It was an uneventful week in the end, despite close calls with the Chiefs and Eagles. I still have my four entries in the offshore book alive, the home pool and the Seslowsky pool.

Here are the numbers for Week 5:

There is no pot-odds play here because the Dolphins and Lions ownership is too close to make a difference. And the Commanders are far less likely to win than those two teams. So it’s still take whoever you think will win this week.

I'll talk with Seslowsky about it on tomorrow’s podcast, but right now I’m leaning Lions in part because I’m a homer who doesn’t want to get knocked off by his own team, but in part because if Andrew Thomas and Saquon Barkley are back, I think it’ll be a tight game.

The Panthers are a desperate animal, but I don’t see Bryce Young pulling it off, and the Lions pass rush looked good Thursday night too.

The Bears (who looked like an NFL team against last week) could easily beat the Team.

I’m all in on the Lions this week, but we’ll see what Alan has to say about that in our shared pool.
