Apparently all that pudding has helped Strike achieve a state of prognostic enlightenment for this week that the rest of us mere mortals cannot approach. He's picked every early game right. Good job Pudding Head.

If San Deigo get there stuff together Im running the table! Or at least Id better you're only 1 behind!!!!!
So was KC & SD. Gotta give props to KC going for the 2 point conversion for the win at the end instead of the tie. KC was my upset pick that I needed, but oh well.

Yeah, I saw the last 50 seconds of that. Scoring three touchdowns and losing 20-19 has to hurt.
Ugh. My picks have been 9 different kinds of suck this weekend; I've only gotten 8 right so far. I'll need both the Giants to win tonight and the Cardinals tomorrow night to salvage anything.
Ugh. I just finished doing my picks for the week. I did *not* like having to choose the winners for the Saints-Chiefs and Titans-Jaguars games -- I feel like I'll have made the wrong picks either way. Call me crazy, but I smell upsets for those two match-ups.

I smell Jags upset all the way. Division games are almost always interesting, and the AFC South, imo, is even more chaotic, in the micro sense. Even though the Colts had a heck of a run in terms of winning the division for the last 5 years or so, almost every game has been really close. As for the Chiefs... I have little faith they'll upset the Saints. Having the Chiefs on local station makes you realize just how bad they really are.
Picking the upsets is tough. However, I doubt the Titans are going to go 16-0 so this is a good game to bet against them. I picked the Chiefs last week and they almost pulled it off. I'm picking them this week because the Saints are too inconsistent, can't stop anyone, can't run the ball.
I concur with both your analyses on the Titans-Jaguars game, which is why I went with Jacksonville. And Hosa has highlighted perfectly why I've picked KC over New Orleans, as I think the Chiefs have a real chance winning this one.
That said, however, both match-ups carry a strong aura of Murphy's Law: Since I've picked the two underdogs to win, they'll surely lose. But if I'd picked the Titans and Saints, then *they'd* be the ones to lose. I feel like I'm cursed no matter which way I go.
Dang... Looks like I'm gonna miss the San Fran/St. Louis game. However, I can still hold out hope for a one loss week. (I aint gonna count a tie, of course)
