I keep forgetting the group rule to NEVER pick the JETS! Indy is a BAD team that NY should have handled with ease. So break the rule and face the consequences
If you didn't break them now and then, the rules just become lore. Thank you for your service in proving their utility.

I listened to a passionate argument about how Jacksonville was going to come out and show up the Lions. I sort of considered it, but then checked that persons record. Also remembered never change your picks (unless).
Edit - what a shocking lack of love for the seahawks

Go figure the one week I show up strong I forget the Thursday night game. I went on a 9 mile hike that day to try and forget about the election and forgot about football instead
You got a higher percentage of games guessed this week, so you can wear the crown and cape, but I still get to sit on the winners bench and I want sprinkles.
Woot Woot! Mr. Miser is clearly just playing with us - skipping the first game completely and making the outlier pick on the last game. Well done.

This is my 4th year picking 'em. Somehow I've gone from winning the first 2 years to not being able to crack 100 most weeks. I wish I could remember what the hell I was doing back then... but every week I get further and further from the glory days. I need about 4 perfect weeks to get right back in the middle of the pack.
Then I need your help with 2 really bad weeks... 1 won't do it.
I'm gonna buckle down and think about my goals this week. Next week you're gonna see the new (old) me. Moderation be damned!
Have faith my brother. It is well within the realm of possible outcomes.
I've had good and bad years. I think I've finished at the top and bottom of the pack. So a system is only as good as the alignment of the stars. I used to use the 538sports profile as my first wave of input to a spreadsheet. That was pretty good, but they killed it last year, so I had to adapt, but the basics of that model are still a pretty good indicator. Then you have to add moon phase, wind direction, the temperament of Miami's puppy, and the temperature of Manbird's tapioca into the mix. Divide or multiply as needed to get an answer you like. And never pick the Jets... unless you do.
Spreadsheet?
The Jets are dead to me. As are the Falcons, Saints, Titans, Raiders, Seahawks, Patriots, Broncos, and Buccaneers.

More a loose compilation of suggestions w/ a dash of manbird hunch folded in. Everything in moderation, especially moderation.
