NFL Week 5 Preview
Back after a week off from Previews last week due to the NBA Fantasy Draft. It’s unbelievable that there are still have 3 undefeated teams and 3 winless teams.
Week 3 Game Lines
Sporty Strauss (1) [4-0] -22 against The BamOs (6) [2-2]
Las Cabras (2) [4-0] -11 against Win’s Up Doc (9) [2-2]
Shepherd Goods Choppers (3) [4-0] -2 against Ornery Otters (8) [1-3]
$traight Cash Homie (4) [3-1] -9 against Wait ’Til Next Year (9) [2-2]
Cooper Troopers (5) [-6] -6 against DTC Porkchop Express (10) [0-4]
The Pullies (11) [0-4] +7 against MN Moose Knuckles (12) [0-4]
Just take a moment to admire that bottom matchup. The toilet of the league, the two worst teams, intends to flush someone out of contention for the rest of the season. 0-5 is almost impossible to come back from, and it’s time for someone to start selling after this one.

Choppers: Advantage at 5/10 positions
Ornery Otters: Advantage at 5/10 positions
This is a practical matchup of the week. It' has the tightest line (both before the week and currently). It pits diametrically opposed roster builds against each other, each team with an advantage at 5 positions. And it includes Jordan, who will either be 5-0 or have a date with a shrink on Monday.
The stakes for the league are clear: Korey needs this win immeasurably to get his season back on track. 2-3 is a totally fine record right now. 1-4 is hard to come back from. And Jordan is fighting for a BYE at this point against two teams that are also undefeated.
Beyond that, the primetime games are fun. Stafford on TNF. Mahomes and Beasley on SNF. Taylor on MNF. This should be a tight game that goes down to the wire.
