Shame.

Howdy, y'all. Not much changed on the BRB Pick 'Em leaderboard since the league drops your lowest current score. Well, nothing except that I plummeted down to 80 out of 85. It was a busy week and I forgot to input my picks... yeah, we'll go with that.

28 Mbw (Matt Weston) 65 52 8-8

I'll give our boy Matt Weston some attention for being the top BRB writer on the board (unless I'm missing an alias). He lobbied for me to use the spread this year, and so far he's had some success with it.

The Picks

You should print these out... if only for the symbolic gesture of wadding up the piece of paper and throwing it away.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons (-6.5)

San Diego Chargers @ Buffalo Bills (-2.0)

Tennessee Titans @ Cincinnati Bengals (-7.0)

Baltimore Ravens (-1.5) @ Cleveland Browns

Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions (-2.5)

Dallas Cowboys (-1.0) @ St. Louis Rams

Oakland Raiders @ New England Patriots (-14.0)

Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints (-10.5)

Houston Texans (-2.5) @ New York Giants

Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles (-6.5)

Indianapolis Colts (-7.0) @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Kansas City Chiefs @ Miami Dolphins (-4.0)

Denver Broncos @ Seattle Seahawks (-5.0)

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Carolina Panthers (-3.5)

Chicago Bears @ New York Jets (-2.5)

Survival League Pick: New Orleans Saints over Minnesota Vikings

Yes, the Patriots are the heavier favorites, but I'm suspicious of picking them this early in the season. They lost a home game against the Arizona Cardinals two years ago and knocked me out in Week 2. I'll wait for them to be in midseason form.

Good luck this week! Be sure to make your picks here and here.
