A question needing an answer...

The Z · Post by **The Z** » Thu Sep 21, 2006 10:33 pm

Panthers over Bucs: Bucs are more messed up than Panthers
Bears over Vikings: I think the Bears are better all around right now
Bengals over Steelers: Palmer's gonna be back with a mission
Packers over Lions: I think Favre is going to have a much better season than last year
Colts over Jags: I'm going to go with homefield advantage
Jets over Bills: Jets are just better IMO
Dolphins over Titans: Ronnie Brown should have a field day
Redskins over Texans: Houston's a good team for any to rebound on
Ravens over Browns: Baltimore actually has some semblance of an offense
Giants over Seahawks: Seattle hasn't been very sharp
Eagles over 49ers: Should be a shootout here, the loss of Kearse will hurt Philly
Cardinals over Rams: Homefield
Patriots over Broncos: Revenge for the playoff lost last year

Falcons over Saints: New Orleans will finally play a good team

Falcons over Cardinals - Atlanta will be able to establish the run
Cowboys over Titans - Can't wait till Tennesse plays Oakland
Colts over Jets - I just don't think Jets have what it takes
Texans over Dolphins - Right now Carr > Culpepper
Vikings over Bills - Bills are far from Bears
Panthers over Saints - Smith is back and homefield advantage
Chargers over Ravens - I think San Diego's more complete
49ers over Chiefs - Without Green, KC has little chance of winning any game
Rams over Lions - Lions made Brett Favre look young, now they have Bulger/Holt/Bruce
Browns over Raiders - Anyone over Raiders right now
Jaguars over Redskins - Jacksonville's D is much better than Houston's
Bengals over Patriots - I think New England will be in tough to win the division
Bears over Seahawks - Homefield, and Mo Morris is no "Great One"

Eagles over Packers - Philly will dominate Green Bay's secondary

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Fri Sep 29, 2006 4:14 pm

Falcons over Cards- Atlanta isn't that good, but Warner will give them the ball at least twice this week
Cowboys over Titans- They could almost sleep through this one
Colts over jets- jets still have work to do
Texans over Dolphins- I will not pick a Culpepper lead team that doesn;t have Randy Moss on it again
Vikings over Bills- Bills still need to grow
Saints over Panthers-Panthers play way too lax in with a lead, and just don;t look right
Ravens over Chargers- Top two defenses. mcNair has more shot of being sucessful than Rivers does against that kinda defense at this point.
Chiefs over Niners- If KC will ever run the ball, it's this week
Rams over Lions- Lions are a mess
Raiders over Browns- No Brooks at QB will double the Raiders ability...which barely lets them edge the browns
Skins over Jags- Homer alert- plus, has anyone really sighted the offense of either team this year? 6-3 game
bears over Seahawks- bears are not that good. at least not as good as the Seahawks. Their Offense still hasn;t shown anything against a real team.
bengals over Pats- Belichek has finally started doing to the POats what he did to the Browns years ago. You have to keep at least some talent around.
Eaggles over Packers- Packers...ah the packers....

Bears over Bills: Unfortunately Buffalo run into a deadly team in the Bears
Panthers over Browns: Carolina's starting to look better, Browns barely beat lowly Raiders

Colts over Titans: I think this is a lock for the week
Redskins over Giants: Washington's back baby!

49ers over Raiders: Homefield
Eagles over Cowboys: McNabb will be out to prove something, Philly wants blood

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 9:15 am

Panthers over Browns- Browns ain't
Lions over Vikings- Lions have to win a couple, and this one just calls to me
Pats over Dolphins- Dolphins suck
Saints over Bucs- Bucs have no QB
Colts over Titans- Laughing to hard to type a reason

Cheifs over Cards- James is trapped in a nightmare
Jags over Jets- Jags bounce back this week
Niners over Raiders- er...yeah
Cowboys over Eagles- Cowboys just plain better in all phases
Steelers over Chargers- Chargers won't run on Pitt, No one runs on Pitt.
Ravens over Broncos- ravens still my SB pick in the AFC

Why did I pick Arizona? But that said, they DID lead for the first three quarters..... Still, FIVE guys had perfect weeks in my office pool. Talk about a kick in the nuts....

I was under the impression that perfection was hard to achieve

.

