Fifth Down, Week Thirteen

Over the weekend, Mississippi State lost their coach and the Egg Bowl. Couldn't say I didn't see it coming.

Titans 34, Lions 9 - Win. Again, over two-hundred yards rushing for Tennessee. Actual score: Titans 47, Lions 10

Cowboys 31, Seahawks 10 - Win. Dallas is dangerous again. Actual score: Cowboys 34, Seahawks 9

Cardinals 27, Eagles 17 - Loss. Can Arizona last long if they don't develop a functioning running game? I don't think so. Actual score: Eagles 48, Cardinals 20

Bills 20, 49ers 14 - Loss. Which Trent Edwards showed up? The one from the week before. Probably, a bit of both. Actual score: 49ers 10, Bills 3

Ravens 24, Bengals 10 - Win. I don't think Marvin Lewis has much longer left. Actual score: Ravens 34, Bengals 3

Buccaneers 28, Saints 20 - Win. New Orleans' D played well, but Tampa's D played better. Actual score: Buccaneers 23, Saints 20

Giants 20, Redskins 13 - Win. Over four-hundred total yards from the champs, and their D bottled up Portis. Actual score: Giants 23, Redskins 7

Dolphins 29, Rams 10 - Win. The Rams D played one of its best games of the year; unfortunately, its passing offense did not. Actual score: Dolphins 16, Rams 12

Colts 21, Browns 6 - Win. Cleveland's offense needs to be put back in the oven. Actual score: Colts 10, Browns 6

Packers 17, Panthers 14 - Loss. Great tennis match. On the final Packer drive, Rodgers tried to go long too soon, resulting in his only pick of the day. Acual score: Panthers 35, Packers 31

Falcons 24, Chargers 23 - Win. Atlanta should have closed this one sooner than they did. Much sooner. Actual score: Falcons 22, Chargers 16

Jets 34, Broncos 13 - Loss. I feel pity for Jay Cutler...because, uh, his arm might be sore from throwing the ball so hard? Didn't see this one coming the way it did. Actual score: Jets 34, Broncos 17

Patriots 13, Steelers 10 - Win. I was wrong. Pittsburgh ran and ran, and their defense and special teams covered and smothered. Actual score: Steelers 33, Patriots 10

Chiefs 19, Raiders 18 - Win. Yay! Actual score: Chiefs 20, Raiders 13

Bears 21, Vikings 17 - Loss. Minnesota's front four put enough pressure on Orton so that the Vikings could drift everyone else out zone coverage, and Orton couldn't beat it. Those dropped passes sure didn't help much. Actual score: Vikings 34, Bears 14

Texans 24, Jaguars 12 - Win. Does Jacksonville care anymore? Apparently, they do, as they had one of their best offensive game of the season. Too bad they got sloppy with the ball. Actual score: Texans 30, Jaguars 17.
