Dakine got the Raiders.

Glad they won but I’m shocked.

& How’d the Bears win?

[campaignPete R-CT]

Bears victory is met with silence from our leader, impy.

He’s happy that the Bears won. He’s sad that he picked the game wrong. Conflicted

[Impy]

I thought they would win but wouldn’t if I picked them, it was reverse psychology. I’m also disgusted how they almost blew it, if Fields didn’t scramble for that first down....

[campaignPete R-CT]

Carolina to win on Thurs.

In fact, all favorites to win in week 3.
I’ll list them in later.

There’ll be some shocking upsets, but I don’t know which games. That explains why they’ll be so shocking

PS If Tuesday is garbage night, remember to bring the cans to the curb.

Welcome to new player, Poser.

I decided everyone is 8-8 (.500 or a game under .500 if there are an odd number of games) for every week they miss.

If I missed your picks or got them wrong let me know. New thread will be posted tonight.

[teeman8r]

I will do better missing a week... woohoo, back to adequate.

Cool. On vacation. I’ll post a cumulative grid when I get back after week 3.

“Welcome to new player, Poser.”

Thanks. I've been following Bender's threads for years and always enjoyed his humor and graphics. I'm from SW Florida by way of New Hampshire. Tom Brady has been my quarterback for 20 years.

We shall see if I have any prognostication skills.

[big'ol_freeper]

I'd have done better if I hadn't found Bender's stash.

[big'ol_freeper]

I’ll go with the Texans over the Panthers Thursday

[Fury]

Re: 5 - You came onto an NFL these to write that?

Why are you so triggered that other FReepers do not believe, apparently, exactly what you do re: NFL?

[kosciusko51]

Ugh, terrible week. Would have been better *not* to pick for the week...
