2023 NFL Week 18 picks and discussion | CBCS Comics

@Jesse_O Thanks, brother! It occurs to me that this game for Minnesota was sort of a microcosm of their season: the beginning and the end kind of sucked, but they looked pretty good in the middle. I think the Vikings will be back in the thick of things next year. It was mostly about the injuries this season. I am interested to see what they do about the QB position moving forward.

I am also interested in what the Bears are going to do at the QB position. Fields has proven (to me, at least)that he can possibly turn into a legitimate NFL QB. He made some throws over the last half of the season. It is at least worth considering keeping Fields and cashing in that first overall pick for what would doubtless be substantial draft capital. If they go that route they need to prioritize upgrading the O-Line to give Fields a fair chance. Or is there a QB coming out this year that they feel is a can’t miss prospect?

It’s going to be an interesting off season in the NFC North

@Jesse_O A big thank you for hosting the NFL Picks, keeping us on schedule, maintaining the peace, and being a true fan of the sport!

@zdoes10 Great job on tracking. Pre-kids, I was a commish for a couple leagues (work, buddies, etc.) for about 2 decades, even before online, when we reserved a room and had to white board everything and hope that no one erased our progress (including the janitor), pulling our numbers from a literal hat for our draft orders, and deciphering our progress from our haphazard notes and constant bantering. Many thanks!

Much appreciated, and hope that we can continue next season with the same group of players!

@flanders @HAmistoso Thanks for the positivity! And keeping it real!!

@michaelekrupp For 2nd Place! @Pre_Coder For 3rd Place!! It might not feel like a win, but you and other folks have really good instincts. As they say, "Any given Sunday!!!"

Atlanta burned me a lot this season, so did my loser Colts. Damn! Fun but Damn still...

@Surf75 On ESPN and other expert sites, your accuracy still puts you in the top 20 among the "Pros". I try not to get too hung up on numbers, but it functions as a barometer of how I am doing. Every week is a game of inches...or a pit of quick sand

Good job and you should consider being a sports book as a side hustle

@drmccoy74 Thanks for the kinds words. It's only fun if the side hustle doesn't infringe on my main job. At one point, I was in 9 fantasy leagues, 11 picks, and 5 office pools. Friends who couldn't finish their season started dumping their teams for me to play. I was getting text at 3 AM for picks. I was like, "No mas!". Then I had kids and real life got in the way. I have been out for about a decade, so starting last year, this forum is just right to scratch the football itch.

...Now to claim my prize! And thanks to everyone for a fantastic regular season!!
