NFL Pick'em Challenge

[DarthFed]

Thanks for reminding me that the game is in London, so that's a neutral field instead of Dallas @ Jacksonville.

There should be a question with the London game it seems! Tony Romo of The Cowboys doesn't look well; back issues! Why they flew him over there instead of resting with a "BYE" week still makes the experts shake their heads! You would think they'd "run the ball," but this team is owned by a bonehead! Jacksonville Jags are an awful team, but panic has set in after 2 straight losses in Dallas! They're going to send Romo out there and he's going to get blitzed to death; just like last week! The b/up will make it interesting, but looks as if there's a possibility that the "so called" best team in the NFL is sliding fast! :laydownlaughing :lolz: :nono :angel:

:clap Only the biggest Cowboy homers such as Aikman thought Dallas was the best team in the league at 6-1. They got by a bunch of those games by the skin of their teeth and now they are coming back to reality.

I don't need to go look at the record to tell you "The Boys" have no real advantage playing at home for some reason! Since Jimmy Johnson left over 20 years ago, I've seen them lose to teams, "good and bad" when they were favored; esp. by being at home! It all too often wound up being a very ugly loss; even on Thanksgiving when the world is watching! Jones is doing the same thing to his team that Al Davis did to Oakland! Both have a rich history, a great record overall, but what have either done in the last 20 years? They can't even make the playoffs, lucky to be 8-8 the last few seasons! The last playoff win was against a very weak Philly team "ages ago" with a lackluster season for McNabb! The Cowboys have all that talent, but they find a way to lose! No lead is safe, losing games with a 3 TD cushion; nuff said! :nono uzzled :s :dodgy:

Yes they've overachieved this year in a time where the expected NFC powers (Seattle, San Fran, GB and New Orleans) are either doing way worse than expected or are just doing ok (GB). It's a great year for a good team like Philly or Arizona to take advantage but the former just took a big hit.

Darth, I think that Deion, Michael Irvin, Troy and others except Emmitt are still on Jerry's bankroll..They are homers for life..

Just shows how far they've fallen! How embarrassing; the break of a 17 game losing record on the road! You don't want to be the one; now they are! Poor Bengals! :nono uzzled :angel:

Don't feel sorry for them. They deserved that shellacking.

Never trust a Marvin Lewis-led team, especially if Andy Dalton is the QB.

Cali, I have no clue who Marvin Lewis is. Next time give me your tip before the game, please!

Frankly, I fear for Chiefs in this game against Bills.

That was a narrow, perhaps a little bit lucky, win for Chiefs, thanks to Charles and Smith. What would they do without Charles?:exclamation:

Come on Giants, I needed you last week, not this week.:snigger

It figures with nothing on the line Eli turns into Peyton! lol! Seahawks have really struggled after winning SB! Not as much braggadocio going on or heard of from classic big-mouths like Sherman! :nono uzzled :cover

Granted I don't know much about football, but it does seem like Seahawks are a different team than last year. I guess there is something in saying that it is easier to win than to defend, no matter what sport it is.

It is still a long way to go in this game, Seattle might as easily come back and win this one.

I forgot to change my pick in London game, even though I was warned a couple of days ago.:cover

Congrats AP, your team battled and won today!!!:clap

Seahawks lost a few players on defense and their only good receiver in Golden Tate. Also, their defense had a historically good season. Even if they had everyone back they almost certainly wouldn't have played like they did last year.
