I went with the Saints today over the Bills. We'll have to see how things work out with Jimmy Graham and what kind of difference that will ultimately make. Spiller's injury is the x factor on the Bills side of things. Overall, I think my chances are good at keeping the streak alive.
Well, the streak continues for Grapes, MacNut, and myself. It's interesting to look over the first 8 weeks. We've made very similar picks amongst the three of us. Grapes and MacNut have literally made the same picks 6 out of 8 weeks where as I have only matched up with their choices on two occasions. Overall though, we have all selected to use 5 common teams during the first 8 weeks (Saints, Broncos, 49ers, Seahawks, and Colts). MacNut and I have also both used the Rams, but Grapes did not. Twice I have selected a team with a losing record, once MacNut has selected a team with a losing record, and never has Grapes selected a team with a losing record. None of us have ever chosen a team that was the pre game underdog.
It's going to get increasingly difficult as the weeks continue. As for the rest of the league, 6 other people have only made one bad pick. Although, many seem to not be making picks at this point, so we'll have to see who maintains their interest in playing each week.
Each week I think I feel more pressure when making my Eliminator pick than I feel when setting my fantasy line-ups.

I have done so poorly at this eliminator challenge, that each week I console myself with a Jackalopes win.

You (Mac OS League) and Grapes911 (Hardware League) are the last two undefeated teams across our MR Fantasy Football Leagues. You only share two common players, Jordy Nelson and the 49ers Defense. However, you have similar season performances with Grapes scoring a total of 1105 points for the season and you scoring 1183. I think we'll see Grapes team slow down a bit, where as I'm not sure your team will.

Oops, I mixed those up when typing.
Post corrected, thanks.
The Broncos bye is this week huh? Don't mind me, I'm not going to do anything with that information. *goes to change schedule so that our teams play this week*

That is right, fear the Jackalopes!

I think I'm finally going with the Patriots this week. The Steelers stink and the Patriots will have Aqib Talib back. Also another week to get the offense clicking.
Not getting any easier after this week, though.

Going with the guy who pees sitting down.
Patriots eh ?

If I were to slow down a bit, it should have been this week being that I had 4 starters on bye. But even with a few bad coaching decisions (Bernard and Stacy on the bench), I still managed to score 123 points and have Jordy Nelson going tonight. I need a mere 8 points to go 9-0. It's not guaranteed but I like my chances.
