Last week, I was 2-1 in my predictions for Week Four with the AFC South. We now head into Week Five with many surprises and other stuff. I will preview five games from this week with analysis on it and will show the rest of my picks for Week Five.

The Titans are still winless and have lost more games already than last year after being the best team in the NFL. Can they win their first game against the Colts on Sunday Night?

Find out in the picks for this week!

Let’s begin!

Texans Over Cardinals

I know it does look like a bit of a surprise but the Texans are good this season. The Cardinals have been struggling so far and haven’t been able to find success with their Kurt Warner-Larry Fitzgerald tandem from last season.

Let’s hope the Cards can improve, but for this game, I really don’t see that happening. Expect some good plays from Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson.

I think Steve Slaton might be seeing a good game against the Cardinals weak defense.

Colts Over Titans

The Colts are a new team, and hell, so are the Titans. One team is awesome, one other just sucks.

The Titans are at 0-4 and have lost to all their division rivals, and I think the Colts will be the next team.

Sorry Jeff Fisher, but I don’t think your Titans will be seeing a win this week. Sunday Night Football, Peyton Manning looks to shine.

Jaguars Over Seahawks

JACKSONVILLE, FL - OCTOBER 04:  David Garrard #9 of the Jacksonville Jaguars attempts a pass during the game against the Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on October 4, 2009 in Jacksonville, Florida. Many players and officials in the NFL

The Seahawks struggled last week against the Colts, 34-17. With Matt Hasselbeck expected to play this week, it really won’t make that big of a difference. Expect another big game from David Garrard from last week.
