The Bears got back to winning last week, taking a close one against rookie sensation Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. It was somewhat of a stunning result given they were beaten big time in the stats.
The Seattle Seahawks have looked pretty good over the last couple of weeks but in Week 5 they have the daunting task of heading to New York to take on a Giants squad that is brimming with confidence and one that will get two of their Stud defenders back at full strength.
Two former Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks duel in Week 5 when Kevin Kolb and the Arizona Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on Donovan McNabb and the 0-4 Vikings.
The Cincinnati Bengals tangle with the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday afternoon in a battle of a couple of cats trying to stay in the hunt in the AFC. Game time from EverBank Field is slated for 1 p.m. and it will be broadcast regionally on CBS.
Tennessee is the most pleasant surprise in the NFL season in my books. I thought this was a team that might win 6 games this year and heading into week 5 they are already half way to that total. Included among them was a victory over the Baltimore Ravens by 13 points, a Ravens team that beat Pittsburgh by 28 in week 1.
The Philadelphia Eagles will try and snap a rare three-game losing streak when they travel to Ralph Wilson Stadium to take on the upstart Buffalo Bills this Sunday afternoon. The kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast regionally on FOX.
Rex Ryan helped create this Baltimore defense, but now he’s looking to help the Jets beat the Ravens. Last year it was the Ravens who came up with a 10-9 win at New York in the season opener. Both teams enter this game at 2-1 on the year, and both of them have high hopes for the season ahead.
The Chargers, who have a propensity for starting off every season slowly, have to be feeling pretty good that they are boasting a winning record as they head into a Week 4 AFC battle with the struggling Miami Dolphins.
When the New England Patriots fell short on the road against the Buffalo Bills last week in a loss that ended their 15-game winning streak over their AFC East rivals, there were more than a few heads that turned as a result of the final score.
Who would have ever guessed that the Buffalo Bills would start the season 3-0? In the early 1990’s this was a strong franchise, but for the last few years they have been bottom feeders. Chan Gailey is doing a great job of instilling confidence in this team.
The pickings don’t look very easy in week for of NFL betting, so here’s a bonus four-game set to choose from in case yesterday’s picks didn’t float your boat.
The New York Giants, coming off their most impressive performance in the young season travel east on Sunday to take on a Cardinals team that is coming off perhaps their worst performance of the year.
The San Francisco 49ers will look to make an early statement in the NFC West with a victory over the struggling Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. The kick-off in this one is slated for 1 p.m. (ET) and the game will be broadcast regionally on FOX.
The Detroit Lions will try and remain one of the few undefeated teams in the league when they square-off against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday afternoon at Cowboy Stadium. Game time is set for 1 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on FOX.
The Denver Broncos are 1-2 but all of their games have been close, decided by three points or less. Last week they were winning late but Matt Hasselbeck was able to engineer a Titans TD drive in the closing minutes for Tennessee to steal the game.
Minnesota is the most surprising of the group of teams that is currently 0-3. Not because they are any good but because in all three of their games they held double digit leads only to give them up over the course of the second half and lose – most recently to Detroit in overtime.
