Phil's NFL Picks, Week 5

Falcons (1-3) @ Titans (2-1)
So Atlanta signed Byron Leftwich because....?
PICK: TITANS
Zach's thought: Who knows? Titans

Jaguars (2-1) @ Chiefs (2-2)
This game could set offensive football back by 10 years.
PICK: JAGUARS
Zach's thought: I can't believe I was smart enough to take Jacksonville.

Cardinals (2-2) @ Rams (0-4)
Four games after signing a 6-year extension, Marc Bulger is benched.
PICK: CARDINALS
Zach's thought: Looks like trouble for the Rams. Cardinals

Browns (2-2) @ Patriots (4-0)
Fast Fact: The combined record of teams New England has played thus far is a mere 4-12
PICK: PATRIOTS
Zach's thought: Derek has got to be smarter with the ball on the NE 2. Patriots.

Panthers (2-2) @ Saints (0-3)
New Orleans has had a bye to focus on what really has become a must win game against Carolina.
PICK: SAINTS
Zach's thought: And I took the Saints for some reason.

Jets (1-3) @ Giants (2-2)
Can I just say the New York team wins this one?
PICK: GIANTS
Zach's thought: Uh... no. Giants

Seattle (3-1) @ Pittsburgh (3-1)
Here's hoping the Super Bowl XL rematch provides a better game this time around.
PICK: STEELERS
Zach's thought: The AFC's best teams are just better. Steelers.

Lions (3-1) @ Redskins (2-2)
After a huge fourth quarter win last week, Detroit is due for a let-down.
PICK: REDSKINS
Zach's thought: The Redskins are a great tease, but I was smart enough to pick them.

Dolphins (0-4) @ Texans (2-2)
What the heck was Trent Green thinking when he chose to go to Miami?
PICK: TEXANS
Zach's thought: So, the Dolphins are coming in winless to Browns Stadium. Great. Texans.

Buccaneers (3-1) @ Colts (4-0)
Big test to see if Tampa Bay's defense is really back to their old form.
PICK: COLTS
Zach's thought: Does anyone really believe TB is any good?

Chargers (1-3) @ Broncos (2-2)
At the quarter mark of this season, the Sophomore Slump Starter Award goes to Philip Rivers.
PICK: BRONCOS
Zach's thought: Norv Turner has to be breathing easier tonight. SD

Ravens (2-2) @ 49ers (2-2)
Upset Special: Trent Dilfer gets a small measure of revenge against the team he guided to a Super Bowl win.
PICK: 49ERS
Zach's thought: The Ravens may have found an offense worse than them. Ravens.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Bears (1-3) @ Packers (4-0)
If this keeps up, the chants for Kyle Orton will soon start up in Chicago.
PICK: PACKERS
Zach's thought: So close to a great week. Packers.

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Cowboys (4-0) @ Bills (1-3)
ESPN must be thrilled to broadcast a game that could be over by halftime.
PICK: COWBOYS
Zach's thought: That's pretty much been every week though, right? Cowboys.

BYES

Bengals (1-3)
Is it about time for Marvin Lewis be on the hot seat in the Queen City?

Eagles (1-3)
Ugly stat of week 4 was Donovan McNabb taking 12 sacks

Raiders (2-2)
Oakland won two games total last year.

Vikings (1-3)
Adrian Peterson needs to become a bigger part of the offense.

LAST WEEK: 8-6 Z: 6-8
OVERALL: 41-21 Z: 34-28
