Football Sunday

WEEK FIVE

 

RESULTS:

Week Four

Week Three

Week Two

Week One

 

 

Week Four Record:  9-4-1

Overall Record:  26-25-3

Schmear of the Week:  4-0 (3x Bagels)

Bagels in the Basket:  +10

 

 

Coin Toss: 

• Is it me, or have there been more trades this season than usual for the NFL?

• No respect for home teams this week.

 

Second and Short:

• The AFC East and AFC West are the NFL's top two divisions, with eleven victories.  The NFC East is last with only four victories in the entire division.

• Five undefeated teams remain - New England, Denver, Kansas City, New Orleans and Seattle.  The Broncos lead the NFL in points scored by a very wide margin over the second place Chicago Bears.

Punt:

• Heading into Week Five, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants are still winless.  Go figure.  They join lowly Jacksonville and Tampa Bay as the four remaining teams still without a victory.

• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on the verge of a mutiny.  Coach Schiano is making enemies of his players and the owner. 

 

 

 

....let's roll some Bagels!

 

 

WEEK FIVE:

Friday Line - NYDN

 

 

GIANTS -2 1/2 (Eagles)

There will be no defense to speak of from either team in this game.  I think the GMen will finally win a shoot-out.

GIANTS: Do It For The Duke, Or Else

GIANTS: How Much Is That Offensive Lineman In The Window?

GIANTS: Linebacker; Jerry Reese Adds Another Weak Link In The Chain

Loss; 36-21 Eagles

 

 

Chiefs -2 1/2 (TITANS)

 Not too crazy about picking against the Titans at home.  But this spread left me no choice.

Win; 26-17 Chiefs

 

 

Ravens +3 (DOLPHINS)

Baltimore just made a trade to bolster their offensive line.  I think Miami gets humbled at home.

Push; 26-23 Ravens

 

 

Jaguars +11 1/2 (RAMS)

I'm looking for the Jags to cover this, nothing more.

Loss; 34-20 Rams

 

 

Patriots +1 (BENGALS)

Vegas doesn't have much confidence in home teams this week.  New England has been far more consistent than the Bengals.

Loss; 13-6 Bengals

 

 

Seahawks -3 (COLTS)

The Colts defense will keep this respectable.  But this is still like stealing candy from a baby.

Loss; 34-28 Colts

 

 

Lions +7 (PACKERS)

I like the Lions to cover this game.  Winning is another matter.  However, only two teams have put up more points than Detroit.

Loss; 22-9 Packers

 

 

Saints pick'em (BEARS)

Drew Brees is only starting to get warmed up.  But have you seen what New Orleans has been doing defensively?

Win; 26-18 Saints

 

 

CARDINALS +2 (Panthers)

I said it last week - I like when the Cardinals are getting points.

Win; 22-0 Cardinals

 

 

Chargers -5 (RAIDERS)

Phillip Rivers likes playing in the Black Hole, but more importantly, he's trying to not let Denver and Kansas City get too far away.

Loss; 27-17 Raiders

 

 

Broncos -7 1/2 (COWBOYS)

It's going to smell like toast in Texas this Sunday.  Cowboys owner Jerry Jones spent how much on his cornerbacks?  Wait till Peyton fires them up.

Loss; 51-48 Broncos

 

 

Texans +7 (49ERS)

Great game for Sunday night.  Just looking for the Texans to cover.  As stated above, there is no respect for home teams this week.

Loss; 34-3 49ers

 

 

Schmear of the Week:

Chargers -5

Loss

 

 

That's fifteen Bagels into the oven.  Good Luck everybody, and have a Happy Football Sunday!
