Blogger Deathsport: Week Five Picks

Take the under and go in peace my son

Tuesday update: 6-8, not a great week for me. Weekly results here.

Blogger Deathsport rolls on, here it is week five. Our competition with Hogs Haven, Post Game Heroes and CommonPrejudice continues, picks from here frozen Wednesday night. And without further delay, your weekly picks:

Sunday
ARZ (-3.5) @ STL
Pick: Rams. I'm on the Gus bus.
Results: Rams. Losing but covering is winning when it's not your team.

BAL (-3.5) @ SF
Pick: 49ers. Something about this one.
Results: 49ers. There's a fine line between a defensive struggle and just struggling..

SD @ DEN (-1)
Pick: Broncos. Not the week Norval gets right.
Results: Chargers. I was wrong about Norval getting right.

CHI @ GB (-3)
Pick: Packers. Brian Griese is to Brett Favre as William Hung is to Wayne Newton.
Results: Bears. Two teams with no running game.

MIA @ HOU (-5)
Pick: Texans. Let Matt Schaub throw it one time. Wahoowa!
Results: Miami. Kicked in the head is an attitude and an injury.

TB @ IND (-9.5)
Pick: Buccaneers. A tough pick but I agree with Ed Werder, the Bucs are underrated.
Results: Colts. The Bucs are underunderrated.

JAX (-2) @ KC
Pick: Chiefs. A nother tough pick.
Results: Jaguars. Time to bring back Gunther Cunningham?

CLE @ NE (-16.5)
Pick: Patriots. Bill Belichick is our latter day Pete Rose, he's betting on the Pats every week so the bigger the lines the bigger the margin.
Results: Patriots. Hmm, there's a coincidence, the line is 16.5 and the Pats win by 17...

CAR @ NO (-3)
Pick: Saints. Note to Panthers: players only meetings are better saved for home games.
Results: Panthers. The ghost of Chris Weinke haunts David Carr.

NYJ @ NYG (-3.5)
Pick: Giants. But barely.
Results: Giants. Eli Manning threw 186, Plaxico Burress caught 124 of them, that's not balance.

SEA @ PIT (-6)
Pick: Seahawks. This is an nerd pick, Matt Hasselbeck is my fantasy starter and Ben Roethlisberger is my fantasy backup.
Results: Steelers. This was a whooping.

ATL @ TEN (-8)
Pick: Falcons. They now commence pulling all opponents into the muck.
Results: Falcons. Add Byron Leftwich and stir.

DET @ WAS (-3.5)
Pick: Redskins. For drama value alone.
Results: Redskins. Was that a mosquito?


Monday
DAL (-10) @ BUF
Pick: Cowboys. Ten point road favorite?
Results: Bills. Worst of all worlds, they lose but cover.


Something about the lines this week...someone could get blowed up. Results tallied Tuesday.
