week four non-chiefs picks

Note: due to work and volunteer obligations, as well as travel plans for Monday night's Chiefs / those people game at fake mile high, the picks posts are gonna be light this week. 

Chiefs / those people pick and commentary coming separately, (possibly) Friday night or (probably) Saturday morning.

Also, I'm still working on the recap of the 49ers / Chiefs game.  It's ... look it.  There were six minutes on Sunday, from 11:46 to 11:52am, that hit me so hard emotionally that I have literally spent pushing four hours and counting staring at a blank screen.  I have no idea how to describe what hearing three words, three freaking words I've never even thought about before, I have no idea to describe just how hard those words hit me emotionally on Sunday. 

(Also, how does this hot-as-hell 41 year old dude describe how those three words made him cry like he's never cried over a moment in sports before?  I mean, I bawled like a newborn baby when Mario hit the three ten years ago * .  My reaction to that shot looks like a kid in a sandbox, compared to my reaction to Mr. Mahomes' introduction on Sunday.)

I hope to get that done by Sunday night; I've got a ten hour ride to work on it on Sunday if need be.

Below are the non-Chiefs picks.

(*: for the record, my reaction was to fall off the couch, begin immediately pounding the floor, all while scream crying "yes!" for the next five minutes.  Multiple people can confirm this.  My response to hearing "and at quarterback" on Sunday, made that look like amateur hour.)
