Loser League, Week 1

Post by Mick » Wed Sep 06, 2023 4:16 pm

We usually do this and steelers score. I’m not one to organize things in general, but it seemed worth having a League thread up sooner than later as the Chiefs are at home tomorrow night and most of the good teams this week have road games.

In this League, you pick a different team to lose each week; if and when the team you pick wins, you are eliminated. If you want to participate, post a Week 1 pick below. Assumptively someone organized will keep track of who picked who and who is still alive prior to posting a thread for Week 2.

And I'll also take Houston to lose.

I know it's a cop out, but I'm going with the Lions. I was gonna pick the stains, regardless of Watson. I think they will implode. But I have to admit I haven't been following teams like other years. . .

Is now a good time to tell you that Chris Jones and Travis Kelce probably aren't playing tomorrow? :D

Ha! I still think goff is a bit overrated and the chiefs don't need kelce to win against the lions. Ehh on jones. I dunno. Should I go with the brownies?

Well.....Browns have beaten the Bengals in 5 of their last 6 and Burrow has been hurt all preseason.

I've been reading way too many Week 1 previews.

Arizona could play a high school team and I'd pick them to lose.

Clearly.

Week one is the most difficult, imo. You just don't know what you're going to get, yet.
