Right, all Week 2 picks are in, and the spreadsheet has been updated: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing (click "Week 2" down the bottom if it doesn't load the right screen).
The Wisdom of the Crowd picks this week were:
Jets
Panthers
Ravens
Lions
Chiefs
Patriots
Giants
Steelers
Cowboys
Cardinals
Seahawks
Broncos
Raiders
Chargers
Packers
Eagles
One thing I would appreciate for next week, is that when sending me the picks, you just give me the name of the team you think will win, as it appears in the list i give (e.g. "Patriots", not "New England Patriots", "New England", or "Patriots (1 - 0)". Also, if you could use the order that I put the games in, that would be great as well. Just makes my life easier having to copy / paste them into the spreadsheet!

Tazzycorn's kit selection picks are as follows:
Jets vs Bills. I go with Jets, green and white is distinguished (not just because I’m a Limerick man), and the blue of the Bills jersey is the wrong shade, especially with a strong red.
49ers vs Panthers. I go with Panthers, the current 49ers combination is wrong. And the Panthers kit is probably the nicest of the ones I picked for losing last week.
Cowboys vs Washington. I go with Cowboys. I feel the Washington paraphernalia deeply racist, so no dice. Plus they’re shit.
Bengals vs Steelers. I go with Steelers. I’d nearly go with the Bengals simply because of their home city’s name (hardcore). But there is a way to do tiger stripes, and that is leave them on the shagging tiger.
Saints vs Giants. I go with Saints. Decent beats meh, every day of the week.
Dolphins vs Patriots. I go with Patriots. Meh, however beats aquamarine and orange every day of the week.
Chiefs vs Titans. I go with Chiefs. I spoke last week of my disdain for the Titans’ colour scheme, and red and white are the winningest combination.
Titans vs Lions. I go with Titans. The Lions kit is ok, but the Titans one is good.
Ravens vs Browns. I go with Ravens. Change the colours Browns.
Seahawks vs Rams. I go with Rams. Can’t mess with my colours (even if the Rams are the Franchise FC of American football, and even if picking a team with the same colours as mine is a losing strategy).
Buccaneers vs Cardinals. I go with Cardinals. Less fussy kit. Plus I read somewhere that they were relatively good a small few years ago.
Jaguars vs Chargers. I go with Chargers. See Seahawks vs Rams.
Falcons vs Raiders. I go with Raiders. Less fussy detailing only saved you last week Falcons, plus also up yours for having me think ye won and annoying Tiberius.
Colts vs Broncos. I go with Broncos. I like orange kits, even going so far as to having a soft spot for the really bad Ireland orange away kit of the late 90’s.
Packers vs Vikings. I go with Packers. Classy.
Eagles vs Bears. I go with Eagles. Ok kit.

Sorry about that. I just copied and pasted your list and then deleted what I didn't want. I'll make sure to remove the w-l record next time.
Thanks for doing this. We know you don't have to.

I had two links in my list this week. The first was a picture of Shane Dowling in a really snazzy Limerick kit after the 2013 Munster final. And the other was the wikipedia of Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the sham Cincinnati is named after.

No problem. Honestly it's more annoying when people spell the names wrong, or put them out of order. Removing the w-l record is actually pretty simple, but when people write "Washington" instead of "Redskins" I have to spot it and change it, because the spreadsheet does win/loss calculations based on the name.
I'm not going to penalize people for that though. It's not the end of the world.

Thank your Kirk Cousins for blowing what could have been a 10 point lead by throwing that interception.

Does anyone know if the Ravens won? I was skating and missed the game.
