My picks, labeled green for correct, red for incorrect:

  • Washington Commanders beat Green Bay Packers*
  • Jacksonville Jaguars beat Cincinnati Bengals*
  • Dallas Cowboys beat New York Giants
  • Detroit Lions beat Chicago Bears
  • Los Angeles Rams beat Tennessee Titans
  • Miami Dolphins beat New England Patriots*
  • San Francisco 49ers beat New Orleans Saints
  • Buffalo Bills beat New York Jets
  • Seattle Seahawks beat Pittsburgh Steelers*
  • Baltimore Ravens beat Cleveland Browns

  • Minnesota Vikings beat Atlanta Falcons
  • Houston Texans beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers*
  • Los Angeles Chargers beat Las Vegas Raiders
Nine right, seven wrong. I predicted six upsets, and only one of them (Seahawks v. Steelers) panned out. Not a great week, but anything over 50% at this point in the season is more than I'm expecting of myself, for the simple reason that I didn't keep up with things in the off-season and only had really two material opinions (that the Steelers were stupid for going with Aaron Rodgers and that it would cost them; and that the Chiefs shouldn't have cut Carson Steele and that it might cost them).

I'm only at the 48.2nd percentile among players of ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em game. I may start doing a little more research and see if I can improve on that. Or maybe not.  I think my interest in the NFL may be winding down. A poor season for the Chiefs, if that happens, will probably kill it entirely. We'll see.
