Got a game back this week with a solid 2-1 showing; the stalled late drive in the Atlanta-New York game cost me the backdoor cover, but the New England and Tampa Bay plays were easy winners for sure. I may have gotten a little greedy trying to get all three games I dropped the previous week back; I liked the situational aspect of the loser, but Matty Ice once again was less-than-stellar on the road.
There were some really interesting games from a fan perspective this weekend-- the Bucs and Saints was certianly a thriller, and I always love those crazy comebacks (though I'm not sure if that's more props to Cleveland or a Herm-esque "c'mon man" to the Titans D). The Monday night game was competitive for a goodly portion, and watching Russell Wilson turn busted plays into big plays was cool to behold.
The oft-maligned NFC had a good showing in Week 5, with the Giants, Cowboys, and Eagles getting wins and the Redskins looking not-terrible against the defending champs. The Cowboys look pretty solid, but everyone seems to be waiting with bated breath for the usual swoon-- this weekend against Seattle seems a likely place for them to fold, but if history serves a lesson, they could win this one outright and then drop three-of-four moving ahead.
The other team that I'm waiting to start a skid is the San Diego Chargers. To date, they've looked pretty decent, with a huge signature win against Seattle. Usually given to slow starts, the Bolts seem to have it together. But I'm not on the San Diego bandwagon yet-- I usually like them as late season dogs, but I just don't trust them to cover reliably as favorites. The shutout win over the Jets probably has more to do with the Jets being god awful. How much longer is Rex Ryan employed? This season is all but done for them, sitting at 1-4.
NFL 2014 Week 4: 2-1
