Closed NFL 2024-2025: Week 5

Week 5 Picks can be made here!

Guess who picked Atlanta winning.

I thought it was over when Kirk threw a pick with under 2 minutes left.

Missed face mask helped.

@Fool's Requiem - #1 this week so far! You're the only one that picked the Falcons to beat the Bucs!

Of course it took a miracle drive, 51 yard field goal at the end of regulation, winning the OT coin toss and a random 4th receiver to make a catch and take it to the house (after a guy who caught 13 passes for 150 yards had to come out no less), but you still got it!

Cousins over 500 yards...
London 13 catcher for over 150....
Mooney 16 targets and over 100 yards and two tds...
Shoot, even Pitts woke up...

I needed to take risky picks.

I honestly thought Tampa's inability to protect their QB would be what caused them to lose, but Baker wasn't pressured once in the first half.

Their secondary is shit. Losing Davis shouldn't have hurt them as much as it has, especially because McCollum is good. I don't hesitate to start my WR against the TB defense. I like Bowles, but he's a terrible head coach that holds this team back. He's also a defensive mind with no ability to build a defense.

And if Kirk is finally feeling better... this Atlanta team is going to be scary offensively. After week two, it looked like TB was running away with this division again. They should have won this game, to be fair, but no qualms the way ATL played.

I had the Jags beating the Colts, then I changed it back to picking the Colts last night.

I mean, for about 3 days you had the best score in week 5!

Sorry for missing a week 6 thread (don't think it truly mattered). I missed most of my picks in week 6 due to this hurricane, but I'll get week 7 up soon and get back on track for you all!

I'm so upset that the only game I picked wrong was Broncos vs. Chargers. I was saying to my dad at the start of the game that the Broncos had no chance, so I'm not sure why I picked them.

I didn’t have a hurricane in my face and I still missed my picks. We’re all losers.

I didn't come in last for once, and it wasn't just because of people who forgot to put their picks in. I would have done better if I didn't go for some upset picks. Surprisingly, this week went the way it should have (unless the Jets beat the Bills).
