Well here we are, nine weeks into the season. We're starting to see some trends take hold. And we're rethinking things from the beginning of the season.

I stay believing in unicorns. I had Tampa and St Louis both winning last week. My Tampa pick looked like a decent bet but I've yet to be correct while picking them to win this year.

My personal NFL fanhood came into play in last week's Weekly Scrimmage. The first two weeks were pretty painful. I watched a team that I had hoped would compete for the divisional title lose to back up quarterbacks. And then they played the Falcons. Welp.

Week 2 of the NFL was a week of upsets. I was upset that so many of my picks did not go well. And I was upset my Buccaneers lost to another backup quarterback on a bad team.
