It's kind of weird. Tipping comps are a part of Australian football culture here. Everyone's in one amongst friends or at work or something. But I never got into them, ever. Yet, I'm enjoying participating in this, and can't wait to make my selections.

Minnesota at Green Bay
Chicago at Carolina
Houston at Dallas
Buffalo at Detroit
Baltimore at Indianapolis
Pittsburgh at Jacksonville
Tampa Bay at New Orleans
Atlanta at NY Giants
St. Louis at Philadelphia

KC was an inspired choice last week. Even if I do say so myself. Let's go with them again!

Watching the Monday night debacle for the Pat's I thought to myself "They tackle worse than White House security".

Week 5 Schedule

Thu, 10/2
Minnesota at Green Bay - One word: Aaron Rodgers. Fastest QB to 25000 career passing yards. GREEN BAY

Sun, 10/5
Chicago at Carolina - Ouch. Don't like how either team played last week. But I figure Jay Cutler won't give away this game. CHICAGO
Houston at Dallas - It pains me to say this, but the 'boys are looking good. Taking offensive linemen in the 1st Round of the NFL draft for the past three years is starting to pay off. DALLAS
Buffalo at Detroit - Unbelievable! The Bills still have a chance to win the AFC East. One more roll of the dice....BUFFALO
Baltimore at Indianapolis - Wow. The Ravens look great WITHOUT Ray Rice. Close game, but I'll give the Colts the benefit of "home cooking" INDIANAPOLIS
Pittsburgh at Jacksonville - I can't figure the Steelers looking THAT BAD two weeks in a row. PITTSBURGH
Tampa Bay at New Orleans - One month in and it's Do or Die time. I don't think anyone had the Saints picked to be in such a hole starting out. NEW ORLEANS
Atlanta at NY Giants - Beginning of the season I thought the Falcons were on a mission of redemption. Duhuhh, wrong again. NEW YORK
St. Louis at Philadelphia - Should have guessed that after three straight games coming back from 10+ deficits, the Eagles would run out of luck. Key here is their patchwork O-line isn't opening holes for LeSean McCoy - but will leave plenty of holes for the blitz happy Rams to ruin Nick Foles' day - ST. LOUIS
Cleveland at Tennessee - The Browns are 1-2 after playing three tough opponents, to whom they lost by a combined 5 points. The Titans are coming off two blow out losses. I can't believe I'm saying this, but.....CLEVELAND
Arizona at Denver - Are the Broncos the only team we can count on week-to-week??? DENVER
NY Jets at San Diego - Haaahaaaahaaaaa! Enough already! SAN DIEGO
Kansas City at San Francisco - Was that REALLY the Chiefs Monday night? Away game and the short week spell let down for KC..... - SAN FRANCISCO
Cincinnati at New England - Was that REALLY the Patriots Monday night? Here's the issue: 2-2, with wins over the Vikings and the lowly Raiders, losses to the Dolphins and the disaster in K.C. Short week, not enough time to float the boat. CINCINNATI

Mon, 10/6
Seattle at Washington - Geez, two lousy games in a row. "The Blacklist" has nothing to fear from MNF. SEATTLE 38 Washington 14 = 52 Total Points

Hey tygrkhat, looking at the Week 4 standings, you have me at 35 Wins and 36 Losses - which doesn't add up to 61 games. I think the mistake is 10 extra Losses?
