NFL Predictions Week V: You Can't Lose if You're Not Behind

Linehan reminds Dak that his 4th Quarter antics could cost them the loss while Garret watches the field in disgust as Lions narrowly lose to Dallas 24-26 in Week IV.
Best Doormat game ever last week between the Brownies and the Raydurz. Lots of bonehead football punctuated by moments of glory on both sides. 965 yards in offense, 87 points scored, 13 punts, 3 fumbles, and 4 interceptions. Glorious!

The keg and the nacho cheese bladder were empty by overtime, and I missed the final score standing in line at the liquor store. But we kept that party going until Tuesday, just in time for the Cubs vs Rockies marathon. Someone, please put out the sun, my eyes are killing’ me!

And now we turn our attention the a crucial week five in the NFL. I remind all Doormats, you can’t lose if you’re not behind. Take note Titans, you won again. You have to score fewer points than your opponent if you intend to stay on the Barcalounger! Cowboys, you too. You had that game lost! But the worst has to be the Texans. Colts did everything they could to win that game and you still just had to find a way to win in OT. What were you thinking?

Well, I hope the doormats find a way to stay behind this week. The turkey spins and here are the predictions:

Colts- 32
Patriots- 18
(Yeah, Pats probably win, but it is a Deflategate Rematch and Luck is healthy, so….)

Titans- 24
Bills- 15
(Titans get back on track)

Falcons- 28
Steelers- 24
(These are doormats?)

Broncos- 24
Jets-12
(Broncos get another win. Playoffs?)

Packers-38
Lions-17

Ravens- 28
Browns- 21
(Browns continue to play well, but well, they are playing better teams.)

Giants- 14
Panthers- 17

Raiders- 33
Chargers- 21
(What’s wrong with the Chargers? Oh, yeah, it’s the Chargers.)

Cardinals- 16
49ers- 24
(Cards continue march to the bottom. These guys are good, er bad, er…)

Vikings- 21
Eagles- 36
(Whoa, Vikings’ season is really going off the rails now)

Cowboys- 17
Texans- 21
(Stiff of the week!)

The Oracle has spoken!

  1. Chargers-Raiders another contest of 'top this one' mistakes. Raiders linebacker-secondary communication seems to be really inventive, or non-existent, depending on your view angle.

    49ers have a really ultra porous secondary. There are plays where they leave the tight end so open there is 15-20 yards with no one near them. It's impressive.

    Titans can't be losers. Marcus Mariota has way way too many 4th quarter comebacks (14) to get any kind of losing going that means anything.

  3. The Colts have given up 138 points, one less then league leader Tampa Bay. I should have taken them instead of Houston. Oh WELL, I could still switch, but we'll just have to hunker down for 3 weeks and WAIT.
