Gotham Gridiron Week Five Picks

October 10, 2010

The return of Ben Roethlisberger will have to wait a week, as the Steelers have a bye in week five.  Although week five of the 2010 NFL season does not shape up to be the most interesting, it has its share of stories.

The Chicago Bears will be without quarterback Jay Cutler this week. Cutler was sacked nine times by the Giants in week four.

The Kansas City Chiefs must defeat the Indianapolis Colts to remain as the 2010 NFL season’s only undefeated team through five weeks.  The Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers are all seeking their first wins of the season.  The Chicago Bears will take on the Panthers; however, they will be without quarterback Jay Cutler.

The struggling Minnesota Vikings look to bounce back as they take on the New York Jets on Monday Night Football.  The Vikings recently acquired superstar wideout Randy Moss from the New England Patriots.  Moss will be expected to jump-start the passing game.

In the Gotham Gridiron Pick’ Em league, I was 11-3 in week four; the rest of the Gotham Gridiron crew had a bit of a rough week.  As of week five, I currently lead the way with a 39-23 record.  Mark Ferraro is second at 37-25, followed closely by his brother Jay at 36-26.  Then there’s Hawk Drobnis at 35-27.  Drobnis had done quite well in the first three weeks; however, a 6-8 record in week four hurt his place in the standings.
