^Picking the Broncos as AFC champs?

You gots some balls sir.

Yeah, it was a hard choice. It's just they are the only AFC team I can think of without a HUGE weakness. Plus, Kubiak will make sure they feed CJ Anderson.

My Super Bowl pick looking nice. Denver is so fucking stacked, all Peyton has to do is just play halfway decent.

My Super Bowl pick looking nice. Denver is so fucking stacked, all Peyton has to do is just play halfway decent.

I think we've found their weakness though, feeding the ball to CJ Anderson. They can't run the ball AT ALL.

First set of standings up after week 2!

I didn't really figure out what happened to @EmperorWu in week one, so for now I've got him in the standings. It'll even out eventually.

Out of people who have picked all the games, @BSM would currently have the lead, while it's been rough going for @RatedRBowler in weeks one and two. But never fear, the first two weeks are always the toughest to predict, and it's anyone's game with it being so early in the season!

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

For what is, I believe, the first time in his many years of participating, @Str8Shooter has effectively taken the top spot on our leaderboard. How long will he be able to hold on, especially with fellow Canadian @HFX right on his heels?

@RatedRBowler dug himself out of the bottom, thanks in part to no-shows by @GNR, @UTK and @lyonssv. @EmperorWu was another no-show, but should he start picking again finds himself in favorable position.

So in a week of very strong showings, lots of people definitely helped themselves out. On to week four!

[UTK]

So good at fantasy...so bad at picks...

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

For the second week in a row, @Str8Shooter sits atop our leaderboard, but @BSM has jumped into second and is nipping on his heels. Almost everyone in the bottom half of the standings improved their percentage this week, which means we have a much closer overall table now heading into week five.

[Everlong]

Alright, standings updated!

Stumbles by our Canadian brethren @Str8Shooter and @HFX led to a shakeup at the top of the rankings, where @BSM now has a two and a half percent lead over the trio of myself, @Xgamr and @The Legend. No-shows by @SKS and @ShaneOfan this week had them remain fairly steady in their positions, while @Messiah's poor choice of upset picks cost him dearly and @UTK remains on the bottom... for now.

[The Legend]

I'm coming for you @BSM !

[UTK]

I'm coming for you @BSM !

Yeah, me too!

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

@BSM remains at the top, with @The Legend breathing down his neck. No-shows by @ShaneOfan @SKS @JDD and @GNR all had impacts on the rankings as well, with ShaneO and SKS in danger of elimination. @UTK managed to pull himself up from the bottom by winning this week's picks.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

@SKS and @ShaneOfan have been eliminated for too many no-shows, and we also received no-shows this week from @GNR, @lyonssv and @UTK. Lots of no-shows. GNR can only miss one more.

It’s been a rough season so far for our pickers, as our top scorer, @BSM, has only 67.57 percent correct. But right now that’s enough in a season packed with upsets and underperforming NFL teams. @The Legend and @Str8Shooter remain in the hunt right behind him.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

@BSM remains in the lead, but nobody is having a particularly memorable year at the moment. @GNR has been eliminated from contention due to missing too many weeks.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

It's been an absolutely brutal couple weeks for picks, and as a result, everyone except @RatedRBowler saw their overall percentages take a dip. But @The Legend fared just well enough to give him the top spot as we head forward into week 11. @lyonssv and @UTK were eliminated from contention, but are still welcome to pick games, of course.

This has been the most unpredictable season on record, based on our percentages. Crazy!

[JDD]

I cant believe i won this one year. Im so bad
