Got my wish on the Titans :check:
Got my wish on the Broncos :check:
Got my wish on the Packers :check:
Got my wish on the Bengals :check:

A pretty good wish list result! :D

[notacon]

Week 1 was pretty brutal for me. I went only 7-8 or .467 (with one tie that is not worth counting because it does not effect winning percentage)

This week, after going through the games my picks inadvertently end up being a home field bonanza, with 14 home team winning. I suspect that several of those home teams I have winning....won’t. :D:

But the Bills will BEAT THE CRAP out of Tennessee. Finally getting them at home, before a rabid crowd on Monday Night (2nd home game on Monday night in 14 years), season home opener, this is going to be fun to watch (and seeing Opi eat crow is the cherry on top :D:)

Anyway, here are my week 2 picks....

Week 2


Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs


Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens


New York Jets at Cleveland Browns


Washington Commanders at Detroit Lions


Indianapolis Colts at Jacksonville Jaguars


Tampa Bay Buccaneers at New Orleans Saints

Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers

I'm hoping for at least an 85% correct rate but after last week who know's anymore.

[Cntrygal]

Week 1 was brutal for me... not so much for mom

Me: 7-8-1
Mom: 9-6-1

We both took the Chiefs :ill: tonight - I'll post the screenshots later.

[cookie G]

Im liking the Chargers tonight. Mack looked to be a huge addition last week. And I didn't realize how depleted the Cards D was last week.

[Woodman]

Well off to a flying start at 0-1 :check:

Some really strange play calling but whatever.

[notacon]

Last week was much better than week 1 for me. I improved to 11-5 (from a dismal 7-8) and now stand above .500 for the season.....18-13, .581. Yeah!! :rolleyes:

Week 3 is getting very interesting. With two of the five remaining winless teams playing each other, both of which were playoff teams last year, the loser may be sealing their fate as one of the 2021 playoff teams not getting there this year.

Some factoids from ESPN (https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/insider/story/_/id/34636333/ranking-0-2-nfl-teams-eliminated-alive-2022-playoff-race-bengals-raiders-titans-panthers-falcons-recover).....



Since 2022, just 9.6% of teams that started 0-2 have made it to the postseason, and while that seems survivable, no 0-2 team has made it to the postseason since 2018.

(and more ominously).....

Since 2002, 98 teams have started 0-3. One of those teams (the 2018 Texans (https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/schedule/_/name/hou/season/2018)) made it to the playoffs....


OUCH!!!!

The Titans looked nothing like a playoff team against the Bills. While the Raiders got burned in OT, they are clearly playing better that Tennessee. I’m picking Las Vegas to pretty much bury the Titans playoff dreams.


Here are my week 3 picks....


<tbody>
Week 3


Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns


New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers


Houston Texans at Chicago Bears


Kansas City Chiefs at Indianapolis Colts


Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins


Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings


Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots


Cincinnati Bengals at New York Jets


Las Vegas Raiders at Tennessee Titans


Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders


Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Chargers


Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals


Atlanta Falcons at Seattle Seahawks


Green Bay Packers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers


San Francisco 49ers at Denver Broncos


Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants

</tbody>


Cincy salvages their season, and I’m picking the Giants over Dallas because I HATE the Cowboys (they are NOT “America’s team”) and Brain Daboll has earned some accolades as the Cinderella team of the first two weeks.

[Cntrygal]

Mom is kicking my ass!

She went 11-5 (20-11-1) last week, while I "improved" to 8-8 (15-16-1).

[Cntrygal]

Why'd you put a check mark next to the Steelers game since you got it wrong? (as did I... mom got it right though - I may need to start reading the notes she's taking while I'm at work!)

[notacon]

Picking games early in the year is really difficult. I had another horrible week with a dismal 7-9 record for week 3. Still barely holding my head above .500 for the year at .532.

Here are my week 4 picks....


<tbody>
Week 4


Miami Dolphins at Cincinnati Bengals


Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints


Cleveland Browns at Atlanta Falcons


Buffalo Bills at Baltimore Ravens


Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys


Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions


Los Angeles Chargers at Houston Texans


Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts


Chicago Bears at New York Giants

Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders


Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay Buccaneers


Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers

</tbody>


I’m projecting no undefeated teams after this week.....just the way the NFL wants it.

