Go figure the one week I show up strong I forget the Thursday night game. I went on a 9 mile hike that day to try and forget about the election and forgot about football instead
You got a higher percentage of games guessed this week, so you can wear the crown and cape, but I still get to sit on the winners bench and I want sprinkles.
Woot Woot! Mr. Miser is clearly just playing with us - skipping the first game completely and making the outlier pick on the last game. Well done.

This is my 4th year picking 'em. Somehow I've gone from winning the first 2 years to not being able to crack 100 most weeks. I wish I could remember what the hell I was doing back then... but every week I get further and further from the glory days. I need about 4 perfect weeks to get right back in the middle of the pack.
Then I need your help with 2 really bad weeks... 1 won't do it.
I'm gonna buckle down and think about my goals this week. Next week you're gonna see the new (old) me. Moderation be damned!
Have faith my brother. It is well within the realm of possible outcomes.
I've had good and bad years. I think I've finished at the top and bottom of the pack. So a system is only as good as the alignment of the stars. I used to use the 538sports profile as my first wave of input to a spreadsheet. That was pretty good, but they killed it last year, so I had to adapt, but the basics of that model are still a pretty good indicator. Then you have to add moon phase, wind direction, the temperament of Miami's puppy, and the temperature of Manbird's tapioca into the mix. Divide or multiply as needed to get an answer you like. And never pick the Jets... unless you do.
Spreadsheet?
The Jets are dead to me. As are the Falcons, Saints, Titans, Raiders, Seahawks, Patriots, Broncos, and Buccaneers.

More a loose compilation of suggestions w/ a dash of manbird hunch folded in. Everything in moderation, especially moderation.

This whole season is a conspiracy to make me look bad. If it weren't for the cheating... you'd see I am winning.
I went to bed at halftime of the Texans game (correction... after the first play of the 3rd quarter...interception) ... figured I didn't want to watch them lose given I had jinxed them.
I literally can't get out of my own way this year... was going to pick Panthers, and talked myself out of it for the Jets.
I do think there is some confirmation bias going on with the referees and penalty calling.

There were several wins that could've gone either way really - Steelers, Chiefs (blocked field goal - really?), Saints (3 missed field goals by the Falcons kicker?), Lions, Vikings, etc.
If I were into conspiracies...
