There's no need to fear; underdog is here!

As you can see by the play this week, the underdog has a chance to win every Sunday. There will always be a couple of weeks like this during the season. Let's look at the weekend's action!

The huge surprise of the day was Kansas City snapping their losing streak in a big way, a 33-19 win nobody expected!

In Dallas, the Cowboys struggled, as Jason Campbell showed great poise in the pocket, beating the home team 26-17. Washington continues to dominate fourth quarters by not allowing any points in the final quarter of their first four games. What a huge victory by the Redskins, as most people thought the Cowboys were the best team in the league—myself included.

Tampa Bay withstood adversity to beat Green Bay, in Tampa, 30-21. An injury to Aaron Rodgers' shoulder kept him from playing in the  final minutes  of the fourth quarter. This was a huge confidence builder for the Bucs.

Brett Favre and the Jets rolled, as Favre had the most touchdowns in his illustrious career, six. Jets 56, Arizona 35.

Carson Palmer sits as Cleveland beats the Bengals 20-12. New Orleans had no trouble at home with the 49ers, as they won 31-17. Carolina wins easily at home over Atlanta, 24-9. Jacksonville held off Houston in overtime, 30-27, and Tennessee remains undefeated,  winning at home against Minnesota, 30-17.

Buffalo finished strong, defeating the hapless Rams, 31-14, and San Diego had a nice fourth-quarter comeback to beat Oakland after being down.

My locks crashed and burned this week, as Denver and Dallas tanked. I need  Pittsburgh to pull out a victory to make it to 6-7 this week, as upsets ruled the league today. Philadelphia loses  of course.

I believe Philadelphia will play very motivated tonight, knowing Dallas lost at home today! I will update my record if I'm wrong, but I should be at 36-25 when the dust settles at the end of this weeks action. Look for Week Five picks by NFL Mikee on Tuesday on Bleacher Report. Good luck to your teams as the season progresses. Thomas Moreland  (a.k.a. NFL Mikee) Philadelphia did look motivared but still lost on Sunday night!
