Very true Mr. DJ. 

Keeping a correct scorecard this afternoon while taking tokes was all the math that I wanted on my day off. 😄

... Most fun for sure! But I would argue that there have not been many "can't miss" QB's in recent years. Last year many questioned drafting any of the QB's and exactly why the Bears traded their #1 pick. But if you really need a QB, you have to take a shot and hope you get the next Mr Irrelevant/Stroud Sitten' Purdy and not the next Wilson/Pickett Sittin' on the Bench of the Bay. I doubt the Bengals, Chargers or Packers are disappointed in their 2020 QB selections. While the Bears, Jets and 49ers all rue their 2021 picks. You have a better handle on the Pats than I do and stud LT's are also hard to find so hope you get the WR or LT you want. 


Fwiw, here are the 1st Round QB's taken in the last 10 years and yes the chances of missing are much greater than hitting: 

The Good:
Jared Goff*
Patrick Mahomes
Josh Allen
Lamar Jackson
Joe Burrow
Jordan Love
CJ Stroud

The Bad:  
Geno Smith
Baker Mayfield
Daniel Jones
Kyler Murray

Tua Tagovailoa
Trevor Lawrence

The Ugly:

EJ Manuel
Johnny Manziel
Blake Bortles
Jameis Winston
Paxton Lynch
Carson Wentz
Mitch Trubisky
Josh Rosen
Sam Darnold
Dwayne Haskins
Mac Jones
Justin Fields
Trey Lance
Zach Wilson
Kenny Picket
Bryce Young

Good list, but I think a category is needed called jury still out.  Although this season was promising, and they show signs they will be good the jury is still out on Jordan Love and CJ Stroud.  17 games isn’t enough of a sample size.  You could probably add Trevor and Baker to the list as well.  Baker has won playoff games with multiple organizations and during his career he has had 4 or 5 OCs.  Trevor has supreme talent, but so far hasn’t fulfilled that yet, next year is critical.  1 omission I see is Justin Herbert, and probably fits the jury is still out, because the organization and inept coaching.

It was 60* again here today. I played golf the last three days. 

The warm sun has really felt good. 

I'm not surprised I messed up.

Man it was pretty out there.

... Good point and for sure I also think there are several Jury Still Out. Don't know how I missed Herbert as I thought I included him. But I put him in the good as his play was stellar in spite of a bad offense and worst defense. He reminds of Cutler in the fact that he put his team in position to win, but the defense collapsed in the 4th qt far too many times. Of course the Chargers would never do it but I would trade the #1 pick for their 5th pick in a trade of Fields for Herbert. I love everything about the guy.

Although I still have 23 hours left to make my picks, I figured I might as well make my picks.

 

KC  and the under.  Total score 23-17 so 40 points.

Interesting that last week the Over was king, but one week to go it's the Under. 

 

 

[touch]

Since I won't do it because MATH. Would someone please look at the 11 totals that are in and posted and tell us what the average is for those the took the Over, and do the same for the other side, the guys that took the Under. 

 

The average of both total point guesses. I think that stat will be good to see in relationship to the final score. 

 

 

Thanks

... Other than 1 person it is crazy interesting that everyone that picked the Chiefs took the over and everyone that took the 49ers took the under. So basically the 49ers either stop Mahomes (under) or they don't (over).

Not that it matters but are changes permitted right up to kickoff as they were during the regular season ?

 

Or was that changed for the playoffs and everybody is locked in at 7PM Friday ?

 

TIA
