Only 2 of us were left after week one, and it took until week 8, for Joe to finally win.  I picked the 5-1 Tampa Bay Buc's over the 1-5 SF 49ers, and Chucky and the boys chose this week to crash and burn.
Joe selected Cincy over Green Bay.

Well done Joe.

Unless you are a group member you can't view the page.  Here are the results

Derek forgot to set up a game week 1, so he was bumped before picking a game.
Same thing with Ted.

Skander and Caleb both picked Denver to beat Miami in week one.  Miami won 34-10

My picks were
PIT 34, TEN 7
PHI 42, SFO 3
IND 13, CLE 6
CIN 16, HOU 10
DEN 21, WAS 19
SEA 42, HOU 10
WAS 52, SFO 17
and then got bumped when Tampa lost to San Fran

Joes picks were
PIT 34, TEN 7
PHI 42, SFO 3
IND 13, CLE 6

cool yes i remember we did this a few years ago.  Very interesting.

Is there a national site, wonder how many make it past 12?  16 - 16 must be lotto odds.

I wouldn't beat yourself up for TBay over Frisco.  However I was wondering when Frisco was finally going to finish a game, they've been in about every one into the 4th qtr.  TBays offense. :nonono:

Joe is at 8.  Would like to see some big boards.  I'll bet 8 and better eliminates 90% of participants, no?

Tonight the Ravens blow it in the end as did the Bills sunday.  I don't think Pitts and New England are all that this year.  But they finish games.

We'll see how long I can keep it going.  I've got the following teams I can no longer use:

PIT, PHI, IND, CAR, DEN, TAM, WAS, CIN

For this week, I'll take Jacksonville over Houston in Jacksonville.

I think I will take the Eagles over Drew Rosenhaus.  I think they will kick his arse.

Solid pick.  Certainly one would hope NYG will continue their unbeaten streak at home vs MN for 10-0.

Joe I don't want to mess up your vibe but i can't help thinking

#11
Seattle at San Francisco (even tho SF is the best 2-6 team out there.)
KC at Hou but KC is too inconsistent and Priest is out.

#12
ATL at Detroit

But that is also because I consider 12-12 to be surpassing 99% of the U.S. and global picking pickers.  Oh wait, the gambling overlords.  Zig come in with the stats.

Of all the weeks to lay an egg, Eli Manning had to pick today.

Props for the 9 straight.

Yup.  Bound to happen sometime, though.
