Week 2 of the NFL season is in the history books and....wait a second. If NFL games were in the history books in the 20th Century, I would have probably gone to a better college, but I digress. With 32 games completed, the contributors at BTSC are finding that picking games are more difficult than the marriage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie-Pitt, floundering and distressing to George Clooney.
Now, since I am now a betting man, I'd wager that Mr. Clooney, like all of you, is eagerly anticipating what NFL teams our brainiacs at BTSC are going to pick to win outright this week. But hold your Oscars, let's review our progress so far. For Week 2, Fear94 had some company at the top in the form of Brian Nuckols, 58Steel and Jeff Hartman. Had I not tried to be different and not picked against the Steelers, I would be joining them. Three contributors brought up the rear, but a 7-9 week may get you in the NFL Wildcard, but not in this paragraph. Fear 94 has a two-point lead over Nuckols for Overall bragging rights. But there is a long way to go.
Check out the full standings below:
