Hmmmm...maybe you should reconsider?

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

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.

Ah gotcha - I knew he played for Univ. of Houston just didn't know he was projected to go first next year.

Man, that Aaron Rodgers contract keeps getting better and better. $100 million in guaranteed money and he’s out in the first half of Week 1.

#62

I soooo wanted to pick the bucs but really didn’t think I could. Great result!

Well, I didn't pick them either unfortunately. That'll teach me not to pick my own damn team.

#64

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

Because it hurts so good

Haha DH, so true!

Holy moly is Detroit going to play this game or not??

Is Sam Darnold elite?

lol - I'm ready for the next game. Get me out of this torture!

#70

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

#71

Tonight I realized that Matt Cassel is still in the NFL.

With that realization came the realization that I'm surprised about a guy who I thought was washed up, and who was drafted to be Tom Brady's backup in the middle of Brady's career. Meanwhile, Brady himself is the reigning MVP and still regarded as one of the very best in the league.

Whoa guys u no w8 for injury list day? What if Rodgers isn't playing, are you still going with Green Bay (maybe the answer is yes)?

#81

I'm going with Minnesota even if Rodgers does play. Boy's gonna get popped a second time.

#82

Not a bad start to the season. I’m going to go with Minnesota too vs the Packers. The Vikings are returning a strong roster and the Packers basically want Rodgers to do everything or they’d have used some of that contract money on supporting players.

#83

How can juliets and I have the same result when we were only one pick different? I’m pretty sure one of our counts is wrong. I’ll check.

#84

I assume we're allowed to update our picks

#85

Check again, but I think I got 11 and Juliets 10. I missed the redskins, jets, bucs and dolphins. She also missed Kansas City. (Sorry juliets - I didn’t know which of us it was that was wrong)

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.

#87

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

#88

Any picks can be changed before kickoff. A separate, new post is required though.

Thanks for checking Golden, I’ll verify.

#89

Baltimore @ Cincinnati

#90

Tonight’s game:

Baltimore

I figured it out. You got Miami wrong, and juliets got Kansas City wrong. You differed by two picks, but both finished 11-4.

#95

Sharps were pounding Cincinnati early on. After Baltimore's cupcake match up against the Bills, that doesn't surprise me. I expect this to be another ugly defensively focused grind, as the under has hit in the past three times these teams met up in Cincinnati. I predict we see a bunch of field goals in this one. Final score: BAL 16 - 20 CIN

#96

I can read these Bengals. I might pick a loss at Carolina next week.

#97

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

Buffalo over LAC

#98

For Jay’s convenience

Thank you JJJ, I appreciate your looking into it.

LSU wow!

I'll be back with my picks after the Alabama game.
