2013 NFL Season: Weekly Picks

[kskate2]

Yeah that was a crazy day. Even up 21-0 I figured it was 50-50 at best for Tampa. There is a reason they are now 0-8! The Chiefs were toast if Tuel Time didn't deliver a 14 point swing with a 101 yard pick six. Philly and Washington scored semi-surprise victories IMO. Houston choked away the game tonight too. Only the Jets held on for a big upset. Hope the Packers don't get the bug tomorrow.

coach gary k collapses and john fox suffered a possible heart attack, what gives

Haven't heard about Kubiak yet but John Fox has some heart valve issue that will require surgery. It is pretty bizarre that both had problems within 24 hours of each other. The conservative play calling in the 2nd half cost the Texans.

Also not kicking a FG in the 1Q when they already had 7 points on the board. It's the 1Q, take the points goofy as you don't know how the rest of the game is going to fair.

Yes that was a stupid call especially at home. But then their kicker missed 3 field goals...a lot went wrong for Houston to blow that one and that is likely the end of their season too.

Week 9 Picks: Darth, looks like we agree for the first time this season.

Bengals @ Dolphins - Cinci
Falcons @ Panthers - Caro
Vikings @ Cowboys - The Boys
Saints @ Jets - Saints
Titans @ Rams - Titans
Chiefs @ Bills - Bills. I agree Chiefs undefeatedness ends here.
Chargers @ Redskins - Chargers
Eagles @ Raiders - Raiders
Bucs @ Seahawks - Hawks
Ravens @ Browns - Ravens
Steelers @ Patriots - Pats
Colts @ Texans - Colts
Bears @ Packers - The Pack

Same picks, it was bound to happen at some point. For the first time all year, good luck with your picks :lolz:

Looking over the games again there are a bunch of tough ones; the one tonight, Chiefs @ Bills, Ravens @ Browns, and even San Diego @ Washington (if RG3 is in). Makes it surprising we agree on all of them...

Our picks aren't fairing too well. We're already 4 in the hole. Hope the Pack doesn't lay an egg tonight.

 

[DarthFed]

Yep, none of the tough calls went our way (Cincy - Miami, SD - Wash, KC - Buffalo, Balt - Cleveland). Ugly week. McCarthy better prep the troops because the Bears will be coming out full force trying to break a 6 game losing streak to GB. Also I hear there might be rain which could somewhat neutralize the Pack's, shall we say, overwhelming advantage at QB.

This season has been some horrid coaching decisions and Leon Lett type of dumb plays by the players.

 

[DarthFed]

Well this game and possibly season is over. This qualifies as the worst sports moment in some time. The one way the Packers were going to lose tonight happened and decent chance it is a broken collarbone which means end of Packers season if he is gone 4-5 weeks.

I hope not cause Arodgers is an excellent player, don't won't to see the packers loose their best weapon, not like this

 

[Didi]

Ridiculous week indeed. AntiPusher and me won this week with 7-6. :snigger
Darth and Kate both 6-7 and Britbox 5-8.

Current standings after week 9:

86-47 Darth Fed
83-50 Didi
82-51 AntiPusher
81-52 KsKate2
77-57 Britbox

Valuable lesson learned is to always have a suitable backup no matter what the price. The Packers had been excellent in that regard until 2012 where they've had complete jokes backing up Rodgers. You have even a poor backup in there last night and the Pack probably wins. Now if Rodgers is out for 3 or more weeks this season is over.

EDIT: And that depends on whether they pick someone up. At this point I'd be more than happy if they got Favre off his lawn mower instead of Wallace. Also maybe they can get Flynn back. If I see Seneca in again I'm going to be pissed beyond belief.

I thought they should have kept Vince young, most likely they will bring back to overrated Flynn. He should play for free because he his career was boosted beyond belief when he backed up Rodgers a few years ago

You are right about Vince Young and I was upset when they released him. Flynn played 2 full games for GB and did excellent so I'd love to have him back. He knows the system and is a huge step up from Wallace. Thompson paid for his arrogance yesterday, you need a decent backup qb for situations like this. Obviously a backup isn't getting the Packers to the playoffs if he had to play most of the year, but a decent one can hold the ship for a few weeks. How ever many games AR misses is how ever many games they will lose in a row unless they get someone decent. This team goes from 12-4 with AR to 8-8 with an average starter to 3-13 with a mega clown.

 

[nehmeth]

Checking the news, it seems we'll find out sometime today the extent of the injury.

 

[DarthFed]

Out at least 3 weeks with a small fracture in his collarbone is what I'm hearing. Likely the end of the Packers unless they manage to go 1-2.

 

[britbox]

Ridiculous week indeed. AntiPusher and me won this week with 7-6. :snigger

Good luck Baron. :velo: I'm about to go on vaca again. My picks during vacation are usually pretty good.

Rested brain vs. a work addled brain? Guaranteed upswing.

Redskins @ Vikes - Wash
Eagles @ GB - Eagles. Foles seems to be pretty solid. Even with AR this might not have been easy. Sure loss without him.

Jags @ Titans - Titans
Bills @ Steelers - Pitt
Raiders @ Giants - Giants
Rams @ Colts - Indy
Seahawks @ Atlanta - Seahawks
Bengals @ Ravens - Ravens
Lions @ Bears - Tough one to call. I think Detroit is better but Chicago at home with confidence from last week. I think Chicago wins.
Panthers @ 49ers - San Fran. Will be interested to see how Carolina does, they do look good.
Texans @ Arizona - Texans
Broncos @ Chargers - Denver
Cowboys @ New Orleans - New Orleans
Dolphins @ Bucs - Tampa gets their first win. Tampa may stink but they are keeping all these losses close unlike Jacksonville. Only a matter of time before they win one.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Redskins
Eagles
Titans
Steelers
Giants
Colts
FalconsFalcons are a desperate team and Seattle cannot continue these Houdini comeback finishes but this is the one team and head coach I don't trust. I know this pick will comeback to haunt me
Bengals
Lions
49ers
Cardinals
ChargersChargers typically play the Broncos tough at home
Saints
BuccaneersI don't care for either team or their organizational structures

this is a very tough week
