College football is back. So Hilton called on me, the superstition concierge, to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We got you. Wanna make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky.

Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching band wake up call at 555 and 55 seconds. Hit it.

When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for this day.

Jägermeister knows that there's people who watch the game and people who know the game. Knowers know rivalries aren't heated. They're ice cold. They know rankings change. Traditions don't. And they know that when you drink Jägermeister on game day, you drink it ice cold. Otherwise, you just don't know the game.

So drink it ice cold or don't drink it at all. Jägermeister, damn that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mass Jägermeister US, Wide Plains, New York.

Brian Drake (2:21)

All across the Fantasy Universe, it's week five and we're here on a Monday morning for the Fantasy Points Podcast, Brian Drake, the guru, John Hansen. John, it was a great week of analysis for you in the Hansen's Hints article at fantasypoints.com. We had more injuries. We had some befuddling coaching decisions and some wild finishes across the NFL. But that's why we love it. That's why we come back week after week to this crazy game that is Fantasy Football. How are you, my friend?

John Hansen (2:47)

Doing all right. Yeah, it was a pretty good week overall. Right now, I'm sitting at eight and four on props, really had a couple of close calls, like I'm very close to completely dominating. But if I can get B. John Robinson to hit his over for Sunday Night Football, nine and four, I think that's like 70% and 70% last week. So I'll take it. I also have one up for Monday Night Football. So yeah, the article, pretty good. You know, I think overall, you know, we can't account for everything, but in terms of like mapping out what to expect in all the matchups with all the players, pretty darn good, which is nice because, you know, I spent a lot of time on it. So it can be very frustrating when I spend, you know, 36 hours on an article and none of it's accurate. You know what I mean? That's really bad, but this was pretty accurate. So I am in a pretty good mood. It was a wild week of the National Football League.

Brian Drake (3:46)

And spoiler alert, we record this on Sunday night, John's Dodgers are playing game one of the NLCS as we record.

John Hansen (3:54)

By the way, now that you mentioned it, how dare this Mizoravsky take over our guy's nickname? I was gonna text a Miz the other day. I'm like, how do you feel about, there's another The Miz now? This is ridiculous.

Brian Drake (4:06)

I know, we should have Miz on. We should get him on the serious show too.

John Hansen (4:10)

I still text him. He, we talk a couple times a month maybe during the season.

Brian Drake (4:16)

He's a good dude, good dude. Hall of Famer, The Miz.

Okay, let's kick things off. Unfortunately, we have to go across the pond for the 930 AM Eastern start between the Eagles and the Jaguars, John. And this was a game that a lot of folks were curious about. Will Shipley. I'm sure you and Mr. Brawley on the Discord live chat this morning had a lot of questions about.
