Pretzel’s Picks Week 5

Minnesota Vikings by 10.5 at the St. Louis Rams

10.5?  That’s it?  Has anyone won by less than that this year over the Rams???  Vikings win by at least 2 touchdowns and a huge day for Adrian Peterson.

Buffalo Bills by 6 at home over the Cleveland Browns

Well last week we learned a few things about these teams.  Cleveland lost a tough divisional game in overtime against the somewhat surprising Cincinnati Bengals and showed that they can still play as long as receivers can hold on to the ball.  Buffalo also played a divisional game and got destroyed by the (at the time) 0-3 Dolphins and showed that they still have trouble rising to any occasion.  I think both teams will continue on their current path and Cleveland wins this one.

Seattle Seahawks by 1 at home over the Jacksonville Jaguars

Seattle has lost 3 in a row.  Jaguars have won 2 straight.  MJD and Jacksonville offence will come up big in this one stretching their streak to 3.

Indianapolis Colts by 4 at the Tennessee Titans

So far this season Indianapolis has looked unstoppable.  This week is no different.  Divisional matchups usually come down to the wire so this game should be hard fought but the Colts still takes it by 10.

Eliminator

For my eliminator pick I am taking the Dallas Cowboys over the Kansas City Chiefs.  You want to use Dallas in the first half of the season before the really start to fall apart and this game looks like a good one for them.
