Lucky
is still reeling from all the upsets of last week. Hopefully
things return to normal this week and Lester is spot
on with the winners once again so he can keep the name;
Lucky! Just kidding, Lester is always lucky, just not
always right. Now if I could only get a little coffee
with all this humble pie! Click
here if you want to read my review of how the previous
week played out against my picks and my power ratings
for the first quarter.
Super
Picks
Cardinals
(+1)
@ Niners - Cardinals get a point, so that's cool. Both
teams are bad but the Cardinals have Dennis Green, and
the 49'ers Have Dennis Erikson. Emmit Smith has been
having a kick ass year and it's about time to once again
appreciate Mr. Smith.
Game Date: 10/10/04 16:15 ET
Bills
@ Jets (-6.5) - Drew Bledsoe has been dreadful
and don't expect that to change against the talented
Jets team. Jets Quarterback Pennington will not turn
the ball over and less than seven points is a bargain
in this one.
Game Date: 10/10/04 16:05 ET
Jaguars (-2.5) @ San Diego - Okay, okay, so the
Chargers have overachieved and the Jaguars have barely
won three games and just lost one. Only 2.5 to the Chargers…Jump
on this free boat! The Jags shut down the stud running
back in San Diego and then what, Drew Brees beats them???
As Barb would say…"Yeah Right!" Game
Date: 10/10/04 16:05 ET
Ravens (-1) @ Redskins - The Ravens defense was
humiliated last week at Kansas City. Ray Lewis is pissed
and Clinton Portis has been fumbling. This is a lethal
combination for the Redskins. Redskins are struggling
to pick up Coach Gibbs schemes and the Ravens defense
pounces without any hesitation.
Game Date: 10/10/04 20:30 ET
Lucky
Lester's Picks For Week Five
Dolphins
@ Patriots (-13) -Thirteen is a huge number but
I have to take the Patriots here. The Dolphins hope
to keep it close with their defense but the Patriots
ability to pass and run will prove it decisive. Dolphins
are disorganized and their moral is low on offense no
matter who is quarterbacking their team. Game Date:
10/10/04 13:00 ET
Browns
@ Steelers (-6) - Okay, I know the Steelers need
to win by more than six but they are better than the
Browns. Rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has been
exceptional and Deuce Staley has restored the fear factor
in their running game. Browns running back Lee Suggs
could have success against the Steeler defense. The
Browns defense has been decimated by injuries and will
be unable to slow the Steeler attack. Game Date:
10/10/04 13:00 ET
Raiders
@ Colts (-9) - After a last minute win last week
against Jacksonville with help from a questionable call,
the Colts will be out to prove that they are one of
the dominate teams in this league. Marvin Harrison is
overdue for a monster game. Raiders have injury concerns
on offense (QB, RB) and showed little last week. Game
Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Lions
(+7) @ Falcons - The Falcons are not good enough
yet to get seven points over a exciting, young Lions
squad. The Lions showed earlier this year in Chicago
that they are finally able to win on the road. The Falcons
are inconsistent throwing the ball so maybe unable to
take advantage of Detroit's sub par pass defense. Game
Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Bucks @ Saints (-3) - Both of these teams have
been especially disappointing this year. The Saints
QB Aaron Brooks usually steps up against good defenses.
Look for the Saints to rebound at home saving their
season and pushing the Buccaneers to 0-5. Game Date:
10/10/04 13:00 ET
Giants (+3) @ Cowboys - Kurt Warner and Tiki
Barber, two notorious turnover artists, have only turned
the ball over twice between them this year. The Cowboys
are really hurting at right cornerback and the Giants
have enough good receivers to exploit that. Look for
Michael Strahan to blow by Cowboy Right Tackle Torrin
Tucker and lay some big hits on Testaverde.
Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00 ET
Vikings (-4) @ Texans - The Texans have won two
in a row and could hang with the Vikings for a while,
but the Vikings superior firepower will prove too much
in the end. Take the Vikings only giving four in this
one. It sucks but oh well! Game Date: 10/10/04 13:00
ET
Panthers (+5.5) @ Broncos - So the whole "Quentin
Griffin is a stud" thing is over and done with
and Jake Plimmer isn't anything big to get excited about
so why do the Broncos give almost six points? Oh that's
right, the Odds Makers are Crazy! Panthers expect to
get Steven Davis back this week and will ride him to
victory. Game Date: 10/10/04 16:15 ET
Rams
@ Seahawks (-7) - Seahawks are finally balanced
as their much maligned defense is playing even better
than their vaunted offense. The suddenly old Rams just
can't hang with the speedy, young Seahawks, especially
in Seattle. Expect Seattle running back Shaun Alexander
running behind Seattle's elite offensive line to dominate
the undersize Rams defenders.
Game Date: 10/10/04 16:15 ET
Titans
@ Packers (-3) - This match up on Monday night
features two teams that are a very disappointing 1-3.
This is a must win situation for both teams to stay
competitive for the playoffs. It turns out that injured
Brett Favre is healthier than injured Packer Quarterback,
Steve McNair. The Packers will not lose three in a row
at Lambeau Field. Take the Packers giving only 3.
Game Date: 10/11/04 21:05 ET