Miami, coming off a emotional win (that they really did not deserve) against the Bills, their defense is going to pay the price of being on the field for 90 plays, in the heat and humidity. Going against a desperate Cincy, at home, who cannot afford to go 1-3.

I’m picking against the Eagles....just because. So many of the picks the first three weeks that looked like no brainers, turn out the opposite. Why not the Jags gong into Philly and coming out with a win??

[Cntrygal]

Crappy picture - I'm having all kinds of techy issues lately. I'm suuuurrre that it just can't be operator error. :rolleyes:


Anyway - mom is kicking ass and the pressure is on. She went 11-5 for the second week in a row (31-16-1) and I "improved" to 9-7 (24-23-1).

We haven't finished our picks for this week yet.

[notacon]

11-5 and 31-16-1 for the season!?!?! Wow. Kudos to mom!!

[Woodman]

Why'd you put a check mark next to the Steelers game since you got it wrong? (as did I... mom got it right though - I may need to start reading the notes she's taking while I'm at work!)

I put the L there as well :D consistency.

Hope I'm wrong on the Chiefs.

Hope I'm wrong on the Bucs.

[Cntrygal]

Mom had a rough week 4 with a 6-10 (37-26-1) and my 9-7 (33-30-1) allowed me to close the gap a bit.

[Cntrygal]

Here's mom's week 4 debacle - she's not happy that her ranking took such a hit. LOL She should never tell me that I'm competitive again. :snicker:

We both took the Bronco's to start off Week 5.

[Woodman]

She has been on a roll. :cheers:

I’m making a change to my picks...

I’m going with Detroit over NE.

Cincy vs Baltimore is the toughest pick that I have been going back and forth with. Ravens losing another game at home would be devastating. But, I can’t get over the fact that Cincy is just the better team. SO...I’m sticking with the Bengals.

I went with the Lions.... and picked the Ravens. My "upset pick" is the Jets over the Dolphins - more wishful thinking than anything. I can't remember who mom picked for those games without pulling up the pick'em website. If I get off work early enough before kickoff I'll get the pics posted.

I had the Jets over Miami....then I just could not go through with it. It will be no surprise if the Jets grab a much needed home win.

[Novacane]

Everyone off to an 0-1 start with the Giants win?

[Cntrygal]

Everyone off to an 0-1 start with the Giants win?

yep

[notacon]

Everyone off to an 0-1 start with the Giants win?

You mean 0-2 start with Denver ****ting the bed on Thursday. :rolleyes:

[Cntrygal]

You mean 0-2 start with Denver ****ting the bed on Thursday. :rolleyes:

Yes to that one too.

[notacon]

Yes to that one too.

This week is a perfect example why I never bet actual money on football games.

I change my pick from NE to Detroit, and they get DESTROYED by the Pats.

In my heart, I know that Jets are going to beat Miami. And I don’t follow my gut and lose that one too. It’s irrelevant that Bridgewater got hurt (that was easy to predict :rolleyes:) but that would not have mattered. The Jets were poised to roll....and they did.

With five more games to go, I’m sitting with a dismal 5-6 record. oy vey!

No matter, picking games is still fun. :D:

[Cntrygal]

I did much better in week 5 and am slowly cutting into mom's lead (which she's not happy about). I went 11-5 (44-35-1)

[Cntrygal]

Mom went 10-6-1 (47-32-1).

[notacon]

I did crappy. Another 8-8 week. :rolleyes:

Not terrible at 41-38 (I’m not counting the tie) for a fairly dismal .519 season record.

Week 6 looks like it has many sure winners....which means I’ll probably have the worst week of the year. :D:


I’ve made my picks, just want to mull them over so I have every chance to make it worse.

My “feel good” pick is Giants over Baltimore. What a great story Brian Daboll is. He’s an early favorite for coach of the year.

[Cntrygal]

I caught the last two minutes when I got up to get ready for work and wth? I'm so glad I didn't see this game. Both mom and I picked the Bears to win. It seems like other than week 1 (I'd have to go back and check) - I just can't get the TNF pick right.

[YardRat]

I had the Bears also. They had a chance to pull it off, Mooney just needed a clean catch.

[notacon]

I had the Bears also. They had a chance to pull it off, Mooney just needed a clean catch.

What a terrible game. The Bears had several chances to get a win. Fumbling a punt return on their own 6 yard line was inexcusable. Getting inside the Commanders 5 yard line TWICE and coming up with ZERO points was like getting a colonoscopy without a sedative.

