I’m pretty sure that all of my picks this year will be correct.

Just like last year.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Thanks for setting it up , beast.

Y'all can be grateful I didn't get in this year. In my other league there's some sort of quantum shift in the universe and I've taken first place for both of the first two weeks. I somehow managed 14 of 16 'correct' picks for last week. I feel sure I've peaked, but it was sure fun to beat out my brothers and bro-in-law. Currently 25-7 with 218 points.
You're welcome.

I’m guessing that most if not all of us would be more than happy to have you join in, and give you full credit for your record as of your entry.

Not sure whether you can join late without some extra effort, but I’d bet beast could make it happen, if necessary.

Nah, that wouldn't be fair, especially as, historically my picks between the two groups haven't been identical. I tended to pick opposite on close calls. I expect the wheels will come off for me in my sister's league, sooner rather than later, but I'll always have (early) September.. :

As anticipated, my wave has crested and I'm only hanging on to the lead in my other league by a thread:

YippeeKiYay 685 78-44

My previous 30+ point lead has dwindled to 8 points, so last week was probably my last in first.

Week 9:

LB is perfect going into the final two games (Sun night and Mon night). Nobody jinx him by mentioning it.

Shhhh

Denied.

How in the hell did that happen? And of course, it's my erstwhile favorite team that ends up killing me...

I've been picking the games every week since the start of the 1992 season (probably the only reason I still do this despite not being able to name even three players who currently play in the NFL) and have never gone perfect, and can only remember one time offhand where I lost just one game. Looks like I managed to pick both upsets, but couldn't get that third....

And now it's a guarantee the Jets win tonight to make sure I still lose two...

Nothing like getting one point short of the maximum score and just barely getting myself out of last place. It's the equivalent of Randy Johnson's perfect game in the middle of a 111 loss season...
