NFL Predictions Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles and 3 Teams Ready to Explode

It’s already Week 5 of the 2011 NFL season, and there are teams under pressure that will erupt for a huge point output today.

While Sundays are built for rest, the defenses that will face these teams today will have to wait until Monday to get their peace and quiet, because they’re going to get run ragged in Week 5.

Look out for the following teams to put a hurting on their opponent, and make the league notice just how talented their teams really are.

Philadelphia Eagles: After becoming the “Dream Team” this offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles stumbled out of the starting blocks and into a 1-3 record through the first quarter of the season.

With a tough test in the 3-1 Buffalo Bills, Michael Vick and the Eagles will launch an offensive assault against the mediocre Buffalo Bills defense that will win Philadelphia the game. Let’s just hope the defense can make a stop or two.

New York Jets: After a 2-2 start to their season, the New York Jets are staring at a New England Patriots team that wants to knock the Jets into the Stone Age. While that is the Pats’ desire, this game could be a one-way battle in favor of the Jets.

The Jets secondary is second in the NFL in yards allowed and the Patriots aren’t solid enough in the running game to exploit the Jets weakness, and the Patriots have a secondary bad enough to make Mark Sanchez look good. Expect a New York Jets victory from their offense.

San Diego Chargers: The San Diego Chargers missed the playoffs last season with a 9-7 record, but look to show their dominance early and often this season o prove the doubters wrong.

Besides starting 3-1, the Chargers will look to make an example of their mediocre divisional rival Denver Broncos and show the NFL just how dangerous their offense and defense can be.
