What should your team be most thankful for?










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 KCF0107 who had the best week this week at 10-4! Good job!

Yes, you read correctly. The triple threat this week only is worth +90 if you get all three right, -30 if you get just one wrong. It's a Thanksgiving Triple Threat! Good luck to any who dare to take it.

Houston Texans @ Detroit Lions
Deshaun Watson should be enough for the Texans to get the win here against a team that's not so good at home (or on Thanksgiving)

Washington Football Team @ Dallas Cowboys
The sad thing is, one of these teams could be in the playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Ravens are tempting here, but I'm still going with the home team.

I'm sticking a LOCK on Dallas. After being one of the only people on WFT last week and watching the Bengals dismantling them on both sides of the ball pre-Burrow injury, I have no confidence in them to even keep this within 7 points.

There's only two teams I feel particularly great about locking so I'll stick the third one here.

Every time there's an NFC East vs East matchup I feel like it's the perfect time to get one of them successfully locked, I just keep picking the wrong one.

I also checked Swifty, terpaholic, Camden, and foxhead from last week to this one at more or less random. And all of them except foxhead had the same record between leagues. That's probably because foxhead made different picks between leagues, but I was too lazy to check their picks.

@theawesomestevr

I found some missed picks in week 8 IIRC, 2 games for a number of players. I believe you were one of the players who I had two games too few for. Most of those games were two losses so it didn't affect standings for those players, but a couple of players should have had one more win overall.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Atlanta Falcons
Picking the better team.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills LOCK
Bills at home against a Chargers team not quite ready to compete.

New York Giants @ Cincinnati Bengals
The Giants should be able to handle Brandon Allen

Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts
When in doubt... pick the home team.

Carolina Panthers @ Minnesota Vikings
Vikings haven't been good at home this year, but they should win this one still.

Arizona Cardinals @ New England Patriots LOCK
Cardinals have often pulled off some crazy wins. I think they take this one.

Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
Tank for Trevor.

Cleveland Browns @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Mike Glennon isn't the answer for the Jags woes.

New Orleans Saints @ Denver Broncos
I feel the Saints are better.

San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams
Rams have been solid at home this year.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Chiefs will be tough for the Paper Champs to beat.

Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers
Packers are the better team, and should be fired up after a loss to the Colts.

Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles LOCK
Eagles somehow have a chance at the playoffs. But they're still bad.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Atlanta Falcons
Falcons have a defense that'll job.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills
Even with some COVID problems, the Bills will inch out a win here since Chargers like to lose closely.

New York Giants @ Cincinnati Bengals
Bengals with a back-up QB went TD-less against a team the Giants beat twice.

Tennessee Titans @ Indianapolis Colts SUPER LOCK
Titans don't have enough of a Red Zone offense to push back and try and tie the series.

Carolina Panthers @ Minnesota Vikings
Panthers should be fine here.

Arizona Cardinals @ New England Patriots
Patriots could pull this off, but I won't predict it with how their defense is.

Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
Tua hurt, may mean Fitzmagic is gonna start working again.

Cleveland Browns @ Jacksonville Jaguars LOCK
Yeah, not the Jaguars starting their 3rd string QB.

New Orleans Saints @ Denver Broncos LOCK
I pick the team that's starting a QB at QB.

San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams
49ers did it once before, can probably pull off the upset again with some players being back.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Brady post another dismantling won't bounce back here. He can't win this QB duel.

Chicago Bears @ Green Bay Packers
Packers will be angry and want to bounce back.

Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles
Eagles injuries and how confused they are with their own offense leads to probably another good outing by Carlos Dunlap on the defensive side. And Russ can cook here, especially with some people coming back from injury for the Seahawks.

Therefore the results of that game will be tacked on to next week so I can still post the next topic late Monday night. I will record the picks from this week however.

I'll finally make this one:

Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers
RG3 might be 1-0 as a Raven, but it was not a high stakes game against a tough opponent. And they weren't missing other players. Steelers aren't missing some key players and already won this matchup once.
