NFL Predictions Week 6: St. Louis Rams and 3 Teams That Won't Get First Win

We are a quarter of the way through the 2011 NFL season and there are three teams that are still searching for their first win. It’s amazing that there are three teams still winless after five games in a parody-fueled league.   

So is the sky falling for all these teams' fans? Will they continue to go winless through the sixth week of the NFL season? Is there any hope for these teams to get that first win anytime soon?  

And, will those winless fans, minus St. Louis, continue their chants of, “Suck for Luck...Suck for Luck” in anticipation of Stanford’s senior, quarterback Andrew Luck? 

To get the rights of Luck, the fans' hopes are resting on their team finishing as the worst in the NFL, thus getting the first pick in the ’12 NFL draft.  

So, will these three winless teams get their first win this year?  

In short, the answer is no, and here’s why. 

St. Louis Rams (0-4) 

The Rams are a team that came into this season with a bad defense, but could make up for it with an offense that could score points. It was a problem they had last year, but still finished the ’10 season just missing out of the playoffs, losing in the last game of the regular season.  

This year, it seems as if the problems on defense have trickled over to the Rams offense, as every key player on the offensive side of the ball has been injured at sometime this year.  

The Rams have the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, who are a perfect 5-0 this year, next. If Rams fans thought they were going to lose this game before the season started, they are absolutely sure their team will lose after the way they have started. 

Indianapolis Colts (0-5) 

The Colts lost their season when news broke that their quarterback Peyton Manning was going to miss a lot of time due to a neck injury. But, their fans didn’t know that they were going to be this bad.  

They have gotten better as the season has gone on, as the offense has started to score more than once a game. But, as the offense has started to produce, their defense has stopped playing at a high level.  

This week, the Colts have another great chance at getting into the win column for the first time this year, as they travel to the 3-2 Cincinnati Bengals. 

Miami Dolphins (0-4) 

The Dolphins have the best chance out of the two other defeated teams to go defeated this year. That’s an 0-16 record, a feat only accomplished by the Detroit Lions.  

They barely had an offense with quarterback Chad Henne, and now that he’s done for the year with an injury, it looks as if the Dolphins have no answer for him at the quarterback position.  

This week the Dolphins travel to New York to play the 2-3 Jets.  

For St. Louis and Miami this week looks very bad. However, for the Colts, they have a chance against a rookie quarterback in Andy Dalton to get a win against the Bengals.