Wentz is washed up. He is backup material, if that. Why they don’t play Heinicke (or even Howell) is inexplicable. Looks like Rivera is on the hot seat, or at least should be. The Washington franchise is a ****ing dumpster fire. They take the lead from their scumbag owner.

As the announcers and the post game analysis pounded on, Fields is being completely misused by a rookie HC who is apparently too pig headed to scheme an offense that fits Fields’ obvious elite talent.

This is prefect example of a coaching staff ****ing up a potential star QB. It’s really ugly to watch. If I was a Bears fan, I would be LIVID, and call for Eberflus’ head.

Bears and Commanders fans have this ****show to put up with, while us Bills fans (and the whole NFL world) are looking forward to one of the best games of the year this Sunday. I truly feel sorry for them.

[TigerJ]

I was in first place after last week on another message board's pickem league with Yahoo.com that has close to 100 participants.

My picks for last week.
Denver over Indianapolis
Green Bay over NY Giants
Buffalo over Pittsburgh
LA Chargers over Cleveland
Minnesota over Chicago
New England over Detroit
Seattle over New Orleans
NY Jets over Miami
Tampa Bay over Atlanta
Tennessee over Washington
Jacksonville over Houston
San Francisco over Carolina
Dallas over LA Rams
Philadelphia over Arizona
Baltimore over Cincinnati
Kansas City over Las Vegas

12 - 4

[TigerJ]

I started this week behind the 8 ball as I let making my picks slip until after the Thursday night game started. I'm staring out with only thirteen games to choose from instead of 14.

My week 6 picks:
San Francisco over Atlanta
Cleveland over New England
Green Bay over NY Jets
Indianapolis over Jacksonville
Miami over Minnesota
Cincinnati over New Orleans
Baltimore over NY Giants
Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh
LA Rams over Carolina
Seattle over Arizona
Buffalo over Kansas City
Philadelphia over Dallas
LA Chargers over Denver

I don't pretend to be any kind of expert. My presumption is that Vegas oddsmakers are the experts. For that reason, I am careful not to pick too many underdogs as outright winners. Nor do I pick prohibitive underdogs as outright winners. Sometimes the oddsmakers are wrong and a prohibitive underdog wins, but you'll come out behind if you pick them to win. I will pick 2 to 4 underdogs per week just to make it interesting. There wouldn't be much point in joining a pickem league and only picking favorites every week.

Still awaiting the Sunday night outcome, I have 5 right. Sometimes this is a week like this where underdogs are win all over the place. I got one of the winning dogs and missed 5 of them, not counting the Thursday night game in which I never even mad a pick. It looks like Philly is going to beat Dallas barring a major comeback for the 'boys. Then we'll see if the Chargers can hold off Denver. I'm still tied for first. I had sole possession before Thursday.

[Cntrygal]

Mom continues to kick my ass, 10-6 for week 6 with an overall record of 57-36-1.

[Cntrygal]

I finished week 6 with 7-7 (51-42-1).

(geesh... maybe by the end of the season I can take a good picture LOL)

[notacon]

Mom continues to kick my ass, 10-6 for week 6 with an overall record of 57-36-1.

Mom is kicking everyone’s ass. I had a decent week of 9-5. I’m 50-43 for the season. A pretty dismal .538. Mom is killing both of us for the season.

Last week I said that "Week 6 looks like it has many sure winners....which means I’ll probably have the worst week of the year.”


Yeah....the supposed sure things were plenty......NOT!!!!

Jets going into GB and embarrassing the Packers????

Pittsburgh coming off an ass beating at the hands of Buffalo and snake biting Tampa Bay???

Week seven has several of these too.

How do you pick Cleveland over Ravens, in Baltimore???
How do you pick Atlanta over the Bengals, in Cincy???
How do you pick Washington over Green Bay after their last debacle??
How do yu pick Houston over the Raiders, in Las Vegas????
How do yu pick Detroit over the Cowboys, in Dallas????


The answer is that you don’t. And it’s a sure thing that several of those will go to the underdog. The mystery is...which ones???? :rolleyes:

[Woodman]

My record is so bad I really don't know what the heck it is.

I predict this week will be my best :D

Not a real high bar so maybe I'll clear it.


