Which change will be the most difficult to adjust to this year?










Rules:

1. Pick who you think is going to win each week. Please try to keep it in the order I have it in. I will be using ESPN to pull the game order this year, which is what I believe the other league uses.

2. You may have up to three LOCK's each week. These are your primary tiebreaker. If you use more than 3 locks only your first 3 locks will count. SUPER LOCKS, however, will always count as the first lock, regardless of order.

3. Picks must be made within 5 minutes of start time

4. Don't delete your post. Editing is fine as long as it's done by the deadline for each game

5. Correct locks earn you 10 tiebreaker points, incorrect locks are worth-10. If you don't make picks you earn -50 points.

6. Super locks may be used on the game of the week. Get it right for +20 or wrong for -20. Just put SUPER LOCK next to the game of the week. You may also use a regular lock on this game instead. Just omit the word 'SUPER"

7. Once during the season you may LOCK ALL. Just say LOCK ALL in your post, and you will lock every game. Each correct is worth +10, and each wrong is worth -10 (for up to +160 points in a 16 game week)

8. The player(s) who correctly lock every team (minus any teams that go winless) at least once will gain +320 tiebreaker points. If nobody manages to do this, then whoever correctly locks the most teams will get a bonus of +160 tiebreaker points

9. In some weeks (but not necessarily all) there will be a TRIPLE THREAT of games. If you get all three right, you earn 60 tiebreaker points, but if you get just ONE (or more) wrong, you lose 30 tiebreaker points. Any you get right will still be counted among teams locked correctly. Simply put TRIPLE THREAT instead of LOCK for the games you are choosing to use it.

10. I reserve the right to remove any player from the player list if they've missed picking at least 28 games.

11. Ties count as Ties unless you didn't pick, then they count as a loss.

12. I'll accept picks from other leagues, but limit it to one source. Picks from other sources must be submitted to me by Monday at 5:00 PM.

Congrats to last year's Super Bowl Champion, Silvstedt!

As long as we get at least 14 people, yes.

Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs LOCK

I mean, it's the best team in the NFL right now vs a team that is fighting for the #1 draft spot after their owner thought Bill O'Brien is worthy of all the decision making of the team.

Houston Texans @ Kansas City Chiefs
Who knows what Bill O'Brien is doing? Probably not even Bill O'Brien. The Chiefs, however, are ready to be a presence in the AFC for as long as Mahomes is healthy.

Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons
Seattle should look to get off to a strong start this year. The Falcons turned things around at the end of last year, but I'm not sure its enough.

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills LOCK
Not the Jets.

Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions
I don't have much faith in the Lions.

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
My Mantra: When in doubt, pick the home team.

Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots LOCK
Usually this would be "Tom Brady at Home" but here its "The Dolphins."

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Football Team
I'm not confident in this pick. The football team could turn things around this year with a new head coach. But I'll still go with the safe pick of the Eagles.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Carolina Panthers
Panthers probably don't have it all together yet. Raiders should have this one.

Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville lost a lot of their defensive players over the offseason. And they didn't seem to get much help for Gardner Minshew, either. I'll take Philip Rivers over the Jags pretty easily.

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens LOCK
Not the playoffs, so I feel safe picking Baltimore here.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Cincinnati Bengals
Both these teams have new QB's. Bengals should look to win this one at home, but it should be close.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints
The Buccaneers are the 2020 Paper Champs. The AARP will be watching this game with great interest.

Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers
49ers at home against the Cardinals. Pretty easy pick.

Dallas Cowboys @ Los Angeles Rams
I think the Rams have fallen further of the two.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New York Giants
No faith in Joe Judge and the Giants.

Tennessee Titans @ Denver Broncos
I don't trust the Titans to start strong. The AFC South is always a mess.

The football team could turn things around this year

This is a fantastic quote out of context.

But now time for mine.

Seattle Seahawks @ Atlanta Falcons
Falcons will need a little time to figure out how to fully use their RBs in their system and Seahawks have a very strong secondary this year, plus a weak defense is playing against one of the best QBs.

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills
Bills have some very good new weapons that will be shown off in style.

Chicago Bears @ Detroit Lions
Many question marks will be on both of these teams, I'm actually going the home team logic here.

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
No Diggs, Vikings will be learning their offense and Packers are still strong-ish on Defense.

Miami Dolphins @ New England Patriots LOCK
Miami might be the worst team to start the year out, they could get better by the end, but I'd expect them to even lose to the Jets if they were playing them this week.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Football Team
I have no faith in Haskins early, and Eagles could show a very cool defense.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Carolina Panthers
Raiders have excellent weapons on offense and Panthers still haven't filled in that defense.

Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
The improved Colts defense got better, and they could win this match-up with a reject QB, try with a Pro-Bowler.

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens
Unlucky first match for Browns, Baker wants to rebound from last year but Ravens are still way ahead.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Cincinnati Bengals
A rookie QB is not going to show off a win in week 1, least of all with a team that doesn't even know how to play this game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ New Orleans Saints SUPER LOCK
Brees at home, no Evans means they can double team Godwin, and Gronk is definitely out of some practice.

Arizona Cardinals @ San Francisco 49ers
49ers pass offense is still not gonna be something to be pleased about with their top WR out and their second with a hamstring injury that he'd be trying to play through. Cardinals have improved, and they'll show it here.

Dallas Cowboys @ Los Angeles Rams
The better defense will win this, especially when you can expect Cowboys stars to underperform what's expected.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New York Giants
The fumble king at QB has no chance against Steelers defense.

Tennessee Titans @ Denver Broncos
Proven offense against a big question mark. Titans may drop down later, but don't think Broncos can stop Henry while having Lock and his weapons succeed fully.
