Surprised so little Vikings picks, 2 game loss streak is significant sure, but they finally got some rest ; 10 days worth.

I'll freely admit I have no idea how good the Vikings are (they did get blown out at home by Buffalo); I just picked Philly (another team I'm clueless about) cause they had home field advantage.



Cowboys need to get rid of some coaching staff and need to get a good receiver now!

Also, I need the redskins to cover the spread in order to break even this week.

Hey Snoopy, do you remember when you said that the Packers are reaching the end of the line because Aaron Rodgers only has a few good years left in him while the Cowboys are set for a bright future with Dak Prescott?

A Cowboys fan putting his foot in his mouth? Unheard of.

Dak is actually playing decent, give him a good few receivers and we will be good to go. Besides packers are 2-2. How is that great for a GOAT? Can't even beat the lions lol.



Dak is playing like shit. He missed a lot of easy throws on SNF. He doesn’t have great receivers but he doesn’t do them any favors missing on easy throws.

Another solid week for the prediction league, setting aside the usual person who predicts the Thursday night game and forgets about the rest of the week. Three people were in double digit correct picks, despite a host of upsets. XD84 finally had his first .500 or worse week, leaving Level1Death as the only participant who's been above .500 every week.

Moving on to the overall results, we (yet again) have a new leader, albeit barely this time around. TheGoldenBoy snatches the top spot in the standings off the third tiebreaker, so this is a lead as precarious as it gets. You may have also noticed that the sheet looks a bit different this time around, with individual columns for correct and incorrect picks rather than a single column for your record. That's simply done to make the process more computerized and reduce the chance for human error on my part.

Finally, dammit Brandin Cooks, why did you have to get injured the week of my biggest fantasy matchup of the season.

The Packers are 2-2-1. More importantly, the Packers have been 2-2 many times with Aaron Rodgers and still made the playoffs, so the record is no reason for concern. The game against the Lions is a case of "everything that can go wrong does go wrong" with all its muffs, fumbles and missed field goals. The Packers offense produced over 500 yards with backup WRs, so there's no reason to call for new players on the team. This is just another one of those years with a middling start where it takes some weeks until things begin to click. Next game is at home against the 49ers, so that's a very winnable one. Week 7 is the Packers' bye, so the banged up guys get some rest.

The middle portion of the schedule is tough with a lot of road games against quality teams, so there's a good chance that the Packers will be only 5-5-1 after 11 games. At that point the Packers would have to run the table, but that's doable considering how the schedule eases up.

Compare all that to the situation of your team. You'll probably be already happy if you can finish ahead of the Giants in the NFC East, so a 5-11 record is what you are praying for.

Aaron Rodgers QBR has been above average this year and the Packers defense sucks, to say the least.  Make all the excuses you want, but you lost to the lions. We lost to the Texans due to some few mess ups, but it is still an L. I'm just glad we have a great defense that is pretty young and a great running back. Just give Dak a few good receivers and he should play well enough like his rookie season. When you have no good receivers, it makes your life a living hell. Look at Tom Brady, he got off to a rough start until he got Edelman and Gordon. The fact is, Cowboys have no playmaker playing as a receiver.
