Guest Vitamin X Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Crap, I completely forgot about the "if you pick this team you can't use them again" rule. I think I still feel pretty confident with who I've got, though.
CanadianChris Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Posted September 6, 2007 We still have room for 10 more if anyone else wants to sign up.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 Im taking the Steelers over the Browns.
CanadianChris Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Posted September 9, 2007 This week's pick breakdown: Seattle - 12 Pittsburgh - 7 Denver - 5 New England - 3 Detroit - 2 Jacksonville - 2 Minnesota - 2 Arizona - 1 Dallas - 1 Houston - 1 Indianapolis - 1 Oakland - 1 San Francisco - 1 St. Louis - 1 At least two people will be eliminated this week.
CanadianChris Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Posted September 9, 2007 Whoever TCNS is picked the Lions.
the pinjockey Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Maybe I will just go with the pick against the Chiefs strategy all season since Houston worked out.
Der Kommissar Posted September 9, 2007 Report Posted September 9, 2007 Who else picked Detroit? That would be me. I figured it's not like I would have many other chances to pick the Lions in this thing, as it's not like this thing will go to Week 17 which is the one week the Lions are an absolute lock to win every year, thus fucking up their draft position. I hate the Lions.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Im advancing to week 2! Last time I got knocked out in week 1... yay!
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Razazteca is surely a smart guy, picking Arizona to beat SF on the road. Only game in which two people picked two different outcomes.
CanadianChris Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Posted September 10, 2007 Razazteca is surely a smart guy, picking Arizona to beat SF on the road. Only game in which two people picked two different outcomes. Besides Detroit/Oakland.
alfdogg Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Well, I snuck out of Week 1. 15-14. Ha.
Guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 The 49ers are going to abuse Arizona. And this is coming from one of the biggest Matt Leinart apologists in the history of the earth.
Cuban Linx Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 For once the 'obvious' winner i picked didn't end up getting upset in week 1, thank you Pittsburgh.
In Credible Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Thanks Kevin Williams, you scored more than the entire falcon team.
Cheech Tremendous Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Well, I screwed that one up.
HarleyQuinn Posted September 10, 2007 Report Posted September 10, 2007 Denver saved my hide this week... thanks Elam.
Guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 It was tough going, but I made it through without wasting one of the best picks on Opening Week. Thanks Eric Green.
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 Word has it the popular pick next week in Cincinatti. Maybe the referees will give them another game. I was on the Seattle wagon this week.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 The 49ers are going to abuse Arizona. And this is coming from one of the biggest Matt Leinart apologists in the history of the earth. If I may speak on this, Ken Whisenhunt was probably one of the worst candidates to become Matt Leinart's head coach. Sure he was the coordinator for a Super Bowl squad. Sure he knows how to manage a young quarterback. Arizona however, totally not the right personnel for Whisenhunt's style. They were probably better off hiring someone like Mike Martz or something like that.
Guest Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 I noticed. Whisenhunt loves to use the power backs and 10-15 yard passing to speedy, slot receivers. Lots of short outs and slants. Arizona is a team that should be spread out, but Whisenhunt loves to keep formations tight and use the tight end and 3rd down back to minimize blitzing. Unfortunately, their offensive line is junk. Teams can blitz straight down the middle and not have to pay for it. So many of their passing sets are quick timing routes for smaller receivers. Arizona does not have those players, they're a big team that needs to get down the field.
LaParkaMarka Posted September 11, 2007 Report Posted September 11, 2007 If anything, Whisenhunt should have stayed in Steeltown and Tomlin takes the job in Arizona. Tomlin's cover 2 philosophy doesn't really work the the Lebeau 3-4 defense, but could work pretty well with the personnel they have in Arizona (sick safety in Adrian Wilson, penetrating d-line with Dockett).
BX Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 Week 2 games: Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans Houston Texans @ Carolina Panthers San Francisco 49ers @ St. Louis Rams Green Bay Packers @ New York Giants Atlanta Falcons @ Jacksonville Jaguars New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions Dallas Cowboys @ Miami Dolphins Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals New York Jets @ Baltimore Ravens Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos Kansas City Chiefs @ Chicago Bears San Diego Chargers @ New England Patriots Washington Redskins @ Philadelphia Eagles
BX Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 I'm thinking Jacksonville is the best bet this week. They're not a particularly powerful team, but they'll beat the Falcons.
MFer Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 For now, I'm still gonna roll with the "whoever plays the Browns" strategy.
Vern Gagne Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 I went with Chicago over Kansas City.
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 Chicago and Green Bay both look like excellent picks this week. With half the Giants injured and starting an inexperienced, 300 pound quarterback, and a terrible defense, Green Bay should be able to win their game comfortably, even with the offensive struggles. And Kansas City might just be one of the worst teams in the league this year, I do believe. Chicago should annihilate them for their home opener.
KingPK Posted September 13, 2007 Report Posted September 13, 2007 I'm going with the Saints this week. Last week they just fell apart in the 2nd half (maybe Indy borrowed Matt Estrella for the game) and Tampa is still just terrible.
CanadianChris Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Posted September 13, 2007 This week should be interesting. There are four double-digit home favourites this week (PIT, BAL, CHI, DEN), and I have a feeling there's going to be at least one big upset.
