NFL Week 5: Banged Up Steelers Look to Hold off Jags


Washington at Philadelphia
Another top notch NFC East showdown. The Eagles could be without Brian Westbrook again, but the Skins are already without DE Jason Taylor and CB Shawn Springs. Look for McNabb to find DeSean Jackson and Reggie Brown a ton in this game. The Eagles are the pick.

Tennessee at Baltimore
The Ravens have proven they are the real deal, but now they must face the 4-0 Kerry Collins' lead Titans. We will find out which team is more of a contender in this game. I love this Ravens' D, so Baltimore is the pick.

Pittsburgh at Jacksonville
The Steelers are really banged up and only have one healthy RB. Jacksonville has struggled so far this season, but I think this is their chance to get on track in the spotlight of Sunday night. MJD and Fred Taylor is still one of the best RB tandems in the NFL, I'm going with the Jags.

Here are the rest of this week's picks:
NY Giants defeat Seattle
San Diego defe! ats Miami
Carolina defeats Kansas City
Indianapolis defeats Houston
Chicago defeats Detroit
Green Bay defeats Atlanta
Denver defeats Tampa Bay
Dallas defeats Cincinnati
Buffalo defeats Arizona
New England defeats San Francisco
Minnesota defeats New Orleans
