Welcome to Week 5 of the NFL season, which is always my favorite week because it’s when I finally come to grips with the fact that my Fantasy team sucks. I knew I shouldn’t have taken Christian McCaffrey with the first overall pick.
By the way, if anyone in my league is reading, McCaffrey is officially on the trade block and I will take anything for him. I’m thinking Jayden Daniels for McCaffrey straight up. Everyone wins.
The fifth week of the NFL season also means that we’ll be getting our first game of the year in London, and as we all know, no one knows more about picking London games than me. Since that’s the case, we should obviously start this week’s picks off with the game in London, so Tally-Ho, let’s get to the picks.
NFL Week 5 picks
Minnesota (4-0) vs. N.Y. Jets (2-2) in London
9:30 a.m. ET (NFL Network)
The first London game of the season is finally here and it will be kicking off at 9:30 a.m. ET, which is 6:30 a.m. for those of you on the west coast. I only mention that because I lived in California for six years and nothing made me more miserable than waking up for a London game. It got so bad that I had to move and I’m now in the Central time zone, which is easily my second favorite time zone.
By the way, our very own Adam Aizer actually conducted a poll asking which time zone was the best for watching sports, and somehow, the Pacific time zone won.
As someone who has lived in three of those four time zones for at least six years each (Eastern, Central, Pacific), I can tell you based on the process of elimination that the Mountain time zone is the correct answer, so congratulations to the 15% of people who got that right. Maybe the NFL needs to think about moving more teams to Mountain time.
Anyway, this game is being played in London, so I’m going to stop babbling on about time zones that aren’t anywhere near London.
I’m actually excited to watch…
