I am not trying to pick on Tennessee every week, but their winning streak has to end sometime. Chicago's Defense may be just the thing. I would like it though if they keep winning. It's kind of exciting.

Is anyone a bit confused.

The fixtures above say Texans v Bengals, but the Texans are playing the Ravens.

 

Hmmm, true. In that case, the Ravens to beat the Texans easily.

Booooo to fitz , confusing us with the wrong fixtures.

 

i would have said the Ravens over Texans too. But obviously i know the current score.

 

Well, since we all went for the texans over the bengals, there has been no advantage. I will just make sure I check over the fixtures for next week

 

You've dropped the ball here, Yank.

 

Not my week. Maybe Alyssa Milano can help?

EDIT:
I still got Obama right, so maybe it is my week.

 

Here are the scores before the Monday night game. If one of you guys could correct the scores after the Monday night game that would be great, I am probably going to be away from a computer until Friday.

Fitz 90 from 144 (63%)
Evasive 87 from 130 (67%)
Y&P 78 from 144 (54%)
The-Vic 9 from 14 (64%)

 

Everyone went for Cards on Monday night, so thats a +1 to the scores above. Could have been so much different if the 49ers could have run the ball over with 2 seconds left.

Sky's games this weekend are nothing short of immense.

Thursday - Jets @ Pats
Sunday 6pm - Bears @ Packers
Sunday 9.15pm Chargers @ Steelers
Sunday 1.30am Cowboys @ Skins

I think I have made some very safe and sane picks for a change. Let's see how it works for me. I picked Tennessee, so they will probably lose.

Question:
why aren't we picking the Thursday games? Just inconvenient?
I would have been very interested to see everyone's picks for the Jets/Pats game.

 

I would have gone anti-Pats as always. I have long hated them. But that last second TD excited me. Top stuff.

 

We didn't pick thursday because I didn't get back from holiday in time to post predictions in time for the thursday game! No-one else had so I made an executive decision to ignore them.

I would have gone for the Pats over the Jets originally, but either way it certainly ended up a good game.

 

This Thursday's game seems like a no brainer.


PS: I am watching The Wizard of Oz now.

 

Who wants an interesting fact?

The great institution known as the American Football Huddle began in the 19th century with a deaf school team. They realised their sign language play-calling was being watched by their opponents and intercepted, so they huddled up to do it.


End fact-mode.

 

Which school?
Gallaudet?

 

Fact-mode does not account for elaboration.

 

Good to see my Eagles delivering the most hated thing in America.

Tie Game!

 

I just saw that on the TV at the gym. I'm not even sure how in the rules that can happen..?

Cincinnatti, too. WTF, Philly?

 

So before the monday night games the scores are:

Evasive 10
Y&P 8
Fitz 11

and the table:

Fitz 102 from 158 (65%)
Evasive 98 from 144 (68%)
Y&P 87 from 158 (55%)
The-Vic 10 from 14 (71%)

 

I don't know how I manage to be so bad at this. Especially when I waste a very large part of my life watching the *******s. I'm just going to go all home teams next week and see where that takes me.

 

Now we have had the monday night game the scores are still:

Evasive 10
Y&P 8
Fitz 11

and the table:

Fitz 102 from 159 (64%)
Evasive 98 from 145 (68%)
Y&P 87 from 159 (55%)
The-Vic 10 from 14 (71%)[/QUOTE]

Happy Turkey Day Fitz.

This match is embarrassing.

Two things:

a) Why do Detroit always play on Thanksgiving Thursday?
b) Are Detroit wearing practice jerseys?

 

Thanks Y&P.

Detroit is terrible.
I don't know why they always play on Thanksgiving. They used to play the Redskins or Cowboys when they were good, but I suspect the Titans were scheduled to give them a break this year...who knew the Titans would be 10-1 and PISSED OFF for losing last week?

EDIT: Dallas always plays on Thanksgiving, too.
