Now, just 1 for the Bills ...

I'd been viewing them as the worst team in the league, but they might have stiff competition from Arizona now.

They’re quite bad, but ARI apparently didn’t cross the 50-yard line last week until there were 5 minutes left in the game. On a roster with Bradford, David Johnson, and Larry Legend? I’m not one to throw stones, but that feels like it’s worse. At least with us you can look at the roster and instantly understand.

Awesome.

Now, just 1 for the Bills ...

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.

Myles Garrett will make Sam Darnold wish he chose baseball

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.

THURSDAY
Cleveland

SUNDAY
New Orleans
Kansas City
Miami
Minnesota
Philadelphia
Green Bay
Cincinnati
Jacksonville
Denver
New York Giants
Los Angeles Rams
Chicago
Dallas
New England

MONDAY
Tampa Bay

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 ...

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

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...

Versus the Fitzmagic Buccs?

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

For Jay’s convenience

Carolina
Buffalo
Minnesota
Houston
New Orleans
NY Jets
Kansas City
Philadelphia
Indianapolis
LA Rams
San Francisco
Oakland
Jacksonville
NY Giants
Chicago

I hate myself for feeling even slightly optimistic about the Bills, but, ... fuck it.

Buffalo over LAC

Although considering how much luck I had last week rooting for things, maybe I should become the world’s biggest Patriots fan.

Yeah, what they said — the Vikings look like an all-around more solid team, one of the most complete in the league. I’m hoping this is the year they can put it all together personally.

Cincinnati
Carolina
LA Chargers
Minnesota
Houston
New Orleans
NY Jets
Kansas City
Philadelphia
Indianapolis
LA Rams
San Francisco
Oakland
Jacksonville
NY Giants
Chicago

Holy hell, the Jets are outperforming my expectations. I better pick up their defense in fantasy.

Is Sam Darnold elite?

My fantasy team got pretty blown out too. Why did I look forward to football coming back?

I missed that game - what did he do?

He’s a college prospect a lot of people project to go no. 1 in the 2019 Draft. Buffalo made it loud and clear this afternoon that they’re in the running for that prize.

Hmmmm...maybe you should reconsider?

I’ve seen Fitzmagic before. These are dark arts, not light ones, and it won’t end well!

I’m kinda rooting for them to be 0-16 again.

Even for a Patriots fan, that’s cruel.

I know I picked the Steelers and all, but boy, I would love to see the Browns win this weekend.

They may as well just call it the National Vexillography League if they’re going to throw 20 flags a half.

Unless Fitzmagic starts leading the Buccs to another Super Bowl, I don't think I'll pick them a single week.

Is the correct answer Nathan Peterman?
