Pigskin Pickem Thread, Week 4

9-25-2025

[Impy]

Season seems weirder than usual, is it or is that just recency bias?

"Recency bias."

"Lot of injuries, are any of your fantasy players still alive?"

I lost Burrow in a dynasty league, have 3 crappy QBs who are all a threat to get benched. I love this sport. At least Bender's boys have no defense, how about that Jerry?

"Well Imp, I thought trading my best player would improve the team, it's called contrarian thinking. It's how I made the big bucks."

I have a picture of me with a couple of Broncos cheerleaders. Bender2 inserted himself into that picture. Funny.

QB Career Notes

I maintain a list of all QB career percentage wins that I update every week. I have been slowly working my way back to add the QBs with less than twenty games started. I suspect I won’t find any additional with high career averages other than Tom Dublinski who won 4 of the 5 games he started in 1960 for a .800 winning percentage.

Except for that, Otto Graham with 83 games started has the highest average of retired QBs at .795.

The Goat, Tom Brady ended his career with 381 starts and a .751 career average. He also has one of the highest playoff average of .729.

Only two teams started new QBs, and both won their games. Carson Wentz for Minnesota and Marcus Mariota for the Redskins (err the Washington team).

Spencer Rattler is working his way to being the worst QB of all time with nine games started and nine losses. He along with Cam Ward of Tennessee are winless this year.

Take a guess who the worst of all time is.

Daniel Jones has improved his career average is year from .352 to .378 and Mac Jones from .400 to .423. BTW, look out in the future for Cordell Jones. A high school senior at Portland High School in Portland Maine, he is tearing up the competition here in Southern Maine. It would be big, really big if a QB came out of Maine.

Sam Darnold is picking up where left off last season with the Seattle Seahawks with the highest passer rating of the week.

League Leaders in passing Herbert, Goff, Allen and Stafford are two or more wins. The others are not. But it is still very much bunched up. One game and Jackson could be on top.

CMP ATT CMP% YDS
Justin Herbert LAC 72 108 66.7 860
Geno Smith LV 67 106 63.2 831
Daniel Jones IND 63 88 71.6 816
Dak Prescott DAL 90 126 71.4 800
Drake Maye NE 77 106 72.6 785
Russell Wilson NYG 65 110 59.1 778
Jared Goff DET 74 95 77.9 761
Josh Allen BUF 69 99 69.7 755
Matthew Stafford LAR 63 95 66.3 739
Lamar Jackson BAL 54 75 72 722

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I was hesistant, yes.
In KC and spread is less than a field goal.
I usually go with the home team in that situation but this early season is still getting sorted out.

Took a shot with both the Ravens and the Bears

[Fiji Hill]

I hope the Falcons can rise to the occasion and beat the Football Team.

[Enterprise]

I’m jealous.

[Impy]

The “Dirty Birds” as Bender called them look so bad, ugh Penix. Meanwhile the Deadskins rolled with a backup QB and mediocre RB committee.

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

Interesting stats.

I'm going with the Seahawks tonight. Just not a fan of Kyler Murray. I'm still working on three more picks for the week but I'll post em later tonight. Not repeating last weeks mess up!
