2017 NFL Pick 'Em and Discussion

From Reddit: "Last time a bunch of Brits watched Baltimore get shelled that hard, Francis Scott Key wrote a song about it."

@glux

GET IN HERE

AND GIMME YOUR IND/CLE PICK, GOTDANGIT

Oops... how'd i miss it?
Id be stupid to pick CLE, so I'll go with the Colts.

[March]

I'm a broken man.

[Auron]

I knew how bad it was, but I still underestimated how badly Rex Ryan ruined the Bills defense. Apparently they can still play.

So what do I know? I'm flipping coins for everything next week.

Aside from New England. They always seem to win games that they probably shouldn't have any business winning. I hate them more than words can describe.

Sorry man, can't take that pick when the game was already late in the second half at that point.

i really shouldn't still be upset but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

Same. Like, it's cool that we kept within 4 points of last year's SB runners-up. It proves a lot about this team. But wtf.

And then the rest of the division wins, including a Packers comeback and OT. Puke.

WEEK 3 UPDATE
Everything you know is wrong!

Standings
1 @Calamity Panfan 100%
1 @Heroine of the Dragon 100%
3 @Gumchum 50%
4 @glux 33.3%
4 @Marilink 33.3%
4 @smol Kat 33.3%
4 @Auron 33.3%
4 @March 33.3%

Notes:
-Lot of us fell to 33.33 (repeating of course) percent today. Mostly because nothing made sense this week.
-How the Jags blew the Ravens out that badly is still a mystery to me. Blake Bortles? Sorry, kat.
-How the Bills beat the Broncos after the Broncos destroyed the Cowboys also doesn't make sense to me. Enjoy your 2-1 Bills, Auron.
-How the Jets beat literally anyone this season is a similar enigma. RIP Dyl
-HotD continues to impress with her 100% accuracy so far despite never having watched a game of American Football. That's not an insult--that's amazing.
-Panfan and March finally agreed, and now everyone is sad.
-Basically the Chiefs/Chargers game was the only one that actually made sense this week. Congrats to glux.

MEMBER MATCH-UPS
This week, HotD goes up against March and Panfan. All 3 picked the Vikings to win, but both Panfan and March would rather be wrong.

That's great.
...Where we used to live, there's a **** baseball team called the Keys. Hmmmmm......

Wait, what about Cowboys/Cards? :o maybe some of us will be right about that one??????

yeaaaaah I've taken to blasting this song every time the Cheatriots win.

[Gumchum]

If it makes you feel any better Kat, LOLphins.

[smol Kat]

^It really doesn't, I just feel bad for you. :(

Also I'm watching my first game of the season and it's not even teams I'm really invested in ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You specifically said darts... *points to faerie-inspired dart board* Enough said.
