I figured I'd be the only one expecting Campbell and the Lions to earn their 1st win this week! Yet three in a row says he does.

With Nagy rumored to be fired, I think the Bears, uh, barely show up for the game against the Lions. I feel like the Titans are going to stumble while depending on Tanny to carry the team, and the Rams take advantage of a slightly hobbled Rodgers.

Since this is the NFL though, I'll be badly wrong on 2 of these 3 games. :)

The Lions were soooooo close! I had Bears initially but with the coaching issues, the short week, some injuries, and just the hype of the Thanksgiving game I thought Dan Campbell might be able to get a win on this one.

They had it right there and then they had three consecutive penalties and things started to unravel.

Ah well.

I just have this feeling the Lions will go winless and become the first team with two winless seasons. (They do have a tie at least this season.)

It's too bad for them there isn't a a Trevor Lawrence waiting in next years draft. I want good things for them.

Me too...I'm a big Dan Campbell fan and wish them nothing but good things.

Oh I don't care about Campbell. He's a goner. Just the Lions franchise.

I think this has been the toughest week so far for picks. My confidence level is low on almost all of them...

I've had a couple really bad weeks in a row, and 0-3 to start this week so...

If you're looking for sympathy, It's in the dictionary between shit and syphilis.

Edit: Really? Shit is a censored word? The bit doesn't work with poo-poo. I get wanting to keep things civilized but it's just words. If you are offended by nouns get better meds.

I'm 1-2, so I'm pulling away from you, lol.

Well after this week’s games (thus far), I’ve come to the following conclusions.

The Lions are STILL the Lions. I don’t really expect them to win a single game this season.

The Cowboys…they look great, they look dominating they can’t score touchdowns. The NFC East is going to be way up for grabs again this season

I’m still not sold on the Bills this season but they were able to beat the Saints. Without Kamara and no real solid option at quarterback, don’t count on the Saints winning too many more games.

The age of Big Ben in Steel
Town is over. He should have retired but with no option at quarterback, the Steelers are a team I won’t be picking anymore this season

The battle for the bottom of the barrel proved that even with a veteran in Taylor, the Texans are bound to lose the rest of the season. I mean c’mon, can’t even beat the Jets??

The Eagles prove to me if they are anything, they are inconsistent. I pick against them, they win. They convince me they have something, and they lose the the hapless Giants? As I said, the NFC East is going to be up for grabs.

I’m truly beginning to think the Dolphins are the football version of the Cleveland Indians in Major League. It’s starting to come together. Tagovailoa finished 2 games in a row with a completion percentage above 80, something no Dolphins quarterback has ever done. And the defense is playing like they’re possessed.

The Titans are not the SAME without Henry. Even though they rushed for an incredible 270 yards against the Patriots, turnovers in the running game killed Tennessee. On the other side of the coin, anyone who counted Belichick out since the loss of Brady was quite foolish. The Pats are back to being the AFC gold standard.

Speaking of Brady, the Bucs just barely survived a shootout with the Colts. That’s no knock on Tampa but more of a praise for the Colts. Don’t overlook them. Taylor compliments Wentz like Henry does Tannehill. They’re going to be a team to contend with.

Urban Meyer is finding out quick that winning in the NFL is not guaranteed, even against a team as terrible as the Falcons. Lawrence is progressing but it appears that for every 2 steps he takes forward, he takes one step back. Won’t be picking them to win another game either.

That’s what I’ve learned this week. But with this being the NFL, who knows what’ll happen next week.

I am having a comically terrible week so far. 2-7 in the games through 4pm.

thought this was interesting view of the data where you can see how many games were guessed right each week. We came out strong weeks 1-6... then started to tail off.

Week 12 is still in progress by the way, but you can see preliminary totals.

Please let me know if this is an acceptable way of presenting the data. I just learned how to upload pics :) Percentage is total percentage guessed correctly for year.

Works for me!
