After a one week blip, all is right in the world again as Skinner got his “lock of the week” prediction wrong for Week 5, dropping him to 1-4 for locks this year.
By virtue of his ability to actually hit on his locks, Kirkwood continues to extend his lead, though Skinner claims that this week is where it all starts to turn around for him.
The league sees its first set of BYE weeks this week as Detroit, Houston, Vegas, and Tennessee are all off this weekend.
A quick reminder of the format as the boys will be picking no spreads, just straight up winner take all for each contest on the Sunday slate from Week 1 until Wildcard Weekend. We’ll track their records throughout the season to crown one Kyle superior at NFL prognostication than the other. They’ll also each give their “lock of the week” game, which will be worth 2 pts in the standings (however they can’t use the same team twice as their lock).
So without further ado, here are their picks for Week 5:
Kyle Kirkwood
Season Record 46-26-1
Week 6 Picks
Buccaneers over Steelers
Vikings over Dolphins
Browns over Patriots
Bengals over Saints
Ravens over Giants
Packers over Jets
Jaguars over Colts
Cardinals over Seahawks
Rams over Panthers
Bills over Chiefs
Eagles over Cowboys
49ers over Falcons (Lock of the Week)
