Since I get stuck running the picks contest again this year, we will be playing for pride this season, strictly for bragging rights, if you do not wish to participate, I understand. If you do wish to participate, have all of your picks in every week by Thursday. So without further ado, it's time to play the game.

@doubledragon Tip of the hat for stepping up this season. As always much appreciated
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
It might be too late to suggest this, but @doubledragon do you remember the original contest you ran for us a few years back? You used to select four games per week. I really liked that game. You always picked some tough ones, and it made it interesting. My point is...if you wanted to go to a streamlined version like that, to keep it more simple, I'd support it. Either way...
Week 1

I think if there is a tie it is just a push or something. Meaning you should pick a winner always.
Thanks for running this and thanks to perkdog for his gesture. I'll make it easy for myself. My picks:All the home teams as I'm in the dark.
I'll get this out of the way now. Congratulations to the winner.
Amazing gesture, I'm speechless. 🍻

@galaxy27, Thanks buddy, that's a really nice gesture, glad to have to on board this season. 🖒 🍻
So you're taking the Lions to beat the Chiefs in KC tonight, I'm impressed.
Darin is our defending champion, @Darin we need your picks, you must defend your crown!
Perkdog,if I am fortunate to win please donate the prize to your local animal shelter or cancer prevention organization. Thanks.
@perkdog, Me too, I'll second that. 🖒
@perkdog, Me three!

Watching the game, I'm wondering what I was thinking. It's too early to get cute. 🙃
Looks like I won't go undefeated with my picks
"is the contest over?"
-showstopper
I'm putting myself on waivers already.
Seeing the analyst in the morning.
It was good to have the season back.
We've seen it all before. One week does not a season make. Chiefs are obviously very different without Kelce. I think that tonight's results will do both teams some good.
Also the holdout defensive lineman willing to sit out at least 8 games did not help.
....
No, but I wouldn't say that it was their defense that lost them the game. So for now he won't take too much heat I'm sure. Drops were an issue. Going for it on 4th down didn't feel right to me. If the Chiefs had won it at the end, it would have felt like a very winnable game for the Lions. It's not all that easy to go into Arrowhead and win one, let alone opening week like that. The Lions seemed to struggle with their offense, and I didn't come away impressed with the play of Goff. At the end of the day, if you are a Lions fan, the feeling is great. If you are a Chiefs fan, you are permanently entrenched in SB or bust mode.
KC will be fine, but if they cut Kadarius Toney tomorrow it would be justified
that dude was an atrocity the entire game
...
Yup, he was not good. KC fans are none too happy with him tonight. I agree, KC will be fine. They are at that point where, as we we all watched tonight, it just feels the entire time like they are going to find a way to win. They are atop the hill. Those drops were game changers. Of course, Goff was victimized by his receivers dropping a few of the short ones, do it goes both ways. KC is so dependent on Kelce.
it's one thing to have a single back-breaking drop, but it's an entirely different ball of wax when you make it abundantly clear for four quarters that catching a football is a foreign concept to you
that pick 6 banged off his hands too
he basically played for the Lions tonight
(nice pick btw)
..
I just saw this online.
Least I'm batting a 1000. Albeit it in the wrong direction.
Good call @thisistheshow and @BLUEJAYWAY, well done fellas. 👏
Listen everyone, I'm going to bump erikthredds 2023 NFL season thread, I don't want to get this thread clogged up with NFL talk, it will be more difficult to keep up with the picks.
I'm late to the party. I would have missed the first one anyway. I will save everyone from the embarrassment of being DFL. I will take one for the team.
Falcons
Browns
Jags
Vikings
