All he wanted was to fade quietly into memory, but history refuses to let him alone.
With just two days and a few hours to spare before the Hall of Fame game, now in his eighth year, we welcome back Vorian_Atreides (975-825-8 54.1%). In doing so he has secured one COFP award. Use it wisely.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one - the Bills buffalo their way through their schedule with 15 buffalonian wins. The Eagles and Seahawks wings are clipped but still manage three wins each.
As noted, having entered before the HOF-game, Vorian_Atreides will receive One COFP to used at his discretion.

AFC East
Bills 15 2

Dolphins 6 11
Patriots 5 12

Would be cool to include Adam Rank’s full schedule picks from NFL Network for comparison. But I don’t know a good way to get the info aside from watching the full video and writing it all down.
Welcome back to 2021 Defending Champion and new Hall of Famer, now in his 8th year, Carrie’s Carebears. He boasts a lifetime record of 1079-722-7 59.9%.
The Bengals, Bills, & Chiefs show the strength of the AFC by only losing one game each. The Texans, Giants, & Seahawks round out the bottom of their conference and league by mustering just one win each.
No more free COFPs - now you’ve got to get them the old fashioned way.

AFC East

All aglow again
Taking a chance on picks
Early morning shout out to 6th year player, @redearedslider (757-532-7 58.7%). His favorite team is the Eagles at 15-2. The Texans and Falcons string together four miserable wins in an otherwise forgettable season.

Gave up on the picking by hand method and decided to create a formula… let’s see if this changes up the streak… and 3rookie is now going to tie me weekly since he got in 20 minutes before me for tiebreakers!
“In” he his. We welcome back 12th year veteran, ldancer911 (1621-1200-11 57.4%). The Seahawks aren’t feeling the love of the 12s, though. The Ravens & Cowboys are all that plus two more.

He feels witty…oh, so wittty…and somehow thinks there’s a team named “Redskins” . I guess that’s what happens when this is only your 8th year playing this game & you’ve managed a record of 1059-742-7 (58.8%). Some of those details can pass you by…just like the Bills & 49ers are going to pass by the rest of the league with their Big 13 wins…and then there’s the Browns, the skid mark of the NFL.

The intern has requested that you go back to the “by hand” method since your formula is, well, not quite fubar, but definitely not giving the results you intend.
For Week 18, Buccaneers@Falcons, instead of BuccaneersRams you’ve been assigned Buccaneers as your pick. For Titans@Jaguars, instead of Ravens, you’ve been given Titans.
For Weeks 19-36, your picks have been ignored except to supplement and correct your Week 18 picks.
In the meantime, a big welcome back to the THREE TIME CHAMPION and current owner of the ALL TIME BEST RECORD, rejoining KidRock & PatientZombie in the Overly-Seasoned Veterans Committee as a fourteen-year player, please welcome back, TheArbitrary (2062-1270-12 61.8%).
His formulary of secret blend of herbs and spices has chosen the Bengals & Buccaneers to have nearly-perfect seasons. The Falcons, however, achieve perfection, surpassing the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns for most losses in a season.
TheArbitrary’s Predicted Standings:
AFC East
Bills 14 3
Dolphins 9 8
Patriots 9 8
Jets 3 14
AFC North
Bengals 16 1
Ravens 12 5
