Even though I made up some ground in the Confidence league I am still a middle of the pack runner.
So the only thing I can gloat about is:
Saints are 5-1!!!
There I feel better now…

Looks like we all did pretty bad. I really had a feeling there’d be some underdogs winning this week, but I picked completely the wrong ones. After seeing the Saints I’ve realized I’ve been hurting myself picking against them.

Don’t you go cursing them **fetus** by starting to pick them now.
I think I have developed OCD since they have been winning this season.

If anyone told me that I’d be leading the spread category six weeks into the season, I’d have busted myself up inside laughing. Yet, there I am, despite never having won any week. Might as well brag while I have the chance.

I normally pick seperate picks in my survival leagues in order to not get wiped out by one bad week. But as I was going through the games, I did not like a single game still available to me except Jacksonville. So I broke with that policy, and picked Jacksonville. Seemed like a lock.
WTF?
There go all my survival leagues.

We went from week 1 to 5, only losing 2 people to incorrect picks in the survival league.
This week, we lost 8. There are 3 survivors. At least I’m not alone in the Jacksonville pick.
In the event that we all get wiped out and a winner is crowned, we can reset the league and start over again.

Cripes, was a bucket of suck today was.
It got to the point that I almost wanted Washington to win, just so we could say “Fine, Chitwood wins the Survivial pool…now let’s reset it”.

Sweet. It’s down to three of us now.
Not that it makes up for the mounds of suckitude my fantasy team put up today. Thank you very much Jacksonville and Washington for crapping the bed.

I should’ve bolded Stuffy’s picks in the spread league. He won the tiebreakers.
