Week 5 AFCN Predictions

I say...

Seahawks over Steelers 23-20. Injury bug biting Pittsburgh, Seattle gets rare W in the 'burgh.

49ers over Ravens 17-16. Drinks are on Trent Dilfer after the game. Ravens' collapse continues apace.

Browns over Patriots 41-38. Cleveland shocks the world.

Bengals over Bye 70-63. D can't even stop the bye week but the offense shows up, thankfully.

Possibly if they watched the Arizona game film closely. Cards head coach/former Steeler coach Ken Whisenhunt exposed the Pittsburgs offense for what it is. Weak at QB.

49ers over Ravens 17-16. Drinks are on Trent Dilfer after the game. Ravens' collapse continues apace.

If this game was in Baltimore, I'd feel different, but it's not. Home field advantage gives the 'Niners the edge.

Browns over Patriots 41-38. Cleveland shocks the world.

You're on your own here Hoosier. No way. No chance.

Bengals over Bye 70-63. D can't even stop the bye week but the offense shows up, thankfully.

I see your humor is intact. :sure:

I like the Hawks over Pitt for a couple reasons. One, the Steelers haven't shown they can beat anything but bottom-tier teams year, and two, they're hurt. Ward has been out with a sprained knee and may not be back. Polamalu tore some rib cartilage in AZ and may not play, or be limited. No. 3 corner McFadden is already out and NT Casey Hampton is nursing a hammy pull. Oh, and Big Jen got his foot stepped on last week, so the ready-made injury excuse for him is there. Seattle is going to need to be on top of its game, but they can win.

As for the Brown over the Pats, hey, NE isn't going 16-0. Someone will beat them, and why not Cleveburg? Cleveland actually reminds me a lot of the 2003 Bengals: not ready for prime time yet, but they can get hot in any given game, and if they do, look out.

Steelers show the Hawks they are for real with several starters out. Ben plays superlative football and is becoming a great QB. The 'Cards had 2 coaches that BUILT the Steelers' team. The Steelers are better than the 'Cards and if they played them a 2nd time the coaching advantages would be negated. Ben escaped sacks many times and converted SEVERAL 3rd downs. The Steelers are the best team in this division hands down.
