I’m excluding the Thursday and Friday games for this week so everyone can see the weekend schedule in time to play. Just pick the winner, no point spread. Hopefully we can get enough to make it fun. If we get enough I’ll add a monetary award to the winner for incentive to join.

    I trained a model to predict the outcomes because I'm too ignorant on NFL rosters to make an informed decision myself. I'm playing only so you have enough teams and if you get plenty I'll dip out. If I happen to win my charity is...

    Now that's out of the way. Let's see what ML can do in order from highest probability to lowest.

    1. Broncos over Titans
    2. Commanders over Giants
    3. Cardinals over Saints
    4. Bengals over Browns
    5. Jaguars over Panthers
    6. Texans over Rams
    7. Packers over Lions
    8. Patriots over Raiders
    9. 49ers over Seahawks
    10. Steelers over Jets
    11. Colts over Dolphins
    12. Buccaneers over Falcons
    13. Bills over Ravens
    14. Vikings over Bears

    Commendable of both of you.
    @bgr Stay for the season. Only takes a minute to pick.
    I’ll continue to run it all year if no one steps up. I have time on Tuesday mornings drinking my coffee to tabulate results and post the next week’s games. I just have to set a reminder. BTW if I happen to win I am also donating to the local shelter. My Harli passed 4 years ago and I found a wonderful dog to replace her at the shelter. No household is complete without a good dog. At least are wasn’t.

    What breed of dog did you own? Condolences on your loss 4 years ago. We lost our cat almost 5 years ago

    Definitely one of the hardest things in life is to lose a loved one. Had many pets but none are easy. Our latest is a mixed breed, part Jack, part Beagle (so they said). I have more pictures of her on my phone than the wife

    For my score,6, reminds me of a phrase:"It may be lonely at the top, but it sure is miserable at the (almost) bottom". Only consolation for me is at least I cashed out on for real $ with 1 parlay and my ML plays with Bills and Vikes.
