Week 5 In the League Where They Pay for Play

NFL Season 13-13

Last Week 2-4

Had a bad week last week, the Lions were up 14-0 and the Saints were back ahead two scores before halftime, and Cam Newton was announced as out right after I made my picks. Time for a nice bounce-back in week 5.

Panthers +1 @ Falcons

Teddy Bridgewater and Robby Anderson... what could've been for the Jets. Robby is learning new things every day in Carolina, like Sir Purr is not a bear, but a panther. Matt Rhule has started to turn the Panthers around, while Dan Quinn and the Falcons are trending in the opposite direction. The Falcons secondary is decimated with injuries and I don't see them righting the ship.

Texans -5.5 v Jaguars

If this team doesn't get right after firing Bill O'Brien and facing the Jags I don't know when they're going to win. JJ Watt and Deshaun Watson, the two leaders of the club should ball out.

Steelers -7 v Eagles

I can't see how the Eagles banged up o-line keeps Wentz standing against TJ Watt, Bud Dupree, and the Steelers. Philly got the upset win Sunday night against the banged up Niners while Pittsburgh has an unexpected bye week due to COVID. Take the better team who's rested.

Chiefs -11 v Raiders

I don't like giving the Chiefs too often, since they win almost every week. Patty should pick apart the Raiders secondary. I see KC scoring 35+ on Sunday.

Cowboys - 8 v Giants

The Giants haven't scored a touchdown in two weeks, and their offense might be more inept than the Jets, which is hard to believe. New York hasn't beaten the Boys since December 2016, and I can't see how they buck that trend this week.

Chargers +9 @ Saints

I've always been a believer in Justin Herbert and he's looking great 3 games into his career. We saw a vintage Saints performance last week against a bad Lions team, while LA blew a 3 touchdown lead to Brady and the Bucs. Anthony Lynn has his team playing hard, and I'd even sprinkle some money on the Chargers to win outright.
