Pick Em

[Purple Nurple]

Who else got totally blasted today? Soooo many upsets. Does our yahoo league still drop the worst week? Lol.

[Fricknmaniac]

The Cardinals and Lions salvaged the week somewhat for me. Didn't really matter in my league though since the person I'm tied for the lead with picked all the same games as me.

I got pummeled today...pummeled like I was a, wait this is a PG board. I picked poorly this week!

[PWNEDbyDEANO]

I really regret my last minute changes from Dolphins to Bills and Eagles to Jets. Then I also forgot to pick for the Thursday night game!

Pretty bad week on the whole.

[JO_75]

Green Bay Losing and Indy winning screwed everything up lol. I'm fortunate to have 10 picks right with 2 games left lol. So how many people got Panthers-Texans wrong?

[ravensdfan]

Now look here people. I completely missed a week (had a lot going on in RL) and missed picking Thursday. I am working hard here for last place so no coming in and trying to take it away now! lol

[harfordravenfan]

Like others here, I had a horrid week (lost my 1St place standing) and not making up any ground this week either.

[Fricknmaniac]

I was in a three way tie this week and I dropped two games from one of the other people.

So I went all out and changed my pick from the Saints to Falcons to try and pick up a game. Either it's going to work great or I'll need to make up three games next week now.

[RavensAllTheWay]

I called Bills over Broncos, Vikings over Redskins and Raiders ove Chiefs, but I was wrong about the Bucs over Panthers, Cardinals over Bengals, Chargers over Lions and Seahawks over 49ers. I made a lot of bold predictions this week, got some and missed some. I also have Falcons over Saints.

Well if it works out like I did mine pick from Texans to Colts and Colts won it may work out for you. I changed to Colts for the same reason you did, to try to pick up a game. Then everything went all crazy yesterday and so out of the 14 games, I am split down the middle with 7 right and 7 wrong with only the Packers and Saints left to get me to 9 wins for the week.

Last week of Pick'em. Is it just me or is this the hardest week to pick? You never know what teams are gonna care more about meaningless games, and there are a lot of mediocre teams playing each other. Just a glance at some games I think could be coinflips:

Detroit @ GB: Detroit to me has the edge b/c they have something to play for and GB will likely rest starters.

NYJ @ Miami: NY obviously has a lot on the line, but Miami has been playing much better as of late, does anyone actually trust Sanchez? Edge Miami.

Chicago @ Minnesota: Two bad teams with nothing to play for. I kinda like Joe Webb more than Josh McCown. Coin Flip.

Tenn @ Houston: Houston has nothing to play for but pride and some Momentum. Tenn needs to win, but they arent that good. Another Coin Flip. .

KC @ Denver: Denver has everything on the line, but I dont trust Tebow. Orton and the Chiefs want revenge and have been playing lights our for Romeo Crennel. Slight edge to KC, they been playing better.

Oakland @ SD: Same thing, Oakland has everything to play for but they suck. SD you never know what you are getting and V-Jax may be hurt again. Edge Oakland but I have 0 faith in that team.

Seattle @ Ari: Two mediocre teams with nothing but pride on the line. Coin Flip.

Dallas @ NYG: Two decent teams in their first playoff game. Eli or Romo? Two terrible defenses. NY doesnt even play well at home. Another Coin Flip.

This week seems to always be the tough week. I'm thinking the Texans could rest starters due to the fact they are locked into the 3 Seed regardless they beat or lose to the Titans but then again there is that chance resting against the Titans and giving them a win would mean Tennessee getting the 6th Seed and the Texans seeing them in the Wild Card Round. I wanna pick Oakland but SD is such a hot and cold team, they could show up or come out flat like they did against the Lions. I like the Jets against the Dolphins but I don't trust Sanchez, and I think the Dolphins knock the Jets out of the playoffs.

Overall this is going to be a tough week and there may be some upsets too, hopefully Buffalo pulls out the upset against NE.

Yeah, I noticed that. Well done. I would have had 14 but my dumb [profanity deleted] picked Oakland by mistake. I went to check my picks mid game and almost busted a vein in my forehead, lol.

I lost track of how many times I thought I had picked correctly, just to find out I was wrong. Guess I should write down what the hell I had picked. lol

Time for Playoff Pickem!

Just wanted to remind everyone that Pick Em is still open for the playoffs and that we can pick games through the entire playoffs. Just put my Wild Card Picks in. Don't forget!

Shhh. I'm hoping some forget so that I can sneak back into the top 10.

What a bad year for me picking games. Usually I'm pretty decent. But it has been a very unpredictable year.

Yeah man.. Any upsets I call turn out to be close games that just don't go my way in the end.. And the games I have down as sure picks come back to hit me once everything's said and done.
Looks like I'm still hung over from last year's [i]triumph[/i] [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/sad.png[/img]

EDIT: Why is the forum telling me to shut up? lol
"B ite me" comes out as "Be quiet" Really odd..

[JO_75]

So I'm assuming everyone went 3-1 in the Wild Card Round Picks or did someone be bold and pick Denver?

Ditto. Tried to make a move and it backfired.

[PuRock]

I got two right as well. I thought I picked Houston, but apparently I picked the Bengals.

But there were two people who went 4-4. Gabefergy and Dan the Man.

Good Luck catching me

I actually got real lucky picking the Broncos last second on a gut feeling, didnt even change the tiebreaker score I orginally put in.

Yeah I was livid when I saw that you picked the Broncos [img]http://content.boards.baltimoreravens.com//public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.png[/img]. Nice pick!

[ravens__]

And I picked DET...

Two people went 4-0 including gabefergy who is in the lead. Good calls, guys!

[YYZ66]

Missed both AFC, got the NFC correct. Silly me, thinking the Bengals could actually win a playoff game. [url="http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/index.php?&app=forums&module=extras&section=legends#"][color="#42205d"][/color][/url]

[Gordo52]

Im trying to do this next season

[JO_75]

This week is going to be tough. I'm not sure who to pick between the Saints/49ers and the Packers/Giants game. The AFC I'm pretty solid as I think Ravens and Patriots win. Will anyone be daring enough to pick the Broncos this week??
