Welcome back to another episode of Let Me Liv with your favorite sports analyst, Liv Moods! Liv came through with the hottest takes on NFL Week 5, covering everything from the Denver Broncos’ breakthrough win streak to the latest drama with the New York Jets. Here’s a breakdown of the biggest moments from this week’s show.

Broncos Snap Losing Streak Against the Raiders

Liv kicked things off by celebrating her beloved Denver Broncos, who are finally turning things around. After eight straight losses to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Broncos managed to break the streak and are now riding a three-game win streak. It’s a big deal for a team that started the season 0-2 with a rookie quarterback under the guidance of head coach Sean Payton, one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL.

“Are the Broncos back?” Liv asked, sharing that she attended the game herself and could feel the energy shifting. She’s cautiously optimistic but acknowledged there are still questions surrounding the Broncos’ season and how far they can go.

Jets Fire Head Coach Robert Salah – But Is Aaron Rodgers to Blame?

In a surprising move, the New York Jets announced the firing of head coach Robert Salah after a rough 2-3 start to the season. But according to Liv, maybe Aaron Rodgers deserves more of the blame. Liv didn’t hold back on her feelings about Rodgers, calling him out for a lack of accountability and questioning if the 40-year-old quarterback still has what it takes to lead a team.

“When things go south, it’s always someone else’s fault with Aaron Rodgers,” she said. “He’s had three interceptions last game, and yet it’s Salah who gets the boot.”

Liv reminded viewers that the Jets had the same record at this point last season with Zach Wilson as their starting QB, and they managed the same 93 points scored over five games. So is Rodgers really an upgrade? Liv thinks not. She also speculated that the Jets may be interested in bringing in wide receiver Davante Adams to reunite with Rodgers, but she questioned if that would be enough to turn things around.

The Chiefs and Vikings Stand Undefeated – But Are the Refs Helping?

The Kansas City Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings are both off to perfect 5-0 starts, but Liv had some words about the Chiefs’ success. In her signature no-holds-barred style, she claimed that the Chiefs might not be undefeated if it weren’t for a little help from the refs.

“If you’ve been watching Chiefs games, you know what I’m talking about,” Liv said. “It seems like every questionable call goes their way. Patrick Mahomes has had 17 interceptions called back for defensive penalties since 2018 – that’s insane!”

While Liv acknowledged that Mahomes is one of the best quarterbacks in the game, she insisted that the Chiefs get a little extra boost from the refs every week. Whether or not you agree, there’s no denying that the Chiefs are dominating the AFC, but it remains to be seen if they can keep it up without that extra help.

Rookie Quarterbacks are Taking Over

Liv also highlighted the impressive performances of several rookie quarterbacks this season, from Caleb Williams to Bo Nix. She noted how the new generation of young, athletic QBs is making waves and bringing a fresh energy to the league, while older veterans like Aaron Rodgers might be feeling the heat.

“The league is getting younger, faster, and more physical,” Liv said. “And that’s bad news for guys like Rodgers, who are struggling to keep up.”

She also shouted out the Washington Commanders, who are currently leading their division with a 4-1 record. Their young QB Jaden Daniels has been showing off his mobility and playmaking skills, giving fans a lot to be excited about. Liv cautioned, however, that some of these mobile quarterbacks need to be careful, as the risk of injury is high. Just look at Josh Allen, who recently took a hard hit that looked like a concussion, only to pop right back into the game.

Betting Tips: Teams to Watch Against the Spread

For all the sports betting fans out there, Liv shared some valuable insight into which teams are doing well against the spread. The Minnesota Vikings, for example, have covered the spread in all five of their wins, making them a strong pick for bettors. The Chiefs, Broncos, and Commanders are also performing well against the spread, each with a 4-1 record.

Liv’s advice? Look beyond just wins and losses. “Good teams win, but great teams cover,” she reminded her viewers, highlighting that some teams might win games but fail to cover the spread, which can be a crucial difference for bettors.

Liv’s Hot Take: The Chiefs Wouldn’t Be 5-0 Without the Refs

To wrap things up, Liv delivered her spicy hot take of the day, declaring that the Kansas City Chiefs wouldn’t be undefeated without the refs’ help. While she praised Patrick Mahomes as a top-tier quarterback, she argued that the Chiefs get a suspiciously high number of favorable calls. She backed this up with some stats, noting Mahomes’ history of interceptions being reversed due to penalties.

So if you’re a fan of any other team, Liv says to beware. Facing the Chiefs isn’t just a game against the reigning champs – it’s also a battle against the refs, too.

Wrap-Up: Who’s Your Super Bowl Pick?

As always, Liv wrapped up the show by asking her viewers to weigh in. With so much of the season left, who do you think has the best shot at the Super Bowl? Liv is putting her early money on the Baltimore Ravens, but she also hinted at a few sleeper teams, like the Lions and Texans, who are surprising everyone with their strong play.
