even if you're like, come on, Evan, we all know, but it kind of got buried based on the

dart excitement and the Yankee playoff run. And that is the fact that an incredible talent like Malik Neighbors is out for the season. And I don't feel like it's fully been digested. No. That when the Giants attempt to beat the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, their number one wide receiver is Darius Slayton. And I don't mean to knock Darius Slayton and Wondall Robinson. I mean,

0:24.3

Darius Slayton. And I don't mean to knock Darius Slayton and Wondall Robinson.

0:24.1

I mean, Darius Slaten is averaging 15 yards of reception in his career, which is elite.

0:28.8

The problem is he just doesn't have multiple 10 reception games.

0:33.6

He's not a number one receiver.

0:35.1

Yes.

0:35.4

I mean, he's only a number one receiver in a situation like this.

0:38.0

So I think that on Sunday, it is going to start to really sink in that Malik Neighbors is not walking through that door.

Let's make our NFL picks as long as well as our division series picks, specifically the Yankee Blue Jay series. And I do remind you that our picks are presented by the Cash app. Last night, Sean picked the Niners. He got to win. The rest of us picked the Rams. He got a loss. Here are our standings going into week five. Tiki, first place, 15 and 8. Me and, am I looking at the right numbers? Hold on a second. Yeah, 15 and 8. I am 12, 10, and 1. Lugie is 10 and 13, and Sean.

1:17.4

Coming back, Sean. He's making a comeback. We each make three picks, the two locals, and a national game. Let us kick it off with last place's very own, Sean Morage.

1:44.3

All right, I made the mistake last week of losing with a big number being laid with the Buffalo Bills. So fool me again. I'm laying a big number with my non-local game. I'm taking the Lions on the road in Cincinnati laying 10 and a half. I mean, what exactly have the Bengals done here with Browning to inspire anybody that they're scoring points at all.

2:00.5

And the Lions just feel like this is the kind of offense. It's going to get up and move the ball all over that crappy bangle defense. So how big a blowout does it get? I don't know. But I'm going to be comfortable here in laying the 10 and a half, even if it's like a 14 point wins, something like that. That's game number one. Game number two, I'll go to the Jets and Cowboys.

2:04.2

What the hell is going on with this betting line at one and a half?

2:25.2

Like, like that. That's game number one. Game number two, I'll go to the Jets and Cowboys. What the hell is going on with this betting line at one and a half? It's so true. I mean, they're begging us to do it, right? They're begging us to take the Dallas Cowboys, who just went up and down the field with the Green Bay Packers and we thought they were going to lose the game. Now, we saw the injuries here, a couple offensive linemen down, no CD lamb. I don't care. The Jets stink. They stink.

2:29.5

Now, well, they move the ball in the stinky cowboy defense, that's for sure. But how are you stopping Dak Prescott in this game? So it's basically a pick-up at this point. I'll take the Cowboys laying a point in a half. I just, I cannot get over picking the Jets in this guy. I can't do it. Now, as far as the Giants and Saints go, man, it's kind of crazy. We've had such subdued Jackson Dart fever because of the Yankees this week that you almost forget, wow, a rookie quarterback started his debut and they beat him. And oh, yeah, the pass rush is cooking. The Giants got rolling with that pass rush, and the Saints are down a couple starting offensive linemen in this game. But why is this spread so freaking low? Why is it flipped? And why are the Giants getting a point in a half? I don't know what end is up in the gambling world. But I'm getting full. I'm not going to get full with the Jets. Giants got to prove it to me one more week. I'm taking the Saints. Wow. I'm taking the Saints. Laying a point in a half. Wow. I didn't see that one. Negativity worked for the Yankees? He's going to try it again for the Giants. Wow. Well, I'll go second then. Let me start off with the national game I'm taking. Jaden Daniels has been cleared to return, and so that's a big help for the Washington commanders. Huge. But how healthy is Jaden Daniels? Don't know. He's playing, but he is coming off a knee injury that's eliminated him for the last two weeks. So I'm skeptical, A, about the health of Jaden Daniels.

3:44.2

Number two, the chargers are pissed.

3:47.1

The chargers are embarrassed.

3:49.6

And I expect the Los Angeles Chargers of San Diego to bounce back in a major, major way.

3:56.2

So the combo of good team coming off embarrassing loss angrily

4:02.3

versus team whose quarterback is back.
