate, and the Saints are 4-0. The Packers didn’t lose this week so that’s a plus I guess but they didn’t play and still lost a half game on that team that’s leading the NFC North. Quick to the picks before I start ranting about nothing.

Sunday 1 p.m.

Houston vs. Cincinnati

The Bengals will continue to surprise. They are on top of the AFC NORTH.

Detroit vs. Green Bay

Please win this game. It’s the Lions.

Baltimore vs. The Team Who Must Not Be Named

The Ravens will be upset about its loss to the Bengals. And they are so much better than the home team.

NY Giants vs. New Orleans

Great game here but the Saints have shown that they could win the game on offense and defense. They could be one of the best teams in the NFL.

Cleveland vs. Pittsburgh

The Steelers haven’t been playing great but they keep playing awful teams. It helps to get wins when your top defensive player(maybe the best in the league) is out for a few weeks.

Carolina vs. Tampa Bay

Both teams are bad but I believe the Panthers are at least a little better.

Kansas City vs. Washington

The Redskins will do enough.

St. Louis vs. Jacksonville

The Jaguars are better but they got hammered by the Seahawks last week. That’s what makes this a tough pick ’cause you never know what you’re gonna get with the Jaguars.

Sunday 4:15 p.m.

Arizona vs. Seattle

Wake up Cardinals. You’re only a half game back in the division. Get it going.

Philadelphia vs. Oakland

The Eagles have been beating bad teams and looking good doing it.

Tennessee vs. New England

The Titans have to put Vince Young in the game and see if could do what he did his rookie year because the season is lost.

Buffalo vs. NY Jets

The Bills are terrible and the Jets aren’t happy about losing to Miami on Monday.

Sunday Night Game

Chicago vs. Atlanta

The Falcons had a big win against the 49ers. It makes it difficult to pick against them this week. Plus, I hate the Bears.

Monday Night Game

Denver vs. San Diego

I’ve picked against the Broncos all year. I’m going to do it again. I’ve hated the Broncos ever since they beat the Packers in the Super Bowl in 1998 but I think I’m over that now considering it’s a completely different team. I want them to keep winning because it’s a great story but they have to lose at some point. They will lose against their division rival. The Chargers always come up big in random games during the year. This will be one of them. Will I ever learn?

Hopefully, my sports week will be better this week. Last week the Packers lost, the Cardinals were swept out of the playoffs, and Michigan lost a close game to Iowa.

But this isn’t just about me. Good luck sports fans. I hope your team wins this week. Unless you like the Bears, Lions, Dodgers, Buckeyes, and The Team That Must Not Be Named and other teams that I just don’t feel like listing.

Good night Canada(PTI).
