"The Expert"s Picks (Week 5)
Week 5 Picks and Comments
Last Week 10-4
Season 44-18
This is the week we see what some teams are made of,
Is Cincinnati, Denver, The Jets, and 49rs good?
and Are the Titans, Dolphins, Panthers and Cards going to be huge disappointments.
Cincinnati 23---Ravens 24 (Still do not believe in the Bengals, Ravens want to get back on track)
Browns 10--Bills 28 (T.O. has a huge game against the Very very bad Browns, The Mangini watch is ticking)
Redskins 10---Panthers 13 (Panthers get their first win in this version of the "Toilet Bowl"
Steelers 27--Lions 16 (Sorry Lion Fans, You still have a ways to go, Steelers want to start a winning streak)
Cowboys 27---Chiefs 6 (Chiefs just the medicine Romo and Company needs)
Raiders 3--Giants 43 (Carr Starts and Gets 5 TD Passes and 437 Yards then Raiders Trade 5 # 1 Draft picks to Giants for Carr)
Yucs 0--Eagles 34 (McNabb Gets 3 TD Passes then Vick comes in and leads them to a 85 Yard drive ending in a 18 Yard TD Pass)
Vikings 35--Rams 3 (Favre gets 300 Yards 3 TD, Peterson 160 Yards 2 TDs, But Favre gets roughed up late but it won't show till about week 11)
Falcons 21--49rs 17 (49rs play tough but Falcons just has a little too much)
Texans 20---Cards 24 (Cards pull out a win in an ugly game)
Patriots 24--Broncos 13 (Teacher (Belichick) shows Student (McDaniels) that He still knows best, Broncos begin their Crash to Earth this week)
Jaguars 17--Seahawks 23 (Ugly game by 2 very mediocre teams, (Call this the Take a Nap Bowl)
Sunday Night
Colts 38--Titans 17 (It just gets worst for the Titans, Vince Young takes over as QB in the 3rd Qtr and throws 2 TD Passes)
Monday Night
Jets 24--Dolphins 13 (Wildcat works a couple of times but Defense of the Jets will frustrate Henne and The 35,000 Dolphin fans among the 70,000 fans in Jets Stadium South) Braylon Edwards makes a 54 Yard TD Reception in his first catch.

Rambling Thoughts Of A Nutball
Baseball.
Looking at a Twins win Today as the Tigers Complete a Choke Job not seen since the 64 Phillies
If the Twins win I would have Correctly Predicted all 4 AL Playoff teams and 2 of the 4 NL Teams.
I missed badly on the Reds. and missed the Cubs. I did say watch out for the Cards but I still missed them having a solid season. I also did not expect the Yankees to do as well as they did.
Here is the link to my Post in April
http://nutballgazette.blogspot.com/2009/04/2009-predictions.html
1st Round I am picking the
Yankees over the Twins/Tigers winner in 4
Angels to Finally figure out the Red Sox in 4 (Red Sox pitching is off and the Angels will run Veretek into Retirement)
Rockies to stun the Phillies in 5
Cards to beat the Dodgers in 4
Football
I was a medicore 10-4 this past week
>Mark Sanchez sure looked like a rookie for the Jets but I still am encourged by the Defense
>I am stunned on how bad the Titans are playing. I expect Vince Young to be starting very soon
>Rumors of the Patriots demise are greatly exaregerated, But Ravens are still real good
>Browns blow maybe one of only 2 or 3 chances to win a game in Eric Manginis last year as a head coach in the NFL
>The Yucs are really bad, I look for a couple of 12+ loss seasons and total disintrest in Tampa Bay football in Tampa just like it was from the early 80s till late 90s. At Lesat Tampa has the Gators and now USF Bulls to root for,
>The Rams?? Are they still in the NFL?
>It is going to be a long season in Dallas, Maybe Jerry Jones will dump The Coaching staff and get a real football man to run the team, This is the only way they ever will return to prominance in the NFL.
>What is going on in Denver? They just might be alot better this year than anyone thought, Though not next week vs the Patriots (Just a side note on Former Patriot Ast Coach McDaniel, He is sucseeding in his 1st year, But so did so did the worst coach in NFL History Eric Mangini)
{Yes Mangini is worst than Rich Kotite}
>San Diego looks like the biggest disappointment of the season in Norv Turners last season ever as a NFL Head Coach.
>Finally Brett Favre. Truly amazing. But I still do not think he can keep it going all season, He is 40 years old (on Oct 10th)
