Rest later

Let's see if you can spot my strategy for this week's games!

Thursday, Oct 18
SEA @ SF WIN - The Seahawks get a huge boost from playing at home. Of course, if the 49ers offense plays like they did last week, it won't matter that they're in San Francisco.

Sunday, Oct 21
TEN @ BUF WIN - Toss-up.
WAS @ NYG WIN - I wonder if Giants fans worry that it's too early for them to start playing well?
NO @ TB WIN - Toss-up.
DAL @ CAR WIN - Toss-up.
BAL @ HOU WIN - Toss-up.
CLE @ IND WIN - Toss-up.
GB WIN @ STL - Toss--er, I mean, St. Louis is still the weakest team in the NFC West.
ARI @ MIN WIN - Would be a toss-up if Kolb were healthy.

NYJ @ NE WIN - Big NYJ win and big NE loss last week - law of averages hits the Jets hard this week.
JAX @ OAK WIN - Toss-up.

PIT WIN @ CIN - The way the Steelers' D is playing? Toss-up, but if Roethlisberger gets even a little help, he can take this game over. The Steelers cannot afford a divisional loss after a 2-3 start.

Monday, Sept 22
DET @ CHI WIN - When Cutler gets protection and Forte gets going, the Bears can be a very effective team.


Survivor: Toss-up. I mean, Green Bay.

[Ryan Pode]

I just got back from running. Forgot it was Thursday. I don't think the game has started, but SF.

[Dragon]

^ As far as I'm concerned, you got it in on time.

[Rutabaga]

This is otherwise known as the "I have no freaking clue" week.

But at least there's no way I could do worse than I did last week.

Or is there?

[Rutabaga]

Well, so far I'm doing oodles better than I did last week.

Although my teeny survivor streak went *poof*. Oh well.

[Dee]

Ahh hell...I knew I forgot something last week. Damn schoolwork

Someone throw a rock at my head next time, please!

[Dragon]

From one of our worst weeks to one of our best weeks - even the people who didn't pick got winning records this time, and I'm pretty sure we've never had two people notch a one-loss record in one week. Thanks, law of averages! You're the best, within two positive standard deviations of the mean!
