@touch, @NJBigFish22... Since I got my picks in so early this week like a good boy, would it be possible to swap out one pick? If so, I'd like to drop the Kansas City/Charger game and add the Seattle at Arizona game, taking Seattle with the spread.

And the Seattle Seahawks would appreciate a Chicago victory.  That's the only way they can get into the playoffs over Green Bay.

 

 

... To be fair I am torn. Would love to help the ocean fowl with a Bears victory but I am also a converted Cardinals fan now as my Favorite Team Lite, so I can't pull against them. And just curious but how can you pull for uniforms that look like they came out of Linda Blairs mouth in the Exorcist?

...  I am sure you know there are plenty of Southside fans that are just like this guy. They think Ditka is the greatest coach ever because he won a SB and Lovie was the worst coach ever because he lost a SB. 🙄  But it has been quite awhile since the arrow was pointing up for Da Bearz going into a new season.

Jets / Pats game Sunday:  Right around freezing, from Sat. night to Sunday midnight 6-12" of wet snow. Game will get 2-4". Winds 10-20mph, gusts up to 35 mph. 

 

 

 

[Petethreeput]

Looking at the rain. Not over!  Under Steelers Raven game please.  Also the under on the other game I took that was OVER.

 

PP?  It’s just rain and not snow, but I would like to keep it on the Steeler game just bc.

 

sorry for the changes so late.  Forgot about the rain/snow over there.

[CHuntsman]

I’d like to change my MIA pick to HOU please.

[Triple Lindy]

Given the weather in Boston tomorrow, combined with 2 inept offenses and the toss up of Saints-Falcons, please change my Saints pick to Jets-Pats Under.

 

Thanks!

I think that's for the $39 million that Denver is going to pay him next season to play with a different team!

They are for me!  And I had all three out perform their pre-season expectations, and then the weather aided PP.  it’s a big week for this guy regardless of what else happens.

... Here is the big question. Since it was assumed that both the Panthers and Texans would struggle this year, how would they look if Stroud went to Charlotte and Young went to Houston?

I think the Charlotte GM might be pondering that question.

I haven’t seen either play much but just the snippets I see of commentary, seems like Young gets a lot of support from media, pros, and coaches from other teams even that he’s got “the goods” and could perform at a very high level with a stronger supporting cast. 
 

I assume CJ couldn’t do a heck of a lot better but I don’t know Carolina that well. I assume their line stinks and no QB can do much with that. 
 

But just on pure size, all other things equal, I’d have picked CJ over Young. It seems they thought young was “smarter” and more poised and that, pushed them over the edge for the pick

... I am always a little shocked at how much weight some GM's put into winning. Give me a QB keeping a bad team in the game over a QB managing a good team and facing very little adversity. I think QB is a little like golf, it's easy when everything is going your way but crazy difficult when struggling.

... Well I hate to leave you on an island alone and since +20 or -10 won't make much difference at this point for my position, as Viper said to Maverick "I'll be your wingman anytime". 😉

Da Bearz +3 PP

 

I just needed to create some fuel for the board. 

Purely for entertainment only LOL

[touch]

So it's 4th and 1 in the Red Zone late in an important game with playoff implications against a division opponent, and you call a pass play to a 3rd string running back? 

How'd that call work out for you Indianapolis? 😆 

 

Our Leader (NCL), doc, CH, and myself thank you for that blunder # 31.
