Well, we collectively had our first really crap picking week of the year. I actually like it. It's nice to know that the NFL can still occasionally surprise us.

On another note, I'll be slower than usual at picks league updates this month. Travel.

And onto my picks:

It was the week of upsets! Hot damn did we all not do great...

But I will help out. I wasn't able to much last week given work and then a nice mini vacation to recharge. I will do my best in the meantime.

Rest to follow

[Zurkerx]

Oh my, what a week: I went 5-9. This is definitely the upset week for us - and no one did well overall. But let's point at the biggest loser: the Cardinals, who spectacularly choked in perhaps one of the most embarrassing ways. Not only did they let the Titans come back and win, they should have had another touchdown. You fumbled it before you crossed the goal line because you got cocky? That's going to cost you. And what else will cost you? Intercepting the ball - only then for you to fumble it back into the endzone and for the Titans to land on it. Touchdown. This team might as well be the Jets of the West.

Anyway, onto Week 6:

Rams over 49ers
Vikings over Browns
Colts over Raiders
Giants over Saints
Cowboys over Jets
Eagles over Broncos
Dolphins over Panthers
Ravens over Texans
Cardinals over Titans
Buccaneers over Seahawks
Lions over Bengals
Chargers over Commanders
Bills over Patriots
Chiefs over Jaguars

Joe Flacco is a Bengal.

[Jerzylvania]

How awful has it been for the Ravens?

Well known Balt. Raven Superfan Captain Dee-Fense has apparently died.

[Jerzylvania]

Joe Flacco is a Bengal.

Mile High Miracle man just loves the game and a decent paycheck. You know he's going into coaching once he's finished his playing days and why not?

Absolutely. Otherwise many fans would make a living on betting NFL games rather than doing something productive.

[Jerzylvania]

Wow, a lot of love for the 1-3 Ravens led by Cooper Rush in the picks apparently!

Well, no news there as he stunk in the preseason too. AFC backup QBs need to be tough. C. Rush aint that guy imo.
Luckily the Ravens grabbed our old backup Tyler Huntley off waivers just before the season. Now forget Cooper Rush but he probably gets the start vs LAR. Ugh. He's not anywhere near a good fit for the Ravens offensive schemes.

[Frismana]

They were the Jets before there was the Jets and still run by the nightmare ownership of the Bidwell family, now nearing 100 years.

Solid piece on the Cardinals franchise, which is 106 years old... etc. etc. etc.

According to the Picks Sheet I am currently in first. I shall strive to retain the position; however, my picking ability will inevitably decrease. I don't see me winning.

Tiami and Farn are both missing the Chargers-Fins game. Don't copy that list!

[Zantalio]

I hope the Bears win because if that happens my math teacher will give me no homework for a day. Unlikely though.
