ESPN Simulates NFL Season 20,000 Times: The ESPN Football Power Index (not sure what that is but it sounds important) ran 20,000 simulations of the NFL season and decided to write about one in which the Jacksonville Jaguars make the playoffs, the Seattle Seahawks start 0-9, the Indianapolis Colts have the NFL's best record and the Super Bowl winner is a first timer.

Only Boaz had the Steelers beating the Bills, while nine players locked Buffalo and took one in the nards. Jjzucal scored a perfect lock on Seahawks by 12.
Will there be another week this season where 16 players pick the Jaguars? On behalf of Duuuuuuval I apologize.

Marlon Humphrey had an interception in his hands last night and didn't realize it.

I can't think of anything in the Open era (1968-) to compare to this. She didn't win it on a fluke, either. She was completely dominant.
My sister flew to New York City to see early rounds (and was part of the crowd caught in the hurricane). I've never watched the US Open as much as I have Wimbledon, but this was a great time. There's nothing better than a close match that reaches the final set before a fired-up Open crowd. Leylah Fernandez had several of them in a row.

No monday night pick em?
Thanks for catching that. I've fixed the bug that caused Monday night's Ravens at Raiders game to be omitted from the form.
Everyone should return to the form and make a pick in that game.

My picks:
Buccaneers by 9The Trevor Lawrence-led Jaguars couldn't ask for a gentler introduction to the AFC South. The Titans are mighty but the Colts and Texans both have giant question marks at quarterback. I am hoping for 6, nay 7, wins.

I want one of these for the EFL. I think it would have to start with Preston North End in 1888-89, the first season of the Football League. They were the only team never to lose that year, finishing with 18 wins and four draws. If they beat everybody once, any other opening day champion would've given it to them.

I couldn't figure out why a guy named Mark had possession of a holiday weekend in Canada.
Montreal by 9. No Abdul Kenneh means no joy in Ottawa.
Winnipeg by 7
Hamilton by 4. I will always get this team confused with the ThunderCats.
Edmonton by 10

CFL Pick 'Em, Week Seven
Calgary by 6, giving Hamilton its first home loss since November 2018.
Saskatchewan by 7, though I seem to lose more points on Toronto games than any other team.
B.C. by 7. I want to play CFL Fantasy Football just so I can draft Lucky Whitehead
Winnipeg by 10, and I hope Elks fans are calling their new quarterback Yukon Cornelius.
The lean on the league's official pickem:
Calgary 60%
Saskatchewan 79%
Montreal 58%
Winnipeg 91%
