NFL Pickem Week 5: Keep My Name Out of Your Mouth: The NFL returns Thursday night with an NFC West clash between the undermanned San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams, both 3-1. Sunday games begin at 9:30 a.m. in London, where the Minnesota Vikings face the Cleveland Browns at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Shouldn't that have a name like Aunty's Spotted Dick Stadium by now? In our pickem standings, Ic23b leads by 3 over Jagsnumberone while Bender wins the week with 74. Two players picked the Jags to beat the Niners and both of them are DTWD.

Upsets: Baltimore over Houston, Tampa Bay over Seattle. I almost picked Washington over the L.A. Chargers but picking two east coast teams to get upsets on the west coast is too many, especially after Jacksonville improbably did it in San Francisco last week. In a survivor game I am counting on Arizona and Detroit.

Here I go sinking like a stone. Reds eliminated from MLB playoffs, Burrow injured and the Bengals getting stomped. All seems right with the world.

Is Tampa Bay at Seattle the tastiest match-up this week? Give yourself an extra cookie tonight if you had that one on your preseason predictions.

Up early for church, slept badly, so really tired when I got home. Forgot about the overseas game. Started to make picks, but wanted to comment about Penn State first. Fell asleep while writing that. Picked all that had not yet started.
