Falcons 35, Chiefs 28

Honestly, it’ll probably be the Patriots, but I’m taking a risk since everyone else is picking them.

You say sleeper, I say run the table.

Packers 31, Patriots 21.

Seahawks 28, Patriots 17

I’m voting with my heart instead of my head this year. I honestly don’t feel very confident about the Seahawks, but I’m going to have faith.

No Texans picked yet, even as an underdog?

Would be a home stadium game, but yeah, not even midseason last year’s Oswiler could pull that off.

Raiders and Dolphins have nobody picking as a long shot so far, either.

Patriots 44, Falcons 42.

**AncientHumanoid** , I can’t see the Texans getting past the Patriots in Foxboro. Or at home, for that matter. I do think they’ll beat the Carr-less Raiders handily, though very ugly.

Though I still admire the Texans’ boldness in going after Osweiler, **Hamlet** was right as rain when he said at the time that it was a very silly decision by the team. I disagreed, and boy, was I wrong.

Not sure that Trubisky, or anyone else they should be looking at in the bottom of Round 1, is going to be the answer either. Sigh.

That’s much closer to result I _wanted_ to make. The only reason I didn’t was, as I said in my OP, that the pick I made has won this for me twice before. Of course, that’s because I was the only one to pick NYG over NE.

So basically, if you win, I’m going to be so goddamn pissed off at you.

(Of course, that’ll be tempered by the Giants whupping up on the Pats again.)

**Steelers 35, Green Bay Packers 22**

I must vote for the Steelers if I wish to remain sleeping in the house. And the man cave/car shop is just too cold.

Unless they wear those stupid Bumble Bee uniforms, then someone can just kick their asses.
