NFL: Week 5 Picks

An untrained monkey could pick NFL games at a .500 clip. I need to make a move.

 

Rams +3 - I think the Rams are making the playoffs this year. I might be crazy.

 

Titans +7 - Let's see if Dallas is for real this week.

 

Falcons -3 - The Falcons are a top-7 team. The Browns are a bottom-7 team.

 

Best Bet: Texans -3 - Arian Foster should run wild.

 

Upset: Eagles +4 - Kevin Kolb, it's redemption time.

 

 

Record: 10-9-1 (Best Bet: 3-1; Upset 1-2-1)

Most Confusing - "SD Stands for San Diego" (Padres, 2010)

  Did anyone not know that?

 

Least Creative - "Take Me Out to the Ballgame (Braves, 2003)

  A five-year old could have come up with this.

 

Asking for Trouble - "Have You Seen Her" (WNBA, 2006)

  Too many punchlines to this rhetorical question.

 

Asking for Trouble (Part II) - "New Balls Please" (ATP, 2001)

 

Most Creative Ad Campaign That I Remember - "These Guys are Good" (PGA Tour)

  Simple, but very well done.
