  • Seattle Seahawks to win

    Up one spot of the Seattle Seahawks... I think I'm gonna pick them this week. ... I am genuine, like I said, concerned about Bucky Irving and and them going to Seattle. That's a big game.

  • Kansas City Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl

    I had the Chiefs winning the AFC. At the end of the day, I wanna be right. Chiefs versus Lions.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.
