Packers Vs. Seahawks

My (unbiased) Pick: Packers


There you have it. What do you guys think?

 

Arizona Cardinals(2-8) Vs. Minnesota Vikings(4-6)

Both of these teams are better then their records show. They both played the NFC's top team, the Bears, very well. Arizona has a better passing game but Minnesota has a much better running game. This game will be decided by Arizona's offensive line. If they can have one of those rare miraculous games where they give the quarterback time to throw and the runningback a little running room, Arizona will win. This is why I'm picking Minnesota.

My Pick: Vikings


Carolina Panthers(6-4) Vs. Washington Redskins(3-7)

If the Panthers lose this game, words won't be able to describe how disappointed I'll be in them. The Panthers are the most inconsistent team in the NFC right now.(lose two, win four, lose two, win two) They have no identity at this point and if they fall to 6-5, they might have to close out the season at 4-1 just to make the playoffs. Jason Campbell had a pretty good game his first time out against Tampa Bay... but this time he's gonna have Julius Peppers in his face in almost every play. 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions will be a good game for him this time around.

My Pick: Panthers


Cincinnati Bengals(5-5) Vs. Cleveland Browns(3-7)

Carson Palmer, Rudi Johnson, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh versus Charlie Frye, Reuben Droughns, Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow?!?!?!

lol

My Pick: Bengals


Houston Texans(3-7) Vs. New York Jets(5-5)

At this point, I need to take a crap and I can't write up an explanation for each pick... so I'm just putting up the picks now.

My Pick: Jets


Jacksonville Jaguars(6-4) Vs. Buffalo Bills(4-6)

My Pick: Jags


New Orleans Saints(6-4) Vs. Atlanta Falcons(5-5)

My Pick: Falcons


Pittsburgh Steelers(4-6) Vs. Baltimore Ravens(8-2)

My Pick: Ravens


San Francisco 49ers(5-5) Vs. St. Louis Rams(4-6)

My Pick: Rams


San Diego Chargers(8-2) Vs. Oakland Raiders(2-8)

My Pick: Chargers


Chicago Bears(9-1) Vs. New England Patriots(7-3)

My Pick: Bears


New York Giants(6-4) Vs. Tennessee Titans(3-7)

My Pick: Giants


Philadelphia Eagles(5-5) Vs. Indianapolis Colts(9-1)

My Pick: Colts


Green Bay Packers(4-6) Vs. Seattle Seahawks(6-4)

My Pick: Seahawks

 

Anybody else watching the Bears/Pats game? It's a good one.

So far, the standings are thus-

MASTERPRENN- 4-4

heels1785- 5-3

Armenian_Jedi- 5-3

 

I could have done without the replays on the Junior Seau injury.

 

Yea...That looked gruesome...

Who do you think is going to end up winning?

I'm leaning towards the Pats still...they are ahead right now, and it's pretty much a deadlock.

 

Come on Bears!!!

 

Here are the standings, with 2 games left for the week!

MASTERPRENN- 5-6

heels1785- 8-3

Armenian_Jedi- 6-5

It's looking like Heels is running away with it, with two games left.

Some good games today.

How about those Steelers?

And those Titans?

 

Anyone care to speculate on the size of Vick's fine?

I say 5K.

 

What do you think it should be?

 

Not sure if you'll accept that but those were my picks on the ST.






~Liar, lawyer, Mirror for ya, What's the difference? Kangaroo be stoned, He's guilty as the government~

 

You can jump in next week, for the competition....Not really sure what we're competing for, though...

Anywho, I'll have final scores up tonight after the Packers beat the Seahawks.

 

Maybe next season we can make this a contest accepted by the mods, winner gets colors for a certain amount of time or something.

Hmmm....

I'll speak to the mods about it.

But, untill then, we can have some fun!


I'll get final scores for this week up tonight or tomorrow, after I finish this paper.

 

And, here are the final standings for this week!

Kudos to AJ and Heels! You guys get like 50 cool points. Or something. I'll see if I can work anything out with the mods to make this thing official, and if not, it will still be fun to keep track.

MASTERPRENN- 5-5

heels1785- 7-3

Armenian_Jedi- 7-3


How about those Packers?

 

I thought ten games seemed like too few so I went back and recounted and there were 13 games, and this is how we all actually did:


MASTERPRENN - 6-7

heels1785 - 10-3

Armenian_Jedi - 8-5

 

Yea...I suck at life. Or it's late, and I'm tired...Anyhow, good job Heels! And thanks for correcting me.

So, how soon do I need to get the next weeks matchups up? Is it okay for you guys if I get them up by Thursday or Friday? I want to leave room for discussion.

 

well, there's a game on thursday... so getting it in a day or two before that would be good. that way people will have more time to get their picks in... and we'll have more than 3 people with picks.

 

Dang, I need to go to bed. Yes!

I will try to have them up Tuesday or Wednesday!

 

Man, wish I would have gotten in this last week. I picked last Wednesday with my brother on his Pig Skin Pick'Em, and I think I only got 2 wrong (St. Louis and New Orleans, I believe).

Well now let me think about next week.