Maybe I need a peek at mom's picks 1st. :biggrin:

[Woodman]

I'll start tonight by taking the road team .... Saints over Cardinals.

Nottie please get that chart up so I can save some space. :cheers:

Atlanta at Cincinnati
Detroit at Dallas
Indianapolis at Tennessee
Green Bay at Washington
Tampa Bay at Carolina
NY Giant at Jacksonville
Cleveland at Baltimore
NY Jets at Denver
Houston at Las Vegas
Seattle at LA Chargers
San Francisco at Kansas City

With Russell Wilson officially “out” (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34853534/sources-broncos-russell-wilson-brett-rypien-start) for this game with Brett Rypien making his first start since 2020 (when in week four the winless Broncos got their first win of the season against the winless Jets) I am changing my pick for that game....

The Denver offense has sucked even with Wilson. The chances it will get better with Rypien is doubtful. The Jets defense has been playing very well, and was going to be hard for Denver to counter.

Because of the awful play of Wilson .... i was hoping for the switch and it was the reason i took the Broncos.

Go Broncos Go!

4) Pittsburgh

5) Chicago

There are more but I'll stop with these 5. :D

Buffalo Bills rooting interests Week 7: early AFC playoff picture implications

According to the experts we should be rooting for these teams.

[Cntrygal]

This week will be interesting... I made my picks under duress from another multi-day migraine (stupid air quality). I just checked and I started off with my usual loss (Saints), while mom picked the Cardinals. She had me rattle off my picks so she could put a dot on her sheet... just what the hell do you think "oh my" means?

Hmmmmmmm.....did you bet some real money on this??? Isn’t that what “book it” means??? :D:

This week will be interesting... I made my picks under duress from another multi-day migraine (stupid air quality). I just checked and I started off with my usual loss (Saints), while mom picked the Cardinals. She had me rattle off my picks so she could put a dot on her sheet... just what the hell do you think "oh my" means?

:tap:
Hope you are feeling better.

Thanks, the migraine is gone. I just feel exhausted and "beat up". I'm nibbling on some food right now (first real food in days). I foresee a nap in my future.

I’m having my best week of the season. Sitting 10-3 before tonight's game.

And two of my misses were supposedly the “easy picks”....Tampa over Carolina and Washington over Green Bay. :rolleyes:

The Chargers will be in 1st place in the AFC West after today.

Book it.

Well that was a stupid statement.

[notacon]

Well that was a stupid statement.

No, it wasn’t.

Just happened to be wrong.

Most people had the Chargers beating Seattle, (I picked that too) and KC getting beat by the 49ers, at home, would have surprised no one.

This thread has existed since the start of the season with zero vitriol....until you came along.

Many posters come here and make good faith predictions and say so in public for fun and enjoyment. You haven’t had the balls to do that.

All we get from you is the ‘zoo caged monkey flinging his feces’ maliciousness that typifies the majority of your posts. If you have nothing of substance to contribute in this thread, with the usual hostility that is your M.O., just stay the **** away

[Woodman]

Rooting for the Bucs to beat the Ravens tonight.

[notacon]

Had my best week of the season at 10-4. Bumped up my overall percentage to (a still lowly) .561. Three “sure things” were not so sure last week. :rolleyes:

Tampa **** the bed. Green Bay is playing with their head’s up their asses. And (I LOVE IT) Belichik’s two QB’s and leaky defense got embarrassed on national TV!!!

Anyway....here are my picks for this week...

I was questioning my pick of Baltimore the whole first half. :rolleyes:

It was surprising that the Bucs just ran out of gas the 2nd half, and the Raven just bullied them all over the field.

The Bucs just wouldn't run the ball ....... can't win any games without at least the occasional threat of a run. Piss poor coaching .... Brady won't finish the year is my guess, injury or walking away :idunno:

[Woodman]

Do the Houston Texans have a chance this week?

Ryan Tannehill is officially out for the Tennessee Titans.

Finally got rid of the latest migraine only to have mom share her damn cold with me.

I did better last week, 8-6, while mom fell a teensy bit with a 7-7.

We both picked the Ravens over the Bucs - so we're starting the week strong-ish.

32-6

[notacon]

I had a decent week #8. 10-5, sitting at 70-52 for the season .574.

Like every week, there are going ot be some head scratching upsets. The trick is to guess which ones.

