NFL Week 5 Predictions and Picks Against the Spread

John Morgan

After a lethargic and underwhelming performance against the Buffalo Bills, the New England Patriots look to get back on track at Cleveland on Sunday. In case you have just awoken from a coma, Tom Brady will be starting his first game of the season after Roger Goodell’s Article 46 triumph. Vegas expects the Patriots to win this game with ease, listing the Pats as a rare double-digit road favorite.

Unfortunately most out of town Patriot fans will have to head to their favorite local tavern to see this game, unless they forked over an ungodly sum of money for the Sunday Ticket. Outside of Ohio and New England the Pats-Browns game will only be broadcast in Buffalo, Reno, St. Louis – and for some odd reason, Utah.

Primary network distribution will be for the Jets at Steelers on CBS early, Bengals at Cowboys on CBS late, and Falcons at Broncos on Fox late. Giants at Green Bay is the Sunday night game, and Tampa Bay at Carolina wraps up Week Five on Monday. Jacksonville, Kansas City, New Orleans and Seattle are off with a bye this week.

On the bright side Pats fans will not be subjected to listening to Ian Eagle and Dan Fouts this weekend. Greg Gumbel will announce the play-by-play from Cleveland, with Trent Green fulfilling the analyst commentary.

Go Falcons

Ravens can burn.

After the 48 yard catch and run on the first Falcons drive, the Pats are now the only team in the NFL to not allow a passing play of 40+ yards so far this season.

Posting is hard. The "not" is important!

Just need Dak to throw an INT today & Brady's 162 passes without an INT record will still stand. Wentz threw his 1st today.

Too bad the Colts barely managed a win against crappy Chicago and Hoyer. But maybe that helps Pagano keep his job lol.

Love seeing NYJ and Miami lose... 1-4 each! I think Gase is safe this season but how long until Bowles gets canned?

Hoping Rex gets beat by LA. I think it actually will happen.

Oh and of course, GO ATLANTA!

 

[VectorPrime]

Come on Falcons

 

[thecore762]

Let's go Falcons!

They are already up 7-0 ATM!

 

[luuked]

Curious if Lynch will settle in throughout the game because so far he is pretty inaccurate and rushes a lot of things.

 

[Foxypats]

Hope Atlanta can keep it up against Denver

 

[TBR]

Paxton Lynch looks like the douchiest QB since Jay Cutler.

 

[VectorPrime]

Falcons driving again...

 

[Foxypats]

wow Coleman running right at the denver D

 

[BobDigital]

Falcons needs 3 here anyway.

 

[JMC00]

Just need Dak to throw an INT today & Brady's 162 passes without an INT record will still stand. Wentz threw his 1st today.

Watching nfln this morning apparently according to them 131 is the record for a qb starting their career. Idiots. He has the rookie record not the record.

 

[BobDigital]

Going backwards here is horrible.

 

[Foxypats]

Denver calls for a flag and they get it !!!!

 

[Froob]

Gimme a ****ing break. Why is Denver the only team allowed to do that?
