That is the definition of a homer, picking them to win every game lol

Even if they were playing 8 worst teams in the NFL in the first 8 weeks, you still gotta predict a loss here and there. This is the NFL, not college football.

Yeah nobody starts off 8-0 in the NFL.

It is a rarity.

Just because there have been multiple teams make the playoffs after starting 2-5, doesn't mean I'm going to predict them to do so.

Its a rarity but looking at the schedule and how the games turned out, aside from the Eagles game they cuold easily be 6-1 so predicting to win every game thus far is really really crazy on my part.

Well, when doing it on a game to game basis, it isnt. But you wouldnt have laid out the first 8 games and put a W next to them before the season started. I think thats the point he is making.

Vegas might put them as favorites in every game. But Vegas wouldnt put them to be 8-0 despite being favorites in every game.

Week to week I've picked the Falcons to win every game in the picks pool Im in. But I wouldn't said at the start of the year that I was gonna pick them for all 7 games.

The Colts have started four of the last five seasons 14-0, 8-0, 9-0, and 13-0, respectively. Last year the Saints started 13-0. The Titans were 10-0 two years ago. The Patriots were 18-0 a few years ago for goodness sake. I'd say it's more of a rarity for there NOT to be at least one top team that wins their first eight games.

Exactly, Its not like i got on here and predicted before the season that theyre going 16-0 lol. But so far to pick them to win every game is not being a homer, its practical

There is a HUGE difference in saying its a rarity that a team will go 8-0, and one specific team will go 8-0.

Like you said, the last 3 seasons we've had a team go 8-0. It's a rarity this year that there is not a 7-0 team.

But it is definitely a rarity to name one specific team to go 8-0 and then they actually do it.

No matter what you say, it is not practical to expect them to be 7-0 right now.

The statistics are against it, so how can it be practical?

I understand where you're coming from now. I'd agree.

Because less than 5% of teams the last 5 years have gone 7-0 to start the season, so you have to think there's a 95% chance they are not 7-0. Play those percentages, and you'll look less like a homer/tard.

The statistics? You mean like the odds of them winning being in their favor so far every game?

WHAT PART OF ME PICKING A SINGLE GAME BY GAME FOR THEM TO WIN IS SO HARD FOR YOU TO COMPREHEND. I didnt start a thread that said the Falcons are gonna start 7-0. Look at it game by game basis and then tell me im delusional.... and you'll be wrong

Those are just predictions, those aren't credible facts. They have been PREDICTED to win every game so far this season.

The true facts are that less than 5% of teams start the season 7-0, so why should we expect the Atlanta Freaking Falcons to go 7-0?

Wasn't Atlanta an underdog vs. New Orleans this year?

Edit: They were an underdog vs. Philly too.