I was thinking Tennessee over KC, but not with Tannehill on the sidelines, and Henry is hurting. Las Vegas is falling apart so they should go into Jax and win. I doubt it and am picking Jax.

Tampa Bay is reeling, as is LA Rams. Who knows!?!?! Would anyone be surprised if Green Bay ****s the bed in Detroit???

I would LOVE to see Phlliy lose tonight, but that’s probably not in the cards.

[Woodman]

How about you nottie?

[notacon]

I cut into mom's lead with 10-3 (78-57) for week 9. Mom finished with 8-5 (82-53).

I had my best week of the year last week at 10-3 too!!! I’m at .593 for the year. Creeping up on .600. :D:

This week, I’m going with a couple of underdogs. Cleveland over Miami (I think Miami is ripe for a loss, and the Browns are capable of running all over their questionable defense), and Washington over Philly.

I have no reason to pick against Philly at home. Just seems like every week there are one, two or three picks that just defy logic. I’m taking a flyer with this pick.

Not very confident with Seattle over TB in Germany. Same with Dallas on the road at GB. Eventually, GB is going to win a game they are expected to get their asses beat.

Here are my picks for week 10. I might change the Rams pick if Stafford is ruled out....either way, I don’t trust either the Rams of Cards...they both suck.


I don’t care if Josh Allen plays against Minny or not....the Bills win this game.

I finally got a huge underdog correct when I picked Washington over Philly.

But, overall, too many teams let me down, including Buffalo, Dallas, Seattle, Las Vegas (man, how could they lose to Indy????) and LA Rams. All of which should have won their games.


The result was my worst week of the season....6-8. I am one game behind you for the year....86-63.

Next week’s picks are looking to be very difficult.

Tenn vs Green Bay
Chicago at Atlanta
Jets at NE
LA Rams at N.O.
Las Vegas at Denver
Dallas at Minny

Feast or famine is on the menu.

[Woodman]

Raiders owner Davis thinks McDaniels is doing a great job ..... that right there might just be their biggest problem. If you are a Raiders fan and I do know a few ... you are extremely pissed off!!

[notacon]

Week #11 has some tough picks. Tonights game is going to be very interesting.

Rodgers told us that all they had to do is win a game to get going, and they won a BIG one last week against Dallas.

I can’t pick against them, at home, against Tenn. Same with the Pats over Jets.

I had a really big underdog pick last week that came through....Washington over Phlliy.

Although not as big an underdog, I’m taking a flyer on LA Chargers over KC. Division games are always tougher and closer. This is a huge game for LA. They already lost to KC, and going down three full games and the tie breaker to KC could kill their season. They will be desperate with their backs against the wall.

Anyway....here are my week 11 picks....

Week 11 had a respectable (barely) 9-5. Still not close to .600 stalling at high .500’s, at .583 for the season.

Reached a bit picking LA Chargers over KC. But it was a very close game. I stupidly picked Green Bay. They are done.

This week has some very good games. Looking for Minny to come back after getting destroyed at the hands of Dallas, and do us a favor by beating NE.

I was about to pick Chicago over the Jets, but then Fields is questionable, but worse yet, they finally pulled Zack Wilson. That gives the Jets a huge boost. I’d love to see the Jets lose to in a row, but it’s not looking good.

Of course, Miami gets cakewalk game vs Houston. Hopefully they will get the big upset, but I’m not going to pick ‘em.

Same with KC at home vs LA Rams. :rolleyes: Biggest AFC game is Cincy at TN. Screw Tennessee. I like seeing them use more than Cincy.

[Cntrygal]

I just got to Detroit!

I did good week 11. I got 10 right... and mom said that she got 8 right. I'll verify it all over the weekend, or after I get home.

[notacon]

Had my best week of the season in week #12. Went 12-4. Now just a hair away from .600 sitting .598 for 2022.

Week #13 has several fantastic games that will have profound effects of playoffs and seeding.

After the Bills being crap out of NE....again....the biggest games of the week are KC at Cincy and Miami at San Fran.....just behind those two is NYJ at Minny.


Not only do I want (as any Bills fan) KC, Miami and NYJ to lose, I am picking all three.

As I posted (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261737-We-got-the-win-but?p=4982118&viewfull=1#post4982118) in another thread....

