http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/fred-warner-jersey , straight up picks for Week 5 NFL action We are entering the fifth week of the season, with most of the NFL through the first quarter of their schedule. Washington and Carolina had a bye last week, and Chicago and Tampa Bay are on bye this week. The week gets started with old rivals not real in the same sphere right now squaring off as the New England Patriots host the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday Night Football.It’s time once again for our pick ‘em and Survivor pool contest options. We have the weekly prediction contest this season, and you can make those picks here. We also have a traditional “Pick ‘Em” contest. If you still want to join, the group name is Niners Nation, the group ID is 45734, and the password is go49ers. You’re pretty far behind, but feel free to join.After a wild Week 3 knocked out a lot of Survivor contestants (or game them their first of two strikes), things settled down in Week 4 with most of the big favorites winning.This week, the San Francisco 49ers might actually be an option for some folks in their Survivor pools. They host the Arizona Cardinals, and are 4.5 point favorites. The 49ers almost knocked out a whole bunch of folks this past week when they came close to upsetting the Los Angeles Chargers. I suspect we see some people try and sneak through Week 5 with the 49ers.Divisional picks are shaky in Survivor, which is why this game and the Raiders-Chargers game have me a bit hesitant. The easiest pick is the Patriots over the Colts tonight, but I suspect we see a fair amount of people picking the Carolina Panthers to beat the New York Giants this Sunday. The Giants are not good Womens Mike Person Jersey , and the Panthers are coming in rested. I’m leaning that way, but we’ll see.Tonight, Week 5 opens with the Patriots hosting the Colts. The Patriots are a 10-point favorite, although sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark have seen the line climb up to 11. touchdown favorite in this one, even with a host of injuries piling up. I think the Colts defense keeps this game close enough, and while I’m not loving it, I’ll take the points with Indy.Here are the rest of my straight-up picks. I was 12-3 last week, bringing my season record to 41-20-2. I’ll have my picks against the spread later this weekend.Colts @ Patriots: PatriotsTitans @ Bills: BillsDolphins @ Bengals: BengalsRavens @ Browns: RavensPackers @ Lions: PackersJaguars @ Chiefs: ChiefsBroncos @ Jets: JetsFalcons @ Steelers: SteelersGiants @ Panthers: PanthersRaiders @ Chargers: ChargersVikings @ Eagles: VikingsCardinals @ 49ers: 49ersRams @ Seahawks: RamsCowboys @ Texans: TexansWashington @ Saints: WashingtonThe 49ers will win/lose against the Packers if... After the Arizona Cardinals game, you wouldn’t be off-base to predict the 49ers didn’t win a single game for the rest of the season. While the mantra of “any given Sunday” can apply to the 49ers in 2018—which couldn’t be applied in 2017 B.G.(Before Garoppolo)—they still have an uphill battle to win another game. The Packers were once on an equal level with roster talent, but now they are going through their own issues with play-calling, coaching, and their quarterback’s knee getting crunched. Aaron Rodgers vanished from the injury report Saturday, so the aforementioned knee injury may no longer be an issue—we’ll see. That doesn’t take away from the fact the 49ers are up against an elite quarterback who http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/arik-armstead-jersey , while has a slightly nerfed receiver corps from prior years, can still be deadly. The 49ers will win if... Rodgers’ knee is apparently not an issue if it’s not showing up on the injury report. I’m sure it’s still something keeping him immobile. If the 49ers defense can take advantage of that and apply pressure, this will make things difficult. Sacks are overrated? They can prove it here by getting to him, getting pressure and forcing him to throw the ball while not on the run. Rodgers has a knack for extending plays with his legs, if the 49ers can take advantage of a slow-moving Rodgers, they might have a chance to sludge that offense and maybe take advantage. The 49ers will lose if...The Packers receiving corps let go of the reliable Jordy Nelson, but two names are nothing but scary: Davante Adams and Jimmy Graham. The latter doesn’t strike as much fear as he did in prior years, but he’s still a threat. And this is the 49ers defense we’re talking about here. If Rodgers can get those two moving, the defense isn’t going to be able to keep up. Sure, there’s Geronimo Allison who’s made a name for himself and Randall Cobb, but they are both game-time decisions. The threats are Adams and Graham. If the defense can’t shut those two down (or just let one one wild) there’s no chance. What do you think will be the reasons the 49ers will win/lose?
