Take Skins, Rams, Panthers, Broncs In Week 5
The Redskins (+4) enter the Meadowlands with Mark Brunell drunk off the fountain of youth. The Giants defense is not as bad as it has been the first four weeks of the season and frankly giving the Skins four points seems too high. Take it even though any game in the parity-stricken NFC East is a toss up.
Any Packers game against a passable team like Rams (-3)is fraught with uncertainty. No matter what Brett Favre does; three touchdowns or four interception, he still God to the cheeseheads. Marc Bulger and the Rams should be able to exploit Green Bay's secondary for 30 points, which giving a field goal to the Pack seems highly profitable.
Carolina (-8 1/2) is ready to explode, while the lonely Browns are hot off a victory against the only team they can feel like studs while beating (Oakland). The Panthers d-line should be able to rouse Charlie Frye out of the pocket and they rustle him to the ground, unless, that is, he throws and errant pass. This should be a blowout for the home-standing Panthers.
This game should be a pick 'em game. The fact that Denver (-3 1/2) is playing Monday Night in front of the fans at Invesco is probably the difference. Baltimore's defense is very impressive, but for some reason I keep mixing up Miami's inept Daunte Culpepper with the Ravens' Steve McNair. It might be Freudian, but maybe it's saying Denver in a close game.
The Record: 10-3-1.
Last Week: 1-2.
The Wager: $20 Pick 4
The Winnings: $300.00
