The start of the bye weeks was not kind to us. The biggest surprise of week 5 was Seattle beating the Giants. How many people got knocked out of their survival pools because Eli Manning might be worse than Cooper Manning at this point? Following on that point, most of us are picking Buffallo to be the upset special this week.

The featured games this week are Niners @ Lions, Texans @ Ravens, Cowboys @ Patriots, and Saints @ Buccaneers.