Bills over Lions - I have no idea when Detroit will get win #1, maybe this week maybe not
Panthers over Ravens - McNair hasn't looked too sharp as of late, Carolina has
Bengals over Buccaneers - Gradowski still won't be enough
Cowboys over Texans - Dallas still hasn't sunk to Houston's level
Falcons over Giants - Homefield
Eagles over Saints - McNabb for MVP?
Rams over Seahawks - Homefield
Redskins over Titans - Redskins aren't THAT bad
Steelers over Chiefs - Pittsburgh should be able to get a much needed W at home
Jets over Dolphins - Even with an improved O, Jets are still better than Miami
Chargers over 49ers - Hmmm, I'd like to call this one a lock
Broncos over Raiders - I wouldn't be surprised if Oakland went 0-16

Bears over Cardinals - IMO, right now Chicago is the best team in the league

Standings after Week 6
Gwally: 59-28 -----> 68%
The Z: 58-28 ------> 67%
BS: 48-25 -------> 66%
Weasel: 9-5 ------> 64% (Inactive)

Chris Shultz, CFL/NFL Player, and The Sports Network Analyst: 38-49 -----> 44%

Week 7 Matchups
Carolina at Cincinnati
Detroit at N.Y. Jets
Green Bay at Miami
Jacksonville at Houston (DIV)
New England at Buffalo (DIV)
Philadelphia at Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh at Atlanta
San Diego at Kansas City (DIV)
Denver at Cleveland
Arizona at Oakland
Minnesota at Seattle
Washington at Indianapolis

N.Y. Giants at Dallas (DIV)

Byes: Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco, St. Louis, Tennessee

Quick Hits
- Indy and Chicago are the only remaining undefeated teams
- Seattle will be without Shaun Alexander (Madden cover jinx?) and Bobby Engram for the second consecutive game
- Tampa Bay reunited John Gruden with CB Philip Buchanon and traded Anthony McFarland to the Colts for a second round draft pick - the only trade on deadline day
- New Washington CB Troy Vincent will try to help out a questionable secondary in his first game of the season
- Larry Fitzgerald will in all likelihood miss his second consecutive game Sunday, but the Cards are taking on the lowly Raiders - a great opportunity for Matt Leinhart to get his first career NFL win.
- Aaron Brooks has been a very bad investment for Al Davis. So has Robert Gallery. And Randy Moss. And Warren Sapp.

Weird Stats
-Michael Vick and Steve McNair have passer ratings of 66 and 64 respectively. ATL is 3-3 and BAL is 4-2. David Carr has a rating of 94.9 but the Texans are 1-4.
- Oakland is the only team without a win yet and have averaged a measly 10 points per game on offence (32nd). They have also only hit paydirt five times this season, but three of those TD's were in one game
- San Francisco has given up the most points (194, or about 32 a game)
- Chicago had six turnovers and three points of offence and still won

Random Thoughts
- Maybe the Titans should've started with Vince Young right away
- Maybe the Cards should've started Matt Leinhart right away
- Even if the Raiders started Andrew Walters right away, they'd still be 0-5

Bengals over Panthers - Homefield

Eagles over Buccaneers - Tampa will go back to losing now
Steelers over Falcons - Pittsburgh's D will stifle Atlanta
Chargers over Chiefs - San Diego's the cream of that division
Broncos over Browns - Even when Denver doesn't score much, the D has won them games
Cardinals over Raiders - Oakland sucks
Seahawks over Vikings - Minny just can't really score
Colts over Redskins - Indy won't lose yet

Cowboys over Giants - Homefield

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Sun Oct 22, 2006 9:16 am

Panthers over Bengals- Peppers VS a rookie tackle= squashed Palmer
Jets over Lions- Toss up
Packers over Dolphins- Don't like Harrington
Jags over Texans- How 'bout that Mario Williams?
Pats over Bills- Pats always seem to do just enough
Eagles over Bucs- McNabb is unreal this year
Steelers over Falcons- Vick has no recievers- and they won't run this week\
Chargers over Chiefs- Rivers has shocked me this season
Broncos over Browns- Unless Plummer gives it away
Cards over Raiders- If leinart could do that to Chicago, God help Oakland
Vikings over Seahawks- No alexander, and a good secondary in Minn
Redskins over Colts- Guaranteed IF Portis carries the ball between 25-30 times. Colts are horrible against the run....but Saunders probably will give the carries to the WRs
Cowboys over Giants- Tikki retiring could be a distraction.
