Should be very tight when the pre-MNF standings pop up here tomorrow. The Buffalo vs L.A. game will be fun to watch and also will produce the top dogs on our leaderboard.
Three weeks running, one game has taken down the whole room. Green Bay, then Buffalo, and this week Dallas. All nine of us had the Cowboys on Thursday, and Tampa won 24-16. @ElMagoStrikeZone pointed out that Dallas was the only home team all week with a better record than its opponent. That was the one that lost.
Giants and Commanders tied 27-27, the first tie of the season. I counted it as a point for nobody. All nine of us had a side in that one, so whether perk scores a tie as zero or a half, nobody gains or loses ground on anybody.
@perkdog and @Saint Ezzard both go 11-2-1, the best week anyone's had this year. Perk now has 11 wins in back-to-back weeks. His two misses were Dallas and Cleveland, the team that made him a solo genius last Thursday. Saint had San Francisco (32-29 over Seattle), Green Bay (31-7 in Chicago) and the Jets (17-12 in Cleveland), and only missed Dallas and Indy.
@galaxy27 said he wouldn't pick against Atlanta if they played the '72 Dolphins with 10 players. Baltimore isn't the '72 Dolphins, and they still needed overtime to win it 30-23. Steve was the only other one on the Falcons.
Galaxy and I finally split. Six different picks this week after three weeks of turning in the same card. I won three of the five that got decided, so I take the week by a game.
@BLUEJAYWAY got his picks in early "before the mind changing evil devil jabs me with a pitchfork." He was the only one on Miami and the only one on Arizona, and he went 5-8-1. The devil may have had a point.
Steve, Darin and BJ all took the Raiders and the Saints. Patriots 45-17, Vikings 23-13. I took Minnesota this week, so I guess I trust them now.
Left to play: Bills at Rams tonight. Six of us have the Rams: perk, ElMago, galaxy, Steve, BJ and me. Canes, Saint Ezzard and Darin have Buffalo. If the Rams win, Canes, perk, ElMago and I are in a four-way tie at 50. If Buffalo wins, Canes sits alone at 51 and Saint joins a four-way tie for second at 49. ElMago said this game would decide who's on top, and he's right either way.

Gang banged by the Cowboys. What a crazy season so far. We’ve been collectively wrong a lot. 😂

@ElMagoStrikeZone was alone on Tennessee. Texans 26-3.

As Buckaroo Bonzai said... "Wherever you go, there you are."
I will no longer be picking Tennessee even if they are scheduled to play in the Puppy Bowl.
