With an overall record of 28-33, including 6-7 last week, TSN football analyst Chris Schultz is back with his Week 5 selections in the NFL in Risky Business. Minnesota at Green Bay (-9.5) It is easy to build a case that this game will be closer than the spread. The Vikings are getting excellent play out of three rookies: LB Anthony Barr #1 out of UCLA, QB Teddy Bridgewater later in that round out of Louisville and the third round pick RB Jerick McKinnon out of Georgia Southern. It was evident last week as Minnesota moved the ball for 558 total yards against Atlanta. This is a divisional game and, in the past, Mike Zimmer has played Aaron Rogers well when he was the defensive coordinator in Cincinnati. Green Bays run defence has to improve and Eddie Lacy has to have a breakout game. On a short week, both could happen for Green Bay. Is Bridgewater healthy enough to be effective? you know he will be limited in practice, if he practices at all. Packers Chicago at Carolina (-2.5) What was a great defence in Carolina to start the year is now a problem. Carolina did have one of the best defensive front sevens in football but after four games, they are 27th against the pass. With Chicago, the Cutler mistakes destroyed any competitive chance against Green Bay but Matt Forte is coming off his personal best of 2014. With possible injuries to the three primary running backs in Carolina and anticipating Cutler playing a better mistake-free game, I like Chicago to bounce back more effectively in efficiency right in Bank of America Stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers. Bears Baltimore at Indianapolis (-3.5) Both teams are playing their collective best football right now. Andrew Luck has put together his two best games of his career using 10 different receivers last week. Yes, those two games have been against Jacksonville and Tennessee. The Ravens have won three in a row and Steve Smith at 35 is playing like he is 25. Vontae Davis is also 35 in a downfield WR/CB competition to watch. Where I think the Colts have an advantage is in Ahmad Bradshaw at running back. Elusive with power, the former New York Giant is a complete player. Still, both quarterbacks have seen it all from every type of NFL defence but an absence of a pass rush from the Colts and the consistency of the pass rush from the Ravens is a key difference in the game. I think Joe Flacco will have time to see his routes fully develop downfield, Luck not so much. Ravens Houston at Dallas (-4) The word for Dallas is discipline in play-calling. The NFLs leading rusher is DeMarco Murray with 534 yards going into Week 5. Just use him and everything should fall into place. With Houston, JJ Watt had two brutal roughing the passer calls and then won the game on an 80-yard interception return. I look for Watt to line up on the defences left side, offences right and make plays. But will that be enough? For Dallas, they are better than expected on defence and you can say better than expected on offence and that was a given that they would be good. As long as Tony Romo throws in the area of 25 passes, Dallas should be as effective this week as last week. Cowboys Buffalo at Detroit (-7) Detroit is going to score some points but also plays its best defence at home, allowing 14 and seven points in last two home games. Kyle Orton is a good quarterback and can lead a team to NFL wins but I dont know if he can go touchdown-for-touchdown with Matthew Stafford, Golden Tate, Reggie Bush and the entire offence of Detroit. Former Lions head coach Jim Schwartz returns to run the Bills defence. Detroit Pittsburgh (-6.5) at Jacksonville Win one, lose one, win one, lose one so far for the Steelers. Lose four in a row, allowing 33 or more points for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Game 2 for Blake Bortles and he will continue to improve, I just dont know if he has the defence to slow anyone down. The Steelers should respond after the Tampa Bay loss in a game they had 13 penalties for 125 yards. This wont be about winning, it will be about playing four great quarters of football. Steelers Tampa Bay at New 0rleans (-10) Its not always who you play but when you play them and with the Saints coming off being dominated by Dallas, they want to get back to not just winning but dominating themselves. Being at home in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome makes a big difference. The Saints have won 18 straight at home and often by double digit scores. One reason that Tampa Bay was so bad in Atlanta and so good in Pittsburgh was the heath of their starters. In Atlanta, they were not healthy, in Pittsburgh they were healthier. Still, the Saints offence is comparable to Atlanta, so... Saints Atlanta at NY Giants (-4) All logic says take the Giants. Atlanta lost two starting offensive lineman and the Giants looked the best they have ever looked in Washington, winning easy. Also, Atlanta is similar to New 0rleans in that they are spectacular at home, not so much on the road. The new offence of Ben McAdoo and Eli Manning found its grove last Thursday and Atlanta could not stop a rookie running back in Jerick MaKinnon last week. All logic says Giants... Giants St Louis at Philadelphia (-7) The Rams may be better than originally thought, especially after QB Sam Bradfords season-ending injury. Austin Davis is the Rams third quarterback but right now, he is completing 72 per cent of his passes and looks anything but overwhelmed. The big negative surprise in Philadelphia is the absence of a productive LeSean McCoy, avaraging only 2.7 yards per carry. Last week in San Francisco, all the Eagles points came on a blocked punt, a punt return and interception return. Not as smooth and polished as anticipated. Rams Cleveland at Tennessee (-2) Coming off the bye week, the Browns have been competitive in every game and beat New Orleans at home. The Titans have health issue at quarterback and have only one upset win at KC in Week 1. The Browns should get Ben Tate back and the Titans have been outscored 100-34 the last three weeks; mind you, against three good teams. After so much public attention, QB Brian Hoyer has yet to throw an interception and kept Johnny Manziel on the bench. Browns Arizona at Denver (-7) Both teams are coming off the bye week so its like starting the season all over again with three games of experience to work with. There are two reasons why I like Denver. First, Arizona allows a 67 per cent completion rate which is extremely high and second, Arizona also leads the NFL in first downs acquired by penalty. But there are two reasons why I like Arizona. Third round draft pick John Brown is a complement to Larry Fitzgerald and Malcom Floyd and second, their 3rd down efficiency is at 48 per cent and thats a very high number. But in the end, as good as Arizona is and they are, I think Denver is due and with a week in between, it benefits Denver more than Arizona. Denver NY Jets at San Diego (-6.5) The Chargers are quietly a very good team. Only Seattle has scored over 20 points on the Chargers defence and that was 21. There is a concern that, with Ryan Mathews and Danny Woodhead out, can Donald Brown carry the load as a full time #1 running back. I think he can. Philip Rivers has a 9:1 touchdown to interception ratio while Geno Smith is 4:5. This really would be the upset of the year so far in NFL football but I cant see it happening. The Chargers are just throwing the football better than any team right now. Chargers Kansas City at San Francisco (-6.5) How enjoyable would it be for Alex Smith to go into Levis Stadium and beat the team that drafted him #1 overall in 2005 only to dismiss him as insignificant and all used up two years ago? Yes, Kansas City beat what looks like an average New England Patriot team - or did Kansas City make them look average. The Chiefs must keep Colin Kaepernick in the pocket as he is deadly on designed run plays to the outside, making a 3rd down to a 1st down with his sprinting style. I cant see either team dominating the other. Chiefs Cincinnati at New England (Pick em) Something is missing. Ive never seen Tom Brady make such an illogical decision downfield and with disastrous results. Is it him or the people around him? Probably both but that play is on him. Ive never seen a Bill Belicheck team allow 303 yards in the first half because it has never happened before. This could be a transitional game of reality perception: the past success and dominant play of the Patriots taken over by the new success and youthful regular season success of the Cincinnati Bengals. Looks like logic to me. Bengals Seattle (-7) at Washington The Seahawks are coming off bye week and Washington is coming off 10 days between games. One aspect of Seattle that is not public enough is they are very good against the run most of the time with San Diego being an exception. If Alfred Morris does not get going early and often, then I cant see Washington moving the ball at all. Kirk Cousins is not as bad as his Giants performance but not good as his best game. I am sure RG3 was sitting up high at FedEx Field thinking see, not as easy as it looks. Defensive energy will be at an all-time high and Im not sure if Washington can match it on Monday Night Football. Home underdog is always a good choice, but it is Seattle as the visiting team.

The Blue Jays had been in the mix for the former Kansas City Royal with several Toronto players making a public plea to sign the 33-year-old former all-star. But Santana, a Dominican who counts several Jays as friends, elected instead to sign with the injury-ravaged Atlanta Braves. "I probably dont want to comment on how close I felt we got or didnt get," the Blue Jays general manager said Wednesday. Anthopoulos deflected many questions on Santana, leaving the impression he was not happy with the way the process had gone. Asked if he felt used, he said "No, no. But (thats) probably the only thing Im going to say." Money and terms apparently werent factors in Santanas decision to sign with Atlanta. "He had a strong desire to pitch in the NL and there was no way to compete with that," said Anthopoulos, who is also Torontos senior vice-president of baseball operations. Was that always the case, he was asked? "Very good question," Anthopoulos replied, before suggesting it was better directed at the pitchers camp. However the Jays GM did say he was told "recently" of that strong NL interest. Such hints aside, Anthopoulos was clearly looking to take the high road, "Obviously its done. He made his decision. Hes in Atlanta. Great signing for them. I wish him the best. Sorry it didnt work out with us." Certainly the NL East, home to the .sub-500 Miami Marlins, New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies last season, might seem more hospitable than the thorny AL East. Especially when Santana is eligible for free agency again after this season. Santana has spent his entire career in the American League, with eight seasons as a Los Angeles Angel before being traded to the Royals in 2013. His career record is 105-90 with a 4.19 ERA. He became a free agent after turning down a US$14.1-million qualifying one-year offer from the Royals. Its the same deal he accepted from the Braves and likely in the same ballpark as the Jays offer. Minnesota reportedly tendered a thrree-year offer but at a lesser annual rate.dddddddddddd Unlike last off-season, the Jays have been quiet in player acquisitions. So the Santana snub stands front and centre. Anthopoulos said everyone in the organization wanted Santana to become a Jay. "I think we all feel we did everything we could," he added. With Josh Johnson gone and question-marks over J.A. Happ and Ricky Romero, the Jays have been looking to bolster a starting rotation that features R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Brandon Morrow. Asked about the paucity of additions, Anthopoulos instead pointed to the healthy return of players like outfielder Melky Cabrera and pitcher Drew Hutchison. "We think Drews got a chance to be outstanding and hes put himself in a great position to make this club. I think if he does make this club, hes got a chance to have a tremendous year." Anthopoulos acknowledged the questions from fans and other observers. "All that being said, I can understand skepticism that comes with the job, the performance we had on the field last year. I think we will show how good we are when we break (spring training). I think the guys that we have tremendous upside but we would have loved to add someone just to have depth." "We werent going to force a deal and do things we really didnt believe in just to make a splash," he added. The GM said the Jays were "extremely close" to landing another starting pitcher in a trade only to see it not happen. He did not provide any other details. Bottom line, he says, the Jays like their talent but know it lacks seasoning in some quarters. So the search continues for that experience. NOTES -- Happ, whose spring training progress has been delayed by back problems, threw a side session Tuesday and "everything felt good," according to manager John Gibbons. Closer Casey Janssen, who has had soreness in his shoulder, was scheduled to throw a side session Wednesday. Dustin McGowan is also back after losing eight pounds to the same stomach bug that hit fellow pitcher Sergio Santos. ' ' '
