I know the Monday Night game hasn’t been played yet, but it certainly isn’t too early to talk about week 5. Mostly I’m just too depressed to talk about baseball (that sinking feeling in my stomach that reminds me the Red Sox’ season is over just won’t go away) right now. As one of my friends said, it really never gets easier.

Anyway, it’s football season! And as we are now in week 5, we’re starting to figure out where all those teams we were confused about lie. And we definitely learned a lot this week.

Stock Up: Denver, Cincinatti, Seattle

Let me start with the Denver Broncos. I definitely have not been on that bandwagon, and if you read this article I wrote a couple days ago entitled, “Overachieving in Denver” you might note that I had already penciled in the Broncos to be 4-4 after Week 9. Well that’s not going to hapeen anymore. The Broncos proved that they can beat good teams too, taking down the Patriots in overtime. (A friend noted that the Giants have had an easier schedule than the Broncos, so it was wrong to criticize Denver for not having had a real matchup) And I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a head coach more pumped up than Josh McDaniels at the end of the game. Furthermore, the Patriots are still listed by Footballlocks.com as the odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl, should that still be the case?
