The Secret Service will not let just anyone read these Week 5 NFL Picks. Well, maybe you over there wearing purple, holding a knife. Can we call you Ray?<\/p>\n

We totally believe when you say that there are some things<\/a> you can cover up, and some that you can’t, and that you like to cut vegetables with that big knife while rooting for the Baltimore Ravens. Sure, go on in. These Week 5 NFL picks have been expecting you for years.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But the guy wearing red, white and blue, the New England Patriots fan? Nope, you’re not getting in to read these picks. We saw that game on Monday night and we’d be surprised if you’re not completely terrorized and desperate. Obviously we don’t let Patriots fans in here. If you root for Tom Brady, we don’t trust that you’re going to like these Week 5 NFL Picks. You are on the No Read List.<\/a><\/p>\n

We see an old guy with the face that is sort of silver and blue. Now, he is running with old-guy drunken style frantically across the lawn read these Week 5 NFL Picks. Hi Jerry Jones. Yes, this week you can read these Week 5 NFL Picks.<\/p>\n

The Secret Service protects these Week 5 NFL picks. Don’t worry. If we were worried, would we be drinking tequila with strippers right now? So geez, chill out. It’s easy to do what we do, that’s why we do it this way.<\/p>\n

Take that Raider fan over over there. The Secret Service means it. Someone take that silver-and-black clad guy away because he is already sure that these Week 5 NFL Picks will predict that the Raiders lose to the bye.<\/p>\n

The Secret Service protects Week 5 NFL Picks, which wear the orange and brown of the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n

And that’s why the Secret Service is sure that Week 5 NFL Picks can defend themselves. These Week 5 NFL Picks are resilient enough to get through anything. Sadly, even modern America, Week 5 NFL Picks get attacked a lot because of the colors. Yes, the Secret Service recognizes prejudice based on colors \u2013 especially in this climate.<\/p>\n

But no worries. Really. If we were worried, would we be drinking tequila with strippers right now? So geez, chill out. Did we say that already? Sorry. There’s something else important we needed to tell you, but we can’t remember. Oh well.<\/p>\n

No matter how many people we let climb the fence and run over to read these picks, we’re not worried because the boss always reminds us: These are not a red Week 5 NFL Picks. These are not a blue Week 5 NFL Picks. These are brown and orange Week 5 NFL Picks.<\/p>\n

We tell the boss to trust us about whatzgonnahappen. <\/p>\n

VIKINGS AT PACKERS \u2013<\/strong> If Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t break in half or learn parenting lessons form Adrian Peterson, he’s probably going to pretty good in the future. Aaron Rodgers is back to living in the present. Packers, 37, Vikings 20<\/p>\n

BROWNS AT TITANS \u2013<\/strong> With a real quarterback, a soft schedule for a few weeks, and then Josh Gordon returning, the Super Bowl season gets in swing for the Browns. Even the defense shows up. Browns 36, Titans 17<\/p>\n

BEARS AT PANTHERS \u2013<\/strong> Jay Cutler has more weapons than Cam Newton. But it’s October, nearing Halloween, and this game features two ghost defenses. And Superman. Panthers 31, Bears 30<\/p>\n

TEXANS AT COWBOYS \u2013<\/strong> If JJ Watt could play quarterback. Meanwhile, with Tony Romo playing great and the best run game in the NFL, Jerry Jones quit blaming himself for drafting a guard instead of Johnny Manziel.\u00a0 The winning will go on for a while. Cowboys 27, Texans 21<\/p>\n

BILLS AT LIONS \u2013 <\/strong>The Kyle Orton story, by Disney, might work because of Sammy Watkins. Orton at his best was well above average, for stretches. I’m not\u00a0 big fan of hokey Disney movies, or the Bills going forward. Lions 41, Bills 20<\/p>\n

RAVENS AT COLTS \u2013<\/strong> The Ravens, and especially Joe Flacco look really good right now. Andrew Luck may be the best in the NFL soon, but he’s not the best in this game. Ravens 34, Colts 28<\/p>\n

STEELERS AT JAGUARS \u2013<\/strong> It would be cool if there were one of those body switch movies where Ben Roethlisberger and Blake Bortles switch places. Steelers 34, Jaguars 24<\/p>\n

BUCCANEERS AT SAINTS \u2013<\/strong> Drew Brees tells himself, for confidence, \u201cI am better than Tom Brady.\u201d Mike Glennon is better than anyone but he and I think he is. Buccaneers\u00a0 30, Saints 24<\/p>\n

FALCONS AT GIANTS \u2013<\/strong> I trust each of these teams as much as I trust Roger Goodell, which is lest than I trust thinking this… Giants 20, Falcons 24<\/p>\n

RAMS AT EAGLES \u2013<\/strong> Austin Davis is the new out-of-where Kurt Warner type of story, and the best quarterback in this game. The Rams defense wakes up and harasses Nick Foles in an upset special. Rams 23, Eagles 20<\/p>\n

CARDINALS AT BRONCOS \u2013<\/strong> Peyton Manning drives a Buick, the same as your grandparents. The Cardinals yell the names \u201cTom Brady, and \u201cDrew Brees\u201d at him, and ask, \u201cWhen’s your birthday?\u201d He he looks like he wants to run away to Omaha. Cardinals 28, Broncos 20<\/p>\n

JETS AT CHARGERS \u2013<\/strong> Philip Rivers is the Bernie Kosar of his generation \u2013 the great quarterback that no one except his hometown fans talk about. He even throws like Kosar. Meanwhile, the Jets don’t have Broadway Joe, but the Geno Show is a hit comedy. Chargers 40, Jets 20<\/p>\n

CHIEFS AT 49ers \u2013<\/strong> Alex Smith is better than Colin Kaepernick right now, and maybe he always was. Chiefs 20, 49ers 14<\/p>\n

BENGALS AT PATRIOTS \u2013<\/strong> When Bill Belichick was the coach of the Cleveland Browns, he cut local hero and formerly great quarterback, Bernie Kosar, in mid-season. Belichick, with as much soul and empathy for fans as his boss, Art Modell, said Kosar had \u201cdiminishing skills.\u201d The point of this history lesson is that Tom Brady has diminishing skills. Bengals 35, Patriots 17<\/p>\n

SEAHAWKS AT REDSKINS \u2013<\/strong> When the Seahawks travel away from Seattle, they can be beaten. Ha, not by the Redskins. Seahawks 28, Redskins 20<\/p>\n

BYE AT DOLPHINS \u2013<\/strong> Joe Philbin won’t commit, right now, to bacon and eggs. The waitress is waiting.<\/p>\n

BYE AT RAIDERS \u2013<\/strong> Bye 100, Raiders 0<\/p>\n
