Vegas Hags Pigskin Picks - Week 5

Cleveland (plus 2½) 20 at Cincinnati 17
A better game that we would have thought before the season began. Lay the points and take the Brownies.

Denver (minus 7) 27 at Seattle 17
The Seahawks are better with Dilfer at the helm (Heck, they might be better with me) but it’s not enough against the Broncos.

Baltimore (minus 1) 13 at Green Bay 17
The Pack bounces back at home.

Tampa Bay (plus 3) 20 at Tennessee 21
Can Tennessee go to 0-4? I think not. Take the points.

Pittsburgh (plus 3) 13 at Kansas City 20
Vermeil gets KC on track this week at home. Oh yeah, Kordell Stewart is horrible.

San Francisco (Even) 27 at Atlanta 20
The Falcons are done – stick a fork in them.

New Orleans (minus 5) 24 at Carolina 14
The Aints are good. Weinke’s luck has run out.

Giants (plus 10½) 17 at St. Louis 34
The Giants are good, the Rams are great. Not a good matchup for the G men.

San Diego (minus 3) 23 at New England 16
Terry Glenn and his Rosy personality return for the Pats. The Chargers get back on track. Who made their schedule, anyway?

Arizona (plus 7) 17 at Chicago 27
Da Bears look to be improving on both sides of the ball. The Cards can only get up for the Eagles.

Detroit (plus 10) 19 at Minnesota 31
Battle to stay in the NFC Central race goes to the home team.

Miami (minus 3) 24 at New York Jets 16
Even in the Meadowlands, Miami is the better team.

Oakland (plus 3½) 28 at Indianapolis 31
Can we move this game to Monday night? This will be a tough, high scoring game and I think the Colts win by a nose.

Washington (plus 3) 20 at Dallas 24
WHO CARES? These two teams wouldn’t break the college top 20.

Record:
Last week - Straight up: 9-6; against the spread: 7-8
Year to Date - Straight up: 36-22; against the spread: 27-31
