Jesus, how did New England get that schedule? do you really not know how it's decided which teams everyone faces?
Here's how the NFL's schedule formula works: You play 6 games against the other 3 teams in your division.
You play 4 games against each team in one of the other 3 divisions in your conference. Those divisions are rotated each year. This means you play every team in your conference at least once every 3 years during the regular season.
You play 4 games against each team in one of the 4 divisions in the opposing conference. Those divisions are rotated each year. This means you play every team in the other conference once every 4 years during the regular season.
You play 2 games against teams that finished in the same place in their respective divisions as you did in your division (e.g. a 1st place team will play 2 other 1st place teams, a 2nd place team will face 2 other 2nd place teams, etc.). These teams come from your conference and come from the 2 divisions not used in the second bullet above.
It really is as fair as it can possibly be. There is no discretion under which any team can be given an easy schedule.

Obviously that went over your head. I was being sarcastic. |

I'm gonna make a pretty big change to one of my picks.
Tampa Bay @ New Orleans
- It's odd to me that I'm doing this but things are just going too good for the Saints right now and I think they slip up against a division opponent. Shaq Barrett for the Bucs is playing as good as any defensive player in football right now. If Bridgewater holds the ball too long then I think Barrett can cause some disruption. Saints have beaten two possible playoff teams in Seattle and Dallas. In my head it only makes sense for them to lay an egg against Tampa.

This Bucs team has proven to be really strong against the run. I'm still in awe of what they did to McCaffrey. If they can bottle up Kamara in a similar way, it'll force Bridgewater to throw the ball. At this point, he's really more of a checkdown guy.

Yeah... it seems like changing picks at the last minute never works out.

Not my finest week but I'll happily accept being wrong in regards to GB @ Dallas. Was incorrect on all the late games. Hopefully Cleveland doesn't let me down tomorrow night.

I'm gonna make yet another big change to my picks.
Switching from the Browns to the 49ers.
Call it a gut feeling.
