Yeah, I almost never pick the Bears, but I think they lose every time I do pick them.

Same. I was thinking it’s the Packers without Rodgers, who wouldn’t beat them? Live and learn, brother.

I pick them with one point a lot, this week 9, wtf was I thinking, oh yeah, golf.

I'm gonna start going low on points regardless of W or L so I don't end up too disappointed. Because when I got with 12 against the Bears, the beat the Steelers and Panthers, of course.

I should have known better than to go with them as a favorite. Under Fox the Bears are 0-6 when favorites.

It's like "we might actually have more talent than these guys, so the coaching staff is going to have to step it up for this one". And they did.

I'm going for Tardi, since we both picked Panthers- you got more points on me- so go Miami.

TardiOle was too much of a whiner. That was his downfall.

I have faith in Cutler. Faith that if the game is even close he will fuck it up for his team.

Spartan, you'll be #1 after tonight. I gotta find a way to overcome my slump. I'm coming for you.

I have to buy your book man.

We have some really impressive records. I was showing my buddy our league and he couldn't believe it. He's in a league where the majority of people are .500. Fucking scrubs.

Yeah, was looking at that yesterday. Now if only I could get better at the points portion of it!

Bad week for me. I feel like I've had several bad weeks even while having the top spot here and there. I don't remember it being so close at this point in past seasons. Still a lot of people within reach of taking 1st any given week.

2 big fuck ups for me this week - Last second, I changed my picks from Cincy and Atlanta to Denver and Seattle. That cost me 6 points. I'm 5 away from first.

I think this week coming up is super tough. 5 easy games, maybe three so-so games, and then 8 games that are coin flips IMO

Pick whoever is playing the Bears and you are sure to win.

I've been doing this pickem for a couple years. Even in the years I had no shot to win, I had a good time with it by tracking how to get in the top 10 or top 5 as the season progressed.

Pretty impressive with how many posters have a shot to finish in first.

I want to say last year out of like 33 active participants I was like 30. Then I won two of the last three weeks. I may have won 3 weeks in total. I had pride.
There are tough years, but folks still need to make picks and keep it real.
