I finished this week 10-6. San Fran can you stop giving me heart attacks on a weekly basis? That one killed me this time.

Man, I was terrible in picks league this week. Terrible!

This is the bit where you start asking Josh Brown 'Hey reckon you can still kick a ball?'

Ghost has been regressing for a few years. There were multiple seasons where he didn't miss this many kicks all year.

Speaking of kickers, we don't actually have one on the active roster right now, BB just sent Nick Folk back to the practice squad. To be continued.

As for the picks league, 12-4 not a bad start.

Poll is updated, every team that received at least 1 vote to win their division is on. You get 3 options, seeding for wild cards determined by votes in this scenario. Teams at the top received most votes to win their division (seattle had 6), bottom had the least (Falcons, Bucs had 1)

Raiders over Saints for two reasons -1, Michael Thomas is probably out, and if he isn't he won't be anywhere near 100%. I've had a high ankle sprain, it severely limits mobility and strength.
2-First game in allegiant stadium! How can I not pick them?

Although- between Payton, Brees, Kamara, and Thomas, the franchise's biggest four stars struggled big time. And the Saints still won against a very hyped-up Tampa Bay squad. Another thing I'd like to point out, Janoris Jenkins is an excellent pair for Lattimore. I like having a ballhawk on that other side. You've got your lockdown corner, and then when team's try to go to their #2 guy, there's a good chance it'll be a turnover.

Some surprising final scores this weekend with the Cards beating the Niners, the Nameless Maroon Guys taking out the Eagles, and the Jags topping the Colts.

Encouragingly for me, the Steelers seemed to contain Saquon Barkley pretty well, and had a pretty solid Week 1 showing against the Giants.

Next stop Week 2!

Yeah and it only took Dupree 5 seasons to git gud. Thank fuck last year wasn't a contract year fluke, now continue producing for the next 5 years because im still dead inside over Ryan Shazier.

Shazier retiring sucks, I was holding out hope that he could return. I'm honestly surprised, checking the stats, that his production wasn't higher. Anytime I watched him the dude seemed like he was flying around.

That's 3-4 linebackers for you. Numbers don't show how good they are. Shazier was a top 10 linebacker in the league on route to being the best until that horrible night.

And I'm with you, Kohr. I'm going to start picking Minnesota to lose all remaining games if they play so badly this week.

Bengals over Browns (Joe Burreaux was REALLY GOOD. Sucks that they got robbed.)
Giants over Bears (Trubisky, much?)
Rams over Eagles (I dunno. I just feel like the Rams strengths will shred the Eagles weaknesses.)
Cowboys over Falcons (Should be semi-obvious. Let's hope the coaching is better.)
Bucs over Panthers (Obvious.)
Niners over Jets (Obvious.)
Steelers over Broncos (Close, but the Steelers D will win the game for 'em.)
Titans over Jaguars (Obvious.)
Packers over Lions (The only person who Rodgers owns more than my Vikings is the Lions.)
Bills over Fins (Obvious.)
Vikings over Colts (It's our second game. Everyone should be more comfortable. Yannick not getting assigned to a top 5 OL. Not Aaron Rodgers. Skol.)
Cards over WFT (K1 should shred their defense.)
Ravens over Texans (Obvious.)
Chiefs over Chargers (Obvious. I hope that Herbert gets to start. Doubt it, though.)
Seahawks over Pats (Should be a good game.)
Saints over Raiders (Obvious.)

After a 9-7 outing in Week 1, Idz stares at the spreadsheet. He barely broke 50%. He picked plenty of upsets. And there were plenty of upsets. But he didn't pick the right upsets, and that made him upset. But the fact of the matter was that the clear favorite went down several times in Week 1. So Idz resolves himself to simply try harder to pick the correct upsets in Week 2. So that he wouldn't be upset again. Also, Idz repeated the word "upset" too many times and now the word no longer sounds like a word to him. How upsetting.

Bengals over Browns
Jags over Titans
Bucs over Panthers
Steelers over Broncos
Rams over Eagles
Niners over Jets
Bills over Dolphins
Vikings over Colts
Packers over Lions
Cowboys over Falcons
Giants over Bears
Cardinals over ~~Redskins~~They Who Shall Not Be Named
Chiefs over Chargers
Ravens over Texans
Seahawks over Patriots
Raiders over Saints

For what it's worth, I thought your narrative was both sympathetic and kinda funny at the same time.

Hey look, a fellow Vikings fan! Yeah, let's hope we beat the Colts. We've got to do well this year or else I fear we're headed for a rebuilding process.

Okay, time for my breakdown of Week One:

I did good in Week 1, going 11-5 with my picks, which is actually my lowest in Week One's History; I went 13-3 in the prior two seasons. I was honestly surprised about some games. For one, the Eagles blew it and shows that their injuries Wentz's problems will persist and well, the Eagles are fucked for this year. Rivers sent his team down the river, losing to the Jags surprised me too. I was also shocked by how Cowboys with their so-called high power offense lost to the Rams (it seems the team is better this year) and more shocking, how the 49ers lost though injuries in their receiver core plagued them. But overall, it was a good week and I'm happy.
