I can't remember the last time I actually won a week (maybe one last year or even the year before that).
Sometimes it all comes down to the way that oddly shaped ball bounces but other times it has more to do with knowing your subject matter. I think most of us fall in the middle.

I'm still clinging by my fingernails just to stay in the pack. That being said, I usually start off worse than this, so maybe it's a good sign.

After reviewing the latest composites again I see that only Cleburne and I have no additional points awarded.
I'm guessing it's because we both use the same deodorant or something.

I just don't have a feel for teams this year...waffling too much, using my heart: like 2 picks v NE. I was ready to throw in the towel this week, but, hey, I run the thing so better hang...(my picks will be EXTREMELY conservative this week, as I think, will everyone's-so I wouldn't be surprised if we had another 9 way tiebreak...)

I need to just let go of 'loyalty' to anything but picks. The Browns and Cardinals are not reliable enough to always pick 'principle'.
