Yeah, if Tua is traded to the Redskins, they are playing him immediately. That division is still in reach atm.

Changed one of my picks after viewing the injury report. Never like doing that, but it was an upset toss up anyway. Better to be safe imo.

Tua to return against the Jags in London. If they can be 2-3 when he returns, that would put them in a good place considering the schedule is much easier from there.

I don't think any of us have identical picks for this early set of games, probably the first time that's happened so far. I'm slightly regretting taking Detroit over Chicago but Chicago had looked awful in their games and Detroit has been pretty competitive.

I'm regretting switching to the Dolphins. lol Colts had like five or six starters out and another five or six that were questionable. I initially picked them because starting 0-4 would end their season, but man, they are blowing out the Dolphins.

I'm not even going to pretend like I almost picked the Jets with both AJ Brown and Julio Jones out for the Titans, but I wish I had thought of it.

I actually was thinking about it. lol

I kept telling my folks that they had no weapons with all their injuries. But come on, that is way to risky.

I?m surprised the Giants beat the Saints, didn?t see that happening.

Not surprised Matt Ryan threw 4 Touchdowns and almost 300 yards, I saw that coming. Didn?t see Heineke doing almost as well plus getting yardage on the ground at over 8 yards a carry. The Heineke fairy tale continues for another week. The rumor was that if Heineke played bad tonight Tua would be signed on Monday. Not so sure Washington management will be so keen to pull the trigger on Tua if they keep winning with Heineke. Last weeks game doesn?t look so bad now after theBills have just blown away this weeks opponent 40-0 and the Chargers game was reasonably close and they are also looking like Super Bowl contenders. The downside is the two teams they beat they scraped by and Chase Young still doesn?t have a sack.

I?m disappointed Miami lost, I had high hopes for them this season. I personally think the DeShawn Watson was too much of a distraction for the team. Tua doesn?t know where he stands which must affect his confidence in games I would have thought. It can?t be nice knowing you are not wanted and will be disposed of as soon as another player becomes available

Derrick Henry trampled all over the Jets for 157 yards and the Titans still lost, has to be the shock of the week, even without their star wide receivers you had to think they would win comfortably.

Chicago done well to bounce back after the hammering they took last week.

I?m disappointed Miami lost, the DeShaun Watson circus has affected that team. They?ll be lucky to make the playoffs.

Tua wasn't playing, but that's still kind of a disappointing loss for Miami. Indy was due for a win though.

Not sure why Washington would trade for a fragile and currently injured Tua when Heinecke has shown just as much upside without the injury concern. The defense seems to be the bigger issue there.

Well, Mike, you might got this week. Bridgewater and Jimmy G went down to injury, and the Niners also lost their kicker to a pregame injury.

I saw Gould wasn't playing. Did they say what happened to him?

I'm guessing he pulled something during warm ups. It hurt them, but not as much as losing Jimmy G. Seahawks quickly outscored the 49ers after he went down, Lance couldn't do much against them. Similar to Lock with the Broncos. I'm not saying the games would've flipped if they didn't get hurt, but I have to think they would've been much closer. Happens.

Yeah I saw Lance had the 1 TD on a massive blown coverage but didn't see that he did much else.

Yeah, he has quite a ways to go. He is definitely raw.

I'm really conflicted about tonight's pick. I can see it going either way.

Honestly, I'm already looking at next week. lol

Chargers like to shoot themselves in the foot with penalties. Raiders have won 2/3 in OT. It can go either way.

I went with Vegas. I was feeling a little dangerous.

Chargers won.

Question is: Will they keep it rolling next week against the Browns?

Toughest defense for them yet since the Redskins did not play up to par against them in Week 1.

Crazy week in tipping from all of us. Well done Mike.

Mike's Detroit & Las Vegas upset picks fell through, but his Seattle pick did. The key was that he was fairly conservative when compared to the rest of us.

Warrior's Miami and Denver upset picks both fell through. Stunning picks, but you've got to be willing to be brave sometimes.

My Atlanta and Minnesota upset picks both fell through. Very annoyed with Minnesota. When you keep the opposition to 14 points, at home, when you've regularly scored 30+ points this season, you should not be walking away with an L.

Dennis's Atlanta, Miami, Minnesota, and Denver upset picks all fell through. Dennis's tipping was basically me & Warrior combined... Very unlucky.

So far only 3 points separates 1st and 4th, and that would've been even closer if not for Dennis's misfortune this week. I'm worried that Warrior is already within 1 point of the lead. I can sense that he wants his crown back xD

Knew I should've went with the chargers last night. Oh well. Remember there's a whole extra week's worth of games this year.

Matt: I originally had the Dolphins, but I switched after the injury report came out. There is no excuse for the Dolphins losing that game when the colts were down 1/4 of their starters. It was horrible effort. Thank goodness our schedule is quite easy when Tua returns after next week. We should be competitive in all of our games outside of the Bills.

Mike: There was a moment the tide almost turned last night, but the Chargers fended them off.
