    Just keep Wentz in one piece, that's all I ask!

    I'm almost regretting my Saints over Bears pick. Might have been a mistake. Should be a good matchup.

    I don't think your loss on Thursday night is gonna sink your ship. However, I think your picks of New England and the Dolphins will torpedo you. You are the only one to have made those selections. The erratic Newton and Tua's debut was a bit of a sketchy pick, but who knows, you may win them both, if so, you will do ok.

    At least we all get to enjoy the environs of Lincoln Field today...I'll be pulling for your Eagles!
    Enjoy the games.

    This week's winner may be decided by the time the 4:00PM games come around. The Steelers-Ravens and the Colts-Lions will most likely be the deciding games.....that is, until the Dolphins and Patriots pull off their upsets.

    Good luck all.

    Enjoy the games.

    Thanks for the good tidings on the Eagles.

    Winning the NFC East would ensure the Eagles of at least one home field game...and if they can gather some end of season momentum, well anything can happen. :)

    Yea, i badly need those two games you mentioned or it's going to be another frustrating contest week for me. I tried to hack Galaxy's CU account to see Perkdog's picks, and then i was going to submit the exact same picks, but i was unable to figure out his password.

    Pats close til the end. Newton fumbles the ball in sure field goal range with less than a minute to play and the Bills escape with a win.

    And Lamar Jackson solely responsible for the Steeler win. A pick six, an INT at the start of the 3rd that leads to a Steeler TD when pitt can't even move the ball, and some pretty lousy throws most of the day.

    i made a mistake with JRR300's picks (it was bound to happen sooner or later), and here's the proof:

    i put him down for the Chargers, when clearly he chose the Broncos. and believe it or not, correcting that gaffe gives him the victory this week. he has missed the least number of games thus far (4), and there's no way for anyone to catch him because tonight and tomorrow's nights picks are all the same (except for stevek's Tampa-NYG pick, but he's more than one loss behind).

    everyone please check your picks and make sure i didn't goober yours, too

    unless there is another mistake somewhere, congrats JRR300!

    someone else will have to spearhead this weekend's contest, as i will be at the pga tour event here in Houston -- the first tournament on U.S. soil to allow spectators since march. so completely stoked about it.

    Good for you, Galaxy. Enjoy the tournament.
    I can fill in again, but Thursday is my away day, so I don't have computer access, why is why I didn't count the Thurs game last time. If that's okay, then I'll handle the duties this week. Let me know what you all are thinking.

    your guess is as good as mine. it's a brand new track for these guys, so there is no historical reference to go by. if there is one guy who is actually familiar with the course it's Koepka -- he was a consultant in the renovation efforts. (it's a public muni that anyone can play for under $40.) tree & bunker density was lessened, so there are generous landing areas. it's long (that's what she said?) and plays over 7,400. there are 5(!) par 5s, so expect these guys to whip out the big stick early and often (that's what she said?) in order to capitalize. should be a fun watch with lots of birdies and eagles to be had.

    since i'm clearing flaming, i'll move on to your question. i fancy a bomber, so why not Tony Finau? dude is way, way overdue for his 2nd tour win.
