You keep spelling Christian Pointer's name wrong.

 

You mean Chrintian Pointer's name?

I am more uncertain about this week than any prior week. I keep going back and forth between two picks, and I don't know which one I'm leaning towards. Neither fit my formula, but none of my available picks do this week. This might be my strike.

[Inqui]

So... who else has the Saints?

Surprisingly, most of us. I was really nervous about that pick, too.

 

And another one bites the dust picking with their heart. I feel your pain, Gordo.

Yeah, just saw that there were a lot of hearts in mouths today.

 

I think every team I've picked has won, but made it crazy difficult for themselves. The Patriots over the Raiders was the easiest I've had it.

Totally uninteresting week for me, picked Packers

[Gordo52]

Didn't want to play the "go for safe pick" week by week

Oh well at least I went out with my ravens. Also shame on Andrew for picking colts in the pick em, shame.

The pool pic(or lack thereof) is what did it for me this week but others have picked against the Ravens in there in previous weeks. I did it as more of a consolation prize anyways since if the Ravens won, I wouldn't really care that I messed the pick up.

Same.  As soon as I heard Bridgewater was out I switched from Philly

[PuRock]

Its a shame NO squeaked it out.  That would've left me as the sole player with zero strikes after I went GB.  

[ravensdan]

All about the Vikings at home vs a Calvin less lions team. Last week could have been the beginning of the wheels coming off this team once again. Got to love teddy at home.

Yikes. Bad choice.

[beanfigger]

I'm guessing ties count the same as wins, right?

Gees, I'm hoping they do.

Somehow.

Lucky.  You deserve an asterisk.

[beanfigger]

Gees, I'm hoping they do.

I think they should. If your pick doesn't lose, then you shouldn't be eliminated.

[Inqui]

I wonder if it's too late to change my team name then.

[allblackraven]

Yahoo! actually gave you a strike. Just 2 perfect records left now, PuRock and beanfigger.

[ravensdan]

Best pick this week is definitely Baltimore.

Best pick this week is definitely Baltimore.

 

The one thing I learned from being a Ravens fan, is to never trust the Ravens.  When they should win, they lose.  When they should lose, they win.  

[Inqui]

The Ravens were my first pick, but at this stage I'm poised for another potentially interesting pick.

[Inqui]

Had Cleveland for most of the week, but changed to the Lions last minute.

[allblackraven]

I did not survive. Should have listened to the voice in my head after Harvin trade...

The Seahawks are like the Bengals of last week - right team on paper (coming off a loss, comfortably the better team overall) but it just didn't happen.

 

PuRock got a strike for the Browns and now beanfigger is the only one left with a clean pocket.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Thought about the Browns, but went with the Ravens.  Good choice.

[beanfigger]

If this was a real eliminator league, I would have just won. I'll have to make the best of the cushion I've given myself in the coming weeks.

[allblackraven]

Just figured - both my strikes came on picking against the Rams. And they won by 2 pts both those games.

[beanfigger]

I would normally feel good about my pick this week, but I think it'll end up being a case of not learning from others' mistakes. My place at the top may be pretty short-lived.

[ravensdan]

Best picks of the week IMO...

Detroit in England over Atlanta

Jets home v bills

Dallas home v skins

Seattle road v Carolina

[beanfigger]

Wow, just checked the league. If the Redskins win, it's over. Not likely, but crazy that you all put your last eggs in the same basket.
