MDS’s take: I hope Jacoby Brissett gets a real chance to be the man for some team some day, because he’s shown promise two years in a row when being thrown in on short notice. But the blowback from his stupid, sexist remark could provide just enough of a distraction to keep him, and the Panthers, from getting it done. Cam Newton seems to be back, and he has extra motivation to show he’s more accomplished than a quarterback who is now getting paid a lot more money than Newton. The Lions will win this one thanks to defense and special teams.įlorio’s take: Surprisingly great game pits a recently dominant team against a potentially dominant team. MDS’s take: Both of these teams are 3-1 even though Matthew Stafford and Cam Newton haven’t played particularly well. The Browns are unsuccessfully not tanking this year. The Jets are unsuccessfully tanking this year. Amazingly, they’ll be 3-2 after Sunday’s game.įlorio’s take: The Browns successfully tanked last year. The Jets are at least playing hard, defying those who thought they were tanking. I wouldn’t pick the Browns to beat anyone right now. MDS’s take: The Browns opened as favorites in this game, which shocked me. Defensive issues may not be fixed in four days, but Belichick can do enough to make it better, even in a short week.įlorio’s pick: Patriots 27, Buccaneers 23. I see a turnaround coming for New England, starting tonight.įlorio’s take: The Bucs aren’t quite ready for prime time, and they’re definitely not ready to outscore a more-determined-than-ever Tom Brady. The Bucs have been the better team so far this season, but I just can’t believe the Patriots’ defense will be as bad all year as it was in September. But, for some reason, that’s not stopping me from continuing to do it.įor all picks for Week Five, scroll on down the list of games. I need a sweep or something close to it with five disagreements last week, MDS went 4-1 and I went 1-4 and I’ve come to accept that I really suck at this. Of the 14 games to be played over the next several days, MDS and I agree on seven - and disagree on seven. It’s Week Five, but the magic number is seven.
