Flea Flicker Week 5 Predictions

The first quarter of the 2019 NFL Season is in the books. Here's a stab at this week's game.

Byes: Detroit Lions, Miami Dolphins

Minnesota Vikings @ New York Giants
Pick: Vikings
It'll be so refreshing to see the Vikings play some football. With the ridiculous media coverage of the past week and the fan reaction to that coverage it feels like it's been about a month since the Vikings played some football. After last week's performance they have to get a win in New Jersey.

Arizona Cardinals @ Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Bengals
Simply going with the home team in this game.

Buffalo Bills @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Bills
The Bills are feisty. The Titans are wildly inconsistent.

Chicago Bears @ Oakland Raiders
Pick: Raiders
Just a hunch.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints
Pick: Saints
After wins over the Seahawks and Cowboys the Saints can't lose to the Buccaneers at home.

New York Jets @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Eagles
This one doesn't take much thought.

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Ravens
For a while this was the best rivalry in the game. Nearly all of the players that made it great are gone.

New England Patriots @ Washington Redskins
Pick: Patriots
This one takes less thought than the Jets-Eagles game.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Carolina Panthers
Pick: Panthers
Both teams are gaining traction with backup quarterbacks.

Atlanta Falcons @ Houston Texans
Pick: Texans
A Falcons team that looks talented on paper is fading fast.

Denver Broncos @ Los Angeles Chargers
Pick: Chargers
The Broncos have been competitive in each of their four losses. They are still losses. It feels like the Chargers just have to get out of their own way.

Green Bay Packers @ Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Cowboys
Packers suck.

Indianapolis Colts @ Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Chiefs
The Lions made the Chiefs look vulnerable. I don't think that will happen at home.

Cleveland Browns @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: Browns
49ers fans come back to earth.
