Watching the SF at Minn game.
Me: I don't even know who to cheer for in this game.
Mr B: Whoever you picked.
Good point. Go Vikings!!!!
FUN WITH NUMBERS (Part 1)
21 players made a total of 336 picks this week.
We are unanimous in picking New Orleans over Tampa Bay and Green Bay over Chicago.
Only Edgar chooses Houston and Maxine is alone in selecting Buffalo.
The Tennessee versus Miami and Seattle against Denver games are rated as toss-ups: 11-10.
We think the home teams will win in 75% of the games.
Johnboy, JPB and J Aumen are in agreement with the majority on all but one
game.
The most disagreeab...um, the most free thinking players are Maxine, who differs from the majority of other players on 8 games. Tico (and CoinToss) follow at 7 games.
@realjohnboy,

oopsie!!
@JPB,
Note that this game isn’t over yet. Chuckling
Watching Chicago and Green Bay in near disbelief.
@edgarblythe,
That looked like a game to watch. Their fans must’ve been on the edges of their 💺. No way is anyone worth the kind of money 💰 the top QB get but when they can do what he did (and does fairly regularly) in regular season and playoffs, you can justify it. I must admit he has some good talent around him on the team, too.
He and Brady make each game fun to watch.
@Ragman,
When you can hop around on one foot and still play better than most QBs on two, you just might be worth a big paycheck.
@edgarblythe,
FWIW, I also saw in that sack of Rodgers an accidental knee to his helmet.
Well, we are mostly all bunched up with either 8 or 9 wins. A few outliers on the low end. But heading into tonight, RJB, Imur, George, ehBeth, Panzade, Fbaezer and Jaumen all are sitting at 9 wins. Without looking too closely, I'll just say one of them will win the week.
Everyone else is sitting on 8 wins except for Maxine (4), Littlebit, Mysteryman, Rhys, Tico and CoinToss (6) and Euroceltic (7).
If anyone has anything different, let me know.
I will get this weeks games out Tuesday morning. Since I reside just outside Charleston, SC, I may be less communicative depending on what Florence ends up doing. Right now it looks better for us, worse for the NC coastal islands. But as Hugo taught me, you never know until you know. (Littlebit, Jaumen and Lightning are also here in the Charleston area.) If anyone is near the NC coast, stay safe.
@CoastalRat,
I think squinney and bear (BVT) are in the path, but they don't post here much if at all now.
Here's how we stand going into MNF.
Let me know if I got your score wrong.

Littlebit 6
Maxine 6

And this is why I need a check on week 1. I messed up a formula and so gave nobody credit for the Cincinnati-Indianapolis game. Once I fixed that, I believe George and I are in agreement.
Ta-da!
This will come down to the tie-breaker.
Of those with 8 or more points, only JPB picks Jets and only edgarblythe and
lmur pick Raiders.
@CoastalRat,
By my count, I have Ragman with 9. Am I wrong?
@realjohnboy,
Yes, I do have Ragman at 9 wins. George, can you check your figures for him? I show wins for

@CoastalRat,
Here's how old I am: I put his Baltimore pick for the Colts.
I will correct my sheet.
