RotB Pick'em 4.0: Week 2 Results & Week 3 Picks

 

The second week of RotB Pick'em 4.0 looked tough at first glance considering the uncertainties of the early season.  Nevertheless, it was a strong week for the majority of participants with many posting six correct picks if not more.  In fact, cardinalbrown pitched a perfect week of picks.  Congratulations on a relatively rare feat in Pick'em history (third time, maybe the fourth ever?)  Those that didn't fare well, no worries, the season is still young and Pick'em is an endurance run, not a series of sprints.  Atop the rankings sits one of those sprinters, four-year Pick'em veteran, KDean75, whose .875 winning percentage gives him the Week 2 lead.

So much for going "cute" last week...

Cincinnati (WTF? Yeah, I think the Bengals will take the Niners at home.)
Philadelphia (All depends on Vick really, stay tuned.)
Minnesota (Detroit is hot BUT divisional foes prove tricky, especially on the road)
Atlanta (This contradicts what I just said, I know)
Green Bay (Okay, maybe I should go with Detroit after all)
Arizona (Seachickens are playing like what we thought the Bengals would play like)
Pittsburgh (Think NBC wishes they could flex this game out?)
Dallas (Depends on Romo to some extent)

Don't waste time or Time will waste you.

Cincy — Who are these guys, really?
Philly — Only if Vick plays
Minny — Expecting a pride performance to happen and a letdown by DET
ATL — Ride the momentum from Sunday night win
Chicago — No Nick Collins and Cam Newton gashed their secondary. Cutler is going to do the same. They play well at home.
AZ — Because if they lose to Seattle, they might as well not come back to AZ
Pitt — I wanna see if anyone has the balls to take Indy here.
Dallas — also a decision based on Romo, I think.

Like the Cardinals? Revenge of the Birds is where to go.
Like Arizona Sports in general? SB Nation Arizona is where you'll get it all.

I picked WAS

Because honestly while the Cards D is bad, it shows maybe WAS is better than expected after watching Newton put up another 400 yard game on the vaunted GB defense.
Or maybe it just says that GB’s D is also overrated…

by Jesse Reynolds on Sep 20, 2011 1:57 AM MDT up reply actions  

Packers did have some injuries in their secondary

Collins and Tramon were both out. Guessing that is what they are blaming it on anyway.

Steelers
Cowboys

Got 12 right last weekend

But almost every game I missed was one that was in the weeks Pick em…

49ers
Giants – Vick might be out, Jacobs can do what Turner did to the Eagles D
Lions
Falcons
Bears – I see them splitting with the Pack this year
Cardinals – We should be able to win this
Steelers
Redskins – I think the Skins are for real, and the Cowboys will be without Miles Austin.

Other games:

Panthers
Titans
Saints
Patriots
Browns
Raiders
Ravens
Chargers

My week 3 picks

Cincinnati (hopefully the west coast teams playing on the east coast thing, will have an affect)
Philadelphia
Detroit
Atlanta
Green Bay
Arizona
Pittsburgh (apparently I was wrong last week when I picked the Colts, if they can’t beat the browns, they don’t stand a chance against the Stealers, I mean Steelers)
Washington (if Romo doesn’t play, then the Cowgirls will lose)

the other games:
Carolina (the Jaguars’s quarterbacks suck, plus the Panthers did pretty well against the Packers)
Tennessee
Cleveland
New Orleans
New England
Baltimore
NY Jets
San Diego (I have 3 Chargers players on my fantasy team(2 are injured, but still) so a win will help)

Atl- Toss up.
Zona- Nuff said.
Pit- The Peyton’s look just awful.
Dal- The skins beating us was a fluke. We won’t lose another game till next preseason.
