We're going with a bare-bones post today ... no "Picks That Make Me Queasy" or anything after the jump. Which is just as well, really: the "Picks That Make Me Queasy" went 3-2 last week, the "Picks That Don't" went 2-3. So don't trust a word I say if predictions are involved.

As I mentioned earlier this week, last week was challenging, but until I figure out the best way to wean off of preseason projections and into real data, Weeks 2-5 are probably going to be the worst-performing weeks for me. Fills you with confidence in the below projections, eh?
