Anyone know why no teams have a bye this week?
No. Very odd.
Anyone know why they have two Monday Night Football games on the first two weeks of the season and then just one MNF game each week the rest of the way?

Guessing because they don't have Bye weeks in Weeks 1 and 2, and gives the NFL a chance to maximize coverage for their games.

how are the Broncos playing the Chiefs again? Gonna lose an automatic 14-16 points again.
You are doing that for their 4th round pick??? lol
I stick with what works :lol:

Plus, it's a 3rd round pick, and if they are bad enough, that is basically a 2nd rounder.

Former recent 3rd round picks include: Tyler Lockett, Russell Wilson, Shaquill Griffin, Damien Lewis, and Abe Lucas (we'll ignore some of the others). So yeah, it matters.

Besides, it's fun to root against the guy I man-crushed on so hard, then abandoned us. It's like watching the ex that broke your heart get fat.

Most these third round picks are pretty good but when was that Wilson guy picked and what position did he play? Not ringing a bell.

Speaking of the byes, why does the NFL complicate things so much!? 32 teams, if four teams are in bye each week you can be done with the bye in 8 weeks. Yet last week there are six byes and this week none!

I realize it’s because if the teams that travel over seas, but it just seems more complicated than it needs to be!

Must be related to the scheduling of the meetings to decide which games they are going to fix and which teams they want to win. lol

How long have you guys been doing this contest? This is the first year I've seen it. Does it have a feature to see what percentage of games someone picked correctly, not just a point total or standings?

My win percentage doesn't feel better than 50% lol.

This is my second season running it and someone else did it the first year. You would have to do it manually but would probably only take about 5 minutes. Go to View all picks and then in the upper left you can change the week. Just need to count how many you got right and wrong each week.
