NFL Predictions Week 5: Aaron Rodgers and the 3 QBs Good for Huge Games

NFL quarterbacks have put on an aerial display of epic proportions so far this season, and expect that to continue the rest of the way. 

In Week 5, there are a handful of gun-slingers who, based on their passing prowess, wide receiving corp and matchup, are primed for some huge statistical games.

Aaron Rodgers

Best QB in football. 

Sorry, Tom Brady. 

Rodgers is in complete control of his offense, and in this stage of his career, I'm taking him over that Brett Favre character. 

The Falcons are really missing Brent Grimes, and their secondary has struggled this season. They're allowing 276 yards per game through the air. 

Rodgers will have a field day on Sunday Night. 

Matthew Stafford

Although I think the Bears' defensive front (most namely Julius Peppers) will be able to apply pressure to Stafford, he'll have a monster game. 

He's at home on Monday night in the biggest game for Detroit in the last 10 years. 

Calvin Johnson will probably help.

That's just a guess. 

Chicago is uncharacteristically surrendering 302 yards through the air so far, and another youngster, Cam Newton, made slicing through their defensive backfield look easy last week. 

Cam Newton

What has Newton done to make anyone think he won't have a huge game?

Not much.

OK, he played in a monsoon and didn't eclipse 200 yards passing against the Jaguars.

Other than that, he's been ridiculously good.

The Saints secondary is certainly the weak-link of their team, although they are very opportunistic and create a lot of turnovers.

I think Newton makes plays with his legs and shreds another defense on Sunday, in what will turn out to be a high-scoring affair in Charlotte.
