Patrons of the McCown-Fitzpatrick Spectacle,
Commish is in Mexico. Hola. Futbol Americano, por favor, con todos los Bud Light Limon. TODOS!
Things are about to get wild. We're now in two picks per week territory. Extra special facts and analysis coming right up...
WEEK 10 PICKS AND FAST FACTS
group pages show you picks for just that group
YourFAST FACTS:
- The Detroit Lions garnered a stunning 89 percent pick rate
- Commish is pretty sure that's the highest pick rate in BFIG history (minimum 20 pickers)
- With two picks staring us down for the first time this year, we went flailing and screaming into the weak, mistake-riddled, winless arms of the Cleveland Browns (Detroit's opponent today).
- Given the Browns' next three opponents are scarcely picked teams (JAX, CIN, LAC), it's likely that BFIG 2017's storyline will mirror 2016's: We go as far as the Brownsyness takes us.
- The other major percentage story is BFIG and Second Chance's separation on pick #2. BFIG is on the Rams (home against Houston) at a still-staggering 62 percent, while Second Chance sits much lower at 39 percent.
- Most of that difference: The Steelers. 13 percent of BFIG is on Pittsburgh - largely because most have already picked the Steelers - while Second Chance is double that, at 26 percent.
- Put BFIG 1 and 2 together, and nearly 60 percent of all remaining title belt combatants are on Lions-Rams.
- Commish can't help but think back to 2009 - BFIG's inaugural year - when the Lions went 2-14 and the Rams went 1-15. Those two were solely responsible for allowing a pool all of 46 people deep to go the full 17 weeks.
- Since 2009, Green Bay is 15-3 against Chicago. Since 2009, the Bears have beaten the Packers at home ONCE (2010). The 2017 Bears are 3-5.
- ... and 6 percent of BFIG, in Week 10 and with $50,000 on the line, picked the Bears over the Packers at home.
- Before the season started, this would have been the most unbelievable pick stat of them all.
- But now it's not even worth a Moxie...
- *Commish pours out 37 consecutive BLLs*