KC has lost every game in Cincy since 1984 (https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/03/chiefs-havent-won-in-cincinnati-since-1984/). Cincy has beat KC six of the last seven games vs the Chiefs, dating back to 2008 and including last year’s AFC Championship game (IN KC). Joe Burrow has a 2-0 record vs KC.

It is not a stretch to think Cincy will beat KC at home this Sunday.

Miami is going into a buzz saw in San Fran. There is little doubt that they can easily lose that game.

I was close to my first perfect week ever, but the Chargers let me down.

Went 13-1 (don’t count ties).

So did we.

[Woodman]

Nottie make it official.

I want the Raiders to be rolling.

[Woodman]

Still don't believe what I just saw!!

How do you lose that football game?

Rams 17-16 :shocked:

[notacon]

Had my best week of the season last week, going 13-1, finally raising my year long record to .622 with 120-73 record. Yippie!!!

I have a feeling that week #14 is not going ot be so kind. I forgot to post this yesterday and was still debating some of my picks. I started out badly because I did pick Las Vegas for last night. :rolleyes:

Man ‘o man, did they **** that game up. They deserved to lose. And, good for Baker Mayfield. What a story.

For the rest of the games, I have to ignore my gut and use commons sense, which means I’ll probably miss some upsets. Cleveland has owned Cincy, but with Cincy at home, after a big win vs KC, I don’t expect them to slip.

I’m picking mostly home teams this week, with only Miami (Chargers defense is for crap), KC (yeah, it’s a divisional game but predicting two losses in a row for KC is not very smart against a team that has consistently underperformed and disappointed all year), and NE (as much as I HATE to ever pick the Pats, Arizona is just like the Chargers, Las Vegas, Denver, Green Bay, Indy and LA Rams for unreliable screw ups).

My upset of the week (I do not believe that Detroit beating Minny can be considered an “upset”....the Lions have been playing extremely well) is NY Giants over Philly.

The Eagles need to be knocked down a notch. Certainly, they are a very good team, but they have been lucky to have a fairly easy road schedule this year....

Beat Detroit week #1 (by the skin of their teeth 38-35) before the Lions started playing well.
Beat Washington when the crappy Wentz was still starting
Beat Arizona - see above, ARI is a crappy team with a child at QB
Beat Houston - big whup!!
Beat Indy - after the team became a dumpster fire

Going into NY against what should be a pissed off Giants team is not going to be a cakewalk like the rest of Philly’s road games. Daboll will have them ready to play. Yes, Philly will probably win this game, but I would LOVE to see the Giants humble them a little bit.

It’s almost like football karma kicked in.

Seattle gets throttled and Dallas barely beat the woefully terrible Texans....AT HOME no less.


And KC goes up 27-0 only to let Denver back in the game and barely beat 'em by six. If Russel Wilson does not go out with a head injury, they could have been beaten by one of the worst teams in the NFL this year.

“Solid picks” is an albatross that the Football Gods see as a challenge to screw it up.

[notacon]

Just like I predicted, my week #13 13-1 record would be shot to **** in week #14. Went 7-6 last week, but I’m still holding my head above .600 with a season long 127-79, .617.

This week, my upset of the week is Jax over Dallas. Jax had a BIG win last week, on the road, and Dallas may be looking ahead to the huge week #16 game vs Philly.

Just like I predicted, my week #13 13-1 record would be shot to **** in week #14. Went 7-6 last week, but I’m still holding my head above .600 with a season long 127-79, .617.

This week, my upset of the week is Jax over Dallas. Jax had a BIG win last week, on the road, and Dallas may be looking ahead to the huge week #16 game vs Philly.

Yup I took the Vikings !!

[Cntrygal]

The pick'em site is having some kind of issue- it lets me make the picks, but then they only update one or two games and then nothing. And no response to the email I sent them. :cynic:

I'll have to get off my ass and try to get a picture of the screen when I make the pics, or at least actually post them before the games.

The last update I posted was the awesome week 13.

Wk 13: 12-2 (119-74)

Wk 14 was a disaster with 6-7 (probably my worst ever) which put me at 125-81

Mom had an even better Week 13.

Wk 13: 13-1* (122-71) *she refuses to pick the Browns to win as long as Watson is on the field.

She also did horrible on week 14 - she was NOT happy at all. lol

Wk 14: 6-7 (128-78)

For Week 15, we've both started strong... I've mentioned a few of our picks in the GDT's.

