First weeks Survivor Football Picks
« on: September 09, 2004, 07:40:34 PM »
Team Pick Opponent  
  Ted                    HOU over SDG  
  westkoast           MIN over DAL  
  Bods Ballers        MIN over DAL  
  Lurker                 NYJ over CIN  
  RealityKCChiefs   BAL over CLE  
  Ziggy                  STL over ARI  
  Wolverine            STL over ARI  
  WOW                  CHI over DET  
  spursfan101         DAL over MIN  
  ziggys son           PHI over NYG  
  jn                       MIN over DAL  

Well we will have at least 1 maybe 3 who are out in week #1, as 3 picked the Vikes over Dallas, and 1 picked Dallas over the Vikes.  Looks like JN and SF101 made homer picks.  I was going with Baltimore over Cleveland until the last minute I decided to go with St Louis.  St. Louis has burned in Football pickem over the years, but the fool I am I have to grab the hot poker just to check if it is hot, so I am sure I will get burned.

Anyone want to justify their picks?

Every good football player wearing cowboy blue does blow.  Oh ya and that one guy, that one, who runs fast, and catches the ball for Minn.   B)

Home team
Playing a bad road team
Saving powerhouses for later rounds


I almost picked the same game as WOW....Chicago at home vs Detroit for the same reasons as above.  However the Bears have new coaching and too many new offensive sets...they may actually lose their home opener to one of the historically (at least recently)  crappy road teams in the NFL.

That fast guy that westkoast mentioned?  His best games come against the Cowboys.  :hotbounce:

And yeah, just a touch of homer picking.

Cowboys. Finally have an experienced QB again.  Have Keshawn and other fast receivers. Rookie J. Jones and Eddie George. Cowboys over Vikes.

Say bye to two people off of this list.

Ho Ho!! 101 comes to bring Homerism to new heights.   "Keyshawn and other fast receivers."  That implies that Keyshawn is fast.  He isn't and neither is Terry Glenn.  Key is a fast talker as  he seems to have convinced a lot of people that he is a superstar when in fact he is merely a good but not great posession receiver.  I could probably think of 30 receivers I would take over Keyshawn.  He was drafted in the 12 round of my fantasy league, and rightly so.

I really like Vinny and Eddie but come on...They are so far past their prime they are stinking up the fridge.  And Julius Jones? Who's to say he won't start out just like his big brother Thomas.  In other words, a total bust.

truth be told, I'm not REALLY a Cowboys fan. I was an Oilers fan (one of five in the whole state I think).

Aaah okay.  You'll appreciate this story then.  My sister-in-law went to Texas when Earl Campbell was there.  One night she was studying in the same dorm lounge as Campbell.  She got up and left for a couple minutes and when she came back Earl was gone.  However he had left her something. Scrawled on her notebook was bunch of Muhammed Ali style rantings. "I am Earl Campbell!  I am unstoppable!! I am Earl Campbell the greatest!!"

Agree 100%, you pretty much described my line on thinking.  There is a risk going with the Bears on opening day but I think this may be my only shot at picking them for a win.

ppppssssssshhhhh.

well that was fast.
My reasoning was that Baltimores D would still be tough. It was, Clevs last 10 points were off late Baltimore O turnovers.

I did not anticipate Balts O being so lame.  Knew Cleveland would key on Jamall Lewis after his combined 500 yard performance last year.  So duh, recievers catch a pass.

Congrats to the advancers.

I made it 2 weeks last year.  It is not as easy as you think.  Of course with 17 weeks we can always set up another league, I doubt very seriously if any body last more than 6 weeks.
