Ok everyone, here are the Week 5 picks: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
There's quite a lot of agreement between players this week. Everyone thinks the Patriots, Eagles, Vikings, and Steelers will win their games, and most people think the Ravens, Colts, Dolphins, Broncos, Raiders, and Packers will win theirs.
The Wisdom of the Crowd picks for this week are:
Cardinals
Ravens
Patriots
Eagles
Colts
Dolphins
Vikings
Steelers
Broncos
Bengals
Rams
Raiders
Packers
Panthers
Both Tiberius and Crossless1 had these exact picks, and most people differ from that list by only 1 or 2 picks.
Good luck everyone!

Great. If I turn out to be right, it will not benefit me much, if at all, in the standings.

Four games are between teams with 1-3 records. Made this week's picks challenging.
The Vikings are unanimous picks against the Texans, but I predict it will be a much closer game than the previous 4.

I tend to go by markets I have a personal connection with.
Which really doesn't help, but whatevs (former hometowns and the like. If TB were to play AZ, or SD and PIT, coin toss).

I have a system, but I depart from it as much as I follow it. I tend to concentrate on points scored the previous week. So far it isn't helping.

Look at two things...who the home team is and what the w-l record for both teams are.

You don't consider strength of schedule, injury reports or series records?
