NFL Week 10 Update

by TheCommish

We've reached Week 10, when BFIG moves to two picks per week and the fun really begins. Perhaps "chaos" or "obliteration" is a better word than "fun", but, you know, to each their own.

20/22 at the free throw line to put up a SZN-high point total? A dramatically better week of Survivor? Our top OAD pick putting up a dud? There was a lot that went down this week.

PICKS: Week 10

by TheCommish

Commish is currently in Mexico, where everyone seems to think Pacifico plus lime is the same thing as Bud Light Lime. It's infuriating. In other news, the Jets - the Jets! - are our top pick...

Well, it had to come to an end at some point, right?> Dallas laid an absolute egg Monday night, and took out 27% of BFIG and 40% of Second Chance in the process...

PICKS: Week 9

With the Raiders going down Thursday night (5% of BFIG picks), this is already the second most destructive week since Week 3. And our top pick (the Cowboys) resides in what's been BFIG's worst overall division since inception...

Week 9 Update

by TheCommish

Not a single person here would bring the kickoff out of the endzone when down 29-27 to the undefeated Rams with two minutes left in the game and Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback. Right? Commish needs the type of moral support that only 16.5 BLLs can provide...

PICKS: Week 8

We're on an unprecedented four-week tear. Our winning percentage, Weeks 4 through 7: 94.3%, 83.5%, 96.3%, 93.7%. We're at risk of entering the irrational confidence zone, when people go "Pats and Rams - Lock it in" because fear of future difficult picks has evaporated...

PICKS: Week 7

by TheCommish

Commish attended his first Iowa football game yesterday. The Hawkeyes won, 23 donut. Their victory song is about drinking beer. The most famous tailgating human is the Big Ass Turkey Leg guy. But above all this, it was their honorary captain that gave Commish teary eyes and a full football heart...

BFIG vets know the ROMOCOASTER all too well. Pick the Tony Romo-led Cowboys, and you better buckle up. High scoring affairs. Wild finishes. "What the f*** just happened?!?" fourth quarter drama. After Monday night's game, is is time for the Rodgerscoaster?...

PICKS: Week 6

It is my honor to announce that my SZN partner in crime, The GM, got married yesterday. It's my dishonor to announce that @TheGMs_Fiancee is woefully late in changing her username. Also, wins since 2016? Me: 6, The GM: 2, @TheGMs_Fiancee: 36...

Week 5 Update

Hey, pendulum: SWING! This past weekend featured a bunch of overtime finishes, referees Brownsing the Browns, and the team-that-beat-the-Vikings losing 22-donut. It did not feature many BFIG knockouts. Oh, and @footballnovice now has 29 straight BFIG wins...

The Chargers (33%) are our top pick, taking on the no-Jimmys at home. The Chargers are 1-2. The no-Jimmys are 1-2. Commish knows the no-Jimmys no longer have Jimmy, but please remember one of the Golden Survivor Rules: Records matter more than perception...

Week 4 Update

by TheCommish

Well, at least the Second Chance Pool will be a party. The Vikings' pounding at the hands of this year's "Could they even beat Alabama?" team was BFIG's second-worst loss ever by knockout rate. And overall, it was BFIG's third-worst week ever. We went 10-15 in our picks, and 76.1 percent of us lost...

You knew the Browns loss was happening from the moment Zane Gonzales missed his first extra point. We might look back at Week 2 and say "Saints pickers were super lucky" if both teams keep trending as they are. But for now, another Brownsy survivor escape...
