The Ravens over the Browns is about the only one I'll give you. That'll likely be everyone's 16-pointer this week.

Philly over KC..? I dunno. The Chefs put up 24 points on the Ravens defens... IN Baltimore. They barely lost to the Raydahs in the last two minutes. And McNabb is still out. You're probably right, the E-Gals will probably win - but I wouldn't call Philly w/o McNabb a lock.

I dunno about GB. They're as schizo as we are. They lost to the Bungles in Lambeau. They only beat the Bears because Cutler stunk it up to the tune of 4 INTs. And this is the Rams' home opener. GB probably wins, but I wouldn't call it a lock.

This could be a weird week.
I just hope we don't get bit by the weirdness.

Don't forget to GET YOUR PICKS IN!!!!!

**ObsiWan** · 09-26-2009

They in. But I ain't very confident. I think I drop a few spots this week. I'm only up by one point over

(SpecNatz - how did you get your own smiley anyhow?) as it is...

I had those games as my 16, 15 & 14 in confidence points. All three games were blow-outs. I understand the 'any given sunday', but I just didn't see any of those teams losing this week.

Well, I used double digit CPs on those three games too. I was just nervous about it. I wish I had played my hunch about the Lions for more than 1 pt. lol

I didn't go with the Lions just because I wanted to see them win one first. I had the Bengals getting beat with high confidence points for the 2nd week in a row. Only 3 people picked them to win the past two weeks. I would assume almost everyone will pick them next week against Cleveland.

My thinking as well. Whew I took a bath this week.

**ObsiWan** · 09-28-2009

I think Vinny takes firm hold of the lead this week.

I would if this was all about picking winners. Kinda frustrating to have the least wrong picks with only 9 wrong for the season and be tied for 12th place with a guy who has 17 wrong picks....not that there is anything wrong with that

Well that Detroit upset cost you big time. If I had any brass ones, I'd have put more pts on them.
If I had any sense, I wouldn't have plunked double digits on the Schizos
...err, I mean Texans

We both have the same record going into week 4. The difference? You're in 2nd, I'm in 21st.

yep... But in a couple of weeks or so that could be reversed. I could very well be in the middle of the pack looking up at you and Vinny
this little game is all about who ya put yer "money" on.

**Hardcore Texan** · 10-01-2009

I got my picks done, I took about 3 upsets or so, i got to do something to gain some ground, it's great having a really good record and all but I am not climbing the leaderboard so I tried to get creative a little bit, hope it doesn't bite me in the a double s.

Imagine how frustrated you will be when that guy passes you.

texanmojo · 10-02-2009

Hey guys...don't forget to get your picks in this weekend! Still lots and lots of time left...and the leader is not very far ahead.

I dropped a 7 on the Texans winning...I am scared to death that this is too many points. It all depends on which caliber defense shows up...NFL or High School.

Fingers Crossed!
