Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 5
By Mike | October 6, 2007
No fancy introduction this week. Just picks. If you are the betting sort I’d recommend taking the opposite of what I suggest. You could come out quite well.
Carolina Panthers +3.5 at New Orleans Saints - This is tough one. Both teams have been very disappointing this year. I have a feeling that the Panthers get back on track by letting Steve Smith exploit the Saints defense, but I’ve been picking too many road dogs with horrible results and since this one is too close for me to call I’ll take the home team.
Jacksonville Jaguars -2 at Kansas City Chiefs - This is going to be a low scoring game, but the Chiefs will hold on for their second win.
Detroit Lions +3.5 at Washington Redskins - The Lions are starting to look good this year and I think they’ll slip by the Skins, or at least keep it close enough to cover.
Atlanta Falcons +8.5 at Tennessee Titans - I don’t know if I’m a believer in the Titans yet, but I like their chances against Atlanta.
Miami Dolphins +6 at Houston Texans - It feels weird picking the Texans to win anything, let alone by 6 points, but they it looks like they finally have a team this year.
Seattle Seahawks +6.5 at Pittsburgh Steelers - I’ve bet on the “angry after a loss take it out on their next opponent” line a bit this year, and usually been wrong, but I think the Steelers will be a bit cranky after losing to Arizona last week and they will demolish the Seahawks.
Cleveland Browns +17 at New England Patriots - I think 17 is the most points I’ve seen in a pro game. I have a feeling the Patriots will be up at least that much by halftime then take their foot of the gas, but until they lose a game by less than 17 I’m not picking agianst them especially when they are going against a team that gives up as many points as the Browns do. I expect this game to be like the Cleveland/Cincinnati game except this time the Browns don’t score very often.
Arizona Cardinals -3.5 at St. Louis Rams - What happened to the Rams? Underdogs at home against the Cardinals? And they’re without Steven Jackson and Isaac Bruce. It doesn’t look very good for them.
New York Jets +4 at New York Giants - If the Giant’s can make Philly’s offense look that horrible I don’t know what they are going to do to the Jets.
San Diego Chargers +0 at Denver Broncos - Both these teams are pretty bad, but I think the Chargers will go into Denver and come out with a win. Hopefully I’m not basing that decision too much on last year’s charger’s team.
Baltimore Ravens -3.5 at San Fransisco 49ers - I’m taking another team coming of an upset loss in the Ravens. I think they’ll end up shutting the Niners down this week.
Chicago Bears +3.5 at Green Bay Packers - If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years its that Green Bay absolutely embarrasses the Bears when they play on national TV. It pains me to say it but I don’t see how this week will be any different. Favre is having an amazing year, the Packers are rolling, the Bears are horrible this just won’t end up well.
Dallas Cowboys -11 at Buffalo Bills - I picked against the Cowboys last week and lost. No one has been able to stop their offense yet, and I don’t think the Bills will be the first.
