I did the best last week by picking nine correctly. Sean and Adam were close behind at eight. I moved into first place with Sean in second (we both have 15, but I must have the tie-breakers). After that we have Adam, Jon, Mom, Jason, Gideon, James, Lindsey, and Scott. I am a little nervous with my picks this week since I basically went all favorites. I hate the third week, this is the week where we find out if teams are for real or not. Or maybe I just made that up…
Underdog Special: Green Bay Packers (+3.5)
I was right about the Titans and brought myself back to even. This week I am taking the Packers (I am taking the +3.5 and would consider taking them for the outright win). They were awful in week one, but looked good last week. I think this is the test for both teams to determine if they are for real or not.
Underdog Record: 1-1 ($0.00)
Steelers Pick: I was wrong last week about the Raiders. This week they have the Bengals and I think they should win by about a touchdown. I do not think it will be easy though. The Bengals are on the cusp of being good again (like a year or two away).
Steelers Pick Record: 1-1
STANDINGS
- Bishop Sycamore (Adam) 2-0–Uggh, he is always one of the best teams…probably because he spends like 1200 hours each week researching. I spend five minutes, it shows.
- classylikeFoxNews (Jason) 2-0–If Aaron Jones has a normal week, Jason loses to Scott.
- LIME TIME! LIME TIME!! (Dustin) 2-0–Even without Derrick Henry’s 52.70 points, Dustin still crushes me.
- My Knees are Solar-powered (Bill) 2-0–Bill already has more wins than last year!
- WranglerJeanShorts (Seth) 2-0–I figured Seth was done for doing into the Green Bay game, but Aaron Rodgers has a monster game and helps keep Seth undefeated.
- The Dirty Punts (Heidi) 1-1–Nice bounce back win! Kyler Murray picked up the bonus for 400 yards.
- Feast or Famine (Gideon) 1-1–Needs to find some points from some of those other guys, hard to win with 2.50 points from your flex spot.
- 50 Shades of Jay (Jarrod) 1-1–This is what sucks about having a QB like Sam Darnold…he is good and he got Jarrod a solid 40 points, but he was up against Murray. Sam is almost never going to get you 60 points.
- The Mega Powers (BatmanJason) 1-1–On the flipside, someone like Dak Prescott can get you 60 or have a meh game and snag ya 20.
- Scott (Scott, obviously) 0-2–I bet he is kicking himself for not starting the Bears defense.
- Peppa Pigskin (Lindsey) 0-2–She should not be starting Gerald Everett in the flex position.
- Hamilton’s Privateer (John) 0-2–It was a close loss despite only getting 9.40 total points from four positions.
- Josh is a Gurley man (Ryan) 0-2–Ryan claims his team is still in it. I do not buy it at all.
- Game…Blouses (Josh) 0-2–My team is awful. At this point, I am just shooting for last.
