2013 NFL Season: Weekly Picks

[DarthFed]

Heck DarthFed. you are so far ahead I doubt if anyone catch you before late November.. good pick em the Lions over the Bears, same ole Jay.. cant blame it on Lovie and the OC now

I think I'm only 1 up on Didi. Yes, same old Jay. The NFC North gets spiced up only if Detroit wins next week otherwise it should be all GB in the end. Rodgers alone is better than the other 3 teams, it'd be weak to lose it.

I see that Didi is close but once the good teams have established their identities it your picks will get better and it will be like trying to stop Peyton's offense

I wish I was as knowledgeable as you think, KS kicked my ass last year and my bets on the games today have gone terribly

How bout them Giants? 0 for. Cowboys didn't do themselves a favor losing today (2-2) and next week they play Denver and the altitude. Could be under .500 next week. I knew the Bears would lose as Jay would show his true colors eventually. Pitt & Houston disappointed me. I thought Big Ben would turn it around and he did play better today, but still are winless. Houston should have their player card's revoked w/ that performance in the 4Q and OT.

 

[Didi]

Darth Fed, kskate2 and AntiPusher are all 10-5.
I was 9-6 and Britbox 7-8.

Current standings after week 4:

43-20 DarthFed
41-22 Didi
39-24 Kskate2
38-25 AntiPusher
35-27 Britbox

Darth still leading and close to a remarkable 70 percent success rate so far with the rest of us within strinking distance. So far everybody picked 63 matches except for Britbox who missed the season opener Ravens@Broncos.

Thanks for taking the time to do the number Didi.

Thanks Didi, I thought 10-5 was pretty solid given how close some of these were. Someone at my office went 14-1 believe it or not and only missed San Diego-Dallas. Knowledgeable dude but I still am shocked he would pick Cleveland over Cincy.

 

[DarthFed]

Onto week 5: Minnesota, Pitt, Tampa Bay and Washington have byes so there are 14 games.

Bills @ Browns - Cleveland
Saints @ Bears - Chicago. Saints are a much different team out of that dome, and Chicago will get a few turnovers

Pats @ Bengals - Patriots. They appear to be better than expected, feels like I've been thinking that for 5 years now.

Lions @ Green Bay - Packers. This qualifies as a huge game already at 1-2, and after a bye coming off the hideous loss to Cincy they should rebound. Detroit is for real though so the Pack can't afford another bad game from Rodgers...well they can't ever afford a bad game from him it appears.

Chiefs @ Titans - Titans
Seahawks @ Indy - Indy. Seattle is an average team when you get them away from home, after Schaub's gift last week they will likely go 5-3 on the road and it will be good enough to get home field in NFC.

Jags @ Rams - Rams
Ravens @ Miami - Miami
Eages @ Giants - Eagles. They are both bad but New York looks a lot worse.
Carolina @ Arizona - Arizona
Denver @ Dallas - Denver
Texans @ San Fran - San Fran
Chargers @ Raiders - San Diego
Jets @ Falcons - Atlanta

 

[Didi]

Tough week with so many coin toss matchups that could go either way really. And barely a slam dunk-pick out there waiting. Time to make some gutsy picks.

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

 

[the AntiPusher]

Bills @ Browns
Patriots @ Bengals
Lions @ Packers
Seahawks @ Colts the Colts are better than we thought they were and will not wilt under pressure like Matt Schuab did last weekend.
Ravens @ Dolphins
Saints @ Bears
Eagles @Giantsthe Eagles pass rush is poor so for this week, I believe in Eli and Coach Tom is livid with his team
Chiefs @ TitansAmbush game, the Titans play well at home
Jaguars @ Rams
Panthers @ Cardinals
Broncos @ Cowboys JJ and Jason have too many issues with the defense in lue of the Morris Claiborne confidence situation. Please disregard my previous statement
Texans @ 49ers
Chargers @ Raiders
Jets @ Falcons

A Super Bowl preview? The only way Dallas will be there is if they buy tickets! They might win the NFC Least by default.

No No. not a SuperBowl preview but Jerry Jones will make the players think they are playing in one. Feel me..However, I changed my pick in lue of the recent lack of confidence in regards to the cb Morris Claibourne..

tony romo has probably one playoff win, two playoff appearances in his 10 plus years as a Dallas qb and Jerry just gave him one of the biggest contracts ever.. Jerry is that delusional

Good point, I'm afraid it is a lot more than 2 playoff appearances. Has to be at least 4, and all ending in catastrophe for Jerry's girls.

Bills @ Browns - Cleveland
Saints @ Bears - Saints are a better team, but the Bears always win when the Saints come marching to Soldier Field

Chiefs @ Titans - Titans
Seahawks @ Indy - Indy
Jags @ Rams - Rams
Ravens @ Miami - Miami
Eagles @ Giants - Giants get their first win
Carolina @ Arizona - Arizona
Denver @ Dallas - Denver
Texans @ San Fran - San Fran
Chargers @ Raiders - San Diego
Jets @ Falcons - Atlanta

Eagles win today, and I'm wondering why they've been starting Vic instead of Foles. He had a very good game and seems significantly more adept as a passer than the diminutive "dog lover".

Watching Denver v. Dallas. I've never been a P. Manning fan, but he is ridiculous with how well he reads defenses.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Dallas has not much of a defense and Peyton made them look like a jr college team. Tony Romo played excellent and should not be blamed for the loss although he made an ill advised pass. Darth Fed, I told you that Jerry would have the Boys competing like they were in the SB.

 

[DarthFed]

I had a feeling Dallas would make a game of it, but didn't expect 99 combined points. Must have been a heck of a game, unfortunately I missed it.

It was a very entertaining game. Manning goes to the line, sees the defense reads it and makes the adjustments, pointing out players and making sure his guys see them before he'll take the snap. Romo had an excellent game passing for over 500 yards, but it got a little tarnished with an interception that led to a score for the Broncos.

Both teams were going up and down the field so often (and so quickly) I was waiting for them to pull out the basketball gear and set up baskets on the goal posts.
