During the Regular Season and Playoffs:

Regular content will appear each week during the NFL regular season.

On Mondays, each team’s fortune, or lack thereof, from the preceding weekend will be recapped and a prediction for the Monday Night Game will be made.

On Tuesdays, the Monday Night Game recap and all Creative Misfortune predictions will be checked for accuracy. No one can be perfect picking games, but you can certainly strive for being better than average! The Creative Misfortune Fantasy Football Season standings will be updated.

On Wednesdays, Creative Misfortune Power Rankings! Note: Power Rankings are based on a complicated formula that takes into account, among other things, a team's projected ability to score an Offensive Fumble Recovery TD. All power rankings guaranteed to be less accurate than real NFL team abilities on any given Sunday and are subject to change on a weekly basis. If your team’s ranking remains unchanged for 4 hours or more, please consult with your doctor, as serious side effects may occur. The Creative Misfortune Super Bowl favorite through the current week will also be announced. 

On Thursdays, predictions for any Thursday Night Games, plus “This Day in Football History” will remind us all of bygone days spent on the gridiron.

On Fridays, weekend game predictions and the starting fantasy football lineups for every team, plus any Thursday Night Game recaps

Along with these weekly features, at any time, “Something Different” posts will appear when inspiration strikes from outside the NFL universe.
