Dr. P’s Week 5 NFL Picks

Ravens –8.5 over Bengals

The Bengals are catching Ray Ray at bad time, plus the Ravens are at home. If Flacco continues to play well, Baltimore will win by double digits.
Fantasy Alert: Dominating performance by Ravens D

Buffalo –6 over Browns

It was an interesting week for the Browns including trading away their number one receiver for “possibly” hitting one of LeBron’s boys. I don’t see them covering this spread on the road.
Fantasy Alert: Trent Edwards should be a quality bye-week fill in.

Panthers –3.5 over Redskins

Carolina should be ready to go following a week off.
Fantasy Alert: Steve Smith finally does something

Steelers –10.5 over Lions

Steelers will win big. Stafford is banged up, and Pittsburgh has seemed to figure out their running game woes.
Fantasy Alert: Mendenhall will follow up his breakout game with big numbers

Cowboys –9 over Chiefs

Dallas is struggling but K.C. is just bad and they do not have enough offense to keep up with many teams in the league.
Fantasy Alert: Big game for MBIII if he is fully recovered.

Giants –16 over Raiders

The huge spread does not scare me at all. The Giants have too many weapons offensively for the Raiders to keep up with them. The only reason JaMarcus is still starting is because Bruce Gradkowsi is the backup.
Fantasy Alert: I would feel comfortable starting Jacobs and Bradshaw on my squad.

Eagles – 15 over Bucs

Philly is 2 for 2 this season blowing out bad teams, they will make it 3 for 3 this week.
Fantasy Alert: DeSean Jackson returns with a bank in Week 5

Vikings –10 over Rams

A let down game is very possible on the road for Minnesota following the big win Monday night, but for fortunately for them, they get St. Louis.
Fantasy Alert: Percy Harvin should have a big game unless he is used as a decoy again.

Texans +5.5 over Cardinals

Arizona is 0-2 at home. I’ll take the Texans explosive offense and points.
Fantasy Alert: I like studs (Fitz and Andre) having big games in a high scoring game.

Patriots –3.5 over Broncos

I think Hoody Jr.’s team hangs in there in their toughest test of the season, but Brady will be too much for them. I like the Pats by a touchdown.
Fantasy Alert: Knowshon should run through New England’s D just like the Ravens did last week

Jaguars over Seahawks (OFF)

I like Jacksonville to add to their two game winning streak on the road. The Jags have not lost since Del Rio cut the cord on the “David Garrard Show”.
Fantasy Alert: I like another big week for Garrard

Colts –4 over Titans

Tennessee will have no answer for Indy’s passing attack, despite the possible return of Finnegan.
Fantasy Alert: It’s a different player every week for the Colts, I’ll take Garcon in Week 5.

Jets –2 over Fins

Bounce back game for Sanchez and the Jets.
Fantasy Alert: Braylon will score in his first game for the J-E-T-S after admitting he was not 100% focused in Cleveland.
