So last week, I got some of my picks right, but some predictions wrong. For instance, I predicted that the Cardinals would win 35-10, but the actual score was 30-10 Cardinals over the Jets. I was so close on that prediction! I predicted that the Cowboys would win over the Giants 34-10, but the actual score was really close. The score was 37-34 Cowboys over the Giants. I predicted that the Seahawks would win over the Vikings 38-24, but the actual score was 27-26 as an ugly win for the Seahawks. The Vikings should have kicked the field goal to be up by 8 points, but they just let Seattle score a game winning touchdown and the refs blew the call on whether it should have been an incomplete pass not a fumble. Otherwise, the game clock would have been putting back up to at least 3 or 5 seconds. Yes, the Vikings should have won that game. I predicted that the Saints would win over the Chargers 24-17, but the actual score was 30-27 Saints over the Chargers. That game went to overtime and the Saints won on the fourth down stand on defense. I predicted that the Rams would win 32-10 over the Football team, but the actual score was 30-10. I was so close on that prediction as well! I predicted that the 49ers would win 30-22 over the Dolphins, but the actual score was 43-17 Dolphins over the 49ers as they got blown out at home. The 49ers do not look good this year. So, I got 5 out of 6 picks correct!!
Let’s move on to week 6, shall we?! The first game I will predict is the Packers @Buccaneers game. The Packers are coming off the bye week and the Bucs are coming off with the loss to the Bears after the quarterback Tom Brady forgot that it was 4th down. I think the Buccaneers can actually beat the Packers to snap their 4-game winning streak 27-24 win over the Packers. The next game I will predict is the Rams @49ers game. The 49ers are 0-3 at their stadium which is why I think the Rams will win over the 49ers 40-31 as the Rams offense will score a lot of points in that game. The next game I will predict is the Chiefs @Bills game. This game is an extra Monday night football before the Cardinals @Cowboys game which I will get to it next, but first I will predict the first game on Monday. I predict that the Bills will win over the Chiefs in a shootout 35-28. The last game I will predict is the Cardinals @Cowboys game. The Cardinals do not have defensive end Chandler Jones as he will be out for the season and the Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will not be playing on Monday night because of his broken leg which was so crucial to see last week. I think this game will be kind of in the shootout but not too much as the Cardinals will win 42-24 over the Cowboys. The Cardinals will be scoring a lot of points as the defense may be a concern for them and they will do just enough to beat the Cowboys.
So, what do you guys think about these predictions?!

Let's discuss; is DC comics upcoming Future State story arc the comic publisher's foray into putting a diversity spin on their legacy characters?; it seems that corporations still don't understand how urban culture works, hence the change of sneakers worn by Miles Morales in the upcoming eponymously titled video game is causing a stir on the internets;

Here’s what we reviewed in comics this week that you might want to check out:
Adventureman #4
The story hop skips to plot points in a way and we are treated to several miniatures arcs within the issue that all contribute to the overarching narrative about the mystery of Adventureman and Claire’s connection to the stories. For all of the fun grounded moments in the “real” world, there are just as many unbound, gleeful scenes in the “storied” world where magic and science are equally potent and the forces of good and evil are constantly clashing, that culminates in a proper collision.
Cable #5
In the end, Cable #5 accomplishes its task of summoning the young warrior to take his place within the circle of swordsmen and badass women. Phil Noto’s panels are my favorite aspect of this book, in particular the “blurry” mind reading page. X of Swords is coming along nicely and this issue of Cable was a cool, quick read if you enjoy yourself a good Summers family tale.
Captain Marvel #22
This issue focuses on Carol’s unrelenting task of making sense of the situation she’s been thrown into. Mind and body seemingly ripped to shreds and put back together in a God forsaken time. Off the rip, she let’s Fantomex 5 eat a face full of photonic energy blast before someone recognizes her and brings her in to get her bearings straight. War Machine and Captain Marvel were on a hybrid date mission with Spider-Woman and Hazmat when they were attacked by these tarry black tendrils and she woke up in 2052.
Commanders in Crisis #1
Tinto’s character design is absolutely impeccable, and the full spread that shows the Originator, Sawbones, Prizefighter, and Seer in action is truly a wondrous thing to behold. And part of Commanders in Crisis‘ charm is the fact that it has all of the personality of superheroes without any preconceived notions of these characters. We don’t have history, we only have what Orlando and Tinto demonstrate to us, and it’s kind of a cool world. It’s bright and colorful, and optimistic to the point of being almost saccharine, almost being the operative word here. It’s a little over the top, but that’s less a dig and more just a fact
New Mutants #13
New Mutants #13 is the kind comic that makes you go “SHEEEESH” when you turn the last page. While we’ve been seeing the likes of Wolverine and Storm, hardened individuals, relish in the opportunity to fight for the sake of their kind, this issue lays bare the other side of the tournament participant. The not so gung ho fighter who knows their entry into this sword fight will likely end in dismemberment…or worse.
Seven Secrets #3
Casper is such a fun character, both as a not-quite-omniscient narrator and participant in the hidden society built on a bedrock of ominous secrets that could potentially end the world, and Seven Secrets #3 carries for the same energy as its direct predecessor, and the bulk of the issue continues to focus on his backstory in particular while also alluding to some of the world building that Taylor has meticulously crafted.
