NFL Picks Week 5: Buccaneers vs. 49ers and 3 Risky Games to Stay Away from

Be it survivor pools, pick'em challenges or betting, there are a few coin-toss games that you need to avoid like the plague. These games could go either way and some of them could even be blowouts in either direction.

Here are three risky games to stay away from this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers and Buccaneers are both coming in at 3-1. The Bucs are coming off a close victory against the Colts. Meanwhile, the 49ers are coming off an incredible comeback victory against the Eagles and get to return home with all the confidence in the world.

This is going to be a ground-it-out battle on the ground between the 49ers' tandem of Kendall Hunter and Frank Gore and the Bucs' workhorse back LeGarrette Blount. Both teams are red-hot right now and neither can be discounted.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Buffalo Bills

The Eagles are on the verge of collapsing. They fell to the 49ers in an epic defeat last week. LeSean McCoy only rushed for 18 yards in Week 4 and the Eagles surrendered a 20-point lead to lose the game.

The Eagles could turn it on and obtain a signature victory this week or continue imploding. The same goes for the Bills, who suffered a tough loss to the Bengals after taking down the Patriots. Both of these teams have explosive offenses and this game could be a blowout in either direction.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Indianapolis Colts

It's impossible to have faith in either one of these teams. Both are bottom feeders even though the Chiefs have a win and the Colts have looked semi-decent against the Steelers and Bucs in recent weeks.

Matt Cassel vs. Curtis Painter in a shootout isn't a matchup worth watching, nor is it one worth gambling on. Stay far away from what is sure to be a sloppy and frustrating game between cellar dwellers.
