Whelp, just sat down Thursday morning to look over the slate of games coming up this week and holy
shit! I need to pick the Panthers who play tonight! Now, I generally try to avoid the Thursday night games
because they have proven to be quite chaotic, but I liked the way the Panthers played the Rams last week
and think that defense should have a field day with Jameis Winston in their house. Jameis must have wax
in his ears, because he has not heard the whispers from Bruce Arians as was apparent from his 3
interception, 55% completion percentage performance against the Niners.
Week 1 didn't really have any big upsets, so only 152 of the original 1499 entrants were taken down.
Shockingly, the biggest party pooper was the Cleveland shit Browns, that had 77 people drinking the
kool-aid, followed by 25 lost to the Bears opening night. Predictably the majority of the picks went to the
two biggest home favorites Seattle and Philadelphia. (apparently they all read this column)
The lock pick this week is the Patriots favored by 19 against the tanking Dolphins. I used them for one of
my picks and it just feels dirty. I am curious to see if they are the top pick this week as per usual with the
largest favorite or if people will think that is a waste of the Patriots to pick against Miami.
Please wait...
