Nothing like good old Week 1 football to remind us all that we all know nothing. The vast majority of us were so certain the Falcons were going to start the season with a win, we all were certain the Titans and their brand new offense would be able to take down the lowly Dolphins and none of us expected Fitzmagic to strike New Orleans.
Shoutout to Mark (picked Jets over Lions) and Clark (had Chiefs over Chargers) for nailing their ledge picks, though they also had a bunch of ledge picks they didn’t nail. But positivity people! Also, for the record, I’m counting Browns vs Steelers a win for myself, Heath and Matt. The Browns did break their losing streak so I’m calling that a win for those who picked them.
Here are the standings after one week of action.

Onto Week 2!
Unanimous picks: Chargers over Bills, Saints over Browns, Washington over Colts, Rams over Cardinals, 49ers over Lions and Broncos over Raiders
Ledge picks: —
Unsurprisingly we all have little to no faith in the Bills, Browns, Colts, Cardinals, Lions and Raiders. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Of that group, I think the Colts and Lions are the teams that could pull off the win. The Colts just because Andrew Luck could return to God status and the Lions, well, you’re hoping that defensive performance Monday night was a fluke. If it wasn’t then they ain’t winning many game this year.
I spent way too much time figuring out if the Browns were going to beat the Saints but ultimately I couldn’t see them doing to Drew Brees what they did to Big Ben so sadly for Browns fans, they come crashing down after their high of highs.
I’m surprised at how many people are taking Ravens over Bengals tonight. Obviously we won’t have to wait long to see who’s right but come on people, you suddenly really have that much faith in Joe Flacco after he beat up on the worst team in the NFL? I’ll wait till I see Flacco perform against actual NFL talent. Also shoutout to Heath, Clark and I who think the Fitzmagic will continue and the Bucs will beat the Eagles. Never doubt Fitzmagic a second time, that’s what I always say.
