Mats Zuccraello - USA Today Sports Images

Welcome back, and thanks for stopping by! If you're new to the article, each Saturday I'll pick 6 winners, with a confidence level match. I'll try to add some fantasy relevant information here and there, but for the most part, I'm just looking to help you out in whatever way I can.

If you were with me last year, I ended up with a personal record of 190-107 (64%) and a Dobber Record of 48-30 (62%). Not fantastic, but a decent go for my first (half) year on the site. I haven't gotten off to a great start this year going 3-4 (43%), but I'm hoping Saturday will turn that around.

As it's the beginning of the season, teams are still trying to find their identities. I don't think any of us could have predicted the flurry of hat tricks we've seen thus far. I'll leave the game analysis for now and should have a better idea of what we're dealing with next week. For now, here are today's picks:
