Jimmy Kimmel’s Cousin Sal has been giving us his three weekly NFL picks this season, and the guy is strong. Last week, his picks went 2-1, including when he predicted the Bengals would defeat the Bills.

This week,  find out how he thinks the Eagles, Patriots, and Seattle will fare in Week 5.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Buffalo Bills: Sal believes the 1-3 Eagles have not finished their slide, saying the “Dream Team has overdosed on NyQuil”.  With the Bills going strong, and currently being second team in the league in takeaways, Sal says go with the Bills.

Prediction: Bills 26, Eagles 20
Take the Bills +3

New England Patriots vs. NY Jets:  Sal knows New England is an offensive powerhouse, but he believes that if the Jets can keep Brady under 350 yards, they have a real shot. With a less than stellar defense, Mark Sanchez won’t get battered, and Sal predicts a Jets upset.

Prediction: Jets 30, Patriots 28
Take the Jets +9

NY Giants vs. Seattle Seahawks: Eli Manning is quietly having a good season, and Sal predicts the Seahawks will score less than 17 points. He even instructs Bean to skip watching the game altogether, and just go see Real Steel instead.

Prediction: Giants 27, Seahawks 7
Take the Bills +10
