12. He doesn't list all the games
Fri Sep 28, 2012, 10:19 PM
Sep 2012

It seems to be about 8 which is the Sunday & Monday night games, 1 that last week's winner picked (Arizona/Miami), and the rest are notable match-ups.

16. First three years we listed all games except those on Thursdays

This year is limited to eight. By default, the primetime evening contests (Sunday/Monday) plus other games deemed (by me) to be the most interesting for any number of reasons. I will try to feature each team a couple of times in the year, but winning teams receive precedent.

Everyone is welcomed to suggest games. Send me a PM.

Random thoughts.......Now that the real refs are back, expect a lot more roughing the passer and pass interference calls
