Shawn's Week 5 Picks

Arizona over St. Louis (6) - Regardless of whether it is Lienert or Warner, I don't think that St. Louis has much of a chance here.

Giants over Jets (5) - This hurts because I'm a loyal Jets fan. However, that means that I've seen them play this year and while Pennington has been a proficient passer, if the Giants defense plays half as well as they did against Philly, I expect it to be a brutal game.

Jacksonville over KC (4) - Should be a good game, but with the Jags coming off a bye week, I think that they'll take the Chiefs despite playing at Arrowhead.

New Orleans over Carolina (3) - I can't see Carr leading this team to a victory but a stronger running game could give them a shot.

Baltimore over S.F (2) - Despite being at .500, I don't think that the 49ers are that good of a team. However, I think I could say the same thing about the Ravens.

S.D. over Denver (1) - I think that Henry's status may play a role in this one, which is why I'm not ranking it too high.

Upset Special: Atlanta over Tennessee (-7.5). While I'd like to go for broke and say that Cleveland will upset the Pats, I think we all know that that is ridiculous. I'm going to go with the Falcons upsetting the Titans. Not because I think the Falcons are better than they've been playing, but because I don't have as much faith in the Titans as some.

Sorry about forgetting the upset.
