If you’d asked last January who the two worst teams in the NFL were going to be going into Week 5, not very many people would have answered with the Kansas City Chiefs. And no sane person would have included the Indianapolis Colts on that list either.
Houston quarterback Matt Schuab will be going into Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders (2-2) without star wide receiver Andre Johnson. This development is a real test for the Texans (3-1) who have been having a great season that’s rested largely on Johnson’s shoulders.
The Bears got back to winning last week, taking a close one against rookie sensation Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. It was somewhat of a stunning result given they were beaten big time in the stats.
The Seattle Seahawks have looked pretty good over the last couple of weeks but in Week 5 they have the daunting task of heading to New York to take on a Giants squad that is brimming with confidence and one that will get two of their Stud defenders back at full strength.
Two former Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks duel in Week 5 when Kevin Kolb and the Arizona Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on Donovan McNabb and the 0-4 Vikings.
The Cincinnati Bengals tangle with the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday afternoon in a battle of a couple of cats trying to stay in the hunt in the AFC. Game time from EverBank Field is slated for 1 p.m. and it will be broadcast regionally on CBS.
Tennessee is the most pleasant surprise in the NFL season in my books. I thought this was a team that might win 6 games this year and heading into week 5 they are already half way to that total. Included among them was a victory over the Baltimore Ravens by 13 points, a Ravens team that beat Pittsburgh by 28 in week 1.
I bounced back with a nice Week 4 but Week 5 will be no easy task. Many of this week’s spreads look positively treacherous on paper. Let’s see if I can find some viable ones to try.
Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team.
The odds makers earned their keep last week as they split the favorites and the underdogs right down the middle at 8-8. The road teams had a slight advantage with 10 of 16 winning against the spread. Turning to the total line, for the first week since the start of the regular season, the results balanced out with nine games going ‘over’ and seven games staying ‘under.
The Philadelphia Eagles will try and snap a rare three-game losing streak when they travel to Ralph Wilson Stadium to take on the upstart Buffalo Bills this Sunday afternoon. The kick-off is slated for 1 p.m. and the game will be broadcast regionally on FOX.
The theme of Week 4: horrifically blown leads. Hope you didn’t change the channel or go work in the garden, as you would’ve missed some dandy second halves (and faced the embarrassment of telling your friends you were working in the garden).
Nobody was expecting the Indianapolis Colts to put up such a strong fight against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game that ended with a game-ending field goal in the dying seconds to cost the home side on Sunday Night Football.
The Saints (2-1) are the highest scoring team in the league and while the Jaguars (1-2) rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards per game they do have a solid defense. NFL lines have the Saints as 6.5-point away favorites with a total of 44.5
Does it need to be said that the Colts really miss Peyton Manning? No didn’t think so, but still without the 4-time MVP Indy ranks rank 28th in points (15.3 per game), 29th in total offense (254.0 yards) and 27th in passing yards per game (164.0 yards).
