Week 1 (partial): So, for those of you who don’t know how this game works, we always pick the Thursday, Friday (if any), and Monday games, and there’s a total of six games per week to predict.

Games are determined by the nfl.com official power rankings, where the teams closest in the power rankings will be the games we choose. However, since those rankings are released on Tuesday, we sometimes do not have enough time to pick the Thursday and Friday games, so I usually release them for the following week in advance.

Since we don’t have a week prior to this game, I’m going to show the Thursday and Friday games for this week, and the rest of the week will follow probably on Thursday or Friday at the very latest.

THURSDAY:
Baltimore Ravens (0-0) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (0-0)
Pick:

FRIDAY:
Green Bay Packers (0-) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (0-0)

(REMINDER: check back in this thread later in the week for the Sunday and Monday games).

Thursday- Chiefs
Friday- Packers in an upset

Lots of good games

For those of you who haven't played this game before, I usually try to update scores by Tuesday/Wednesday. And there were some really not so impressive games for the "regular" Sunday games -- they saved the best on Thursday, Friday, and Monday Night this time.

Great

Why is the kick off at 8:40?
Christ, this is ridiculous.

Congrats to those who saw the Chiefs' victory coming.

For those who missed the initial picks for the divisions, you can still play, but you will be a "guest picker" and can't win the whole thing.

Chiefs won by a toe. Maybe a toenail.

Yep

 

[gdgyva]

Both of the games could have gone either way

Looks like a hell of a start to the NFL season

Hoping the injury to Love is nothing....

0 for 2 to start.....oh well

Plenty of time for a comeback. Hope the Love injury is minor

Fidy fidy for me. The Pack couldn't pull it out. Lot more worried about Love now.

It appears to be an MCL sprain. Not season ending.

 

[ldub23]

Can the jets do anything tonight?

 

[PoliSciPulse]

I'm going to start scoring now, but might have to stop if the power rankings come out first, in which case you'll get the next week's games before last week's scores.

…and even in the playoffs, too. Using this format, you can come from last place to tie in first with a couple of great picks and score predictions in the playoffs. (We don't do score predictions until the playoffs just so you know)
