Anyone else having trouble picking a whole bunch of games this week?

Baltimore at Detroit
Miami at Buffalo
New England at Atlanta
Philadelphia at Dallas
Cincinnati at Jacksonville
Pittsburgh at San Diego

All very very tough choices IMO.

This week? I haven't been able to pick games all year. For the above games though I'd say:

Baltimore at Detroit - Baltimore
Miami at Buffalo - Tough one. I'll take the fish.,
New England at Atlanta - New England can't go 2-3 can they? Pats.
Philadelphia at Dallas - Eagles
Cincinnati at Jacksonville - Jaguars
Pittsburgh at San Diego - Pitt

So if you're smart you'll pick opposite of all those.

Baltimore at Detroit - Detroit
Miami at Buffalo - Buffalo
New England at Atlanta - Atlanta
Philadelphia at Dallas - Philadelphia
Cincinnati at Jacksonville - Cincinnati
Pittsburgh at San Diego - Pittsburgh

I thought most of the games were hard to pick this week. Outside of Indianapolis at San Francisco theres a lot of tough calls. This could be a week where 70 out of 105 points wins the cphl pool.

I thought the following games were pretty tough too.

Tennesee at Houston was a tough one normally I'd go Tennessee but it's in Houston

Cleveland home to Chicago is also hard to get a read on. I'm thinking Browns at home but that Bear defence won't let Trent Dilfer do much.

Seattle at St. Louis, The Rams usually play good at home, and own the Seahawks. But this years Rams aren't really that good.

Right now things are tight at the top of the CP pool. A good week this week could really help someone pull away.

Baltimore at Detroit
Miami at Buffalo
New England at Atlanta
Philadelphia at Dallas
Cincinnati at Jacksonville
Pittsburgh at San Diego

San Diego has been lighting teams on fire lately, they are going to keep on rolling IMO, although thats probably going to be one of the closest games.

However, I like the road teams to do stuff in this:

Detroit is looking horrible (Ravens D will win that one all by themselves).

Miami will roll over the Now Holcomb lead Bills.

NE rebounds and Vick definately isn't 100%.

Philly beats up Dallas, TO dances on the star. Cinci keeps on going.

Indy/SF is too close to call

??????

Why because Indy is a 27.5 point favorite? I mean seriously if theres going to be a blowout in the NFL this year, this is the game.

Is that the number?

That has to be the biggest spread in recent NFL history.

Things interesting so far. Detroit pounding on Baltimore. Glad I picked the Pack to get their first win of the season.

Seattle has to win this game in St. Louis. And Shaun ALexander could score 5 TD's if he wants to since he's about all I have on my fantasy team.

No, I was reaching there. Trying to figure out why 87 would say that game is too tough to call.

The Indy/SF spread is 15.

GB knockin the bejeezuz out of what has to be an exhausted NO team.

GB lost Davenport this game...so lets do the math

From last year they are down 4 out of 5 O Linemen. There top 2 RB's. Their top WR. 5 starters on D.

12 out of the 22 guys that strted for them last season are injured or elsewhere.

This may be the only game they win all year.

Also...Baltimore has thrown 2 INT in the red zone, or they would be winning. NE looked like they were rebounding til late in the 2nd quarter. Atl's punter kicked a 58 yd field goal.

Buff putting it on the Dolphins. I wondered when Miami would show their true selves.

SEA/STL looks like whoever has the ball last will win.

Eddie Bronze · 10-09-2005, 02:32 PM

Well, it's looking like another disaster for my pick sheet for the 5th week in a row. I give up.

cheevers · 10-09-2005, 02:35 PM

Anyone watching the Ravens/Lions.
Ravens have 17 penalties for over 110 yards and theres still a quater left. On top of that they have had 2 players kicked out for bumping officials. Its been unreal.

habernac · 10-09-2005, 03:58 PM

only missed one game for the morning. Unfortunately, its also the game I bet a ton of confidence points on (thanks alot, Tampa).

Displaced Flames fan · 10-09-2005, 05:40 PM

Tatum Bell 6 carries 110 yards and 2 TD's for the Broncos midway through the 3rd quarter against that great Redskin defense.

They have to win this, next week they host the Pats and then go to New Jersey to face the Giants.

Same for me. I had 12 on them. You? :P

What the hell is going on in this league anyway?

I liked Dallas at the beginning of the year. Then they had a couple of disappointing performances and I though, with the Eagles, Redskins and Giants playing so well....they might just be in the basement of that division.

Now, today, they kick the shinguard out of the Eagles and look great doing it.

IF Denver holds on, there will be 2 3-1 teams in that division with the Cowboys a game back, but with a key division win in the bag.

What a confusing league!

No doubt. It certainly doesn't get any easier as the season goes on either.

we picked all the games the same today, a variance in confidence points, but the same winners. How weird is that? I think I had 11 on them. And 12 on the fricken Eagles. WTF?!?

LOL...I thought you might be Bruschi's Hair when I couldn't find Habernac. We had the Eagles and Tampa with 11 & 12, flip flopped.

I think we have a 1 point differential in the Cincy/Pittsburgh total as well!

Great minds think alike my speedy friend!
