NFL Predictions- Week 5

As I head into this week, I trail Dan by two games. I am hoping he has a down week and I continue to gain ground. Here are my picks:

Bears over Saints- This is a huge Thursday night game. It pretty much comes down to this: Winner stays alive, losers get ready for vacation.
Bucs over Falcons- This could be the game of the week. Both of these teams have been surprising this year.
Redskins over Bengals- Clinton Portis is upset, look out Bengals! Washington has been going downhill after starting so well.
Texans over Titans- This is my upset of the week. I like how the Texans are playing, they win at home.
Jags over Packers- Both of these teams have flopped for the most part. I give the edge to the Jags at home.
Dolphins over 49ers- The 49ers are playing well, but the Dolphins need this win to stay in the Wild Card hunt.
Seahawks over Rams- This could be the worst game of the week. I had to flip a coin for this one.
Jets over Bills- The Jets have lost two in a row and need this win in a really bad way. It is a good thing they are playing the Bills.
Chargers over Chiefs- I had a tough time with this one. The Chargers have not achieved like they were suppose to, the Chiefs are the Chiefs.
Colts over Lions- The Colts have won 5 in a row, make it six after playing the hapless Lions.
Cardinals over Vikings- The Vikings need this game way more than the Cardinals. The Cards clinched their division last week.
Ravens over Steelers- This actually could be the game of the week. Two good defenses. I like the home team.
Panthers over Broncos- This will be another good one. The Panthers will hold Cutler and Company down.
Patriots over Raiders- Do I think the Raiders can win? Yes.....But, Patriots usually find a way to win against bad teams. Remember last week?
Cowboys over Giants- Wow, this is a great week in the NFL. This again could be the game of the week. Dallas blew a big lead last week, they need this one to stay in the playoff hunt.
Eagles over Browns- Philly went to New York and won last week, the Browns are a total mess!
