Glad to see the Texans win my last Survivor ticket without drama, and both of my spread bets winning. This puts me in the black in NFL this season -- finally.

I went 2-0, +1.93 units. so now I'm 7-7, +1.43 units overall.

As I mentioned before, with all the late-and-close losses, I've actually picked a lot better than that, so I feel like I've got a good shot at finishing this season a winner.

I'll disagree on two points:

1) I saw no real regression by Rodgers in terms of actually throwing the football. He can no longer run as he did, but his boots and sprint-outs seem fine. Stats are just stats. Who you are playing with determines what "kind of player you are (i.e. what kind of stats you have)" more than people realize. If, after this season, you try to analyze WR stats, for example, you could interpret Ja'Marr Chase, Ridley, and Tyreek Hill as overpriced. Their QBs determine their numbers and their effects. That ties into:

2) Wentz is probably as good as (or better than) the starting Viking QB at this point. Jefferson, who had not done anything until Sunday, might agree.
