Saw that. Are changes to picks allowed prior to kick off? Or prior to the first game of the week (Thurs night?). Wondering about my Ravens pick.

btw - thanks for running this for us.

Sure thing.

Yes, changes up to the point of kickoff for the game in question is permitted. The earlier the change the easier to track, but the final cutoff is kickoff.

You convinced me. Stroud playing better, Jackson out. I’ve just doomed the Texans.

It’s an impressive defense against a misfiring offense without their leader. I may make that change myself.

TBD.

Ok. I’m switching my pick to the Texans.

I don’t think the Ravens will be (as) motivated. Rush is a different type of QB than Jackson so I don’t think offense will click. Texans should be hungry for a win, and licking their chops.

Separate note - Shadeur “turning down” the Ravens, looks like a huge missed opportunity for him now.

RB1 is out.

I’ve got my stage win this season, so I’m rolling the dice on my Champ’s Choice. The Vikings are only 2-2 and it’s a neutral site game–Go Browns! The Jets are due for a win against the 1-2-1 Boys at home–Go Jets! My other 2 AFC pics are favored.

I believe you are alone on Niners Island. Good luck tonight.

QB1 Mac Jones has arrived in Los Angeles.

Champ’s Choice:
Which conference wins the most interconference games this week (AFC vs NFC)? NFC

IMO the toughest call this week is the GOTW - Bucs v Seahawks. Seattle is -3 as of Thursday afternoon, but Mayfield has played well so far this season. I’m taking the Seahawks at home, but I would not be shocked if the Bucs pull off a late drive to win it.

Same. Home field advantage was my tie breaker.

I don’t know if Mike Evans is healthy yet either. He’s a difference maker.

THAT home field in particular.

Evans didn’t practice today. But if he is miraculously cleared to play, I would consider changing my pick.

Rams tonight.

Will update rest of picks here.

Gotta remember to get back to there before Sunday… Not that it really has mattered much…

Ha. I hear you. That was a major factor in my decision to go with Seattle as I expect that it can be a close game.

It’s also a throwback uniform matchup, royal blue vs the creamsicle whites. Best uniform set of the season on Sunday.
