Jersey Jerry hosts Barstool Sports Advisors after 5-0 run

TLDR: Jersey Jerry went 5-0 on his easy picks and earned 1 week in the Barstool Sports Advisors host chair, then took the Texans -7.5 while Big Cat and Stu Feiner both took the Titans.

The reward for a perfect week on the Advisors desk is apparently the job nobody else wants: running the show. The account announced it Thursday like breaking news.

🚨 Major Show Change 🚨 Mr. 5-0 is in the host chair. (For one week)

Note the fine print: one week. Nobody was pretending this was a permanent promotion. Before the episode even dropped, the reviews were in, and they split the way you'd guess. Big Cat called it great. Jerry, the guy actually doing the hosting, called it bad.

Jersey Jerry is 5-0 in his easy picks so he got to host Barstool Sports Advisors this week “It was great” - @BarstoolBigCat “It was bad” - @Jerrythekid21 @LucyNicotine

The episode went up Friday night, and Jerry didn't spend long being polite with the power. He got the host chair and almost right away turned on Hank.

The open went all in on the switch. Big Cat came out in costume, beanie, sunglasses and a fake gray beard, with his own name in the graphic underneath, playing Jerry while Jerry played Big Cat. Pure bit, and the desk ate it up.

Jerry and Big Cat switch roles… Show already off to a hot start!

Then the picks, which is where it got interesting. Houston and Tennessee are both 0-4, and Houston is a 7.5-point road favorite in Tennessee. Jerry had ridden the Titans last week, so he was going against the team that got him there.

“I'm flipping the script this week. Texans... Don't give up on the Texans yet. The defense is gonna come to play.” – Jersey Jerry

Big Cat's Mortal went the other direction from the chalk. He loves a home divisional dog, and he took the Chargers getting 3.5 as his lock of the week.

Big Cat loves himself a home divisional DOG for his 'Mortal' Chargers (+3.5) @DKSports #DKPartner

By Sunday morning the show was cutting the episode into game-day clips, and Stu Feiner's Mortal turned into a love letter. He took the Patriots and dedicated it to Hank Lockwood with the kind of energy only Stu brings to a regular-season NFL game.

The best moment of the week came back around to the winless bowl. Big Cat said out loud that he thinks Cam Ward is terrible, then put Titans +7.5 on the board anyway. Stu took Tennessee too. That left the host by himself on Houston.

Titans vs Texans “I think Cam Ward is terrible.” - Big Cat

And that's honestly a defensible Big Cat move. 7.5 points is a lot to lay with a team that hasn't won a game either. Now it's on the field. If Houston covers Sunday afternoon, Mr. 5-0 hands the chair back looking like a genius. If the Titans keep it close behind the quarterback Big Cat just trashed, Jerry's 1 week as host ends with the regulars proven right on his own show.
