2013 NFL Season: Weekly Picks

[DarthFed]

Darth Fed. the 49ers and da Packers are both 1-2.. What gives:huh:

I'm not worried about the Packers yet, but there is plenty of reasons to worry about the 49ers so far. Really bad home loss and Aldon Smith will be gone a long time now.

Just one of those games for GB. Rodgers played one of his worst games as a pro (no exaggeration) and 2 other really costly turnovers on top of it. If either team had played well (ie didn't have 4 TO's) they'd have won easily.

Well in the words of Samson, I am not happy with him, Harbaugh.. Jim is coaching like a chump again just like he did in the final 5 minutes of the Super Bowl

Harbaugh is a good coach but he needs to reign the team in. I don't think Kaepernick is as toned down as he acts, I get the sense he thought it would be all easy after having a great year in 2012.

The Packers problem is that they are putrid in close games under McCarthy. Amongst other things it is starting to speak poorly on McCarthy and even Rodgers. The latter is absolutely amazing while the former is greatly overrated and has an ego on him that has been passed onto the team.

Agreed about both team... Its really gonna be interesting to see how this Packers team match up with da Bears..

DarthFed..Check this out..

Grandfather Clay Sr. played 4 years in the NFL.
Son Clay II played 19 years in the NFL as linebacker. Son Bruce is an NFl HOFer and 14 time probowler.

Grandsons include:

Clay III Green Bay
Casey, Oregon
Kevin, C, Tenn Titans
Jake, T, Texas A&M.

Is there a bloodline even close to this?

 

[DarthFed]

Yes it is crazy AP. Thank God the Pack has Clay, the defense isn't often good with him but it is ALWAYS really bad when he is off the field with injury.

Week 3 Results: KS was 8-8, Darth Fed was 9-7, AP was 7-9, Didi was 9-7, BB was 7-9, Fedfan was 6-10

Onto Week 4:

San Fran @ St. Louis - SF
Ravens @ Bills - Ravens
Bengals @ Browns - Bengals
Bears @ Lions - Detroit
Giants @ Chiefs - New York is eventually going to win a couple and turn it around and it starts here
Steelers - Vikings in London - Vikings
Cardinals @ Bucs - Tampa gets their first win
Colts @ Jacksonville - Colts
Seahawks @ Texans - Seattle is a different team on the road but they, along with Denver, look like the cream of the crop. Seattle in a close one
Jets @ Titans - Titans
Eagles @ Broncos - Broncos
Redskins @ Raiders - Redskins to get their first win.
Cowboys @ Chargers - San Diego.
Pats @ Falcons - Atlanta. Probably the toughest one to call but Atlanta will be desperate and they are great at home.

We already know how they match up with Da Bears AP. It ain't pretty for Chicago because it turns into Rodgers vs. Cutler more times than not.

 

[Didi]

Kskate2: 9-7
Darth: 13-3
Didi: 11-5
Baron: 9-6-0
AP: 9-7

Britbox was 12-4, AP was 12-4, Didi was 12-4, I was 11-5 and KsKate was 12-4.

KS was 8-8, Darth Fed was 9-7, AP was 7-9, Didi was 9-7, BB was 7-9, Fedfan was 6-10

The current records/standings:

33-15 DarthFed
32-16 Didi
29-19 Kskate2
28-19 Britbox
28-20 AntiPusher
18-30 Fedfan

In case you wonder about Fedfan's record, in order to give him a realistic chance to compete and to catch up I just multiplied his record from this week with 3. I hope that's ok. It's very close at the top so far with Darth leading and the rest of us within striking distance. So far everybody made 48 picks except for Fedfan and Britbox who missed the season opener between the Broncos and Ravens.

Believe it or not... the way that a Chicago Bear team is measured is how well they perform and win against the Pack.. This is one of the reasons Lovie lost his gig as headcoach. Beating GB and the playoffs is all that matters to real Bear fans(I am a Niner but always like to see the hometown fair well).. Its true that Jay doesn't play well against Rodgers, Clay and the boys... a few more bad outings vs the Pack or doesn't make it deep into the playoffs.. Jay may be on his way out like Lovie.

 

[the AntiPusher]

This is the week that AP rises from the ashes like the great fire bird Phoenix

I know all about it. Chicago has been taking it on the chin from Green Bay for 20 years now starting with Favre. Lovie was not the problem though. The problem is that they have a barely above average qb going against the best qb in the league and nothing has changed as of now. Bears defense is on its way down but the offense has compensated nicely so far. Big test this week in Detroit.

 

[DarthFed]

Eagles upset Denver, AP? Interestingly I have a weird feeling about that game too. I suspect it will be close at the very least.

 

[britbox]

San Fran @ St. Louis - 49ers
Ravens @ Bills - Ravens
Bengals @ Browns - Bengals
Bears @ Lions - Bears
Giants @ Chiefs - Giants
Steelers - Vikings in London - Steelers
Cardinals @ Bucs - Bucs
Colts @ Jacksonville - Colts
Seahawks @ Texans - Texans
Jets @ Titans - Jets
Eagles @ Broncos - Broncos
Redskins @ Raiders - Redskins
Cowboys @ Chargers - Chargers
Pats @ Falcons - Pats

 

[Didi]

my picks for week 4:

49ers @ Rams
Ravens @ Bills
Cardinals @ Buccaneers
Steelers @ Vikings
Giants @ Chiefs
Colts @ Jaguars
Seahawks @ Texans
Bengals @ Browns
Bears @ Lions
Jets @ Titans
Redskins @ Raiders
Eagles @ Broncos
Cowboys @ Chargers
Patriots @ Falcons
Dolphins @ Saints

 

[DarthFed]

Hey everyone I messed up and forgot to include the Monday night game.

Miami @ New Orleans - New Orleans. Everyone except Didi needs to pick this game. I will send PM's, in the case that someone doesn't pick it I think it will be fair to "give them" New Orleans as the pick because they are a heavy favorite.

Sorry about the mistake.

 

[britbox]

Saints for my MNF pick

 

[the AntiPusher]

I pick Saints over Miami... Houston is such a dumb chickenhearted team... they just laid down for the Hawks at the end. Matt S isn't an elite QB..

 

[DarthFed]

KS picks NO as well so no harm done. Hopefully I won't make that mistake again, only reason I caught it is that I know only 2 teams are on bye and I saw I had only picked 14 games.
