I pick the San Francisco 49ers for TNF.

I want to change this pick to the Oakland Raiders.

Both teams are bad, but I learned that the 49ers will start their backup backup QB tonight.

You know….that was also the only reason I picked the Raiders, knowing that he was 50/50 to play tonight.

But it turns out, that even against a third string QB, the Raiders may still be too sorry to win.

I came to this thread to throw shade at the Raiders, but this cheered me up.

Thanks Rol.



                            

Damn this might be easily the best NFL week so far this season, at least on paper. Lots of great looking matchups.

Steelers/Ravens is always good.
Falcons/Redskins, hard to believe the Skins are 5-2. But Atlanta can get back into the playoff race with a win, as amazing as that sounds. High powered offense versus good defense.
Saints/Rams probably the game of the week on paper. Could easily be a high scoring shootout or if the Saints continue to rely on the ground game it could be a low scoring snoozer.
Bucs/Panthers interesting only because Fitzmagic returns and I'd love to see him throw for 450 more yards.
Chargers/Seahawks the Seattle defense is very underrated and Rivers is having an MVP caliber season. Seattle runs the ball a TON though, more than any other team IIRC.
Packers/Patriots the GOAT welcomes New England to town. I kind of hope GB gets blown out just to see McCarthy and Rodgers throw more passive aggressive shade at one another.

Shit I'm even interested in Texans/Broncos because my Broncos might actually win, Houston is the fraudiest division leader ever.



It's been a rough fantasy season for me this time around xD



Something of an important announcement

I made a mistake when creating the schedule for this week; the Packers vs. Patriots game is actually in New England, rather than Green Bay like I initially had down. It seems like everyone so far has picked the Patriots, so I'm going to leave those picks as is (after all, if you pick New England to win in Green Bay, I'd assume you'd pick them with home field as well). Going forward, however, the spreadsheet should say GB@NE.

Just so you know, the GB vs. NE game is in NE. I'm assuming you're still picking the Patriots.
