Week 5 of the NFL comes with a variety of top-notch teams that are 5-0,
and several notable players are on the hot seat once again, in addition to that –
several QB’s are seeking greener pastures. It has been a power packed start to the 2013
NFL season. This 2013 season has been filled with drama, misery, and speculations. Several star veteran players are on the verge of breaking a few cherished NFL records that have stood the test of time.
Two teams fighting to stay above 500. Fantasy Leagues have
the Browns as favorites due to the Bills QB situation.
The Packers are well rested coming off of a bye-week. This
matchup is going to be a rough and tough game, as well as it will be a test of
will for the Packers going against a shut down Lions defense. Aaron Rodgers
needs to play a picture perfect game. Matthew Stafford will have to deal with a
Packers defense that is mad and disgusted on how they let two games be decided
by close scores.
The problems of the Giants offensive and defensive troubles
rear their ugly head, and it will not get any better for the defending Super
Bowl Champs in this week 5 matchup. Eli Manning has gotten off to a slow in
each of his 4 games. The Eagles 111 yards allowed are the most in the NFL. This
is a must win game for the Eagles, and a victory would help them share the
division – especially if Dallas
falls to the Broncos.
There are no apparent weaknesses on offense or defense that neither
team can expose to gain a win in this week 5 ferocious matchup. Alex Smith is
quietly putting up a Pro Bowl season, and his leadership can be felt on the
field - which translates to a perfect season thus far.
The Saints with Drew Brees at the helm are playing lights
out football once again, and their 2013 4-0 start is no fluke. There is only
one other NFL teams that previous 0-4 start of the season gone on to play in
the playoffs. The Bears last week beat down loss to the Detroit Lions - made
devout critics of Jay Cutler question his skill to win big games.
The Super Bowl champs are struggling both on offense and
defense, and it has become quite evident that the retirement of Ray Lewis and the
Ed Reed trade has made a negative impact in the win category. The Miami O and
their D will help them keep on top of the AFC East division.
Two teams that are literally fighting for respect in the
NFL, but the struggles remain the same dismal at best. It has been a most disappointing
start of the season for the St. Louis Rams, and their fantasy stock is no
longer valid at this point in time.
The Patriots may have lost big Vince Wolford to a foot
injury, but Tom Brady and his wide receiver young corp. are coming into their
own. The Patriots defense is improving within each and every game they play, in
addition to this means nothing but big trouble for the Bengals QB.
Russell Wilson faces a Indy defense that game day mission is
pass rush all day. Andrew Luck has similar QB skills like Russell Wilson, and
he will need all of his sophomore skills to pull off a victory against a stingy
Seattle D.
The Panthers are coming off a much needed rest from the
bye-week, and Cam Newton will have the edge in a game the Panthers need en
route to get back at 500.
Too much drama in close games has kept the Cowboys at a
stale 500 in the NFC East division. The Broncos are slowly but surely becoming
the next greatest show on turf. Peyton Manning’s field generalship will be too
much for the Dallas D to handle.
The 49ers overcame a disappointing loss in week 2 and 3, but
would later overcome those key losses by going on to beat down the St. Louis
Rams in week 4. Colin Kaepernick is taking his lumps along the way, and fantasy
players will keep him a favorite in this week 5 matchup.
The woeful raiders D will give Phillip Rivers the
opportunity to have a pass happy air attack – despite throwing 2 costly interceptions.
The Jets D will rise to the occasion and keep the game very
close, but Gino Smith 2 rookie interceptions will be in favor of an Atlanta
Falcons much needed win. Fantasy players put down Gino Smith this week and rise
up Matt Ryan on their 3rd tier level.
A magnificent game for Tony Romo through 3 quarters turned into an early Halloween nightmare - as the Dallas QB threw a costly interception in the 4th quarter. The talk of the town in Dallas will continue about Tony Romo's very bad 4th quarter judgment on losing big games. With one minute and 49 seconds left in the game, and no time outs gave Peyton Manning the opportunity to run down the clock, and with 2 seconds remaining, Matt Prater kicked a game winning field goal. It was a painful loss for the Dallas Cowboys, and the 51 - 48 loss to the Broncos is a game that Tony Romo would rather not remember.
