I actually like your pick. I went back and forth on this game. I initially picked Tampa, but changed my mind. I've watched the Vikings play a lot this season, and I'm impressed. Vikings in a very close game.

by **YoungJRNY** » Fri Oct 26, 2012 11:09 am

It's the complete opposite for me. I haven't had the chance to watch too many Minnesota games but I've seen some things from Tampa on several occasions and I love the potential Freeman could bring and I love Schiano's "Man's man" type attitude he has instilled in the team, especially defense so that's what prompted me to call the upset. I'll never be sold on Ponder anyhow and that alone always shy's me away from Minny.

I don't like Ponder. I like Minnesota's defense. In fact, I like Ponder so little, that I can tell you Tampa out to the 20-7 lead, this game is done. Ponder simply isn't capable of these big comebacks. Minnesota will only be a threat to an opposing team if they can play from ahead.

I guarantee that the Bengals will not be able to lose this Sunday !

Did you pick the Cowboys to lose yet? Lol. Giants by 14.

You'll never see me go against the Cowboys :wink:

holy shit that Marcus Lattimore injury was GRUESOME.. prayers for that boy...

by **YoungJRNY** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 11:46 am

And THAT'S why according to the players, they'd rather be hit in the head than to be hit in the knees. That dude submarine'd Lattimore and torpedoed right into his knee-cap and it's completely legal. Heyward Bay's concussion knocked him out for what? A week? This dude now has a long-ass recovery ahead of him. Some don't even make it through the grueling rehab. I'm rooting for this guy, but that's a shame.

by **YoungJRNY** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:10 pm

I'll be in the house VS RGIII tomorrow. Taking my laday as well. Even though she has been to 2 games, this is her first game that is actually significant and a playoff atmosphere. Other than Baltimore coming up in a couple weeks, this is the biggest home game for the Steelers thus far. Should be a blast.

Bears over Panthers by 13.
Chargers over Browns by 10.
Lions over Seahawks by 6.
Packers over Jags by 16.
Colts over Titans by 7.
Patriots over Rams by 10.
Jets over Dolphins by 7.
UPSET: Eagles over Falcons by 3.
Steelers over Redskins by 10.
Raiders over Chiefs by 14.
Giants over Cowboys by 14.
Broncos over Saints by 8.

MON
49'ers over Cardinals by 10.

I also picked to Eagles (several hours ago on the ESPN site, before I saw this pick). We agree on the rest of our picks except I like New Orleans and Seattle. I would have picked Detroit at the beginning of the season, but have come to the conclusion that they flat out suck!

by **YoungJRNY** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 9:14 pm

I went back and forth several times on the Denver/New Orleans game but when it comes down to it, I like Denver's defense a HELLUVALOT more than I like that cruddy Saints defense. It's good to make a decision on who would win judging by the better defense nowadays. Been awhile! Haha. I also had a tad bit of trouble in the Colts/Titans game, but Indy has been playing solid ball and there's something about Tennessee that doesn't click right away. Good luck to everyone's picks and good luck to everyone's favorite teams today.

by AR » Mon Oct 29, 2012 3:29 am

They have a classic standard uniform, but their throwbacks make me want to throw up.

Disgusting. Not sure who would ever were such a mess. My 6 year old son says to me "Daddy, those uniforms are ugly. I'm going to call them The Bumblebees" :shock:

I agree that Denver game and the Titans/Colts game were tough games. By the way, we also didn't agree on the Miami/Jets game, as I picked Miami.

by **Ehwmatt** » Mon Oct 29, 2012 6:40 am

Even when the Browns win, they tend to do so in putrid fashion. A 7-6 sleeper over the hapless Chargers featuring a match-up between probably the two worst active coaches in the NFL right now. Awful.

Oh well, a win's a win.

by **YoungJRNY** » Mon Oct 29, 2012 8:09 am

Take the win Matthew, take the win, lol.

Meh, it wasn't necc. disagreeing. That was another game that was like "uhhh, i unno." Haha.

Pick of the week: Bucs over Vikes; YoungJRNY

by **Liam** » Wed Oct 31, 2012 12:10 am

I think I jumped the shark. I was tied for 1st for what...5 weeks?? LOL

by **Jonny B** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 3:15 am

I was in 1st place...the 1st week...haven't come close to sniffing it since.

I figured that picking the Cards would be clutching at straws. But I went all-favorites and needed an upset pick, so why not the Monday Night game?

This coming weekend is reeking of potential upset specials...I think this could me a bad week for me.

Only two reasons why I don't rate this year's Chiefs worse than the 0-16 Lions team. 1.) A lucky OT win, and 2.) The defense does make a play now and then (like the red zone INT at the end of the half.) But c'mon now...even that futile Lions team held a lead at SOME point during the season.

I find it difficult to believe this is the same Chiefs team that won a Division title a couple years back...Whatever they're eating, it ain't Wheaties.

by **Liam** » Sat Nov 03, 2012 1:12 am

No...it's Wheaties...unfortunately...someone pissed in them. lol

I was just goin' for an upset pick with that one. Didn't think it'd happen, but I like watching Norv lose. His tenure in SD needs to end. Just like Reid's in Philthy.

The Chefs weren't even that good when they won that division some years ago. I remember Baltimore just EATING THEM ALIVE, literally embarrassing them right off the field IN Arrowhead. Any success's in the AFC WEST Division is by the significance of their own SUCK. Atleast Peyton Manning brings credibility back into the fold.

by **Liam** » Sat Nov 03, 2012 6:19 am

Looks like it's the AFC west's turn to get in the playoffs at 7-9. :lol:
