Sooner or later, football fans are going to have to admit the Broncos (4-0) are for real. New England (3-1) poses Denver&#8217;s stiffest challenge yet, especially with Tom Brady looking more comfortable each week.  <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/handicappers\/\"><strong>LOOKING FOR THE BEST NFL TIPS ONLINE? CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR WEEK 5 NFL PICKS &#8212;&#8211;&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>ATLANTA FALCONS @ SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 4:05 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: 49ers -2.5<\/p>\n<p>The Falcons (2-1) surprised everyone with an 11-win season and playoff appearance last year\u2014are the 49ers (2-1) on a similar path in 2009? Matt Ryan and Michael Turner will try slowing down San Fran&#8217;s postseason drive, but Patrick Willis and the 49ers defense have been nearly impenetrable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOUSTON TEXANS @ ARIZONA CARDINALS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 4:15 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Cardinals -5.5<\/p>\n<p>Bet the over on this one. With Matt Schaub, Kurt Warner, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, Anquan Boldin, Steve Slaton and Beanie Wells in the mix, Arizona (1-2) and Houston&#8217;s (2-2) offenses look like fantasy football all-star teams. Both teams are desperate for wins so they&#8217;ll take no prisoners on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CINCINNATI BENGALS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Ravens -9<\/p>\n<p>The Bengals (3-1) scraped by the lowly Browns last week; now, with a win, they can claim first-place in the AFC North. The Ravens (3-1), who own the second-highest scoring offense in the NFL, aren&#8217;t going to give it up easily\u2014and they have something to prove after a loss to New England.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INDIANAPOLIS COLTS @ TENNESSEE TITANS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 8:20 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Colts -3.5<\/p>\n<p>The Titans (0-4) have already lost more games in four weeks than they did in four months last year\u2014now it&#8217;s do-or-die time against the Colts (4-0). A win keeps Tennessee&#8217;s razor-thin playoff hopes alive; a loss means we&#8217;ll probably see Vince Young take over at quarterback as planning for 2010 begins.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NEW YORK JETS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS<\/strong><br \/>\nMonday, October 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Jets -2<\/p>\n<p>Rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez came crashing back to earth last weekend in a blowout to the Saints. The Jets (3-1) could have their hands full with Miami (1-3) this weekend; wins in the AFC East never come easily, and the Dolphins crushed the Bills in Week 4.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DALLAS COWBOYS @ KANSAS CITY CHIEFS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Cowboys -8.5<\/p>\n<p>Few could have predicted a Week 5 game against the hapless Chiefs (0-4) would mean so much to Dallas (2-2). Tony Romo, Wade Phillips, the Cowboys cheerleaders\u2014everyone is taking heat in Big D right now. If the Cowboys don&#8217;t get their act together fast, winning the NFC East is nothing but a pipe dream.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OAKLAND RAIDERS @ NEW YORK GIANTS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Giants -16<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s early, but the Giants (4-0) look like an early Super Bowl favorite. The defense has been dominant while Steve Smith has flourished as Plaxico Burress&#8217; replacement. That&#8217;s bad news for a Raiders (1-3) team that is completely melting down; in fact, their coach might literally be arrested this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PITTSBURGH STEELERS @ DETROIT LIONS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Steelers -10.5<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers (2-2) bounced back last week thanks to a dominating performance by second-year back Rashard Mendenhall. If Pittsburgh&#8217;s new-found ground game is as good as advertised, the Lions (1-3) don&#8217;t stand a chance\u2014especially with rookie quarterback Matt Stafford nursing a knee injury. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/baff.betonline.com\/aspx\/affiliateGetImage.aspx?ID_SC=2225&amp;ID_I=1912\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ ST. LOUIS RAMS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Vikings -10<\/p>\n<p>Brett Favre had his most impressive game with the Vikings (4-0) last week in a dominating effort against the Packers. Now Minnesota must be wary of not looking past the floundering Rams (0-4), as the Ravens visit the Metrodome in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ CAROLINA PANTHERS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Panthers -3.5<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t feel like it, but the Redskins (2-2) are still very much in playoff contention. The winless Panthers (0-3) face an uphill battle to sneak into the postseason; if they&#8217;re going to pull off a miracle, it must start with a win over Washington.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Eagles -14.5<\/p>\n<p>Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook are practicing this week and both are expected to start for the Eagles (2-1) this weekend. With Tampa Bay (0-4) allowing over 25 points per game, this should be a nice ease-in game for the duo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS @ SEATTLE SEAHAWKS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 4:15 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: NO LINE<\/p>\n<p>The scrappy Jaguars (2-2) are keeping themselves in the playoff discussion thanks to two straight divisional victories. Seattle (1-3) still has a shot in the underwhelming NFC West, but it could use a healthy Matt Hasselbeck this week; he&#8217;s recovering from cracked ribs and his status is unknown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CLEVELAND BROWNS @ BUFFALO BILLS<\/strong><br \/>\nSunday, October 11 at 1:00 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSpread: Bills -6<\/p>\n<p>The struggling Browns (0-4) took Cincy to overtime last week but the meltdown continues\u2014receiver Braylon Edwards was shipped off to the Jets. Buffalo (1-3) was absolutely crushed by the Dolphins but beating the winless Browns will right the ship.<\/p>\n<h3>EARN POINTS WITH EVERY PLAY YOU MAKE &#8211; Accumulate and redeem Loyalty Points for Free Play bonuses or merchandise in our online store.
