I think that the Jets need the win too badly to let it slip to a Dolphins team which is pretty inept on both sides of the ball right now. Should they lose, the Jets would be a long, long way back in their division. Then again, they haven't looked impressive themselves so you never know. Any given Sunday I guess.

I think the only thing better than the Jets missing the playoffs, Dolphins finishing the season at 2-14 with their only wins against the Jets.

Flashback!!! I was at the game when we gave them their only win of the season a ways back. Come to think if it, I think Cam Cameron was their HC. He sure does know how to beat our offense.

If the 49ers win I wouldn't say that is an upset.
This game still has me wondering who will win; should be a great game.
I'm going with the Lions because they are at home, but I wouldn't be shocked if the 49ers win.
If the 49ers do win, then Jim is going to get a lot of credit for being a head coach.
The 49ers are going to play real hard to beat the Lions and give them their first loss.
Do they have an answer for Johnson? We'll have to see.
For the 49ers to win they are going to have to have an amazing game on defense, I don't trust Smith to win the game for them, on the road, against another tough D.
However the Lions are coming off a short week, but they played at home last week, and are at home this week.
I don't see that being a problem.

The Vikings and Bears is another game to watch to see if the Vikings are for real, and you could say the same about the Bears.

I think the Jets have to win this game, if not they are pretty much done in a sense.
Who is the Dolphins QB? He's not going to help them win, they will pressure him enough to get the job done.

But, who knows...


P.S. Now the Giants/Bills game is giving me fits...
I guess this week isn't turning out so easy.

I don't like this week. Too many could be, might be or perhaps they just haven't played a good team yet games. Make or break week as I picked quite a few upsets. Just think the Jets are on a downward spiral right now. NO had trouble with the Panthers. I don't think the Bengals are as good as it seems. Atlanta IMO just does not have it on D to stop the Panthers. Bills have yet to face an actual D (unless you count the Bengals, a game the Bills lost) which the Giants do have. Whenever I go back and change them I kick myself in the butt so ...it is what it is I guess lol

[Purple Nurple]

Wow. You're either gonna skyrocket in the standings or crash and burn. Bunch of upsets.

I know it's early, but I'm starting to already think my last minute change of heart switch to the Skins was a mistake.

I made my picks early in the week and didn't look at them again but I'm definitely regretting the redskin pick right now lol

[Purple Nurple]

I liked the eagles cause it really is a must win, but I changed my pick last night after hearing how bad their OL was banged up.

[JO_75]

I too am regretting picking the Redskins, especially since Grossman has thrown 4 interceptions, yet it's still a 20 to 6 ball game so the Redskins can still have a shot if they can get into the end zone and Grossman stops throwing interceptions lol.

[Purple Nurple]

Beck is in now, lol.

[RavensAllTheWay]

The crowd at Fedex was actually chanting "we want Beck" after the third pick.

[ravensalways]

ouch another tough week for me, looks like someone else will be taking #1

[JO_75]

I know I picked the 49ers, yet Yahoo has it saying Detroit and I lost the game which I called it being a upset... I know I never changed that game.

[RavensAllTheWay]

So I initially had the Bucs winning today. But then, seeing how Blount and others were hurt, I thought they had just too many injuries for them to keep up with the Saints and changed my damn pick [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/dry.png[/img]

[Purple Nurple]

6/11. Sigh

Feel your pain. Made the same mistake with the eagles.

[ravensdfan]

7/11.

My reasoning held up for all but one of my upsets but sadly, the Panthers and Colts just couldn't bring it home. Stayed within one score until a few minutes left in the game though.

Now, need the Vikings to show up.Which as of right now they aren't lol

I know, I thought for sure Jared Allen and the Vikings defense would be able to get to Cutler and pressure him all game while AP runs wild over the Bears defense lol but it's been Matt Forte running wild on the Vikings defense. That was the main reason I chose the Vikings, Jared Allen > Entire Bears Offensive Line

The Vikings just look like they have nothing. No O line. No punter. No ST. It's really bad. They keep blaming McNabb and it's true he's not been stellar, but I think they need to look farther and wider.
