I’m purposely not changing my Houston pick to Indianapolis even though I really want to. LOL

It will remain customary to make all your picks at once prior to the first game but late picks from less than the full slate of six games will be accepted. As to changing picks once made (not including an obvious picking error such as picking a team not on the slate or on a bye week which believe it or not does happen-those can be corrected), that causes problems for tallying the weekly stats I am told. Nevertheless I am sympathetic in certain cases such as when it is not known if a star QB will play or an important player is injured in practice after you pick or Covid returns or several other valid reasons. I am of the view that never allowing changed picks can discourage participation and cause some to wait too long to make their picks and miss the week entirely when something comes up and even worse leave the pool as a result. Therefore the modified rule will be that everyone will be allowed to change one pick in any given week up to two given weeks during the year. Hopefully that will balance the odd valid need to change a pick with the difficulty it causes in calculating the stats. Better to not do so at all but you have your outlet. Please don’t change picks just because and it is still better to wait to post your picks if you are unsure. If you do make a change please reply to your original post and set out all six of your picks including the changed one.

Please no changes just because. It’s a pain in the ass ok.

I feel like after two weeks, I still don’t know some of these teams well given the inconsistent play.

It’s always toughest the first two weeks I think, some teams even another week or two. But it’s starting to become more clear. The thing about the six games is that there will be a lot of movement as the year goes on and great gains or losses in a relatively short time are possible if not likely.

Same for me. Two weeks, two losses, both on those damn Chargers.

I am closing this thread and will post the Week 3 picks thread either later tonight or tomorrow morning. The Thursday game won’t be included so you will all have until Sunday to make your picks this week again as you will most weeks.

I tried to pick six games and post this week’s thread last night but unfortunately the slate is bad, as bad as I have ever seen. I therefore delayed and am hoping that tonight’s games will create at least one more suitable matchup for this week.
