Okay, why do you have the Jaguars scoring 38 points? I watch them and have a lot of hope for Bortles, but I just can't see us scoring 38 points right now.

Thanks, I meant for it to be other way around.

Not bad last week, but here we go for week 5

MIN 17 @ GB 27...Teddy's ankle slows him down, that DEF gave 28 to ATL @ home, 27 is about right
CHI 20 @ CAR 24...After getting trounced the last 2 weeks, CAR makes a stand this week
CLE 17 @ TN 20...Browns are the better team, but TN won't turn it over as much
STL 17 @ PHI 31...Rams DEF front is solid, surprising they're giving up as much on the ground
ATL 21 @ NYG 24...I can see ATL scoring more than 24, but OL issues say they won't
TB 17 @ NO 27...Bucs never quit last week and were rewarded, Saints don't let them hang around
HOU 20 @ DAL 27...Texans not as good as the record, relatively weak schedule so far
BUF 20 @ DET 27...Bills changing QBs @ 2-2...really? Orton gets hit a lot
BAL 24 @ IND 31...Colts make someone else other than Steve Smith beat them
PIT 27 @ JAX 14...Steelers finish the drill this week
ARI 17 @ DEN 24...Zona DEF is for real, but don't see Stanton or Palmer doing it in DEN
KC 17 @ SF 24...Road game after a MNF game is tough
NYJ 14 @ SD 27...Been sleeping on the Chargers, they're better than I thought on both sides of ball
CIN 24 @ NE 26...Bengals have more talent, but beware the team blown out the previous week
SEA 24 @ WAS 21...Hawks need to get pressure in this one...Cousins has something to prove


Home teams rule this week, but wouldn't be shocked if CIN wins.

What's up Bunk...well you didn't go totally off the grid.

If Jax pulls that off to be honest I would be surprised but not shocked...Steelers typically respond well after a bad loss.

ATL...if the patchwork OL holds up, I can see ATL winning that game, but I have a feeling Manning will have time to throw...they (DEF) are taking some serious heat down here in the media so maybe they figure something out.

BAL...Didn't expect that much OFC w/o Pitta, but that wouldn't surprise me...gotta get Luck on the ground though.

CLE...I think I'll regret picking TN, but I don't expect 3 turnovers at home and that DEF is terrible.

 

[Bunkamania]

I had Zona and NE winning too. Had to reel myself in a bit.

lol

Neither are big stretches, well maybe Zona...I am a believer now, but Palmer has never played well out there, and imo Stanton will have a tough time winning in DEN too...I did pick NE...this about as big a statement regular season game BB has faced in a long time.

Or you could be laughing at us. This season, teams are under/over performing a lot.
