Welcome back, football fans, to Week 5 in the NFL! Last week saw Bruce lead the charge with an impressive 11-5 record, making him the undisputed champion of Week 4. Tim followed with a solid 10-6, while Farace and Anthony both posted respectable 9-7 records. Meanwhile, Dave and Ed decided to keep things .500 at 8-8, and Arick brought up the rear at 7-9—he’s still working on finding the right crystal ball. Overall, we went 62-50, putting us at a not-too-shabby 55.36% for the week. Let’s just say we’re improving… slowly.
Taking a peek at the standings for the season so far, it’s a tight race at the top. Dave and Bruce are tied for first at 36-28, with Farace, Anthony, and Ed all hot on their heels at 35-29. Tim is doing his best to stay in the mix at 34-30, while Arick might need to consider some unconventional methods to catch up, sitting at 31-33. As a group, we’re 242-206 on the season, which isn’t too bad—though there’s definitely room for improvement!
Now, let’s talk about Week 5! The Falcons have already taken down the Bucs on Thursday night, and the rest of our picks are ready to roll. We’ve got a few locks—everyone seems sure about the Vikings, Packers, and Chiefs this week. And then there’s Arick, putting his money on the Jets to surprise the Vikings. We’ve also got some split opinions on the Cowboys-Steelers matchup, with Tim and Dave riding with Dallas while the rest are sticking with Pittsburgh. The locks are marked in green, but as always, confidence can be a dangerous thing in the NFL. Let’s see how it all plays out!
