I went back and forth on the game and settled on Chicago... I thought Cutler would make some great passes... didn't know they'd be to the 49ers.

I actually made my picks Thursday so won't get caught without Sunday 1 o'clock game picks this week! They may not be right, but at least I tried  |

I knew tonight's game was gonna be a barn burner and it didn't disappoint. I, literally, was on the edge of my seat for the last 4 minutes. LOL.

Great ending. Peyton doing his thing, Beli screwing up the call. And I picked NE to win and had a horrible week, 6-8. Think that will be one of my dropped weeks. DFLsports should take this week barring something crazy happening tomorrow night.

My Rams almost pulled off the unthinkable. Maybe that bye week woke them up from the misery of the first 8 weeks.

I still don't get why NE went for it on 4th and 2 from their own 28 yard line. Punt the ball away and force your defense to keep the 6 point lead. You just can't give a team (especially Indy) an opportunity to win the game with that kind of field position.

bad week for pick-em - great week for my Packers.
I'll take that trade-off 10 out of 10 times.

Here is why. we had two healthy D-linemen all of the second half. We couldn't pressure on manning at all without blitzing. When we blitzed him, he picked us apart. Bill saw this and his exhausted defense and said, hey I have a top three QB and the best WR tandem in the NFL, Im going to put the ball in their hands. If we punted, the game would have came down to the redzone, and you saw what happened with Indy in the red zone. Manning to Wayne, touchdown. Kevin faulk drives that route another half yard, and the Pats win this game. I like putting the game in the hands of the unit that kept us in that game and was clicking on all cylinders last night. No regrets, Colts made a big play and then finished us off. Great game from the two best teams in the AFC(sorry kevin and SFCom but I dont think Pitt is as good as the pats or colts).

I'll give you Indy. Not sure the Pats are better. Maybe equal. Quite frankly, I think Cincy and Indy are the class of the AFC this year. |

I can't believe they actually put Cleveland in a Monday Night Game. Baltimore by 24 (at least) Not looking too good for my Falcons, they're going to be fighting the Eagles, Packers, Giants for a wild card, at this point, things could change.
Cincy playing good this year. They also just picked up Larry Johnson. I personally think he's been done since he got that big contract and after watching an Earl Campbell (who really can't walk anymore) Special where he was talking about football not being a top interest and worried about injuries and stuff like that. I don't think his heart is in it. But if he runs anything like he did a few years ago, Bengals just get stronger. Good pickup, because if he works out, great. If not, he's gone after a year.

 Games start tomorrow - Carolina vs. Miami
How does one pick Detroit vs. Cleveland exactly? A real battle there
I think the game should end in a 0-0 tie personally. |

Could it be that a game will have more turnovers than points?
The panthers are looking good lately...tough pick. |

First upset of the week and looks like we all took an 'L' because of it.

I guess it makes the L a little better, not one person picked Miami.
