NFL Picks: Week 5
No team in the NFL has had a bye week since this season began until now. This week, six teams are going to have byes thus we are going to see only 12 games on Sunday and one game on Monday Night.
At this point in the season, after 4 games, only two teams have a perfect record of 4 wins; interestingly enough these two teams happen to be in the same division! They are the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions. If you had suggested 3 or 4 seasons ago that the Lions will be 4-0 at this point in time or that the Colts and Vikings will be 0-4, many people would have laughed you to scorn. But it is what it is, isn’t it? Let us see if this week knocks Packers or Lions off their winning streak.
Also, it is amazing to note that a whopping eleven teams are just one loss shy of a perfect win record (i.e 3-1)! On the other hand, only 7 teams are one win away from a perfect loss record (i.e 1-3). It would appear that this is quite a competitive season at this point. Let us wait till the middle of the season to see how things stack up.

I am tempted to reject your picks seeing as one had ample time since Friday to upload his or her picks. Once 1pm on Sunday arrives, every other pick becomes invalid. At any rate, let’s go with your picks, coming as they did, well into the 2nd quarter for at least the first 8 games. I am still not convinced that you’d pull off a perfect record 🙂
Btw, congratulations–your post above was the 500th comment on this blog. Hoping for another 500 comments before this time next year!
Happy Sunday!
