I inadvertently chose Cleveland over Pitt for 12 points.

Gotta double check those picks.

I forgot to make my picks until Friday, though that might have been to my benefit since I usually lose the Thursday night game and was able to ensure I only punted my 1 point pick for this week...

I find it hilarious that I pick football games so much better now than I did when I actually followed the sport. I couldn't even tell you one team's record right now...

The way the NFL has been the last couple of weeks that's an advantage.

It's way early but these are the current playoff teams:

AFC
1. Kansas City
2. Buffalo
3. Pittsburgh
4. Jacksonville
5. Denver
6. Oakland

NFC
1. Philadelphia
2. Detroit
3. LA Rams
4. Carolina
5. Atlanta
6. Green Bay

The Patriots and Cowboys are both in 8th place.

My son points this out when I tell him I'm now in first place having won two weeks in a row after being last the first two weeks.

That's a lot of green this week:

I guess I should have paid more attention to my tiebreaker picks since a 13/13 week was not good enough to get my name at the top. Congrats to Skippy for outperfecting me and LB.

Unless you count Carolina, there were no upsets this week. I can't remember the last time that happened.

Well done, green team.

I have been picking NFL games every regular season week since the start of the 1992 season. This is my first perfect week! And naturally, I can't even bask in the glory alone since apparently any idiot could've had a perfect week this week....
