Pigskin Prophets: Week 5
We’ve reached the midseason mark, and for some teams, there is a sense of urgency to get things headed in the right direction. There are five weeks left in the regular season, but before you know it, the playoffs will be here. Now is the time to right the ship.

Shine so bright, I light the night
And it feels so right, ain’t nothing better
