Congratulations to Red Reign, whose record of 12-4 this week is slightly ahead of a larger group at 11-5 as he was one of only two people to pick Cleveland to win on MNF.  Everyone, well, almost everyone, had a great week of picks making this whole week effectively a "push" in the standings.  Latecomer Andrew602 still has the knack for correct picks and is still 4% ahead of the field. 

DON'T FORGET:  THURSDAY GAME ON NFL NETWORK; GET YOUR BENGALS/STEELERS PICK IN BEFORE KICKOFF!  OR SHALL I JUST PENCIL EVERYONE IN FOR A "TIE"?

Damn Monday nighter

Why can’t the Bills seem to make a 47 yarder?

At first glance, this looks like a pretty easy week to pick. I could see someone finish with only one loss or even get ’em all.

by cgolden on Nov 18, 2008 9:25 AM MST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

At first glance, easy, on second glance there's some "waffle" games

Houston @ Cleveland…hmmm, which Cleveland team shows up?
Bills @ Chiefs….Buffalo, right? Hell, I don’t know now…KC is playing a lot better lately.
NE @ Miami? ‘ell, I don’t know. Which Cassel shows up? Patriots ready for the Wildcat now.
Eagles @ Ravens? Gawds, I hope it doesn’t go into OT! McNabb won’t know what to do!
Vikes @ Jags…did Minnesota stay in Florida this week?
Giants @ AZ…I think we all know where we “hope” to pick, but how are we all truly “feeling” about this game?
Panthers @ Falcons…did the Broncos just get lucky? Cards need Falcons to win this one.

Maybe CG is just being facetious, but there’s a lot of picks I’m going to waffle on all week.

But I’ll throw this out right now:

Pittsburgh (Bengals must be flying high after that TIE! Kinda like sloppy seconds at a Leinart beer bong party)

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

by Hawkwind on Nov 18, 2008 9:37 AM MST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

yea there are still some tough ones, but not near as bad as the past couple of weeks

I’m already set on a couple of those games, but I’d hate to let the cat out of the bag just yet. I’ll get my Thursday pick out too:

PIT – I can’t top your reasoning so I won’t even try.

by cgolden on Nov 18, 2008 9:44 AM MST to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yes, I've noticed a trend with some games

Where the early picks go with one team but the ones late in the week go with the other. Could be some strategy playing going on!

PIT – hines ward might get injured as retaliation. pit by a lot anyway.
CLE – quinn is gonna bounce back from a no-TD game.
DAL – san fran is doing well, but dallas is gonna build off their win against skins.
TB – lions at home. but who cares? they’ll never win.
TEN – battle of two good defenses. titans by 4.
BUF – trent edwards will actually complete a pass to evans.
CHI – it’ll be closer than it might seem. bears by 6.
MIA – wildcat formation cannot be stopped.
MIN – vikings are rollin again behind AP.
PHI – baltimore stunk it up last week and westbrook will bounce back in a big way.
DEN – jamarcus russell and the raiders are awful.
ATL – another close one.. hard to pick, but i’m going with the hotter team.
NYG – stopped picking against the cards but i’m gonna start again and they’ll win.
WAS – seattle might show up again this week.
IND – why are the chargers favored? they’re not that great.
NO – no reggie bush i hear. but drew brees will carry them again.

Pit- 86 the Ocho Cinco chants. He was sent to file 13 for this game.
Cle- Hou just plain sucks.
KC- Buf is outta gas.
Mia-When in doubt, go home (team).
Phi- Tough one. If it goes to OT, will McNabb go for the win or wait till double OT.
Min- Jax sucks too.
Det- First win baby.
Chi- Rams forgot to play last week. What makes this week any different?
Ten- 4 INTs for Broadway Brett.
Dal- 9ers loss and our win would give us the division, right.
Den- The (no D in)enver vs. the (no O in)akland. Who really cares.
Ari- This will be a blood bath for Opie. 2 TDs, 3 INTs and 2 fumbles. The 12th man is back.
Atl- No more mojo in Carolina.
Was- Although, I think Was has fallen off, Seatle is even worse.
Ind- Is it too late to get Michael “the burner” Turner back?
GB- Every team seems to be better without Shockey. But NO will still lose. At least my Huricanes finally got ranked this week. They’re 7-3 and should win this weekend. My Magic were 7-3 before the win the other night and my Cards are 7-3 before their win this weekend. I admit I have good taste.

yes gtech’s triple option destroyed it for 400+ rushing

well my canes lost on thursday and my magic tonight, not a good feeling for my cards tomorrow.

Getting back to the top.....

PIT (I picked them above)
BAL – Westbrook might not go and BAL is at home
CLE – Shaub still out so I’m still picking against HOU
TB – I’d love for them to lose though, take some heat off the Cards in the playoff picture
KC – Has anyone thought about what the Bills have become since A-dub destroyed Edwards?
CHI – They bounce back after getting destroyed by the Pack
TEN – They’ll lose eventually but hopefully not this week
MIA – NE is just too banged up to win a game like this on the road
MIN – Underwhelming game of the week but I guess I’ll take Minny
DAL – I’d love to see the Niners knock off DAL but I don’t see it happening
DEN – OAK still sucks
ATL – Tough game but CAR’s been playing like crap lately and the Falcons are at home
ARI – I’m 7-3 picking them this year so I’ll stick with those percentages
WAS – SEA should just fold up shop and wait for next year
SD – Indy is hot but if the Chargers lose this game they’re season is over
NO – going into the big easy on MNF won’t be easy and if NO loses another game they’re finished (they might already be but)

by cgolden on Nov 21, 2008 6:45 AM MST reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I don't wanna pick!!!

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…”

Pitt (picked above with seconds sloppy reference)
Ten (Titans will loose, but I just don’t see Favre, Bob’s boyfriend, doing it)
TB (Lions will win one game…maybe even this one, but only if Culpepper throws for 400 yards)
Minn (Crap, I don’t know!)
KC (Crap, I don’t know! Again!)
Chi (Crap, I do know!)
NE (They’d better win otherwise my wife…well, you know, it’s her team and I’m tired of her foul moods lately!)
Dal (Go stand in the star TO and get creamed by Emmitt. Please? Wrong season?)
Cle (Gawds, Browns, you’re more wishy-washy than Charlie Brown)
Den (Hopefully Bronco fans throw battery-laced snowballs at Al Davis and kill the frakker)
Atl (Obi-Ryan, you’re our only hope)
Ari (My subconscious dreamworld suggests a 21-10 Cards victory…it’s got to be right eventually!)
Was (It would be cool to see the ‘Hawks knock down the ’Skins like last year’s playoff game…unlikely)
Ind (Manning could be tired after “taking a hike” in SD, but the Colts are hot)
GB (Hell, I don’t know…still)

We all leave footprints in the sands of time, just watch out for the discarded fish hooks!

Nearly omitted this pick:

Bal (Because Faulk and Sapp picked them too)
