Here are my thoughts on the fifth week of the NFL. Please remember there are 32 teams in the NFL, there is no way I could mention every big play made by every player in every game. If you want to talk about your favorite team or player, just leave a comment about it and I while address it.

MVP of the Week:  Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo was at a crossroads in this NFL season.  The Cowboys were just 2-2 and he hadn't thrown a touchdown in two games.  Furthermore, his team was losing to the 0-4 Kansas City Chiefs, one of the worst teams in the NFL.  Romo stepped up in that game and finished 20 for 34 with 351 yards, two touchdowns, zero picks, and a QB rating of 113.7 in Dallas's 26-20 OT win.  Dallas's star receiver earns player of the week honors as well, but it

MVP of the Week:  Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers led all quarterbacks in passing yards with 384, but it was Minnesota Vikings QB Brett Favre's week as he threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns in the Minnesota Vikings 30-23 win over his former employer, the Packers.  Pittsburgh Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall led all running backs with 165 yards and two rushing touchdowns in a 35-28 win over the San Diego

With three weeks in the books there are still a few teams that are anxious to earn their first win of the season, most surprisingly three division winners from 2008 (Carolina, Miami and Tennessee). while others are looking to build an early season lead in their division. There is only one game with 3-0 teams facing each other, New York Jets vs New Orleans Saints.

Here are the top five games I have identified for Week Four, with the rest of the games picked after that. My record for the season is 31-17.

01) Baltimore Ravens (3-0) at New England Patriots (2-1) - No one is playing better in the AFC than Baltimore right now, they have won their three games by 16.7 points per game, which is first among AFC teams and trails only New Orleans. Everyone knows about Baltimore's defense but their

With two weeks in the books there are a few teams that are anxious to earn their first win of the season, while others are looking to build an early season lead in their division. There is only one game with 2-0 teams facing each other, San Francisco vs. Minnesota.

Here are the top five games I have identified for Week Three, with the rest of the games picked after that. My record for the season is 21-11, my record suffering from an 8-8 Week Two record.

1) San Francisco 49ers (2-0) at Minnesota Vikings (2-0) - The only match up between unbeaten teams. The big question is whether the Minnesota Vikings, who have led the NFL in run defense the last three years (they rank 15th this year) will be able to stop Frank Gore, who is second in the NFC in rushing yards (237), behind only Adrian

MVP of the Week:  This is looking like a season where QB Drew Brees is going to be in this part of the letter every week.  This time he helped the New Orleans Saints torch what was a very good pass defense in 2008, lighting up the Philadelphia Eagles for 25 completions on 34 attempts, 311 yards passing, three touchdowns, one pick and a QB rating of 118.6 in a 48-22 win.  San Francisco 49er RB Frank Gore led

The opening weekend of NFL action was just as good as expected and now it is time for Week 2 to begin. There are several games with 1-0 teams looking to make an early season statement and several games where teams are looking to avoid the dreaded 0-2 start.

Here are the top five games I have identified for opening weekend, with the rest of the games picked after that.  My record for the season is 13-3.

01) Carolina Panthers (0-1) at Atlanta Falcons (1-0) - I'm not going to call anything a must win in Week 1, but if the Panthers get blown out again and QB Jake Delhomme plays terrible, there is going to be a lot of pressure on HC John Fox to make a change at quarterback. The Falcons looked terrific at home last week against Miami and were able to limit the Dolphins running game,

The NFL regular season is just a couple of weeks away, which means it is time to start making predictions on who will win the various divisions and play in the Super Bowl. Here are my picks for the AFC.  This article originally appeared on fantasypros911.com:

1) AFC East

The Favorite(s): Even though the New England Patriots did not win the division in 2008 (finished 11-5) and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2002, the Patriots have to remain the favorite to recapture the division.  The Patriots are just two years removed from finishing 16-0 and were without the 2007 MVP QB Tom Brady, who injured his knee in the first game of the 2008 season and missed the entire year.  He has looked sharp this preseason and with WRs Randy Moss, Wes Welker
