We got some really good games this weekend.

This week made things even more interesting across the sport. Much to look at, see, and react to.

Late Week 5 Recap

I never talked about week 5, so I want to get a few thoughts out, since week 5 was pretty interesting.

I missed this week entirely, but I got my picks out before the Saturday games!

Overall, it is a good weekend with lots of ranked matchups.

Good games, great finishes (depending on who you ask), and a lot more clarity.

Getting this done well after it was time, but before the first big game of the weekend ends.

This weekend was... surprising.
