Week 5
Four Win Teams:
Vikings- Looked strong against divisional rival Green Bay. Play the Lambs week 5 and then have the Ravens.
Broncos- Will have to continue to play well because they have the Pats, Chargers and Ravens over the next three weeks.
Colts- Have the Titans, Lambs and 49ers over the next 3 weeks and may have a legit shot at coasting to 7-0.
Giants- Play the Raiders and get the Saints in week 6.
Saints- The Saints won with something that they aren't known for: defense. In fact, their defense outscored their offense against the Jets. They are off week 5 but have the Giants in week 6.
3-1 Teams
The Pats- showed guts and grit against the Ravens. Have the Broncos coming up.
Da Bears- Broke the Lions winning streak at one. Will have to step up their game with the Falcons and the Bengals over the next two weeks.
The Jets- The Saints blitz exposed Sanchez and he can expect to see every possible blitz package over the next few weeks. But with the Dolphins, Bills and Raiders will it really matter?
49ers- The Niners are playing better ball than they have in a very long time but they've got the Falcons, Texans and Colts over the next three weeks. We'll have a better idea how much improved that they are.
Bengals- Are a much improved team but we'll see how much after they play the Ravens, Texans and Bears over the next three weeks.
Ravens- Are looking good so far but they have the Bengals, Vikings and Broncos and all three are playing well.
The Rest
Jags- Have the Seahawks, Lambs and Titans and their fortunes are looking up.
Steelers- easily handled the Chargers and have the Lions, Stains and Vikings coming up.
Cowboys- I don't like Philips or Romo but the Cowboys benefit with a soft schedule with the Cheifs, Falcons and Seahawks coming up. This may give them a chance to put some things in order before they get to their divisional opponents.
Chargers- Play old rivals Broncos, Cheifs and Raiders over the next three weeks. They are simply too inconsistent to call. Maybe they'll go 2-1.
Texans- A surprise team flirting with respectability, expect the Texans to fall apart in October: they've got the Cards, Bengals and 49ers over the next three weeks and don't have the horses to handle handle any of them.
