Notes - I think the CIN, ATL, TB, PHI, and NE games could all be close calls. The other picks I'm confident about. <!-- / message -->

For your entertainment, I'll be playing youtube video of Yakety Sax during the Chiefs - Raiders game.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well the chiefs-Oak game will draw because the fan bases hate each other. I sure wouldn't want to watch it though.

I thought the Niners were going to fall into the same pattern they'd been in over the last 4 weeks and let this one slip away in the final seconds. Thank heavens for interception #5 at the last moment. Whew!

[Dragon]

Alas, some people always miss the first Thursday night game... sorry, you all picked the Bears.

Crud, hope this is on time. I already forgot about Thursday's game.<o></o>

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Crud, hope this is on time. I already forgot about Thursday's game.<o></o>


So did everyone else except for Cutler. :p

[Shadow Storm]

Dolphins are driving for a second score close to halftime after being handed an easy 7 points by the officials up stairs.

[Dragon]

So did Cutler. :p

Fixed. ;)


Crud, hope this is on time. I already forgot about Thursday's game.<o></o>

You were late by about six minutes, but I'm willing to give you the picks. If anyone has any objections...

Well, lay off. You're anal. :mneh

Incidentally, wow, there are a lot of close games right now... Miami is the only team leading by more than a score.

[Xavier Synik]

Apparently Denver finally got the memo telling them they were supposed to be crap this year... Come on... the 'skins??

Ugh. Another bad week ahead me thinks, at least in the early games.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Looks like the Bengals are going to win. They are for real now. I think only two of us picked them. Saved my early games.

[Dragon]

DANG IT. >_<

Just like last game against the Bengals, the Steelers had all the opportunities they needed and screwed up every single one. The Bengals played great defense, but there were also way too many overthrows, drops, and passes into coverage. And the special teams play was absolutely inexcusable.

The Bengals are a good team this year. I just wish the Steelers had shown up to play them. :(

[Rutabaga]

I feel like I'm in Bizarro World...CAR beats ATL, WAS beats DEN, STL had a shot to beat NO...ugh, I'm down 4 already, nnnooooo! :x

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Did I just read right when I saw that the Redskins beat the Broncos? o_O The universe is not right!!

[Jedi Master Carr]

Looks like the Dolphins just blew their game, some Wild games today. The titans blew out the Bills, they will be a dangerous team in the second half. Too bad this team didn't show up in the first 6 games.

[Miranda Tarkin]

wow I totally forgot to put my picks in. Not that it matters, I've been doing shitty. This weekend was terribly busy and distracting ah well. :)

[Jedi Master Carr]

I take that back, Dolphins kick a late FG. What hurt the Broncos was Orton got hurt and didn't play the second half.

[Rutabaga]

Geez, this is such a Raider-centered town I live in, of course the KC-OAK game is on our local CBS affiliate. :mischief

I, of course, shall be watching PHI-SD on the local Fox affiliate.

[Shadow Storm]

Riding on a wave of official assists, MIA recovers from a TB comeback to take the win.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

The titans blew out the Bills in the 4th quarter

Fixed. :( Game was actually closer than the final score tells. :(

[Jedi Master Carr]

The titans blew out the Bills in the 4th quarter

Fixed. :( Game was actually closer than the final score tells. :(

I would say the whole second half they blew them out. The titans took over that game in the middle of the 3rd quarter. The Bills have a lot of problem. I think bringing in Owens was a really bad idea.

[Lykaios]

Oooooh, watch out AFC North! The Tiger is out of the cage and in control of the division! >=D

So are the Vikes!

Holy...who am I going to root for when they meet in Dec 13? o_O

Well, the Bengals of course...and I'll be there to cheer them on...hope I come out alive of the Dome

[Jedi Master Carr]

Not looking too good for the afternoon games. Only the Chiefs are winning for me. I shouldn't have went with the Eagles that was a big mistake.

The Green Bay-Dallas game is just horrible. I think the Chiefs-Raiders game looks more entertaining.

Edit
How can Dallas go from looking great last week to awful this week?

Edit 2
Chiefs win their second game in a close one. The Raiders just stink. Green Bay and Arizona are both going to win.

[Rutabaga]

Chargers! :eee

Raiders! :lol

Cowpies! :lol

Me because I picked the Raiders and the Cowpies :cry

I suck this week, down 6 if I'm counting right, but what the hell...you know, the way things have gone today, I almost think Cleveland has a chance at beating Baltimore tomorrow. :mischief

[Dragon]

Wow.

Just... wow.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

That... was an amazing game. Go COLTS!

[Dragon]

I'm a Texas Tech fan, and even I can't believe that call to go on 4th on your own 30 with a 6-point lead at the two-minute warning with no timeouts... What a turnaround by Peyton Manning!

[Rutabaga]

Wow.

Just... wow.

My feelings exactly.

[Shadow Storm]

6-9 for the week. o_O

Better luck next week, hopefully.

[Rutabaga]

Hm, if you're 6-9, I think that makes me 8-7 if I'm counting my losses correctly.

And yeah, hopefully we'll have better luck next week. :\

[Dragon]

Could someone else do the tally and the setup for next week's thread? I'm swamped right now with schoolwork.

Plus, remember that there will be a game this Thursday as well.

[Miranda Tarkin]

just keep in mind whoever does to the tallies that I the person that got the least amount of teams right, I get one lower :p I don't want to be forgotten XD

[Dragon]

Class let out early, so I have time to do it now.

Never mind of course that I was teaching the class that let out early. :)
