Jersey Jerry rides winless Chargers +4.5 on Advisors Week 9

The Week 9 episode is called "Jersey Jerry Is Switching Sides," and his lock of the week shows it. He is backing the one team nobody wants to touch.

.@JerryTheKid21’s Mortal @DKSports #DKPartner

The Chargers are 0-7 and 0-6-1 against the spread, so they have not covered once all season. They host Houston at SoFi this afternoon at 4:05 ET, and the Texans are favored by 4.5 at most books. Jerry is betting that a team that has failed to cover every week finally does it with his Mortal on the line. It's either a great contrarian spot or a very Jersey Jerry way to lose a lock. Stu Feiner went even bigger in the Jets-Chiefs segment.

Chiefs vs Jets “We should be on [the Jets] here cause they’ll beat the Chiefs OUTRIGHT.” - Stu Feiner

That's classic Stu: he doesn't just take the points, he says the underdog wins. Going to Arrowhead and calling for the Jets to win straight up is a take you either cash and brag about for weeks or never hear about again. Big Cat and Stu also put out Mortal clips of their own, so the whole desk has a lock riding on today's slate. The fight on the desk came in the Commanders-Rams segment.

Commanders vs Rams “The Commanders are just not good at all. They beat up on a bad team last week.” - Jersey Jerry

Jerry likes the Rams laying 5.5 and says the Commanders only looked good because they beat up on a bad team last week. Not everyone at the desk agreed, and some of the other hosts went the other way and took Washington +5.5. The show's on-screen graphic backs Jerry: McVay is 18-2 straight up and 14-6 against the spread in his last 20 games as a road favorite.

Arguing over picks is the whole point of the show, but some fans don't see it that way. After one fan went after one of the guys for disagreeing with a pick, Big Cat answered him directly.

@Return_Of_RB Because he disagreed with a pick? Guys can’t disagree with picks now?

He's right. Advisors only works because the guys disagree. Four people nodding along to the same card would make for a pretty boring show. The early games will settle the Jets-Chiefs argument, and Jerry's Chargers lock kicks off at 4:05 ET. If a team that hasn't covered all year finally gets there, Jerry gets to say "switching sides" was a genius move. If not, the Chargers are 0-7-1 against the spread and Jerry wears it.
