Week 4 NFL

Week 4 has passed and there have been some surprises. Probably the one most people know is Tom Brady being out for the year. What most people don't know is that in his absence the Bills have gone undefeated so far and sit alone atop the AFC East. This week Jauron's Bill's face the Cards in the desert then have a bye. After the bye they face the Chargers. Then we'll see if this Bill's team is for real. Else where in the AFC is the red hot Tennessee Titans. Their Defense allows an average of 263 yards a game and have established themselves as the team to beat in the AFC. This week they have a tough matchup in what will most likely be a defensive game against the Ravens. 
Over on the NFC the Rams just can't win and as a result the Rams fired coach Scott Linehan most likely due to the benching of quarterback Marc Bulger which drew criticism from running back Stephen Jackson. Linehan as coach had lost the last 17 of 20 games and had been outscored 147 to 43 this season. Linehan's three year stint in St. Louis gave him 8 million dollars and a 11 and 25 record. Defensive coordinator Jim Hasslet will take over the reigns and try to right the ship in St. Louis. Along with Scott Linehan's firing, Lane Kiffin was fired in Oakland. Proving that the black hole isn't the fans in Oakland, it's the franchise itself. The Raiders just can't seem to get anything right. Both the Rams and Raiders no less than ten years ago were on the top of the ladder in the NFL. Now they contend for the first round pick in the draft. 
Some picks for week 5 The Eagles over The Redskins
I'll take Minnesota over the Saints
The Steelers over the Jacksonville
and my game of the week I will take The Ravens to hand the Titans their first loss.
