@Rockhead,

Actually Rocky I never even glanced at the picks of other players until last week when I took an interest in Mac's choices so that I knew which games to take a special interest in. In our telecasts they put the latest scores from the other matches on screen about every half hour but not for very long and as they use the team's geographical name rather than the chosen one as I do it can be a little confusing.
Those games were the Chargers/Titans, Raiders/Browns, Texans/ Dolphins and Broncos/Eagles. With the Chargers winning Mac drew level with me at the top and then changed two of his picks to coincide with mine which, as it happened, didn't make any difference as we had one each correct originally. When the Texans won Mac went one ahead. He probably had access to information denied to me to leave that one alone. But my choice was coming back strongly in the second half after a slow start.
Incidentally, I saw a discussion between four experts during one show and they all used the names I use throughout. I think Clevland should change their chosen name. The Clevland Steamers is better I feel. Brown is such a nondescript word and has rather tasteless associations.
I can now give the correct names to every team. Which just goes to show how much redundant brain capacity I have. Maybe curiosity represents the yearning of empty brain cells to be filled up. If so, the anti-IDers on the evolution threads have full up brains or not many cells.
