Good day to yall; and a fine day it is.
21 non-fictional characters picking 16 games each this week = 336 choices. The majority of us agree 80% of the time. That is a little higher then usual, but not by much.
Everyone is choosing the Steelers and only Jespah believes the Browns will beat the Bengals. Mysteryman and Edgar have the Dolphins over the Cowboys and ehBeth and McGentrix think the Colts will top the Panthers.
We split 12-9 on the 49ers @ Ravens and the Bucs @ Titans games. The majority is going with the home teams.
We predict the home teams will win 10 of the 16 games.
JohnBoy, who always tries to be cordial, agrees with the majority on every game. Osso, Wandeljw, Cowdoc and LionTamerx are off by 1 game each.
McGentrix, on the other hand, agrees with the majority on just 7 games.
And then there is the ever aggravating fictional character CoinToss/CoinToss. The always chipper optimist, like McG, goes along with the crowd on just 7 games.
As I recall the rules, picks can be changed in the games today until the kickoff of the 1st game. Changes in the Sunday and Monday games are permitted if done by the start of the 1st game on Sunday.
@alex240101,
CoastalRat and Tico were way ahead of me...
@Region Philbis,
You've picked up another companion on that road.
I should have mentioned that Fbaezer is the only player to pick the Eagles over the Patriots.
@realjohnboy,
I'm certain it will come as a surprise to y'all, but I see the Dolphins beating the cowgirls today.
it's a thanksgiving tradition, you know...
getting my celebration started with a warm-up clip.

If I was to ever have to wear a Cowboys jersey, it would be #78. Leon even played his college ball just up the road...
@Rockhead,
Amazing. NPR had a story about that game this morning but I had not seen the video.
Dallas now has a domed stadium.
@Rockhead,
Great vid Rockie. It looks like a Blue Norther had just passed through.
@George,
The "smart money" represents the voice of the best students of form. So any decent student of form is likely to agree with it.
Thanks for the info. I presume that if a panty manufacturer took over from the steelmakers, as is gradually happening but too slowly for most people to notice, we would have the Pittsburgh Panters.
I think that the Clevland Cleavers is a better name than the Clevland Browns. Brown is such an awful colour don't you think George and has a range of distasteful associations.
@spendius,
here's a better look at the whole game, spendi...

it was fun to watch.
@spendius,
The Browns' name for Cleveland's team comes from, by most accounts, a famous coach in Ohio from a half century ago: Paul Brown. He was at Ohio State and moved into the NFL in Cleveland.
spendius stays with Detroit Lions.
Dang! There goes the string.
then there is the 2003 game...

I like this one best, because of the sideline shots showing a deflated tuna.
there is no such thing as a dolphin safe Tuna.
kill bill...
First half, Lions with a long string of almosts. GB with 7.
@edgarblythe,
It's terrible to watch. Sheer agony.
This is getting ugly for Detroit.
@realjohnboy,
Three fumbles by the Miami QB vs two interceptions by the Dallas QB?
