WEEK 5 (11-5-1 SEASON +19 UNITS)

My week 5 picks with short explanation..

Going with the Sunday morning lines...

2 Units Vikings -10 (buying 1 point) (WIN)

Could be a trap game, but Favre looks good, AP is AP and Jared Allen doesnt even see an offensive line in front of him, all he see's is a big target where the QB stands. This game could easily be 31-7 or 31-14....Almost have to take the risk even if it does seem like a strange line with the way Minn is playing.

4units on the Patriots -3 (LOSS)
I keep telling myself one of these weeks will be the 40 point explosion. I know I know the Denver defense blah blah blah. I dont care, one of these weeks its going to happen no matter what the defense out there has done. As far as I'm concerned the games against Cleveland and Oakland do not count, so the only good offense Denver has faced is Dallas, and even that is debateable. Without Fred Taylor, we may see Belichick commit to the pass. And I like the Pats odds to win if they let Tom loose for 40 or 50 passes.

2 units on colts -3.5 (WIN)
Can we all just give in and agree that Tennessee is just not good? If David Garrard can carve up their defense, I think Peyton wont have trouble. BUT just in case I may buy 1 point down to 2.5 so I get the win if Colts let Tennessee stay in the game.

2 units on the Jets (LOSS)
Normally I'd say put 4 units on the jets, but the "expert picks" and all the reading I've done people seem to think Miami will stay in the game. After seeing what the Jets D did to Brady and Co. a few weeks back, I'm convinced that Chad Henne will have trouble this week. But just in case, I'll be conservative.

I have a good feeling about going 4-0 this week!!
(RESULT: 2-2 FOR -2 UNITS)
