What can I say...all is, once again, right in the world.
In what turned out to be an overall difficult week of picks, your humble contest administrator was one of four who managed a meager four of six picks to top the scoring...BUT I was the ONLY competitor to also nail the upset pick thus taking this week's top honors! Yay, me! The upset pick also vaulted yours truly to the top of the overall standings among a logjam of four currently atop the leaderboard with 12 total picks. Again, the bottom two weeks have been vetted out for each contestant indicating an adjusted total.
Of note, and this is pretty impressive, @Papa John is the picture of consistency. He's managed to pick three correct picks every week thus far. It sure makes vetting out his low two weeks pretty simple. If this keeps up, he'll need to change his name from Papa John to Steady Eddie!
The rules are simple:
Choose an outright winner from the four select games of the week
Choose an outright winner from the Packers matchup
Choose an outright upset winner from any weekly matchup
The upset pick can be from the previous five games already in play or any of the other weekly NFL matchups on the schedule, so long as your chosen underdog victor was listed as a kickoff dawg. For reference, a listing of Vegas odds can be found here.
I will maintain a cumulative tally of correct choices with the winner declared at the end of the regular season. You'll get a mulligan for two weeks, be it forgotten picks or a bad week, but the rest are on you. The winner will be declared at season's end for the participant with the most correct picks. In the event of a tie, the participant with the most correct upset picks will be declared the winner.
Need motivation? The winner will receive a special gift from the Packers Pro-Shop from the Mod Team. See? Us Mods aren't all bad...
Now, on to the picks!
The Four:
Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans
Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys
Washington Commanders @ Baltimore Ravens
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Chicago Bears
The One:
Arizona Cardinals @ Green Bay Packers
Your upset pick:
Good luck to all participants!
The running scores are below. The first column under each week indicates total correct picks, the second column your upset pick score.

I was really close to choosing the Giants as my upset. I still think they'll win, but I have more faith the Jags will beat the Bears in London.
And yes, it's an odd world where you admit faith in the Jaguars over another team...

Thank god Vegas bumped them to favorites or I'd have been bit twice by them. Should have known better than to bet on that sorry team.

Just checking in to brag about the great week I had here. I think it was your introductory post @APB.
I was just chillen but y’all shook the tree and the Papa Bear fell out. All I can say is good luck because I’m gonna be whipping some ass up in here from now on out.
If this keeps up, he'll need to change his name from Papa John to Steady Eddie!
