oh thanks man. Is the Dallas Philadelphia game going to be the national game on Fox this weekend? I know it's at 4 ET so I'll be checking to see, but man that will suck if we get like the Lions or some other team. Ohio sucks for sports if you don't like Ohio teams...lol...spose it is every state if you don't like the hometown teams, but here...man we sometimes don't get a second game just because like the Bengals or Browns played at 1 o'clock. Bullshit.
CALLING ALL FOOTBALL FANS: I need help with picks!

- Start date
they always show the freaking 9'ers where I live. I hate the 9ers
lol..same here man. That's gotta suck especially considering they suck anyway.
Giants hate them...Redskins hate them...49ers hate them...
The only teams I respect are the Eagles and Steelers. I've always had an admiration of the Steelers. The Eagles only have recently earned my respect. Before then I really didn't care about them. What have they won? They've had their moments and have had some great players come through...but I never paid a whole lot of attention to them hate-wise.
I think the game is on here come to think of it now.

Yeah, they're my favorite teams and they do both seem to exhibit that tendency.
Okay, I suBathmateitted my winners:
Detroit holds off and beats Baltimore. I really only choose this because Detroit beat Green Bay and played Tampa Bay tough and I don't see much positive from Baltimore.
Chicago loses at Cleveland.
Miami beats Buffalo, because Buffalo has no passing game, Miami has a decent defense and they will run the ball against Buffalo, wearing them down.
New England wins at Atlanta. The Falcons are good, but the best in the league will not loose twice in a row.
New Orleans over Green Bay. This could go either way, but I really like the way New Orleans offense seems to gel at times.
Seattle falls to St. Louis in the dome.
Tampa Bay crushes the Jets.
Houston will somehow get their first win by beating the rebuilding Tennessee Titans. No real particularly logic here, but it looked like one of the most likely upsets.
Indy would have to try to lose to fall in San Francisco.
Carolina beats the Cardinals.
Dallas wins at home with an upset over Philly. Although Philly has owned them in recent years, they played them tough last year and Dallas is improved. Missing David Akers leg could be the deciding factor.
Denver is on a role and will scalp the Skins in no uncertain terms with a big win.
Jacksonville will pull it together to get a home win and an upset against the red hot Bengals.
Pittsburgh just edges out San Diego. Bill Cowher can't have a decent team and lose on Monday night, can he? This shootout will be high scoring and could go either way, but Pittsburgh is a little more of a complete team.

i'm still calling a +3 spread for dallas over eagles and I wont give up lol
lol...
god I hope you are right because Dallas hasn't won but once in the last like 10 or 11 meetings. And if Dat Nguyen doesn't play this weekend man it's going to be even less likely the Cowboys pull it off.

Waaaa? Did you miss their performances last year? Just because they don't win it all, doesn't mean they choke.
Penguin you should have called the Bengals dog. rofl
yeah I think the Bengals will win too, but it's a road game against the best team they've faced so far...so who knows what'll happen if they can't move the ball the way they have most of the first 4 games.
[P]okey[B]ear said:
They'll squeak out a win, at best. I have to remember when making these picks to think with my head, not my heart, as Philly is my second favorite team and I'll hate Dallas until the day that pompus prick Jerry Jones sells the team to a decent man.
On paper, Dallas should lose, but something about this game smells of upset.

I'm not basing that on one performance. Dude, Bill Cowher is 1 for 5 in AFC Championship games...all at home, which is about as lousy as one could possibly imagine. The Steelers have refined "choking" into an artform. Their my team, but I've got to be honest about it.
I can't knock Philly for failing to win the Super Bowl last year. McNabb was very sick, while playing that game. New England did not give their best possible performance and under different circumstances, Philly could have won that Super Bowl. However, they don't get off the hook. Losing in the Conference Championship game three straight years IS choking. I'll concede in the first game, it would have been difficult to beat the Rams in St. Louis. With the homefield advantage, they should have beat Carolina in the championship game. I understand you can't win them all, but not getting it done when it's on the line IS choking. There is no excuse for Tampa Bay beating them the prior year. The Eagles were favored and had been playing better ball. The Bucs had never won a game below 40 degrees and then they come into one of the most hostile places to play in 20-some degree temperatures and Philly lets their lead slip away...CHOKE!
My picks are set, but I kinda wish I had taken San Diego over Pittsburgh. I heard on the radio today that the Chargers are number one in the league in yardage on third down, while Pittsburgh is last in yardage given up on third down. That is one of those hidden starts that one only hears about here and there, from the full-time analysts, but a very significant stat noless.
I know the topic is NFL, but did you see that return by that Miami dude that was called back? That was some moves.. granted the defense sucked, but it was fun to watch. 
Didn't get to see any college today, except for something awesome---I saw the final quarter of Ohio State getting beat in Penn State.
lol same here Penguinsfan. That was truly awesome. It's going to be weird though what with Michigan and Ohio State pretty much playing for strictly pride and nothing on the line when they meet next month. It's been while for that.
damn I called it give it up 30-3 dallas in the 3rd mwhahaha i'm awesome
TODAY for me...It's good to be wrong! lol Good call. If the Cowboys D can look this good the rest of the way...getting pressure from the start and the offense scoring first...
if they can hold it like they did today I give them the division and the top team in the NFC which is terrible because the NFC is struggling this year
