NFL 2016 Pick'em League!

[Brian37]

Holy fuck did I blow my picks this week.

I sunk below .500. Man, I'm erratic.

The difference in tying for third and falling to 6th (for me) is the Colts/Texans game.

Having just checked the score, hello 6th place.

ETA:
Holy shit, the Texans have battled back. But, why the fuck did they kick a field goal on 2nd & 13 with over 8 minutes left?!?

ETFA:
Never mind. I didn't see it was OT. Now it makes sense.

Man, what happened to the Colts in the second half?

Didn't want to risk an interception or a fumble. Trusted their kicker to get it in from the 15.

Man, what happened to the Colts in the second half?

Pagano is a sucky coach
Luck isn't as good as his hype
Their defense that's been weak for several years now

The Colts are quickly becoming one dimensional.  They don't have much of a running game (last night was the team's first decent running effort in forever), and if TY Hilton is double covered, the supporting cast isn't enough to get it done.

I mean, they only scored 23 on a Watt-less Texans defense.  The Patriots, with their friggin' 3rd string QB, scored 27 on mostly running plays, and that was with Watt in for part of the game.

Stats? Next week's picks?

[Tiberius]

Will get them out tonight. I've been at work event away from my laptop since about 6 am this morning.
