Here are PICKS4PLAYERS BEST BETS for NFL week 5.
As a special treat for our loyal followers, we are giving you free direct access to our 5 star selections in the Pro Football Weekly National Handicapper’s Bowl. We are currently in 3rd place in the overall standings and have correctly selected 4 straight FIVE STAR games.
This Sunday we have 2 games which we feel are 5 STAR worthy
Kansas City @ Washington, 1pm EST
Current Line: Washington -6 ½
Washington coach Jim Zorn is on the hot seat and he has never beating an AFC foe. There is a lot of panic and distraction in DC and we are not talking health care. Washington is playing good defense but a look inside the numbers show they have faced some of the worst offenses in the NFL. Look for KC to be able to move the ball and keep this close enough to cover the number.
Our Pick: Kansas City +6 ½
Philadelphia @ Oakland, 4:05pm EST
Current Line: Philadelphia -14
The Eagle defense is going to make life very tough on poor old Jamarcus Russell. He has 3 different offensive linemen who have to figure out the Eagle blitz scheme. Even the best of offensive lines have trouble with the zone blitzes. The Philly offense just needs to score 21 points to cover this number.
Our Pick: Philadelphia -14
Best of the Rest as we see it at P4P, and as always, our Picks are FREE, FREE, FREE!!!
Baltimore @ Minnesota, 1 pm EST
Current Line: Minnesota – 3
Did anyone see the hit that Ray Lewis put on a defenseless Ochocinco last week. While Chad’s helmet flew off it is a miracle that his head stayed on. If you think there was passion behind that hit just imagine how the Ravens are aching to hit Brett Favre. Brett’s never been on a 5-0 team and this dream ride he’s been on for the start of the season will take a hit today. Look for the Ravens in an outright upset and take them on the money line if you feel lucky.
Our Pick: Baltimore +3
Our best picks on the TOTALs side of the action:
New England vs. Tennessee total points: 40 4:15 pm EST
While the weather will not be ideal, the Patriots will look to get Tom Brady’s timing back against two rookie corners. Brady single-handedly lost the game last week against the Broncos with two horrendous passes, one to Moss in the End Zone and one to Welker that would have most likely been a score. Nobody feels worse than Brady and look for them to put up a lot of points. Kerry Collins will answer a few times as well.
Our Pick: OVER 40
New Orleans vs NY Giants total points: 47 1/2 1 pm EST
OUR Pick: OVER 47 ½
Arizona vs. Seattle total points: 46 ½ 8:30 pm EST
OUR Pick: OVER 46 1/2
