Br.com You Pick 'em S3 Week Nine

[AwakenTheDemon]

I apologize for the missed week, guys. My place of business is currently understaffed and I'm working six days a week. Needless to say, I've been strapped on time. I'll update this thread tomorrow or friday with our updated standings and this week's schedule. Until then, feel free to still post your picks or debate this week. I'll get this week up and running as soon as possible.

Again, sorry for the interruption and thanks for the patience.

[ravensdfan]

All good! I do believe you said work was nuts when you first started the league. I've been picking crappy lately anyway lol No worries!

[Purple Nurple]

jk

Keep up the good work.

No worries JO, I'm actually glad to see someone on here pick the Steelers. I would not feel comfortable with every Ravens fan picking us.

I think most fans on here would be worried about losing since Cam is so inconsistent in his play calling. I'm hoping Cam allows Joe to run the no huddle and the shot gun and just go out and do what we did against Arizona in the second half.

Chargers over Packers? Now that would be a big upset. Mark me down right now.... if the Green Bay Packers beat the Chargers they will finish 16-0, no questions about it.

So you think the Packers will go 16-0? Sweep the Lions, beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead (they should), beat SD in SD [i]and[/i] beat the Giants at the Meadowlands? [i]That's[/i] bold.

I dont really think the Chargers will beat the Pack, but it could happen. At Detroit will be a harder game IMO. Division rival on Thanksgiving day. That game actually matters for the first time that I can really remember. Detroit will come to play. Their offense might just be good enough to keep up with GB while their Defense can pressure Rodgers. Green Bay may be undefeated, but their best win was barely squeaking by the 4-3 Saints at home. They are far from perfect.

Well odds are Bradford isn't starting and though impressed with their victory over the Saints, I still don't think the Rams are all that.

I think everyone underestimates the Browns' defense and overestimates the Texans' offense. I see a defensive battle there and I just think the Browns come out on top.

Denver/Oakland. I don't think Palmer is in football shape and I don't think he's had enough time to know that offense. Timing, etc. I'm no Tebow fan but between two teams in need of a real QB I give Denver the edge.

I think the Titans have enough to defeat the Bengals. Not on the Bengal bandwagon.

Rivers is going to have something to prove.

Chicago D has what it takes to shut down Vick's scrambling and without it, the Eagles will not win.

Hey, I'm 18th. Nothing to lose here lol

[Purple Nurple]

Changed my Miami pick at the last minute and now it's looking like a mistake. I never learn to trust my gut! Ugh.

[JO_75]

Well this was a interesting week and one of my best weeks in the last couple weeks. I'm 9-3 with 2 games left and can be 11-3 if Steelers & Eagles win. Though I'll gladly take 10-4 if it means a Ravens win.

[Purple Nurple]

8 right so far

[ravens__]

7 here.. ughh. I hate always being in the middle of the standings each week. Once again, the game I changed minutes before kick-off (Rams ahead of the Cards) proved to be a wrong decision.

[harfordravenfan]

Definitely the toughest week for picks so far. Was hoping the bengals would yet again start sucking but they didn't.

A little discouraging seeing almost 1/2 our group pick the steelers to win... Really?

Looks like I'll be in a 4 way tie for second with purplepride having a one game lead on us (pending the Monday night game of coarse)

[1/28/01]

This upcoming week will separate the men from the boys.....lots of "either way" games!