I took:
49ers
Buffalo
Ravens
Vikings
Saints
Commanders
Eagles
Lions (mom took Jets)
Panthers
Cowboys
Chiefs
Broncos
Chargers
Bengals
Raiders (mom took the Patriots)
Packers

:eek2: I didn't realize that we only had two games picked differently.

I’m having a sparkling week #15 as well. 12-3 going into tonight game. And my BIG upset pick actually came through....Jax over Dallas. (I was also cheering Jax on for that win...I HATE the Cowboys.)

I did not do as well in my “rooting for” but picked against list (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/260950-2022-Weekly-Picks?p=4986252&viewfull=1#post4986252)....although TWO did come through....

Seattle over SanFran - man, Seattle sucks.
Cleveland over Baltimore - SO HAPPY the Ravens lost even though I picked them to win.
Indy over Minny - I just knew in my bones that Indy would **** the bed.
NYG over Washington - GO GIANTS. GO DABOLL!!!!
Chicago over Philly - That was ugly.
Houston over KC - SOOOOOOOO Close. KC did not “win” that game, Houston LOST IT. KC is lucky as ****.
Tampa Bay over Cincy - I was pretty disgusted with myself for actually rooting for Tom Brady....but a Cincy loss would have been HUGE for the Bills. Alas, I still got a LOT of satisfaction seeing Tom Brady **** THE BED!!!!!
LA Rams over Green Bay - Rooting for the underdog Baker Mayfield. We’ll see.

[notacon]

With only three weeks left, it’s REALLY getting real now!!! Almost every game is critical to some team.

After a good week...then bad week...then good week roller coaster....I’m probably due for a bad week.

Biggest “upset” I’m picking is Houston over Tennessee. The Texans have pushed two really good teams (Dallas and KC) to the limit. They SHOULD have won the KC game, but, the Chiefs have a lucky horseshoe up their butts.

With Tannehill out and Houston due for some good fortune, I’ve got the Texans winning their second game of the year.

A mild “upset” is NY Giants over Minny. Minny has an even bigger hoosegow up their butts and really need to lose this game. Here’s hoping that Thibodeaux has another career day and makes Cousin’s life miserable.

Another kinda-sorta upset is Jax over NY Jets. Lawrence is much better than Wilson and....**** the Jets!!!

Mom will be pissed at me for rooting for these teams that I picked against....

Atlanta over Baltimore
Seattle over KC
New England over Cincy (yeah, it HURTS to actually root for the NE Cheaters)
Washington over SanFran
Green Bay over Miami
Arizona over Tampa Bay (**** Tom Brady)
Indy over LA Chargers

Edit #1: Mom is bailing on the Ravens

[Cntrygal]

Well, the Jags FINALLY won a game I picked them to win.

[Woodman]

Jags win to start us off and the Jets are down to a 5% chance to make the playoffs ..... how exactly i'm not really sure. :idunno:



1-0 :bravo:

[Cntrygal]

Mom is NOT happy that she bailed on her Ravens pick. lol

[notacon]

I’m disappointed with Detroit. And to a lesser extent, the Giants. Minny has got a golden horseshoe up their butt this year. Don’t think that will matter in the playoffs.

Although I would not mind a Buffalo vs Minnesota Super Bowl and that we kick their asses to avenge their lucky miracle win against us, and to win their first SB and relegate Minny to a five time loser with no wins.

Yeah, I didn't expect the Lions to lose that one.

That would be pretty epic!

[notacon]

Worse yet was New England ****ting the bed for a second week in a row.

Mixed feeling on that one though....sure want Cincy to lose to help the Bills....but seeing NE choke like that is pure joy!!

[notacon]

Had a fairly good week #16 going 11-5. Now at 151-87 for the season, a .688 win percentage.

Week 17 is a very strange week to pick. So many various playoff effecting games, and a quarter of the teams already eliminated from the playoffs and several more in a hopeless position.

Strange situation where both Titans and Jax loses (or wins) are irrelevant as the last game of the year between them will decide who wins the division, and that team is locked into the #4 seed.


My upset of the week is Carolina going into Tampa Bay and helping to ensure that TB12 misses the playoffs. If Carolina beats TB and then New Orleans....Brady is OUT!!!! Here’s hoping. Time to go away Tom (fat chance :rolleyes:)
