NFL Pick'em Challenge

[DarthFed]

Yeah I'm not sure how Williams was allowed to coach in the league again. Moreover it's not like he is thought to be one of the top D Coordinators so that made it more surprising that another team would want him.

The Baltimore play was all on the idiot safety who basically was a stone statue. This one was even more ridiculous for the coverage called (except it wasn't at the end of a playoff game).

Ok so this week is a 3 way tie:

AP was 11-3
KS was 11-3
Darth was 11-3
Didi was 10-4
Billie was 8-6

AP is 59-31
Darth is 57-33
KS is 55-35
Nehmeth is 54-36 (gave him 8-6, tie for worst record this week)
Billie is 51-39
Didi is 42-48

Week 7: Philly and Tampa on bye so 15 games.

Jets @ Pats (Thursday): Pats. They've done the usual and turned the corner after a rough start. And playing a couple crappy teams will help them get fat. Pats

Falcons @ Ravens - Ravens. They seem for real and Atlanta has all sorts of problems. Awful defense and poor offensive line, doesn't matter how good your receivers and QB are with that.

Titans @ Redskins - Redskins
Seahawks @ Rams - Seahawks. They'll be ticked and ready to go
Browns @ Jaguars - Browns
Bengals @ Colts - Good game if Green was playing. He's not so this should be Colts easily.
Vikings @ Bills - Bills
Dolphins @ Bears - Bears. Dolphins are decent defense but at home Chicago should get by.
Saints @ Lions - No Jimmy Graham and Megatron might play. Saints are desperate though. I am going with Detroit with assumption Megatron is in. If not I might switch. EDIT: Switching to New Orleans

Panthers @ Pack - Should be all Green Bay here. Carolina has hung on by a thread to get to 3-2-1 and GB has found it's offense. The one problem is that Shields and Williams (starting CB's) could be out which would make this a game.

Chiefs @ Chargers - Tough one to call, I'm going with KC
Cards @ Raiders - Cards
Giants @ Cowboys - This is the type of game Dallas loses the last 10 years...just when you think they're good. But without Cruz and Jennings the Giants should be awful on offense. Dallas wins this.

49ers @ Denver - Denver. Teams should never overlook opponents but they should look ahead on the schedule. If the 49ers did they would see the game last night as a must win because this is almost certainly a loss.

Texans @ Steelers - Texans

Damn.. This week is gonna be Darth's and KS revenge.. they know that my Niners may be without my top dawg Patrick Willis and one of our starting CB.. Peyton is gonna kill us.. So I will have to pick the Broncos to stay ahead of those two

I notice that you are pretty consistent with the betting odds from Vegas, correct?

 

[DarthFed]

I don't look at the spreads until I am deciding whether or not to bet. I know New England is 10 point favorites tomorrow so that is a line to avoid IMO.

But I feel that I can usually guess within 1 or 1.5 points what the spread will be before I see it. But there are often ones that surprise me and when they do that inherently means it should be a decent game to bet on.

Megatron's status is still up in the air but sounds like he won't play. I'm switching my original pick to New Orleans.

[the AntiPusher]

Question.. Why am I the only one picking the SuperChargers? Do you guys know something I dont?:huh:

 

[DarthFed]

I just expect them to come down to Earth at some point and the 2-3 Chiefs are going to be desperate. My boy Charles will be ready to carve them up.

Edited. I am going with the Chargers.

 

[Didi]

sorry a bit late but just in time before TNF

Jets@Pats - the jets stink, even more than the feet of rex ryans wife
Falcons@Ravens - disappointed with Mike Nolan's Falcons, worst defensive unit in the league
Titans@Redskins
Seahawks@Rams - Rams are my favorite franchise but the seahawks have to win, any record under 12-4 won't be enough to win the division and one of eagles/cowboys/49ers/cardinals/seahawks won't make the playoffs.
Browns@Jaguars
Bengals@Colts
Vikings@Bills
Dolphins@Bears
Saints@Lions
Panthers@Packers - I think the Pack will lose in New Orleans next week before they head into their bye-week so this one is a must win
Chiefs@Chargers - andy reid's famous clock management will allow Rivers one final possession to win the game
Cardinals@Raiders
Giants@Cowboys
49ers@Broncos
Texans@Steelers - the steelers are undergoing a painful rebuild but they take this one, obviously, because this franchise can't accept losing to the browns, changes could be coming, the team will be better next time and unleash hell on their opponents, at least mike tomlin said so, obviously. watt to scare the hell out of benny though.

Darth.. I think that you caught me this week.. Damn Superchargers screwed me this week

 

[DarthFed]

I've picked up a game so far. KS and Billie are also 10-4, KS and I have Houston and Billie has Pitt.

Chargers vs. KC, I played the record. KC's season was just about on the line and the overachieving Chargers were happy to be 5-1. Having a lot more on the line might be a bigger advantage than HCA when you think about it. If KC had been 3-2 or 4-1 I'd have picked San Diego.

I bet KC straight up as 4 point underdogs and made some decent cash, and the bookies continue to give stupid lines on the Colts games. Indy has been a golden goose for me this year. Without AJ Green the Bengals should have been 6-7 point underdogs instead of 3. At 7 points I'd have stayed away from that game. Was a good week after I took it on the chin last week betting on Seattle, Minny, and over under for Bears/Falcons.

I hope when the Niners get their all pro players back to get another carck at Peyton and the Broncos..Peyton just broke thier will last night. BTW.. Jay Cutler has just loss the confidence of the team, Brandon Marshall just spoke the Truth.

 

[DarthFed]

The Niners have done decent to be 4-3 at this point. It could be a lot worse as they were fortunate to pull out some of their wins. They will get it together in a few weeks when some of their best players come back but things are getting interesting now with Seattle struggling badly.

As I said a couple weeks ago us Packer fans were thrilled to see the Bears sign Jay to a big deal. Jay and the Bears are who we thought they were!!

Well. I can see ahy you siad that.. but is all about Jay.. his play is not deserving of such a big time QB top salary.. Arod.. last for games has been brilliant.. he shows why he is the cream of the crop.. I like him better than even Peyton because he is not as one dimensional
