The only people doing this somewhat wrong are the ones telling others they're doing it wrong. Many ways to tremendously enjoy this game, hardly a way not to.
For those new to our game, and those needing a refresher, here is the format of the reveals:
1) Re-posting of the question
2) Revealing of my selection
3) Listing of # of correct entrants / # of incorrect entrants
4) Determining scores for incorrect answers
5) Listing of incorrect answers, from "worst" to "best"
6) Listing of unplayed aces (if any)
7) Listing of correct answers, starting with the SHEEP, and going in descending value
8) Updated standings
Each reveal should be 2 hours or so, some might drag into a 3rd hour.
Over 75% of the field is correct today, and I am in that majority. But my answer is a little more popular than I would have liked.
This team managed a 1-point win on Sunday, thanks solely to some questionable coaching decisions made by Zac Taylor. But a win is a win, and it's always nice to begin with a right answer. Still perfect!
JMurder3 can verify that my Week 1 choice was the Seattle Seahawks.
Today, we have 62 entrants starting off with a right answer, and 19 beginning with a wrong answer.
The 19 incorrects took 7 separate wrong teams.
Last year, BillNye joined THE CLUB in Week 1. Today, 2 new game members join our Hall of Shame.
After that, the other 5 incorrect teams will be listed in order of their margin of loss in Week 1, starting with the highest total (18), and ending with the 2 teams that tied in Week 1.
#1 (Week 1) - Name a team that lost its season-opener in 2018, that will win theirs in 2019
This AFC North team began 2019 with a big win over an AFC East opponent. Unfortunately, they did the same thing in 2018. Making them ineligible for this question.

This AFC South squad began 2018 with three losses, before eventually winning the division. After a back-and-forth game Monday night, it turns out Vader was denied an ace thanks to the right foot of Wil Lutz. And the brain of Bill O'Brien.....
