Anyway, I need a good week.

make sure you keep tabs on whose picks pay off; yours or hers
because if HERS pay off, you can bet that she will

You might be suprised...the leader is not that many points ahead of you. One bad weekend is all it takes!

The Jags and the Pats let me down

Happy now, Vinny?

Not happy till I scratch and claw my way to the top! I almost picked the Bengals and it makes me mad that I hung on to last years perception and went with the Ratbirds...but hey, the Bengals have a healthy Carson Palmer, a credible NFL back in Benson and play some pretty good D now. The dynamics are shifting a bit in the AFC Central. It could have gone either way. Damn those Bills for being the suck and damn those Broncos - they are pretty damn good, but I held on to too much old world perception there too.

None of us were Cincy believers. Only WideRight picked them to win and he (she?) only put one pt on it. That's not being a believer IMO. LOL. Diff was I put 12 on the Ravens and you only lost 4.

And I still can't believe that the Jags went out to Seattle and stunk it up like they did

or that the Broncos are actually for real enough to take down the N.E. Bradys. I guess I should have recognized the Pats weren't all that last week since they had to get help from the refs to beat the Ravens.

I guess me complaining about moving up helped me out, I went up 8 spots. I am 2nd overall in W-L's, one win behind Vinny.

Exactly...don't give up. There was a TON of movement in the standings this week.

JCTexan · 10-13-2009

There are some tough games to pick this week.

sho' nuff...

N.Y.Giants @ Saints (who's the baddest team in the NFC?)
Broncos @ Chargers (the 'Bolts reeeally need this win)
Bears @ Falcons (two 3-1 teams; who's for real?)
Cards @ Seahawks (another division battle)
Ravens @ Vikes (Balt. can't stand another loss)
Panthers @ Buccs (before you laff, you tell me who sucks more)
Chefs @ 'Skins (see above

)

...I can't give all of them a "1"

You pretty much got every game I thought was tough down there. I wasn't laughing at the Panthers @ Bucs game being tough to pick either. I honestly don't know which team will win. They have both sucked so far this year. The Chiefs @ Skins game I put as my "1". The teams the Skins have played (besides the Giants) are 2-17 on the year, the two wins coming against them. The Ravens/Vikes is two tough defensive teams going at it. Cards @ Seahawks is probably the easiest game to pick out of the seven, having said that the team I pick is probably going to lose. Bears @ Falcons: I think both teams are for real. Broncos @ Chargers: I want to pick the Bolts, but Denver has proven me wrong too many times this year already. Giants @ Saints is two undefeated teams going at it. All of those games were tough to pick for me.

Don't forget your picks...

This was one of the toughest weeks for me. I hope I don't have a repeat of the blowout I experienced last week.

Good luck!

**ObsiWan** · 10-15-2009

I made my picks.

...but I'll probably RE-pick (and Re-RE-pick) two or three times before kickoff on Sunday
LOL!

**Hardcore Texan** · 10-16-2009

Just did my picks, man they are really tough this week, could be a lot of movement in the rankings.
