With almost 80% of the picks in, there is unsurprisingly an overwhelming Suicide favorite in Week Two. The herd is moving together, it seems, and placing its collective faith in Lambeau. The Cowboys feature second with 12 participants riding their lonesome star at last count, with a smattering of picks on the Falcons, Eagles, Vikings, and, bravely once again, the Chargers of San Diego.
But the whale of the week is Green Bay, and with Suicide participants across the country putting their lives on the arm of Aaron Rodgers, it's possible the Buffalo Bills have never been this popular, not even back when they were losing Super Bowls with Susan Lucci-esque consistency.
The Swami dislikes the herd, preferring to move instead to his own particularly aimless beat. However, there is little disputing the safety of the green-and-gold in Week Two -- until you remember that they lost their home opener last season to the Cleveland Browns, also coincidentally in Week Two, which reminds that no pick, truly, is safe in Suicide.
Colts? Manning is as unlikely to start 0-2 as his brother is to start 2-0. Chargers? See Week One. Cowboys? Should win, but does anyone want to risk angering Ze German?
And so it comes down to this, the moment of truth, the final decision, and while it is unusual, while the aimless beat keeps moving in myriad other ways, even Swami has been known, at times, to follow the pack.
Pun intended.
