It is important to read all 25 questions thoroughly, even re-read them if the spirit moves you. BillNye's pick lost badly in Week 1, but they weren't a viable option after starting 0-1 last year (even though they led for three quarters in Detroit). But after watching the Lions last night, does that even say much?

Our first incorrect of 2018 is.....

INCORECT ANSWER - The Arizona Cardinals

2017 Week 1 - Arizona 23 @ Detroit 35
2018 Week 1 - Washington 24 @ Arizona 6

HOW SLOPPY WAS THAT?

JMurder3 can verify that my Week 1 selection was the Oakland Raiders.

At this time, I will note Baltimore and Green Bay. They were the only 2 teams that started 1-0 last year and went unguessed for this question.

In Week 1, Baltimore won by 44, while Green Bay won by 1.

But which game did you enjoy more?

Last year, 17 teams started off 1-0 (15 Week 1 winners, while both Tampa Bay & Miami won their openers in Week 2).

Of those 17 teams, only 5 lost their openers this season.

The 44 correct entrants took all 5 possible correct answers.

There are no unplayed aces in Week 1. Congratulations!

As indicated, we have a pair of 13-point SHEEPs today. These teams met in SB XXVII, and again in SB XXVIII.

First, this team lost VERY VERY BADly on Sunday. They weren't MASTERS OF THEIR DOMAIN. Maybe their TOE THUMBS got in the way?

Not that's there's anything wrong with that!

We were treated to another 2 picks from Nathan Peterman. I would rather see Jacopo Peterman play QB. I'M DEAD SERIOUS. GET JOHN O'HURLEY UNDER CENTER RIGHT NOW.

13 of you yada yada yadaed your way to a correct answer with.....

I'll do a $20 who finishes higher with you pope on one condition:

That you're willing to collect from A.Schwartz since he owes me $20.

Actually I've got a better deal than that for you:

If you win then you collect $20 from A.Schwartz and if I win then you collect the $20 from him and ship it to me (I'll eat the PayPal fees on the transaction)

Our other SHEEP's first game was a lot closer. But they still lost.

For the first time since 2014, this team's first game wasn't at home to the Giants (but that is in Week 2. Maybe the schedule makers need to mix it up a little?)

They held their opponents to 16 points, but still lost. They have no Romo, no Bryant, and no Witten, and had no hope in Week 1.

Who shot J.R.? Kristin? Can she play quarterback?
