Another middling week for the gang has the 2020 Boomer & Gio Show NFL picks competition almost as tight as you can get it after four weeks; Jerry's 3-2 run last week, combined with 2-3 showings for B&G, get Mr. Recco back in it, but Gio still holds a slim one-game lead over the Boom-pa.
Oh, yeah, and Al owes us $20 so far for his "advice" (unless we're monetizing that parlay video…we are? Nevermind then, Al).
This week, C-Lo was in the Update chair for Jerry, who sent in his picks via proxy…and they barely got in, as Boomer & Gio ran a little long and poor Chris didn't really seem to know the proper etiquette for pick delivery. (insert audio drop of Jerry yelling "FRAUD!" here)
Alas, they're in and they're spectacular – and while three games are consensus, the other two could see either Boomer take the lead outright if all shakes out his way.
First, the current standings (last week in parenthesis):
Gio: 11-9 (2-3)
Boomer: 10-10 (2-3)
Jerry: 9-11 (3-2)
(Al is 7-13 overall and 0-4 in parlays after a 1-4 Week)
And now, Week 5 picks from B&G (and J via C), brought to you by Oddstrader.com, Solo Stove, and Prop Swap:
GAME 1: Raiders at Chiefs (-12)

Jerry's take: "Give me Patty Mahomes and the Chiefs to rough up Jon Gruden's club."
GAME 2: Vikings at Seahawks (-7)
Gio: Seahawks
Boomer: Seahawks
Jerry: Seahawks
Angry Vikings fan Gio's take: "You've got an MVP quarterback up against a total schlub, gimme the Seahawks."
GAME 3: Bengals at Ravens (-13)
Gio: Ravens
Boomer: Bengals
Jerry: Bengals
Jerry's take: "I like the way Joe Burrow has played, he has some moxie, so I will take Cincy to keep it close."
GAME 4: Cardinals at Jets (+7)

1 take: "I've taken the Jets a couple times and they always make me look like a moron, so I'm not going to make that mistake again."
GAME 5: Giants at Cowboys (-8.5)
Gio: Cowboys
Boomer: Cowboys
Jerry: Cowboys
Gio's take: "I have picked the Giants every single week this year, last week I was the only one to pick them and I won…this week I'm not picking the Giants."
