One Stray Pea

Detroit Lions vs. Washington Redskins

I believe in you, Jon Kitna! I also believe that without a fully healthy Santana Moss and Clinton Portis, the Redskins don’t stand much of a chance. Plus, the Redskins barely pulled a win over Miami. These aren’t your ordinary Detriot Lions, fellas, this year they mean business. Detroit by 7.

Cleveland Browns vs. New England Patriots

Will the Browns pull an upset? HA! Not unless Bill Belichick replaces his entire team with a pee-week squad and a troop of Brownies. I don’t care how good they looked last week against the Ravens, the Ravens are “to’ up�?? and Steve McNair has no business playing right now, he looks foolish. The Browns aren’t known for being a consistent team either. Let the onslaught commence, Patriots by 28.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Here we are in week 5 and the Steelers are just now playing a team worth it’s weight in licensed NFL merchandise. However, these are two teams who lost to the Cardinals, that’s pretty demoralizing. Maybe Charlie Frye can send a tray of baked goods to the Steelers side, as a thank you for helping him lose his starting job in Cleveland. I hope Seattle wins, by 10. I also hope Pittsburgh runs that retarded reversal they have, you know the one where Big Ben becomes a “blocker�??, but in reality all he does is fall on the ground.

Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams *NFC West Match-Up*

Two teams with quarterback woes. Ken Whisenhunt can relish in the fact that when (not if) Matt Leinart starts the suck, he can call up (old) Kurt Warner to make things right again. What do the Rams have to look to? Their starting quarterback is out this week because his ribs are held together by nothing more than duct tape and a dream. Their second string guy is someone I’ve never heard of, so I’m sure he’ll come out fighting. Plus, those Rams fans, they love them some Kurt Warner. I predict the Cardinals to win by 10, and the fans in St. Louis will be cheering louder for Kurt than anyone else.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City has turned on the wins, and I fully believe they’ll continue this streak this week with a 10 point win over Jacksonville. David Garrard doesn’t have such good luck there at Arrowhead. Jack Del Rio will be crying in his Gatorade.

Carolina Panthers vs. New Orleans Saints *NFC South Match-Up*

Coming off the bye week, the Saints had better be well rested and ready to march if they have any chance of a win this week. Jake Delhomme’s elbow is all messed up, David Carr (formerly of the very dismal Texans) might have to play. I hope Drew and Reggie are able to pull it together this week and get over the loss of McAllister. I’m picking the Saints again, but only by 3 or less. I hear that Saints fans, while disappointed, are much more comfortable with a losing team. They didn’t know what to do last year with all of that winning going on.

New York Jets vs. New York Giants

It’s the Battle of New York! We all know I heart Eli, even though he should consider changing his first name to “Not Peyton�??. I fully believe that he will lead the Giants passed Chad Pennington and the Jets. Giants by 10.

Miami Dolphins vs. Houston Texans

Joey Porter will not be pleased..again, as the Dolphins will fall to 0-5 this week. The foul-mouthed loud-mouth will only get louder this week, as the Steelers continue to prove how much they don’t miss him. I predict the Texans to win by 14.

Atlanta Falcons vs. Tennessee Titans

Hmm, Vince Young vs. Joey Herrington? Vince Young, of course! I don’t think the Atlanta defense will be stopping the quarterback rush, or any other runs for that matter. DeAngelo Hall will probably start crying again as well. I pick the Titans by 14.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Indianapolis Colts

I hate to say this, but I think Tampa Bay could pull an upset. I say could, but what I mean is won’t. Call me biased, but Peyton will pretty much always get my vote. The Bucs have a lot of injuries to overcome and I think it’ll be another week before that happens. Colts by 7 again, because they always keep it pretty close.

Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49’ers

Normally, this game would look pretty lame to me. However, with the very injured Ravens making the trip out west, to play the equally injured 49’ers, this could be battle of the second strings. At this point, Steve McNair really looks like second string and should consider sitting out instead of doing what appears to be a pregnant waddle around out there. It’s really not very manly, Steve. I pick the Ravens by 3.

San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos

The San Diego Chargers are trying to overcome Norv Turner and a host of bad attitudes. The Denver Broncos have to overcome repeated poor performances by Jay Cutler and gang. Let’s be honest, the Broncos have beat two teams that aren’t all that impressive, which makes the Broncos equally unimpressive. I’m giving the Chargers my vote one more time, Chargers by 3.

Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers

The Packers are on fire, the Bears are in disarray. Favre is on fire, the Bear’s have no quarterback, they are just kind of shuffling guys around in the spot until someone can throw more TD’s than interceptions. Green Bay by 3.

Dallas Cowboys vs. Buffalo Bills

You’re kidding, right? I’m supposed to get excited about this game? Well, with JP Losman benched and crying about his MCL, that gives the Bills a better chance of putting up a fight, but who are we kidding? There will be no Dallas upset this week, Cowboys by 17.
