After a brief bump in the road, the Scumbag System ™ is back on track. Last week’s 2-1 record — only the Titans’ sudden competence could slow it down — pushed the Rhode Island Scumbag to 8-4-1 through four weeks.

It was a vital bounceback for our handicapper. Now he’s putting his system up against Week 5.
