NFL Pickem Week 5: Injuries A-Plenty Edition: The NFL undertakes its fifth week tonight as the outgunned Buccaneers of Tampa travel to face the Cowboys of Dallas. Ic23b leads by four over Rumple atop the pickem standings but I won the week with 79, which ain't nothing. Make your picks, kids.
If it were a regular Sunday match-up I don't know that you're going to find a tastier week to pick Dallas in a Survivor League.
But, woof, the Thursday games are about as volatile as they come.

The Margin of Victory field is making me enter values even when I didn't pick a winner. Ugh.

Browns/Jets is the mystery of the week. Could both of these teams actually be good?

I want to make this my Survivor pick but I fear the Cowboys' ability to disappoint.
