#105

KC for Super Bowl Champions

#106

The Browns have really put together a masterpiece of losing today. Such art.

#107

Those 1:00 games... ouch.

#108

The Bills looked like a completely different team in the second half. They might actually win a game this year.

Versus the Fitzmagic Buccs?

#110

Cheese and crackers! Looks like I need to predict at least one tie next week.

#111

Tonight’s game pick:

Cowboys

Thank you for saying this Colin. My Bucs have responded to your taunt.

My beef is really with the city of Tampa for reasons that have nothing to do with football, but I’m kind of liking them beating the odds right now. Anybody who expects the Fitzmagic Experience to end well for their franchise, though, should read his Wikipedia page...

#114

That said I am absolutely picking them against Pittsburgh. Those guys are a mess.

The numbers suggest regression, but dear Lord the Bucs have such a cupcake schedule for the most part. They beat up on the Saints (who almost lost to the Browns today), and they beat Nick Foles and company (who have not looked great). Up next are the Steelers (who almost lost to the Browns and did lose today), the Bears (who?), the Falcons (that's a tough one, I think), the Browns (

), the Panthers (who have been solid despite injuries and a receiving corp full of people I've never heard of until today), and then the Redskins (

) and the Giants (who?).

So who knows. I'm still learning "fluky," but they have looked good, no doubt.

#116

The Bears should be a pretty good match-up. That defense is no joke.

I fell asleep before the second half of last week’s game, but still ...

#117

Meanwhile, Denver. Jesus.

#118

9/16/18 - "The Kickening"

#119

Monday Night Pick:
’da Bears

#120

I've studied this game all afternoon. My impression is that Chicago's defense puts a hurting on Russell, because that O-Line is oof. That said, Wilson is a creative quarterback. I say the score is 20 SEA - 21 CHI. Close, low(ish)-scoring game.

#121

#127

Two 11-4 weeks in a row...

This is definitely unsustainable. But I wonder if it’s possible that part of it is a lack of bias towards or against any rooting interest?

#128

Shouldn’t we all get an additional pick wrong for ties?

Wow Colin and Jay both picking Cleveland

#132

That roster is no joke. They have to win eventually and I think it’s a relatively even match-up but I give them the edge.

#133

I think Cleveland has outplayed their opponents both weeks so far, and found miraculous Cleveland ways to prevent themselves from winning.

Against the meh Jets on Thursday night (road teams are especially ass on Thursday quick turnarounds), I give them the edge. If they Browns it up that’d be fine. I’ve picked a week where the only AFC North team to lose is my own team, so being wrong would be super.

#134

When you lose 4 games in a row you're "Hungry for a win" and in the hunt.

When you lose for 600+ days, you're not even playing Duck Hunt

#135

Myles Garrett will make Sam Darnold wish he chose baseball

#136

I think the point should just go to whoever guessed the team that was leading at full time, and ignore the overtime period.

I remove ties because I don't think it's reasonable to ask anyone to predict a tie.

#138

I'd be very grateful if the Bucs can carry on their early nonsense for at least one more week. Every Pittsburgh loss makes life a little brighter.

#141

Cleveland gonna score 9 points.

#142

Probably.

The Jets might manage 7.

#143

That's about what I anticipate. 12-10 Cleveland or something.

#144

Carlos Hyde is still at the hospital awaiting the birth of his child after his lady being induced and being in labor. He expects to meet his team at the stadium in time for kickoff.

I think Tyrod is going to do a little more running tonight.

Put me down for Cleveland though. It would not surprise me at all to see Darnold throw another pick six either.

#145

Taking the Jets tonight. The Browns’ passing game should be easy for them to contain.

#146

ugh did I pick Cleveland? Maybe they'll put in Baker and become a completely new team.

#147

#148

Crowell has both TDs. To me, that's just sad.

#149

Maybe ...

Not over yet, but Baker made this a completely different franchise. Slow start, but this is probably the best game I’ve seen so far this season. And as I type, Darnold is just slinging it. Wow.
