[Goblinmonger]

7. Hey, I'm looking up at you in the standings, so

yeah, it could get worse :)

[Auggie]

10. You playing this week Goblinmonger?

[Goblinmonger]

14. Yep

Just completely slipped my mind until 1:30 Sunday.

[Doctor_J]

12. Well, I could stop picking my beloved Bears every week

That would help my pct immensely.

Jared Allen could get 8 or 9 sacks Sunday night. The only things that will slow him down are

1. all of the false starts by the Bears OL, and

2. Adrian Peterson getting 30 carries and keeping the Vikes' D off the field

My affection for the Bears is almost as passionate as the one for the Dems. Both are really tough at times.

[Doctor_J]

3. Big game this week - Detroit & SF

:rofl:

When is the last time that happened?

[keroro gunsou]

4. my picks

Atlanta / 4 / Carolina - falcons

Chicago / 3 / Minnesota - who cares... bears

[PRETZEL]

5. This weeks picks

here goes,

Carolina
Indy

St. Louis
Buffalo
Jacksonville
Philly
Houston

[RockaFowler]

6. Come on let me at least make it to 500 this week

Atlanta
Indianapolis (7 points is too many here)
Detroit (I think this will be real close - game of the weekend)
Green Bay (15 points!!!!)
Buffalo
Pittsburgh
Washington (how in the world is Philly favored in this game?)
Baltimore
Oakland
New England
New Orleans
Chicago
Miami

[JonLP24]

8. Wow

a lot of us are over .500. I'm not sure if that is normal since it is still early in the season but it seems impressive.

[Auggie]

9. Considering the transition of some perennial losers

(so far) to winners, I agree. That's made it harder to figure out. Minnesota, Arizona and Pittsburgh are still giving me fits. And, of course, there's the question if Philly will ever live up to the hype.

[InternalDialogue]

19. I'm the equivalent of the Dolphins, helping keep the average from looking good.

[brendan120678]

11. Picks...

Carolina
Indy
Detroit
St. Louis
Giants
P'burgh
Philly
Baltimore
Cleveland
New England
New Orleans
Chicago

Oh well.

[RockaFowler]

39. Sorry I asked . . .

That was horrible

[PRETZEL]

36. Man, that was some seriously good picking

congrats.

[brendan120678]

40. How could you let me do so bad?

At least I decided NOT to pick against the Jets. I was certain Miami would pull off the upset.

[trumad]

42. Yeah---I picked the Jets which made me almost vomit..

That;'s how bad my Phins are.

[Auggie]

43. I only cheat with my own picks...

NOT!

Go Bears!
