It's getting harder to move up the leaderboard it seems. I have a great overall record only a couple people in front of me, guess I need to take more risks when I am feeling lucky.
I've been really lucky. I've yet to post the top pt total in any given week but somehow I'm at the top (by two stinkin' pts) this week. I was only up by one last week so I fully expected SpecNatz to zoom past me but he didn't get his picks in.
Have you guys taken a
at next weeks picks.
St. Louis is in the Favorites column over Minnesota! What are those guys smoking!?

Yeah, I've already made my picks for this week, and was surprised to see the Rams as the favorite. Minnesota should win that game easily.

Ah, Football!
I'm the first guy to pick 50 right....but I'm in 13th place.

You need to be more confident on the games that matter!

Mine are in but it's too hard to make up any ground on the leaders.
make sure you keep tabs on whose picks pay off; yours or hersI'm in. I need a good week, my wife is in on this and I go with some of her picks because I'm a good husband and, let's face it, she's got the....

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

Ya tough week.

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.The Jags and the Pats let me down
Happy now, Vinny?
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.

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

ok...don't forget to make your picks.
Mine are in...dropped a big 6 on the Texans this week and they better not dissapoint.
I need a good week to improve in the standings...so to all of you ahead of me...PICK POORLY!!!!
I dropped a 3 on SF winning. Houston is 2-0 when I pick against them, and 1-3 when I pick for them. I have to pick against them.

why don't make reeeal sure and drop a 12 or 13
hmm. I dropped a 7 on Tennessee winning in week 2, and a 9 on the Bengals winning last week. So maybe an 8 will do?
I dropped a 9 on Cincy this past week and that seemed to work for the team.
We sports fans sure are a superstitious lot aren't we..?

I'm really not superstitious at all. I just know that I'm 1-5 picking Texan games so far. If I'm going to suck at picking Houston games, I might as well keep picking against them. The one game I got right I had "1" in confidence points, so I've only gotten 1 point in the Texans games so far this year.

I have a phat 9 riding on Philly tonight.
I should remain first long as they dont blow it AND someone picked the Skins heavily.
