Los Angelas Rams

After taking a few shots for last week's Locks of the Week on The Drive with Charlie & Dan, 'Intern Mike' Giarraputo took no time to point out his winning record on 'Hot Picks.'

As the NFL season rolls into Week 6, 'Intern Mike,' Giarraputo from 104.5 The Team's 'The Drive with Charlie & Dan,' comes into the Sunday slate with his chest puffed out and an impressive 15-9-1 record.

After spending extra time this week in his NFL lab in Loudonville, 'Intern Mike' is putting that winning record on the line with this week's 'Hot Picks,' including doubling-down against Jalen Hurts. Here is 'Intern Mike' Giarraputo and his NFL 'Hot Picks' for Week 5:

The NFL kicks off with a strong match-up this season with the reigning Super Champion Los Angelas Rams taking on the overwhelming favorite to win this year's Lombardi Trophy, the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback Josh Allen is ready to lead the Bills Mafia to their first Super Bowl title next February, especially with, fresh off of his Super Bowl run with the Rams, Von Miller now anchoring the Bills already tough defense. The Rams are still stacked with stars like quarterback Matthew Stafford, defensive end Aaron Donald and wide receiver Cooper Kupp, so the match-up should be nothing short of terrific. However, the Rams have something extra on their side that may scare you from putting your coins on Buffalo...

If you are a Buffalo Bills fan, all you have to do is look to the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson and you may feel better about this story. However, if you are the team that just invested $120 million in a player that is being accused in court of distributing "sexually explicit photos," well then this may be a bit tougher to digest, especially if you expected this player to be the "defensive face" of the franchise.

There are some very good memories of Odell Beckham, Jr. in a New York Giants uniform and some not so good ones, as well. The blazing speed and one handed grabs were often offset by fights on the sidelines with kicking nets or party boat pictures days before a crucial playoff match-up against the Green Bay Packers. Going on national television and taking shots at two time Super Bowl MVP quarterback, Eli Manning ,seemed to be the plane ticket out of town. Beckham, Jr. had worn out his welcome with the fans in New York but it seems maybe not the players.

Of the contestants involved in the six games this weekend, in addition to the two top teams that earned byes, none of the 14 NFL playoff participants are the New York Giants. No surprise at this point to Big Blue fans, many who went into the season with so much hope only to have it evaporate week by week. The root of the problem general manager Dave Gettleman and his young unproven Coach Joe Judge were sent packing a few days ago. However, some former Giants players are still enjoying the excitement of the postseason tournament.
