Pigskin Pickem Thread: Week 5

10-5-2023

[RedMonqey]

I got eight with me going against my ‘Boys. The earlier games were murder for everyone.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Lucky to have 7 so far.

[RedMonqey]

I got eight so far, the late games pulled me up mid way.
We’ll see how the Green Bay game goes tonight.

[zzeeman]

Heh, I ended up with 6 for the week... probably my worst week picking ever...

Congrats to all that got 7, 8, or 9!

Tough week on everyone. Following week 4 (our best as a group) which had 27 players win 10 or more, this week only about half of the group got one or two wins better than 50%.

[Rummyfan]

Man I had a terrible week. Nothing to say but on to Week 6.

[mware]

Heads up a few injuries reported that might affect pick for Vikings, Colts, Broncos, Browns

[RedMonqey]

Ended better than I thought I would but was really disappointed in the Green Bay game last night. Raiders defense stood up better than I thought. 8-8 is good considering the games.

[KC Burke]

My wife said she had seen everything after catching me rooting for the Raiders last night.

[RedMonqey]

Although I got an “average” 8, this week is an example why I don’t put money on the table. Many favorites lost and underdogs won.
Got better uses for the money in my pocket.
Good luck for everyone at week

Maybe my “Boys will rebound. Well, maybe ....

[RedMonqey]

It was a tough week for you considering your usual excellent record.
Better luck next week!

Cardinals running back James Conner is expected to miss multiple weeks with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday’s 34-20 loss to the Bengals, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

_________________________________________________

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson will miss at least the next four games because of a strained right hamstring he suffered Sunday in the team’s 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the biggest blow in what has been a catastrophic start to the team’s season.

__________________________________________________

Dolphins running back De’Von Achane is expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury and is a candidate for injured reserve, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday.

___________________________________________________

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch could miss four to six weeks because of a neck strain suffered in Sunday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers, according to multiple sources.

___________________________________________________

Bills linebacker Matt Milano and defensive tackle DaQuan Jones will be sidelined indefinitely with injuries sustained in Buffalo’s loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, coach Sean McDermott said Monday.

Milano (leg) and Jones (pectoral) will both have surgery, McDermott said. It has not been determined whether either player will be sidelined for the season, according to McDermott.

The injuries came a week after starting cornerback Tre’Davious White suffered a season-ending Achilles injury.

________________________________________________

Indianapolis Colts Coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Richardson (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint sprain and will miss “some time,” Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

______________________________________________

Deshaun Watson (shoulder) did not suit up alongside his teammates for Monday’s practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

______________________________________________

Saquon Barkley, RB,
Mon, Oct 9: Coach Brian Daboll said the status of Barkley (ankle) for Sunday’s game against the Bills is “yet to be determined,” Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Daniel Jones, QB,
Mon, Oct 9: The Giants are optimistic that Jones (neck) avoided a serious injury during Week 5’s loss to the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

[RedMonqey]

The raiders were my favorite AFC team back in the seventies but fell out of favor with their move of out Oakland. A big FU to the fan base in my opinion.

[RedMonqey]

Dallas losing Van Esch is pouring salt into a open wound after they say Dallas played. The bench for linebackers is thin, too.

[chuck allen]

Oh I’ve had bad weeks before, everyone does. Seems like every year there are one or two weeks like this where everything goes wonky. Jax over Bills was the first evidence on Sunday morning, it was downhill from there. Lucky I picked 7 winners, the Raiders helped me out last night, I didn’t know who to pick in that game.

[KC Burke]

As a Kansas City Chiefs fan since their inception, I was always against the Raiders.

[RedMonqey]

That’s understandable given they’re in the same division.

Envious of your teams recent success.

Would you take Jerrah for a future first round daft pick?

Please!!!

[RedMonqey]

That was a good game even though I picked the losing team.

Unlike the blowout in Sunday night’s game
Whew!!

[al_c]

Oh my! Horrible picking on my part.
