CALLING ALL FOOTBALL FANS: I need help with picks!

Ah man did anybody watch the Bengals? :barf: We fought an up hill battle the entire game. They exploited our bad run defense all to hell, but we managed to stay in it until the end. It's unfortunate to end on that fumble and I think there were some bad no calls and spotting. :blush:

Nevertheless, you gotta believe they are for real now though.

How bought those Packers? lol

Brady's team winning on a field goal. That never happens...
 
lol...about the Patriots.

Yeah, I'll say the Bengals still end up around 8-8. Tennessee might not be that good, but McNair looks like he's steadily coming back every week. There is a good chance they lose the next two games and be looking at a 3 game slide.
 
Super Bowl? Who? The Cincinnati papers and sports casters? No way the Bengals go the Super Bowl. They were in it, but didn't win it. The Steelers are going to be their biggest test. After that game we'll see exactly where they are going. You have to look at the competition of the schedule too.

Hey,

My office is doing this thing where people put $5 into a pot and you choose the picks for this weeks NFL matchups. No point spread lines or anything like that---just straight-up winners. The tie-breaker is to choose the total number of points on the Monday night game. Anyway, I played last week and only faired so-so, compared to the field of coworkers. 22 people played, some the one guy won $110.

Now, I can't say that if I win I'm going to share it with you guys all across the world of cyberspace giving $5 here and $5 there, but I know some of you guys really love this stuff and if you could help offer me advice in choosing my picks, that'd be awesome. Please try to be unbiased. Here are this weeks match-ups:

BALTIMORE @ DETROIT

CHICAGO @ CLEVELAND

MIAMI @ BUFFALO

NEW ENGLAND @ ATLANTA

NEW ORLEANS @ GREEN BAY

SEATTLE @ ST. LOUIS

TAMPA BAY @ NY JETS

TENNESSEE @ HOUSTON

INDIANAPOLIS @ SAN FRANCISCO

CAROLINA @ ARIZONA

PHILADELPHIA @ DALLAS

WASHINGTON @ DENVER

CINCINNATI @ JACKSONVILLE

PITTSBURGH @ SAN DIEGO

Thank you for any words of wisdom you might offer. Hey, if you got the time, please give me your reasoning for your picks, particularly potential upsets.


Much Appreciated,

penguinsfan

When you mentioned Football, I thought you meant proper football as played in England and other parts of Europe. Not that silly game you blokes play in the states. I cannot understand why your football players dress up in fucking Armor. Some of the players look like brick shit houses.

If you want to watch a rough game try Rugby mate. In Rugby the players play rough in scrums and kick the shit out of each other, but with out the Fucking Armor. Of course if you wanted to watch a real gentleman's game that is not only interesting and very exiting, then you should watch Cricket mate. Of course real Football as played in the UK would have a line up like this:

Wolves Vs Liverpool.
Wolves VS Manchester United.
Wolves VS Totemhospers
Wolves VS Birmingham City
Wolves VS Durham city
Wolves VS Leeds united.

Of course the Wolves would beat the fucking lot.

ESPN... National television...
 
Man I want to see some tape. lol I don't believe anyone would be crazy enough to seriously be considering the Bengals as Super Bowl contenders. Playoffs for sure, but I'd say if it was anyone it'd be like Trey Wingo who at any point in time can switch from sarcasm to legitimately making a comment. The Steelers are still the class of that division.

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.

Unless Columbus is a changed city, there are still dumbasses going over every scenario where Ohio State could still win a National Championship.
 
yeah probably, but fuck em. I hate Ohio State. It gets annoying as shit here having to hear Buckeyes this and that all YEAR. But it's nice living near Ohio State campus because man...well you can take a couple of guesses.

Sorry bro, but I can't relate. I never knew anyone that played soccer until my college years. Granted, that is because I grew up in a rural area, but I'm being serious. I have nothing against the game at all. When I get a glimpse of your Premier League where there is actually real talent compared to what one finds here in the U.S. and it seems fun to watch. Despite a litte English ancestry, I guess my ancestors were just puritanical or hated King George enough to sail that Atlantic and thereby destine me to watching the guys dress up in armor.
 
Big Ben was carted off what is up penguinsfan? I love the guy and got to see him play Toledo once. That guy was just off the chains in everyone's eyes here in Ohio when he was in school. I hope he's cool and ready to go next week.
 
Well, I didn't win the office pool. Picked 9 out of 14 games, which is relatively poor, IMO. Buffalo screwed me. I would have been more inclined to go with them, had I known about Holcomb, but I can't say for sure. Miami didn't get into the game until late. Tampa Bay let everyone down, as about 5 out of 6 participants had Tampa Bay beating the Jets. Green Bay played tough Monday night and I thought they couldn't bring it hard in back to back games..........whoops, my bad. St. Louis and Seattle are poor teams and that could have gone either way, just didn't go the right way. Houston played Cincy tough and thought the momentum could beat a rebuilding Tennessee, but it never happened.

The winner of the office pool called 11 of 14 games, winning a two-way tie with the points in the Monday night game. Several people finished ahead of me with 10 of 14 winners. Oh well. Had Columbus Day off, but I'll pick up my sheet and get started with my picks for next weekend.

Yeah, it looked bad. May have a serious impact on the Steelers season. I'm sure I'll know much more tomorrow. I heard on local news that he walked out of the dressing room on crutches, which I suppose is a step up from an ambulance or a cart.

What are you getting at? Chicks?
 
Yeah. What the fuck did you think else it would be?

Man...all right on with the next set of games.

I would have picked New England if I knew Vick wasn't playing. I picked the f'n Bucs like a dumbass without even knowing Cadillac wasn't playing. (although I don't when that was announced)

1. I'm going to start a separate thread for the new picks, because this thread has gotten a high number of posts and the comments will be mixed in between the two.

2. You can find hot chicks in most any college town, whereas there isn't any fan base as annoying and obnoxious as that of Ohio State. Two years ago I had season tickets to Pitt, because I do like Pitt, being a local team, and I wanted to see my much beloved Fighting Irish play. Pitt has some real hotties and they're not as painfully arrogant about their team. I happened to see many hotties make the trip up here for the game when Pitt hosted Virginia Tech and let me tell you...VT has some real hotties. Must be something in the Virginia water.

3. Cadillac or no Cadillac. I don't care if they had a Geo Metro running the ball---there is no excuse for the Bucs losing to the Jets. None!
 
lol...I'll agree with you on all those above points about Ohio State fans and the Bucs losing to the Jets. I will say most of the fans are arrogant and obnoxious, but the women are just cute about it more times than not. It's like their daddy and brother grew up liking them and so they did too, but they just are kind of rah rah cheerleader fans. The girls do get upset when you say something negative about the Univeristy particularly the football team.
