Ufez got 7 out of 7 locks correct and earned extra points on 4 of them, including an exact spread of Pittsburgh by 17. Nice!

No mention of Kareem Hunt possible without credit being given to the New England run defense for setting the tone for his current stampede.

Near the bottom of the standings here. Checked our EPL league ... ditto. Maybe we could find a rugby league so I could hit the Trifecta of Suck?

I'm afraid to count how many locks I've broken today.

The carnage of broken locks this week is breathtaking. I know I'm in the red.
