Overall, we as a site did pretty good with our picks last week. Obviously we all missed on the Titans beating the Eagles, but damnit if I didn’t think long and hard about picking that game. Alas, I instead went with the Giants beating the Saints which most clearly did not happen. Things went pretty par for the course last week.
Here’s a check-in on how the standings currently look. Shoutout to last year’s champ Paddi who’s starting to pull away.

Onto Week 5!
Unanimous picks: Patriots over Colts, Panthers over Giants, Chargers over Raiders
Ledge picks: Bills over Titans (Mark), Dolphins over Bengals (Mark), Falcons over Steelers (Clark), Seahawks over Rams (Clark)
Honestly, I could see a world where the Bills beat the Titans. The Titans have not looked their 3-1 record and I don’t think it crazy that the Bills could put together a decent game and win. That being said, do I think it enough to pick the Bills? HELL NO. Bills are garbage and the Titans just beat the Super Bowl champs. Bills getting walloped.
I could create a narrative for every ledge pick except for Clark’s Seahawks over Rams pick. The Rams are hands down the best team in football and they are not losing to the lowly Seahawks. Russell Wilson won’t be able to get a pass 20 yards downfield before getting sandwiched between Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh, how’s he gonna score the 40 points it’ll take to beat the Rams? Riddle me that Batman.
Anyways, please excuse Heath’s jumbles of picks. He has an actual life and does important things like raising a family while I’m just sitting at my computer all day constantly refreshing twitter wondering if I should start Adrian Peterson this week against the Saints. As such, his picks are currently incomplete. Give the man a break. He works hard and means well.
Feast your eyes on Week 5:
