A lot of parity so far and I did pretty badly last time I tried this. For Week 7 I'm going:

Chiefs over Raiders -- 15 points

Patriots over Titans -- 14 points

Bears over Saints -- 13 points

Steelers over Bengals -- 12 points

Packers over Cards -- 11 points

Dolphins over Browns -- 10 points

Seahawks over Texans -- 9 points

Commanders over Turds -- 8 points

Rams over Jaguars -- 7 points

Panthers over Jets -- 6 points

Eagles over Vikings -- 5 points

Niners over Falcons -- 4 points

Broncos over Giants -- 3 points

Lions over Buccaneers -- 2 points

Chargers over Colts -- 1 point

Much better result this week. If the Seahawks win tonight I’ll be 11-4 for the week with 89 points. Why do I keep picking the Chargers?? It has to be a sickness. Picking the Dolphins trainwreck to win in Cleveland was easily my worst gaffe of the week, even though the Steelers cost me 12 points.

Frickin’ Rodgers — blaming his own offensive lineman during a celebration for throwing off his mojo for the rest of the game. Guy can’t even get along with his own family, much less his teammates. Surely no one will ask this turd to play again next season.

I can't imagine there is a worse OL in football than the Texans. How do you draft a QB that early and expect him to have success with that OL.

It really is a shame. Broke mentality and played hero ball.

This Texans offense makes the Eagles’ look like The Greatest Show on Turf.

I VERY rarely turn a national game off unless it's a blowout but I just can't watch any more of this junk. I'm not even a Texans fan and it makes me sick to my stomach that any NFL GM would trot out an OL like that after having one of the worst OL's in football the prior season.

Double reviews? Chiefs are going to be like look again and remember who we are

The game was already over but on the Bucs last drive Baker was CLEARLY sacked by a leg whip/trip and somehow it wasn't called.

The backup guard for Cleveland is interesting along with their TE

Also reversing that catch/INT play with Otton was bogus. Both Otton and the DB had possession of the ball at the same time which is supposed to go to the offensive player. Like I said recently NFL officiating has never been worse than it is right now.

They’ve had poor olines since Watson was there. The fact they traded tunsil away and he was about their only reliable OL. Might not be the same player he once was but your oline is even worse without him

I’d add they blamed slowik and fired him. The issue was more their moves to fix the offense.

Tbh Harris no. 46 should’ve been penalized in all that.

why wouldn’t you just sneak that 3 times. Its inches away. 3 times you can’t get in then tip your cap.

not much separation lol

We have some now problems (not 99, but a couple) but I also think these Rams are a way later problem. Detroit too and more immediately so. Green Bay we will see, as well.

I used to love the pick 'em and rank 'em pools. We had one that ended about 15 years ago, but ran for 20 years, prior. We started so long ago (35 yrs give take), we would fax the picks to the Commissioner who would then fax them to the 15 or so players.

Please keep sharing your weekly picks.

A lot of those plays were also hero ball. The difference is that he made the plays prior to the injuries. Post injury, a lot of those same throws were made, but they went incomplete or became interceptions.

Was there a flag for the guy that shoved him onto the bench? There should have been.

I think also the muddying with the video ref has made things a lot worse, because it was clear in our game against Denver with the grounding that the refs got a call from the Video office and picked up the flag and there have been instances in other games where the coaches have been actually told by the refs that they've had a call from the video official and then the NFL have denied it post game.

The video ref is re reffing decisions it's not supposed to, it's only supposed to advise on objective mistakes by rule, not subjective calls (like for example is that receiver really in the area if he's a full ten yards from the ball)

I've still never seen a reffing decision as bad and flat out baffling as the one where they ruled there was no clear recovery on the fumbled kick off return against Dallas in 2019 was it?

It's the definition of unsustainable performance, he got out of so many situations where he looked sacked that he thought he was invincible, then when he did get injured it knocked that right out of him and he played twitchy.

One thing that I think needs to be acknowledged with Graham…

In his return, he is not going to be an edge rusher. He will not add one ounce of juice to the pass rush (hasn’t everyone watched him for the last 2 years?!) That shouldn’t even need to be argued. But he is strong and tenacious. He’s here to be an edge setter.

This may help with the running game IF he defies the odds and has something left in the tank. It’s not going to help the pass rush. I’d be pleasantly surprised if he gets a single coverage sack all year.

Not a judgement on Wentz in any fashion, just that the video creator is absolutely dumb as hell

"Wentz would really solo your fav QB”

*proceeds to show clips of him beating Commander backup/fringe QBs and Cousins, Blake Bortles, 1 clip from a loss to the Cowboys where Dak outplayed him, 1 clip from a loss to the Seahawks where Russ outplayed him, 1 clip from a loss to the Commanders where Kirk outplayed him

Why is everyone pretending that BG wasn't playing really well last year?

He had 3.5 sacks in 11 games. He was playing as strong and physical as ever.

Stephen Gilmore's corpse has to be an upgrade to Adoree "one-offing myself" Jackson.

Unpopular opinion but Jackson has played relatively average and Ringo similar. Maybe slightly below average but we've definitely seen worse. We could do better for sure but they haven't been as horrible as people say

Vikings fans really think this is the same?
