This week we recorded one podcast on Wednesday night and then another for our NFL discussion later in the week. You can find both episodes and the rest of our show’s library on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts.
We certainly had a handful of surprising outcomes in Week 5, in particular the Dolphins’ victory over San Francisco and the Raiders’ win against Kansas City, with both teams playing on the road.
Eric narrowly won the week over Cory, but Cory and Evan split the win for correct picks. With four teams on bye this week, points are assigned 1-14 and any postponements will be treated as they have in past weeks. We will count potential forfeits as a win/loss as if the game had been played.
Fan Leaderboard through Week 5
