2015 NFL season - weekly picks, insight into teams you follow, etc.

[Open Lines Gerry]

Hey everyone - I'm in a pool where we make weekly game picks each week of the NFL season (straight up - no point spreads, etc.).  I thought it might be fun to track everyone's predictions here on BellGab as well for anybody interested.  In addition, feel free to share any news, information, or insights that you might have for your local team, or any teams you follow closely, as that might give people like me added info to help in their NFL pools or fantasy leagues.

Remember to post your Thursday picks prior to kickoff on Thursday evenings, and your Sunday / Monday picks prior to kickoff on Sunday mornings.

Here are my results so far:
Week 1:  12 - 4
Week 2:  4 - 12 - tons of upsets -very low average score for all participants in my pool
Week 3:  13 - 3
Week 4:  10 - 5

Here are two sites I check regularly before making my picks so I can see what the "consensus" is out there:

Thursday night pick heading into tonight's game (Oct. :
Houston over Indianapolis

Seahawks update:  Still no word on Marshawn Lynch's status for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.  He missed Monday night's game with a hamstring injury, but did participate in pre-game warm-ups.  Seattle's offensive line has been terrible, leaving Russell Wilson to scramble for his life and take a huge number of sacks.  The Bengals are playing so well, and are at home, so I think I'm going to have to pick against my own team this week when I make my Sunday picks.

With the MLB and NHL discussions taking place here in the "General Discussion" section, I didn't realize that there was already an NFL thread going in the "Other Talk Radio / Podcast" section.  They have their own BellGab pool going, too.  I'm going to go join that thread, and will leave this one to die.  Info on the other NFL thread is quoted below.
