Lucky
is still reeling from all the upsets of
last week. Hopefully things return to normal
this week and Lester is spot on with the
winners once again so he can keep the name;
Lucky! Just kidding, Lester is always lucky,
just not always right. Now if I could only
get a little coffee with all this humble
pie! Click
here if you want to read my review of
how the previous week played out against
my picks and my power ratings for the first
quarter.
Super
Picks
Cardinals
(+1)
@ Niners - Cardinals get a point, so that's
cool. Both teams are bad but the Cardinals
have Dennis Green, and the 49'ers Have Dennis
Erikson. Emmit Smith has been having a kick
ass year and it's about time to once again
appreciate Mr. Smith.
Game Date: 10/10/04 16:15 ET
Bills
@ Jets (-6.5) - Drew Bledsoe has
been dreadful and don't expect that to change
against the talented Jets team. Jets Quarterback
Pennington will not turn the ball over and
less than seven points is a bargain in this
one.
Game Date: 10/10/04 16:05 ET
Jaguars (-2.5) @ San Diego - Okay,
okay, so the Chargers have overachieved
and the Jaguars have barely won three games
and just lost one. Only 2.5 to the Chargers…Jump
on this free boat! The Jags shut down the
stud running back in San Diego and then
what, Drew Brees beats them??? As Barb would
say…"Yeah Right!" Game
Date: 10/10/04 16:05 ET
Ravens (-1) @ Redskins - The Ravens
defense was humiliated last week at Kansas
City. Ray Lewis is pissed and Clinton Portis
has been fumbling. This is a lethal combination
for the Redskins. Redskins are struggling
to pick up Coach Gibbs schemes and the Ravens
defense pounces without any hesitation.
Game Date: 10/10/04 20:30 ET
Lucky
Lester's Picks For Week Five
Dolphins
@ Patriots (-13) -Thirteen is a huge
number but I have to take the Patriots here.
The Dolphins hope to keep it close with
their defense but the Patriots ability to
pass and run will prove it decisive. Dolphins
are disorganized and their moral is low
on offense no matter who is quarterbacking
their team.
Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Browns
@ Steelers (-6) - Okay, I know the
Steelers need to win by more than six but
they are better than the Browns. Rookie
quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been
exceptional and Deuce Staley has restored
the fear factor in their running game. Browns
running back Lee Suggs could have success
against the Steeler defense. The Browns
defense has been decimated by injuries and
will be unable to slow the Steeler attack.
Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Raiders
@ Colts (-9) - After a last minute
win last week against Jacksonville with
help from a questionable call, the Colts
will be out to prove that they are one of
the dominate teams in this league. Marvin
Harrison is overdue for a monster game.
Raiders have injury concerns on offense
(QB, RB) and showed little last week.
Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Lions
(+7) @ Falcons - The Falcons are not
good enough yet to get seven points over
a exciting, young Lions squad. The Lions
showed earlier this year in Chicago that
they are finally able to win on the road.
The Falcons are inconsistent throwing the
ball so maybe unable to take advantage of
Detroit's sub par pass defense. Game
Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Bucks @ Saints (-3) - Both of these
teams have been especially disappointing
this year. The Saints QB Aaron Brooks usually
steps up against good defenses. Look for
the Saints to rebound at home saving their
season and pushing the Buccaneers to 0-5.
Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Giants (+3) @ Cowboys - Kurt Warner
and Tiki Barber, two notorious turnover
artists, have only turned the ball over
twice between them this year. The Cowboys
are really hurting at right cornerback and
the Giants have enough good receivers to
exploit that. Look for Michael Strahan to
blow by Cowboy Right Tackle Torrin Tucker
and lay some big hits on Testaverde. Game
Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Vikings (-4) @ Texans - The Texans
have won two in a row and could hang with
the Vikings for a while, but the Vikings
superior firepower will prove too much in
the end. Take the Vikings only giving four
in this one. It sucks but oh well!
Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Panthers (+5.5) @ Broncos - So the
whole "Quentin Griffin is a stud"
thing is over and done with and Jake Plimmer
isn't anything big to get excited about
so why do the Broncos give almost six points?
Oh that's right, the Odds Makers are Crazy!
Panthers expect to get Steven Davis back
this week and will ride him to victory.
Game Date: 10/10/04 16:15 ET
Rams
@ Seahawks (-7) - Seahawks are finally
balanced as their much maligned defense
is playing even better than their vaunted
offense. The suddenly old Rams just can't
hang with the speedy, young Seahawks, especially
in Seattle. Expect Seattle running back
Shaun Alexander running behind Seattle's
elite offensive line to dominate the undersize
Rams defenders. Game Date: 10/10/04 16:15
ET
Titans
@ Packers (-3) - This match up on
Monday night features two teams that are
a very disappointing 1-3. This is a must
win situation for both teams to stay competitive
for the playoffs. It turns out that injured
Brett Favre is healthier than injured Packer
Quarterback, Steve McNair. The Packers will
not lose three in a row at Lambeau Field.
Take the Packers giving only 3. Game
