The 2026 regular season is upon us, folks! Well, technically, it’s been upon us for a couple of days now, but the real opening day is now here, and with that comes our first official set of picks for the new season.
Once again, our collection of learned (pronounced learn-ed) pro football blowhards will be making use of the Tallysight platform to make our selections for this season. For those of you who have been watching the past few seasons, that means we’ll be making three sets of picks: straight-up
picks, picks against the spread, and over/unders. We’ll also be enabling Community Gaming, giving you the opportunity to jump on Tallysight and make selections of your own.
Since this is Week 1, we don’t have to go over last week’s picks, so we’ll just go ahead and post the picks for this week. We believe that Shawn will be joining us, but as of the time that I’m typing this post up he has not punched his picks into the system, so I’m going off of the picks that I’ve got.
