Maybe I should not have bragged about how good I was doing the past few weeks. The pick ’em gods were not happy and decided to punish me. Only five correct picks. I am still in first place, but only two up on Adam and three on Mom. After that we have Jon, Sean (who was the smart guy with eight), and John. 

Underdog Special: Washington Football Team (+2.5)
I looked foolish with that pick last week. The Jaguars could not take advantage of coaching disarray in Houston. I think Washington will beat the Giants, The Football Team will probably rattle off a few wins with a new QB and people will think they are good or something. 
Underdog Record: 3-2

Steelers Pick: This is a tough one. I think the Steelers are the better team, but the Browns always seem to play better against Pittsburgh, while the Steelers manage to play down to their level. I am going to say that the Browns hand the Steelers their first loss…I hope I am wrong.
Steelers Pick Record: 4-0

Worst Benching: Even though he destroyed me, Ryan had to be irritated that he had Chase Claypool and those 42.60 points wasting away. Especially since he found out after the 1:00 games started that Michael Thomas was out. 
Worst Injury: The Mega Powers decided to start Jimmy Garoppolo instead of Tom Brady. He would have stayed undefeated had he just went with Brady. 1.70 points from your QB will not cut it in this league. 

First Round Regrets: I wonder if Jason is regretting drafting Lamar Jackson in the first round? 27.30 points is not first round worthy for a QB. 
Why Bother: Zach Ertz??? 1.60 points. Way to be one of those elite tight ends. 

Standings

Gideon moves into the top spot with his win and BatmanJason’s loss. Bill and I swapped spots. Seriously Bill, knock it off! If I am going to be bad, I want to lose and earn my shirt. Although, I may pull off a win this week against my wife, she has a few folks on bye…
