(Bold) is my pick, a crap shoot IMO let's roll the dice.........

Now we're talking...

That's the way to man up guys.

Nothing like that last minute pick sheet coming in. Just over an hour to kick off and another season of NFL football.

Oh you guys are gonna be SO SURPRISED at the Indy defense this year.

I have a confession to make.

In the back of my mind I suspected that you were taking a few too many sips of the home team kool-aid.

Wow.

You spoke truth.
(But are you SURE you don't want Jason David back?)

I have to say though, I was surprised at what a non-entity Gonzalez was. They were lining up Dallas Clark in the slot instead! What's going on!?! Gonzalez is my ROY pick!

No I don't think we want David back. How many times did he get burned? 3? Yeah, great play on the fumble and return, but I like who we have. I feel better about this year's D than I have about any D the Colts have had since they've been in Indy. Granted, that's faint praise, but just having a "good" defense is enough, given the offensive firepower. And they might be better than just "good". Looked pretty good against last year's number one offense, I think.

Gonzalez will get there. He's a rook and they'll bring him along slowly, because they can. Like with Addai last year.

I think this year's team is better than the 2005 team, which was better than last year's championship team. Just depends on how things roll, but the Colts are certainly in the mix to repeat. No question in my mind.

Oh, boy...

It's going to be one of those weeks...

4-6 so far...

:bnghd:

How about them Packers!



Did Green Bay win this week, or Philly just lose really bad?

Either way...

Philly made some bad mistakes. Green Bay's offense really needs to get it going. If it wasn't for that defense, man, damn, that may have been ugly.

I missed this week. I'm all in the rest of the season with the picks.

Here were my picks I made yesterday. I run my own pool here in my house.

9/6 8:30 ET At Indianapolis -5.5 New Orleans
9/9 1:00 ET At Houston -3 Kansas City
9/9 1:00 ET Denver -3.5 At Buffalo
9/9 1:00 ET Pittsburgh -4.5 At Cleveland
9/9 1:00 ET At Jacksonville -6.5 Tennessee
9/9 1:00 ET At St. Louis -1 Carolina
9/9 1:00 ET Philadelphia -3 At Green Bay
9/9 1:00 ET At Minnesota -3 Atlanta
9/9 1:00 ET At Washington -3 Miami

It doesn't work that way...

:shk:

You can't post your picks on Monday morning... You're 0-14.

We'll give you a shot at the two Monday night games.

You'd be a hoot in Vegas.

I wasn't saying I was a part of week one. I was just posting my picks just for the hell of it.

Week 1 results...

Apologies if there are any mistakes (I did this "unlubricated" ).

JacKatMtn 13-3



secret titan 11-5



Essedarius 9-7



Mirthful Me 8-8



intrepid 5-11



Way to go Jack!

One thing I did notice was a little variance in the spread used (remember, the line changes day to day depending on which way the money in Vegas is going, and if there are any injury news). To be fair, we should use the same line (Wednesday morning) so that everyone is approaching the games the same.

Week 2 is just around the corner.

On a much sadder note; my hope and prayers go out to Kevin Everett and his family... A speedy recovery, with the best possible outcome.

Definitely

video of the hit

It's awful to see. He makes the hit, then just falls, like he's lifeless.

Although the chances are slim, I hope he can at least walk again at some point.

13-3 versus the spread. That's just sick.

Get thee to a bookie, Jack!!

This one scares me. I'll have to wait and see if Eli plays or if they're jamming the Pillsbury Throwboy in there. I've seen reports Manning will be out a month with a partially separated shoulder, and reports that it's bruised, but he might be ready to go.

In the meantime, Browns have sent Charlie Frye to Seattle. Meaning Brady Quinn moves up to #2 behind Derek Anderson (who was beaten out by Frye in preseason for the starting job).

Might as well go ahead and do this now, or I'll never get around to it.

Unless Manning can play defense, I don't see him saving the G-Men here...healthy or no.

After week 1, I'm beginning to believe that the Giants may be one of the bottom 5 teams in the entire league.

reply to post by Essedarius


Hard to conclude too much after a week. I'm taking the Giants just because it's a home game for them and the Packers don't scare me much. Strahan's late arrival may have been a factor in the Giants' D performance. The Pack doesn't have any deep threat. Lorenzen could be the Next Big Thing (no pun intended) and if nothing else, they could suit him up at D Tackle.
