I always enjoy hearing from him. He often briefly, very briefly, explains his choices. He is pretty witty. Of course, he always chooses the Patriots to win and the New York teams to lose. I sense that this week he is a little nervous about NE vs Cincy. I understand that his team has lost a key player due to an injury.

All right! 19 players have made their predictions on the Week 5 games.
We are split on 2 of them. 11 of us are picking Cleveland tonight while 8 of us are going with Buffalo. By the same margin we choose Indianapolis over Seattle.
Overall, we concur on 80% of our picks this week. That is in line with previous outings.
Kolyo and Ragman are in agreement with the majority on every match, followed by George, Rhys and Johnboy who are out of step on just 1 game.
McGentrix and JPB are feeling disagreeable, differing from the rest of us on 7 and 6, respectively.

I need to change 2 of my picks, if I can.

I am going to go with CINCINNATI to beat New England and OAKLAND to beat San Diego.
Call it a hunch on both games.

It's too late to make changes. Players are supposed to "lock in" their picks before the start of the FIRST game. Usually that is on Thursday night. Sorry about that. I made a note, though, of your hunches.

Leftovers:
I don't recall if I mentioned where we are in the Team Thing after 4 weeks:
The Cool Kids (Tico/Kolyo/JPB) are at 63. They hold their 5 point lead over
The REMs (Rhys/Ehbeth/Mysteryman) who are at 68.
PanzadeAndFriends are at 72 along with The Goths (Ragman/Andy/George).
Miz Cowdoc/Coastalrat/Lightening check in at 75.
And trailing are the teams of Johnboy/Osso/McGentrix and Edgar/Jespah/Cowdoc at 78.
In other news, the San Diego at Oakland game, originally scheduled for 4:30 ET, will now start at 11:30 tonight. The reason the NFL gave was to allow the ground crew time to get the field ready after yesterday's baseball game. It had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with the fact that the change would cause the game to be shifted from CBS to the NFL's own tv network.

I knew Cincy was going to win, I just had a hunch about it.

Do I get credit for picking them ,even though I picked them late?

Nope, you don't.
But there were 6 players who did choose Cincy.
Nine games are in the books. And the leader of the pack is the incredibly knowledgeable about all things football: JOHNBOY! He has a brilliant record so far of 8-1. Miami shoulda won.
He is trailed by a bunch of folks at 7-2.
Did I mention that JOHNBOY is in the lead?

I wonder whether JohnBoy knows he's in the lead . . .
