Week 5 of the NFL season is in the books, and the picks from our gamblers are graded.

This week’s biggest winner was Matt Youmans at 4-1 ATS, narrowly edging out Chris Long on the profits due to the juice each one laid on their picks. We don’t often see a tie broken by the juice but it all adds up in the end. Emory Hunt and Cousin Sal also had a little bit of profit, so congratulations to all the profitable bettors this week.
