Den 34 Cle 30

and Strike is ahead again.

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.

[Strike For The South]

Ugh

[seireikhaan]

Sweet.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Colts/steelers was pretty intense.

[Hosakawa Tito]

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.

[Martok]

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.

[Csargo]

Go San Francisco

[Strike For The South]

I should've picked the 49ers Singletary has lit a fire under dem boys

[Yoyoma1910]

Saints=another reason for people in New Orleans to drink.

Damn, that was a crazy game! I thought 'Frisco was actually going to pull it off there at the end.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Thursday game again folks...

[Martok]

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.

[Hosakawa Tito]

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.

[Martok]

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.

[Ramses II CP]

If the Chiefs win that game (On anything but a wild fluke) I'll...

...admit I'm wrong about how terrible they are.

You and me both.

[Martok]

Wow. Congrats to Ichigo and 'khaan for picking the Jets over the Patriots! Who'd have thunk it?

[Csargo]

Hmm... I thought I had picked the Pats. I guess it was good I didn't.

[Hosakawa Tito]

Looks like I picked the wrong upset, again. Good job.

[seireikhaan]

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Patriots D can't manage a stop in overtime...psh.

[Strike For The South]

Who did I tick off? Dead last and sucking pond water...fantastic Makakikhan is undeafeated! dangggggg

[Sasaki Kojiro]

INCHES I tell you INCHES

[Martok]

Of course both KC and Atlanta lose. Figures.

[seireikhaan]

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)
