Ravens MB Pick 'Em League - All Are Welcomed!

[Purple Nurple]

Good thing is only one person picked Oakland.

Even though I had an average week, looks like I will retain the #1 spot barring a Jets upset (and either Nurps or Gabe picking the Jets).

I'm starting to regret not taking this as a sign.

Whenever I open my mouth before the outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That's why I am not a trash-talker.

... What just happened?...

Funny, only one person picked Oakland to win, and one person picked the Jets to win.  They were both the only ones right.  

[T3hRaven]

I thought this was going to be a good week after I started off so well, but I never would have bet on Oakland and the Jets.  I figure Houston would finally bounce back, so that one is legitimately my bad, but the other two are like WTF mate.

I learned my lesson on trash talk last year I trash talked with Texans fans we all know how that turned out never again

I got Oakland. Thanks.

For some reason I can see the raiders winning this week. Not picking them though!

Anyone willing to go with the ultimate upset? Jacksonville over Denver anyone lol.

Week 5 Recap:

 

10 games (9 last week) separating the top from the active bottom.  No one is running away with this thing yet.  The active field is still within 10 games.  

 

Traitors:  darklight

Going Against the Grain: darklight (Miami), Arnie uk (Denver), Miami Hurricane (Oakland)   

Dropouts (missed multiple weeks):  GRENDELWULF21, SeaHawk

 

Cream of the Crop:

1. PuRock - Hangs onto the top spot but can't move forward with an average week.
2. Nurps - Only one week not in double digits, climbs his way to second with a strong wk 5.
3. Gabe's picks - After going three straight weeks in double digits, goes 8 and 8.  
4. BmoreRav - Comes back after a disappointing last week, lead the pack in wk 5.  Including Indy over Seattle.
5. FC Horus 13 - Hangs onto that 5th spot, two weeks in a row. 

Bottom of the Barrel:

1. The Black Dog - Second straight week he leads the barrel.  Not a bad wk 5, just need to nail one week to climb out.
2. Ravens 3 - The unsaved week 4 picks are still hurting.  An average wk 5, keeps him in the barrel.
3. Miami Hurricane - Mr. Risky nails this week's going against the grain.  Picking Oakland.  Still not enough.
4. arnie uk - You did get the NYJ pick right.  But 6 correct in wk 5 drags you into the barrel.  
5. JO_75 - Every week had nine picks except one (10)

I mean imagine the money someone could win by picking Jacksonville and they win.

Sooner or later the giants are goin to win a game

You picking a bunch of upsets this week?

You picking a bunch of upsets this week?

Pitt is only one I have right now.. I'm in the habit of going through it on Saturday and then again on Sunday morning..

Prolly make a few changes if there are a few late inactives

Scares me I only have one "upset"

This seems like a bad week to pick upsets.

Only game I plan on changing is Browns vs Lions. If Calvin plays, Lions win. If Calvin doesn't play then the Browns win 4 in a row for the first time since....... Jim Brown was still a player?

[redravenfan]

going steelers for the upset mainly because i do not want the ravens to be there first win next week . same with detriot

Sorry guys, typo.  I was having a rough day at work yesterday and my recap looked like crap.  I forgot to delete off #6 (who was just a trickle down from last week - probably #5).  And I forget #5 in the bottom of the barrel. 

 

I'll get my [profanity deleted] together.  Its fixed.  

 

BTW,  Crush what are you still doing at #6?

Sorry guys, typo. Had a rough day at work yesterday and because of it my recap was a mess. The sixth person was supposed to be deleted off, he was probably just a trickle down from last week @ #5. Then I missed #5 in the bottom of the barrel.

 

I fixed my recap, and I'll get my act together moving forward.

 

With last night's game, Crush you have moved into 5th though. Gabe didn't get his pick in and dropped out of the top 5 since nearly everyone picked the Bears.  

[Gordo52]

I'm picking Steelers, Buccs and Redskins this week. I guess those are all considered upsets.

I'm still upset about week 4 -_-

[The Oakland Cathedral]

GB is heavily favored in the picks...

Ugh... forgot to make my pick for the Thursday Night game. Luckily I just picked through week nine just to be safe so I know my picks are set.

[T3hRaven]

The toughest call this week is TB-Philly.  I don't like either QB, but the Eagles have a terrible defense.  Maybe the Bucs can control the clock with Doug Martin.

 

I'm picking the Steelers coming off the bye though.

Even that will be tough without the run blocking glue of Nicks.
