Could I change my MNF pick to the Raiders, please? |
Sure. I suppose you are banking on another week 1 oddity to happen. |
Week 1 oddity? The Bills, Josh Allen in particular, are overhyped. The NFL pre-game analysts all said they thought it'd be a close game yet they all still picked the Bills. People just have a bizarre fascination with them and Josh Allen for whatever reason, so they get more credit than they really should. They were mostly crap against the Ravens, but Lamar scored more points for them than his own team so they snuck through those playoffs.
Steelers were worse than I thought they'd be on offense, but their defense is just as dominant as I'd expect. If their offense can somehow mold into something at least average, they're probably the only AFC team with a good chance to challenge Kansas City.
Ravens have picked up some big injuries lately and the Raiders are unpredictable with decent talent all-around. Gut feeling still likes the Ravens more, but it's close enough that I'm shocked no one else is picking the Raiders, and I assumed you were trying to encourage hero picks.
That Green Bay was a complete dumpster fire and Texans weren't are the real oddities of week 1 for me.
