Trying to remember why on earth I picked Baltimore... Probably something re Cinci and last year. I had this habit of reading some sports news quickly/superficially, then picking a team on impulse, having it lose, choosing against it the next week, and having it win, and maybe reversing again the next week, with reversing results. Stupid football teams!
I'm glad this worked out this way. It gives me a cushion for total flubup on week 2, a pattern that has happened before.
The first week is actually somewhat easier then later weeks, to me - the teams which reliably have their act together from year to year outperform those who don't, but are prone to getting lucky from time to time.
During weeks 4-8 it will be tough for anyone to match the level of picks we see in the first two weeks, I wot, as offenses get their act together a little more.
