Maxx's Week 5 NFL Plays

[Maxx_Power]

Gonna be out of town this weekend so gotta post the picks now.

All plays at -110 to win 1 unit unless otherwise stated.

CIN @ BAL -8.5
Still not sold on the Bengals. Going with a mad BAL looking to take care of business at home against a division rival.

CLE +6 @ BUF
Is there really any difference between these teams? Looking for CLE to mix it up a little bit more offensively now that they don't feel like they have to waste throws on Braylon Edwards. I don't usually play totals, but this game has the feeling of something like 9-6.

DAL @ KC +7.5
Of the really putrid teams, for some reason KC feels like the one that's capable of hanging in games... I may be wrong, but if they can generate any offense against a mediocre at best DAL defense, they can keep this within a TD.

ATL @ SF -2.5 (-115)
I know ATL had a bye week last week, but SF can top that... they played a game and still had a bye week by facing the Rams. Only concerning thing here is the QB matchup... but you could say that just about every week with SF. I think they out physical ATL in what could be a grinder.

HOU +5.5 @ ARZ
I don't think anyone knows what to expect from either team. But HOU is built similar to the Colts on defense in that they can pressure the QB but you can run through them. ARZ is not built to take advantage of that so I'll take the points.

NE -3 (-120) @ DEN
My take on Orton has always been that he's a great QB to have when you're facing the Jamarcus Russels and Brady Quinns of the world. But when the other team has elite talent on the offensive side... it's asking a lot of Orton to keep pace with those teams. That pretty much sums up why I like the Pats.

On the same side of several of your plays, like your reasoning

Also great name btw, hopefully it is the Simpsons' reference I am thinking of.

A couple tough losses yesterday with HOU and NE... getting one of those would've made the day seem much better. Tonight is a tough one to figure. Does Sanchez bounce back? Will Rex Ryan eat Henne alive? I think the Jets defensive advantage is neutralized by the style MIA will play. I'll take the points:

NYJ @ MIA +3
