I wonder if him and Einstein are "roommates"

I don’t know, but I would not be surprised to find out they share a Facebook group chat or something with a couple other notorious posters

The Lions have quietly built a pretty great offense. Goff limits how far it can go but they have a ton of talent and the rookie on the way soon. 
 

This week I like the Jets to beat Miami. 
Breece Hall show. 180 scrimmage yards and 2 touchdowns. Iron Maiden has a complete meltdown with a 60 day ban 😂

 

That defense though is crap. To give up 48 points to Geno and the Seahawks at home. That had to hurt.

They have no talent on defense lol. 
They have a base of maybe 3-4 younger guys to build off of. Linebackers and secondary is probably the least talented in the league.

I can absolutely see any of the following upsets happen:
Colts over Broncos (Broncos are looking like a mess too)
Jets over Dolphins (this is my favorite)

Lions over Pats (Top scoring offense - but needs to find a way to may Pats punt)
Washington over Tenn (Tenn has not passing game)
Browns over Chargers (If Garret plays)

Cowboys over Rams  (They get to Cooper Rush)

I think the Bills offense is going to be having a lot of fun on Turkey day.

Colts are without Taylor. Does anyone think Ryan can win a game without their top player?

That rushing attack doesn't look good this year, team is probably better off with Nhimes

Steelers over Bills 34-17

This board would go nuclear if that happened.

I know this sounds weird, but maybe that actually helps them?  i think the Colts win this game.  Denver looks awful and I think the fans will start to turn on them.

They both stank

Not really just a week 5 upset but, me having to stock up on alcohol before the games can be upsetting depending on the bill. 

[Bills2022]

I like the Falcons (+9) to beat the Bucs and the Panthers (+6) to beat the Niners.  It looks like all the money is going the other way though.   

[Airseven]

It's hard to gauge "upsets" with so much parity (mediocrity) around the league. I'll go with Cards over Birds.

[billsbackto81]

I'm going Washington@home over Tenn. Wash has a good front 4 to maybe slow Henry and Tannehill can always 💩 the bed now and again.

Doesn't Seattle  +185 on moneyline mean that they are underdogs?  Similarly,  Seattle is being spotted 5.5 points by the bookies with that +5.5 spread. Again ,  this is an underdog assignment I believe.

[BigDingus]

I'm bad at predictions, but if I had to guess upsets, I'm going with -

 

Browns > Chargers

Jets > Dolphins

 

And if I have to pick a "big" upset, possibly Giants > Packers. Super unlikely (Packers -8.0 favorites), but they've looked pretty bad lately.

I like the Falcons one, definitely could happen. I went back & forth on that before just going with the Bucs since they're at home.

C'mon... I'm not going to knock anyone that predicts a Bills loss, but a Kenny Pickett-lead offense putting up 34 on the #1 ranked defense? At home?

 

You're a monster! 😆

Falcons over the Bucs

Jests over the Porpoise

[Billsflyer12]

Last 3 weeks all dogs have hit 65% against the spread.  Just saying.

A true upset would be the Steelers over the Bills which I can't see happening even if we sit a bunch of iffy guys to get them healthy for next week.

 

Won't be surprised if the Raiders give KC a game but not picking them to upset.
