NFL Picks Week 5: Seattle Seahawks and 3 Teams That Will Shock Favorites

Kyle VassaloOct 6, 2011

Last week, we saw the 49ers walk into Philadelphia nine-point underdogs and walk away with a "W" after an incredible comeback victory. The Bengals even managed to deal the red-hot Bills a loss.

Week 5 will feature even more upsets. Here are three teams who will shock favorites this week.

The Seahawks aren't playing in the comfort of Qwest Field, but after their narrow loss to the Falcons, it's clear Seattle is on the brink of putting together a monster upset. The Giants squeaked to a victory against the Cardinals last week, and the newly-found confidence in Seattle will propel them to victory.

Tarvaris Jackson isn't the quarterback of the future, but he's looking like the quarterback of the present. He threw a few picks, but had an overall solid performance, throwing three touchdowns and over 300 yards.

People are jumping off the Bills' bandwagon like it's on fire. One loss against the Bengals and all of a sudden Vegas sees them as underdogs against the Eagles. The Eagles are falling apart. Their collapse last week against the 49ers points to just how dire their situation is.

The Bills have shortcomings on defense, but their offense is going to return to its unstoppable state this week. Fred Jackson is going up against a defense that allows 139.5 yards a game. The Eagles may think they've hit rock bottom, but things are going to get far worse.

With Ben Roethlisberger and Rashard Mendenhall banged up and one of the worst lines in the entire league, the struggling Steelers are going to continue to do so. To make matters worse, James Harrison is out with a broken orbital bone. 

The Titans are on a tear, and Chris Johnson is finally coming around. Kenny Britt being down is going to hurt the offense, but with the Steelers letting up 119.5 yards on the ground a game, Britt being out of action won't hold the Titans back from moving to 4-1.
