Regular Season Week 6
If you had told me a year ago that the Colts would be 0-5 and the Lions would be 5-0 headed into week 6 of the 2011 season I would have laughed in your face. Maybe the world really is coming to an end. This weekend was a nightmare for my teams. And drowning my sorrows didn’t help. I’m pretty sure I still have a headache and its Tuesday afternoon as I write this. The only thing that makes me feel a little bit better is that the Eagles are 1-4 and Brett Favre is still retired.
Other big football news this week is that Tim Tebow will be the Bronco’s starting QB. They have also decided to have the 2015 Super Bowl in Glendale Arizona again. Remember that last time it was there? Probably one of the best nights of my life, hands down! Awwwww memories… As much as it pains me to do this lets recap last week 5.
Philadelphia @ Buffalo 24-31
Things started off great in Buffalo where the Bills beat the Eagles. (At least one of NY’s teams won)
New Orleans @ Carolina 30-27
I was right, it was a close game but the Saints came out on top. Carolina looks better and better every week. If Shockey could have caught a ball in the second half of the game the Panthers might have come out with a win. It’s ok Jeremy I still love you.
Oakland @ Houston 25-20
Oakland played their hearts out Sunday afternoon. As sad as Al Davis’ passing was for the nation I think it gave the Raiders the little something they needed to pull together and win this game.
Kansas City @ Indianapolis 28-24
I thought the Colts had this one all wrapped up but they forgot that there were four quarters of play and not just the first two. On a good note Painter didn’t throw any interceptions and this is something we could not say about Collins. Maybe next week the Colts will play the entire game… being the only team 0-5 hurts.
Cincinnati @ Jacksonville 30-20
This is another game I got wrong. It’s amazing how many things can change in a year. Jacksonville won 8 games last year and now they have only won 1 this year. The Bengals won 4 games last year and have already won 3 this year.
Arizona @ Minnesota 10-34
Yay for the Vikings! They got their first W this past weekend! I knew they could do it! McNabb saved his job for at least another week. Adrian Peterson was a big help in the win scoring 3 touchdowns in the first quarter. He also helped me win in my fantasy league. Glad I started that guy.
Seattle @ New York Giants 36-25
This game made me almost vomit… literally. Being that I live in North Carolina I rarely get to see the Giants games on TV if the Panthers game is on. I was hoping the Carolina game would get done early so they would switch it to the Giants. So the Panthers game ended and they did switch to the Giants game with a minute left and the Giants were 1st and goal. I was soooo happy because I’d been following the game on my phone and knew they were behind but we were just about to score. And then I saw Manning throw the ball to Cruz, and Cruz bobbled it, and it slipped out of his hands and into the hands of Browner of the Seahawks… I said, “I think I’m going to be sick” and walked away. So disappointed. I can’t talk about this anymore.
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh 17-38
The Steelers ended the Titans 3 game-winning streak this past Sunday. Big Ben played with a sprained foot, which I think the Titans didn’t know about or didn’t use to their advantage because he threw for 5 touchdowns. Way to go Titans…
Tampa Bay @ San Francisco 3-48
I’m not sure what happened here. Maybe Tampa thought they were playing at home and that’s why they didn’t show up to the game. With a score like this one I was expecting to hear on sports center “Montana to Rice” a couple few times. Either way the 49ers are looking pretty legit.
San Diego @ Denver 29-24
This was an exciting game to watch (not so much the first half) Fox finally decided to put Tebow in in the 3rd quarter and the whole stadium came to life. I’ve actually never seen a crowd so happy about a loss. Tim almost brought the team to a victory after an amazing rally. (It would have helped if his receivers could have hung onto the balls that were thrown their way). I too am glad to see Timmy in action on the field. It’s hard not to want to see the good guys succeed.
New York Jets @ New England 21-30
The Jets could have had this game but they just aren’t the boys they were last year. It’s never easy to watch New England beat a NY team. I have nothing more to say about this.
Green Bay @ Atlanta 25-14
I only watched the first half of this game and it wasn’t looking good for the Packers.
In this case it was a good thing there were four quarters. The Falcons didn’t let the Packers score a touchdown the entire first half but Rodgers and the boys got the ball rolling in the second half. They had 25 unanswered points. The Packers are still perfect.
Chicago @ Detroit 13-24
I wasn’t really surprised that the Lions won this one. This is the first time they’ve been 5-0 since 1956. Calvin Johnson is a monster. They are actually calling him Megatron. For all my Lions fans let me say “it’s about time isn’t it?!”
9W-4L picks for week 5
WEEK 6
Carolina (1-4) @ Atlanta (2-3) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
Carolina has had a lot of close games and I think that they can win this week. I’m picking the Panthers.
Indianapolis (0-5) @ Cincinnati (3-2) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
I’d love nothing more than to see Indi win a game. Maybe they’ll do it this week but I’m not going to put money on it. I’m picking the Bengals.
San Francisco (4-1) @ Detroit (5-0) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
This is going to be a tough game for Detroit but I think they’ll go 6-0.
St. Louis (0-4) @ Green Bay (5-0) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
I’m picking the Packers. It’s pretty much a no brainer.
Buffalo (4-1) @ New York Giants (3-2) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
Well the Giants seem to be playing at their opponent’s level. So I’m going to have to pick the GMEN to win this game. (That and I never pick against them) Dear, Giants please, please, please don’t let me down this Sunday. My liver can’t take another loss right now. Love, Shenoa
Jacksonville (1-4) @ Pittsburgh (3-2) [Sunday 1pm CBS]
Although I’d love to see Jacksonville kill Pittsburgh I just don’t see it happening. I’m picking the Steelers
Philadelphia (1-4) @ Washington (3-1) [Sunday 1pm FOX]
Let me first say that the Giants need help in their division, therefore I need both of these teams to do poorly. Because Washington is doing better than Philly I’d like to see Washington lose. Actually I’d like to see a tie. But I don’t think that’ll happen. I’m hoping the Eagles can pull off a win, but I don’t see that happening either. I guess what I’m trying to say is Washington is going to win and I’m not happy about it.
Houston (3-2) @ Baltimore (3-1) [Sunday 4:05pm CBS]
I’m going with Baltimore.
Cleveland (2-2) @ Oakland (3-2) [Sunday 4:05pm CBS]
I’m going to have to pick Oakland for the win.
Dallas (2-2) @ New England (4-1) [Sunday 4:15pm FOX]
Ugh. This is kind of like the Eagles/Redskins game. I’m hoping for a tie. But I’m picking New England to win. PS I HATE THE COWBOYS AND THE PATS….
True Story.
New Orleans (4-1) @ Tampa Bay (3-2) [Sunday 4:15pm FOX]
I’m going to pick the Saints for the win.
Minnesota (1-4) @ Chicago (2-3) [Sunday 8:20pm NBC]
As much as I’d like to pick Chicago to win I really feel like Minnesota is going to come in with the upset. This is my crazy pick of the week. I’m going with the Vikings.
Miami (0-4) @ New York Jets (2-3) [MNF 8:30pm ESPN]
The Jets need this win. I’m picking NY.
If your team is the Cardinals, Broncos, Chiefs, Chargers, Seahawks, or Titans you can breathe easy knowing you can’t lose this weekend. You’ve got a bye week.
GO GMEN AND COLTS!
Thanks Mom and Kristen for the editing! Love you guys!
