ok, let's chalk this one up to a full moon and move on....

WTF?

Is it just me, or is this year getting screwy? With a couple of expections, good (Indy) and bad (I'm so sorry any of you Vikings fans), most of the teams are just too close to call week to week.

I know guys...I know! Things are so unpredictable.

I've got to say...I felt soooooooooooo good about last weeks picks. I don't know how to trust my feelings anymore!

*shake, shake, skake*

OK...OK...We'll do what LAW said and shake it off, pull ourselves up by the boot straps, chalk it up to the moon phase...then we'll DROP BACK FIVE YARDS...AND PUNT! Lmfao!

Total wins for me this week - 6/14

I think MCP went 9/14 this week, and if so I am down 2 games for the season.

I'm just gonna tell him the story of the Tortoise and False Security. Oh...wait...I mean the Tortoise and the Hare.

OK guys...get your thinking caps on and I'll be back with this weeks match-ups either tonight or tomorrow evening!

LET'S KICK ASS FOR REAL THIS WEEK!

all i can say is free agency... players are moving around frequently and most don't stay long enough to form a "team" - thus they all don't consistently gel, but rather from week to week you end up with a differing star player who was "on" that game.

Indy @ New England = Pats by 3

Here are the match-ups and my picks so far...

Carolina@Tampa Bay - Carolina
Houston@Jacksonville - Jacksonville
Cincinnatti@Baltimore - Cincinnatti
Atlanta@Miami - Atlanta
Detroit@Minnesota - Detroit
Chicago@New Orleans - New Orleans
San Diego@NY Jets - San Diego
Tennessee@Cleveland - Tennessee
Oakland@Kansas City - Kansas City
Seattle@Arizona - Seattle
NY Giants@San Francisco - NY Giants
Pittsburg@Green Bay - Pittsburg
Philadelphia@Washington - Philadelphia

MONDAY NIGHT

These are my initial instincts...and you know what I am feeling about my instincts at the moment! What say you?

UPDATE!

MCP went 10/14 this past week. I am down by 3 games!!! EEEEEKKKKKKK!

C'mon peeps...what do ya thinking for this week's games? I LOVE your feedback!

I know I picked Indianapolis...but Winston says it'll be close and New England will conquer. I noticed that MCP picked New England today too. For some reason he kept filling out his pool while I was talking to the girl who works next to him, and was saying his picks out loud. He's all full of himself, and I didn't show it, but it's getting under my skin like maggots in a pile of 4 day old discarded chicken necks (<---OMGGGGG...did that sound Pa. Dutch or redneck?...roflmfao!) I noticed he picked mostly "away" teams too...but I didn't memorize what his picks were...exactly.

Please don't lose interest now! No matter what happens...this thread has been fun all the way!

There's only two games that I'd have you look at (Besides the PATS)
The Bears are coming into their own lately and the Saints are making way to many mistakes and Philly going into DC after the embaressment the Gaints handed the "Skins" I really don't think Joe Gibbs is going to let that happen.

I hear ya Winston! I can't agree more about Philly! They surprised me last week cause I'm usually damned no matter what I do with them. And the Skins being home and all...I am iffy with that game for sure!

I'm keeping an open mind to all of your observations/suggestions. It's not that I go "eeny, meeny, miney, moe"...so I love all the feedback I get here in addition to my own sources on some sites I frequent. I'll total up the dashes I have beside each team and I'll be back tomorrow morning with my final picks!

Thanks for your thoughts hun...and Happy Birthday!

I agree with Winston on those games. I'm nervous about them, but I think the Bears and Skins will win.
I'm also much more nervous about the Green Bay/Pitt game now that I know Roethlisberger is going to be out. But I think they can still win that.
And there's something about the Cincinnati/Baltimore game that I don't like. I chose Baltimore, even though Cincinnati should be the better team. I can't explain why, and I'm not going to recommend it. When I'm wrong y'all can laugh at me.

There's a long time to go in the season. You'll get him

Lix, i'm not sold on the Philly/Washington game either. I think Philly is the Murphey's Law of football teams. You bet against them, they win. You bet with them, they lose.

Stick with Pitt over Green Bay. Even though R-burger is out, Brett Farve is no better than Tommy maddox (Pitt's backup) this season. With that being equal it will come down to their running game and their defense, and Pitt's is better. They will be able to force more interceptions and turnovers (Farve had 5 last game, remember) and hopefully get some points off of those.

just my opinions.

Thanks once again...for all the great feedback guys!

Here's my final picks...

Carolina
Jacksonville
Cincinnatti (I was on the fence with this one too...so I did flip a coin...lmfao!)
Atlanta
Detroit
Chicago (you both swayed me...it was so close you could barely fit a wedge between the two)
San Diego
Tennessee
Kansas City
Seattle
NY Giants
Pittsburg
Washington (again, so close to call till I heard more about T.O. and McNabb's injuries...not to mention a couple of other players)

MONDAY NIGHT

New England (I feel good about this change...my computer sources play the game with no feeling and I trust real people's reasoning. Now let's see if the player's agree!)

Final Combined Total of Monday Night's Game...49

OK...here we go again! *crosses all philanges* (<---can't hurt...lol!)

Good Luck everyone!

P.S. I agree LAW! Philly is my Achilles Heel!
