GAMEWEEK 8 PREDICTIONS
Okay, we're back, and I'm gonna fuckin' put in an effort and tabulate some results before I get into the fun part.
I'm going to leave calculating winning percentage to a time when I have more free time because I wanna redo it, table it up and have a better number.

had two of his least amazing weeks but he still managed to take away a star (alongside myself) last week with a ballsy Bengals pick against the Ravens.
ThatStupidLion
being his usual slack self has nevertheless got 2 stars after a clear win in gameweek 6 - he got 10 picks right.

our latecoming savant has had high average scores but hasn't managed to win either gameweek
Aite, to the picks!
Hoooly shit.
Cardnals - Packers - I rather feel that all signs point to a Cards win here, and with Adams out I'm going with it.
Falcons - Panthers - The Falcons got a couple of wins in the last three gameweeks when I didn't back them, I feel like this is, again, a contest that's close enough for them to win. I'll have to double check injuries.
Colts -
Titans - It'd be a brave man to bet against the Titans, but I'd have said the same about the Ravens last week. Still. I'll double check the Colts' run D.
Bills - Dolphins - Well this is a pretty easy pick to make, methinks, even in this world of brave upsets by underdogs.
Jets -
Bengals - I'm not aware of Wilson's knee condition, I'll check that soon, but even if he is playing I don't see the Bengals failing here.
Browns -
Steelers - This is probably because I'm as close to a Stilluhs fan as I am any team, god I love those helmet stripes... They've also got WATT?! and should be more effective against the less experienced Browns runners.
Lions - Eagles - It's picks like this that cost me winning totals, but dammit the Lions have got to get it together some time and the Eagles aren't looking crash hot. I think Goff will have a comeback of sorts from 2 flat weeks.
Texans -
Rams - Not a hard pick, either.
Bears -
49ers - I think Jimmy G will bounce back. They may be missing Kittel though...
Chargers - Patriots - I wanna go for another one of these teams I'm basically a fan of, but the Chargers are one of the fire teams this season. I DO think the Pats are getting better every week.
Seahawks -
Jaguars - This is an emotional pick, I just want Lawrence to have some fun... Still hard to back Geno.
Saints -
Buccaneers - I've had Michael Thomas on my fantasy bench since week 1 expecting him to be back by now, but even if he were to come back fully fit and on fire I don't think the Saints could play a clean enough game.
Broncos -
Washington - I dunno, very tough pick, I prefer Washington's weapons. QB Heinquarters to come good(ish).
Vikings -
Cowboys - The Cowboys will fail, eventually, but it is not this day. (Well, that day)
Chiefs - Giants - Closer game than y'all may be expecting. I have to examine this fixture because Mahomes may be injured.
Good moooorning U-S-A! Let's gooooo!
