That wasn't a solid strategy last Sunday. A few of the faves lost.

More than a couple...I was destroyed yesterday. Tons of upsets....wasn't a good day for my football internet games like Pick'em, but I can't lie...I enjoyed the hell out of the games yesterday. It will take a few more weeks for the league to sort itself out for this season...whodathunk the Cards would beat the Pats and the Eagles back to back? Vikes over the 9ers? man, Ponder sure looked good, but we saw his potential when he played us. Great weekend....all the upsets are good for the league.

This game is all i have left.... 2 strikes in survival, and my fantasy team just got balsted with injuries.... Im just glad everyone had a bad round that time...

**Showtime100** · 09-25-2012

25 right after 3 weeks is probably my worst showing in quite a while, but I can see we all are having issues.

Like Vinny, I love the upsets, provided Houston win the games they should

. It keeps us all guessing which is a lot of fun, pick 'em or no pick 'em.

I think this has been an awesome start to the season outside of the replacement ref bs...I had Seattle Monday night so that sure was a wild ride. In the survivor I had Indy....damn that Indy defense.

**Vinny** · 09-29-2012

I keep forgetting to pick the Thursday night game...ugh.

**Showtime100** · 09-30-2012

Congrats to Pencil Neck. With the short FG kick by the Giants he gets the win for the week (oops, for now).

13 good picks with Monday still to come. Great job.

hell of a week...I'm still trying to figure out myth from fact

**Vinny** · 10-04-2012

ok, I'm not going to forget to make my pick for tonight. I have taken an X the last few weeks since I keep forgetting to make my pick. Of course, this week is tougher than the last two. Kevin Kolb was sacked eight times last week, the Cardinals don't have a running game despite their record and Jeff Fisher teams tend to confuse non-great QB's. Rams are at home after beating a good Seattle team last week. Toughie.

SCOTTexans · 10-12-2012

Congratz to the the one player in the League to pick last night game right but now we all hate you for picking Tenn to win a game...

with all seriousness that was a good pick

**Vinny** · 10-12-2012

I forgot to make my pick again. ugh

**Showtime100** · 10-12-2012

At least you didn't lose any ground.

Damn Titans.

**Double Barrel** · 10-12-2012

I forgot about my picks until half time, so got an X for that game. But that's okay, because I would have lost anyway choosing the Steelers.

This year seems like it has been a lot tougher to predict many of these games. It's whacky!

That was moi... I'm still learning about the NFL and my new love (The Texans of course) ... I only voted that way as a risky way to try and claw back some points lol .... I knew it'd be a risk as everyone went with the steelers but it paid off although I feel dirty for picking them. If they lost I'd have been happy for hexing them (as I do most teams I bet on haha)

Texas T · 10-14-2012

Holy Crap I suck this week. Was it me or did like every underdog win this week??

I've only hit on two games this week...

I think more than ever, teams are evenly talented so it takes about 7 good weeks to find out who is who. Right now about one third of the league is 3-3 so its not like its easy to just say this team should beat that team...this ain't the MLB.

Some teams with bad records played nothing but good teams and some teams with great records may have played chumps to date...it's all slowly shaking out. After all these years of watching this league I'm more convinced than ever none of these talking heads and experts are right early on...Every year is unique....they are just basing their assumptions on last year and draft grades.

It wasn't just you. I had four right this week. Seven underdogs won yesterday and the two I picked both lost (STL & IND). I have been terrible so far picking games.

**Vinny** · 10-18-2012

tough choice tonight. Seattle is on the rise and their defense is great. I don't trust Alex Smith, but I picked the 9ers anyway.

**GlassHalfFull** · 10-18-2012

I officially suck.

**Showtime100** · 10-22-2012

Rats. If I had thought to make my Thursday pick I'd be undefeated this week with Chicago pending.

Ok, that isn't such a tragic thing but if that costs me an undefeated week I'm gonna water-blast the neighbor's cat.
