NFL Picks Week 5: 3 Teams That Must Be on Upset Alert

It's very possible that we could see a handful of huge upsets in Week 5 of the 2011 NFL season.

Whether it's an inferior team just getting hot at the right time or the better team chocking it away, an upset is exactly that: upsetting.

Well, it's upsetting for the losing team at least.

For the winner, it's a validation of everything they knew coming into the matchup.

There is not a team in the NFL that believes they will lose any given Sunday, so seeing your belief come true can really spark a team to go on a run.

You just never know, in the NFL, and that's exactly why we play the game.

Here are three teams that really need to be on upset alert:

Philadelphia Eagles

If there is one team in the NFL that is primed for an upset, it's got to be the Eagles. They've gone from being the "Dream Team" to the "Nightmare Bunch."

Michael Vick has been upset, beaten up and inconsistent and you can tell that it's all impacting his game. Defensively, they cant stop the run, and the Bills are coming in with one of the best rushers in the league right now in Fred Jackson.

Houston Texans

This is a huge matchup for both teams, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to go the way of the Texans.

Oakland just lost their long time owner Al Davis, and that alone would lead me to believe that the momentum and emotion is going to be on their side. Factor that and the loss of Andre Johnson for the Texans and I think we're looking at a potential upset.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers are exceptionally beat up and they just don't seem to have that swagger to them anymore. The Titans are coming into town with a confident Matt Hasselbeck and the always dangerous Chris Johnson. I don't like the Steelers in this matchup.
