    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.

            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 ) 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.

                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)

                    I did crappy. Another 8-8 week.

                    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.


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

                      I haven't even looked at the games yet LOL. I have to leave for an appointment - so I'll print them out for us tonight. Mom probably already knows who she's going to take though.

                        For better or worse (probably worse) these are my week 6 picks....


                        Week 6
                        Washington Commanders at Chicago Bears
                        San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons
                        New England Patriots at Cleveland Browns
                        New York Jets at Green Bay Packers
                        Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts
                        Minnesota Vikings at Miami Dolphins
                        Cincinnati Bengals at New Orleans Saints
                        Baltimore Ravens at New York Giants
                        Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Pittsburgh Steelers
                        Carolina Panthers at Los Angeles Rams
                        Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks
                        Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs
                        Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles
                        Denver Broncos at Los Angeles Chargers

                        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.

                          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.

                            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.

                                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
                                I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                                I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
