Lots of surprising results this week. After their fair performance against Green Bay in week 1, I expected the Jaguars to easily defeat the Chargers, but hey. Also, what the fuck happened to Seattle? 3 points?!? Against the RAMS?!?
In any case, this week's winner will be determined by the final game. If the Eagles win, Tazzycorn (who chose all the winners based on their kit) will walk away with a 12 - 4 victory. If the Bears win, The Gentleman Bastard will get the 12 - 4 record.
There are a lot of people close to ending the week with a losing record, and unfortunately c172 is guaranteed to walk away with at best a 6 - 10 record if the Bears win.

So, in other words, I really sucked this week.

Steady as she goes, just barely above .500 this week.

A 10 - 5 record isn't bad.

Crap, I need the Eagles to win just to hit .500 for the week.
I'm seriously considering the "pretty uniform" approach to week 3.

So, basically after two weeks, choosing on incidentals like form, history, which players are better, which offences/defences work better gives spotty* results, whereas choosing based on important stuff, like which team looks the snazziest beats the average.
Thought so.

Are teams good because their kits are good, or do good teams choose good kits?

The Seahawks losing to the Rams is the reason I don't bet or play fantasy league .Too many variables,

Their luck isn't improving either: Seahawks nailed again for offseason violations, fined and lose pick
Quote:The team was fined $400,000, and will lose a week of OTAs next season, along with their 2017 fifth-round pick. Coach Pete Carroll will also be fined $200,000, and the team will have to pay players for the OTAs which are cancelled next year.
