Last week I wheeled on sat and picked six.
This week I wheeled on sat (lets see what happens)

I'm just hoping you and jwh86 get your picks in, less than 30 minutes to go!

When am I gonna learn. Seattle is gonna burn me no matter how well they have played recently. Another team ( like Denver ) to stay away from.

And one heckuva game between the Steelers and Jags. Gritty and pounding.


add EDIT:: MIAMI WINS!!


Jelopy, you now have the only reasonable chance at 6-0 this week. That is, if I didn't just jinx you.

I'm not looking to good this week

I had a feeling seattle would have a let down. Should have gone with the feelin.

I just skimmed through the picks thread, everyone has a loss.....except me. Seattle, Cinci and Baltimore losses knocked everyone out. I'm still looking for 6-0 if Indy, Dallas and Minnesota win. jwh86 didn't get his picks in and Beaterbop posted this morning, but somehow failed to enter his picks. Congrats to Miami, finally getting a win.

[bernd]

I wish I only had one loss

I didn't study that guide you posted last week. Maybe if had, I would have stayed away from the Seahawks, and gone with one of my other choices, Jax and TB. But I thought those games would have been too close to call. Why TB v. Atlanta close you ask? TB's faultered at times this year, and I'm just not comfy picking them.

If Jelopy is the only 6 this week, no prob for me anyway. I think I picked up another 10 on FlyJester. THAT'S what it's all about, baby. No cheerleader pics, no 6-0 bubba.

Just checked! Where's my picks. Whatttttt?
Dam
My welcome box says last visit at 7:55am right around my usual time. Ok, had my coffee checked the line in the paper, used the print out from two minute warning.com, marked em with a highlighter, typed in selections, reviewed, heard a noise upstairs (thought marys up early), hit the post button, then zipped upstairs for some morning sugar.
So its either mary or the mouse's fault. No way I could be that foolish.
Oh, maybe I shoulda ...
well I already lost one and really needed six just to stay in contention.
lookes like my chances are over. fun while it lasted.

This week, there were 7 games at close to 80% or better. Tampa bay was a sure bet at 88%. I chose to stay away from San Diego, thinking that Detriot may wake from their slumber at some point. I just about chose New Orleans instead of Dallas because I had a feeling N.O. would beat Arizona because of their injury problems. Cinci's defense is crap, I stay away from them when they are away. Use this guide, it's not always right, but it helps.
