Weekly NFL Picks Thread
Since it seems like there are quite a lot of handegg fans around, I'd like to start something here I've done on other forums: competitively pick winners of NFL games. Ain't nothin' in it but the thrill. I'll keep track of everybody's progress in this post so we can see who is the pre-eminent pigskin prognosticator. Should've started last week, but I didn't think of it. If we have enough people participate, we can even have a little elimination tournament when the playoffs start.

WEEK 2
St. Louis Rams @ Atlanta Falcons
Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens
Carolina Panthers @ Buffalo Bills
Washington Redskins @ Green Bay Packers
Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans
Dallas Cowboys @ Kansas City Chiefs
Minnesota Vikings @ Chicago Bears
San Diego Chargers @ Philadelphia Eagles
Miami Dolphins @ Indianapolis Colts
Detroit Lions @ Arizona Cardinals
New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Oakland Raiders
Denver Broncos @ New York Giants
San Francisco 49ers @ Seattle Seahawks
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals



My picks:
Falcons, Ravens, Bills, Packers, Texans, Cowboys, Bears, Eagles, Colts, Lions, Saints, Raiders, Broncos, Seahawks, Steelers

Oooh...good idea.

Here are mine.

Atlanta
Baltimore
Buffalo
Green Bay
Houston
Dallas
Chicago
San Diego
Indianapolis
Detroit Smile
New Orleans
Oakland
Denver
San Francisco
I so want to say Cincinnati hereTongue, but I'll go with Pittsburgh

ETA: I didn't pay attention to pre-season, so I'm not up to date with the status on most of the teams.

Washington @ Green Bay is a MOMMY! Being a Skins fan.

Falcons
Ravens
Bills
Packers, yea I know just being realistic
Cowchips, not that I want them to win
Da Bears
Chargers/ not that they will win, but I want revenge for the Redskins loss last week
Colts have alot of Luck
Lions, because Detroit needs some love
Pitt will win, but my heart is always with the underdog

Bucks, because the Saints have milked Katrina for far too long
Jags because my Skins lost to the Raiders once in the big dance
Broncos, because a Giants loss helps the Redskins
Seahawks because they are past due
Texans

We keep in' our own scores, or what?

P.S. As predicted, the niners were humiliated by Seattle. Big Grin

ETA by my slightly intoxicated count I'm 12/16.

Meh. Tongue
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
