To bad the cockwallet was banned. I wanted to tout the fact that the Packers are the only publicly owned franchise.

Anyway, no talk of the upcoming LFL season?

Your right! And I was Tebowing when I did my picks don't know how I missed it! Not sure I agree with your pick though.

Edit: I'm a big fan of the LFL. Unfortunately too big of a fan. Luckily the camera cut off my head.

RG3 enuff said.

^^I am impressed by him I think he will be good but he's not going to have performances like he did Sunday every week. Teams have him on tape now and will catch up to him. He does look exceptionally poised for a rookie QB.

Edit to add as a Cowboys fan I hate knowing we will face him the next 10 years. I think Indy screwed up not drafting him first and I wish they would have.

I need a guaranteed winner for my suicide pool this week, NE or NYG? Or HOU on the road??

Mark my words, the Niners go one game deeper this year!!

Screw Obama and Romney, vote in a Harbaugh!!

All three should win I'd go for a home team for safety and I cannot imagine Giants will loose but safest bet is probably the Pats.

You really should be picking Dallas but I am bias.

^ In a suicide pool I can't use a team more than once. Strategy comes into play, but I have to survive week to week. I'll probably take the NYG and save NE for later.

Edit: I took the NYG

OAK @ MIA Talk about a suck fest!

Concur. I'm thankful I live in an area where this game will not be broadcast. Unfortunately, we are going to get the Bengals v. Browns. Sad

After watching the Dolphins on Hard Knocks and seeing the Raiders last Monday, I really believe that the loser here has a real shot at going 0-18.

Yeah that games not much better. I think the Dophins have a real good shot going 0-16. Only thing Tannahil has going for him is a hot wife. He might be ok one day but not this season.

That would be some trick in one season! Or is it a comment on the playoff/wildcard system? Razz

You and bravo got me. An 18 game season is just something that was talked about last year. Embarassed

Very possible it will happen next season NFL is seriously considering it due to the unpopularity of pre-season football. Kind of have mixed feelings about it.

Packers seem to be exposing the bears.

The Bears have the worst offensive line in the NFL. Mad

I am less than a piker compered to you all.

I just like to see a good game. Very Happy

@Bear Season

Very Happy

Stop, Cutler's an emotional wreck already without your "positive attitude".

Looks like it's gonna be one of those seasons for the Bears.

Oh well. At least I'm in San Diego. Misery loves company.

Steelers 27-10 over Jets. Solid win with so many injuries.

A few upsets this week and my Cowboys played horible. I'm only 8 for 15 on my picks hopefully I'll be over 50% after tonight.

@PF good thing you went with the Giants.

Thank you NYG! (I squirmed that one out and was very pleased I didn't take NE) Thanks to them I made it through to week 3.

As for week 3 I was thinking of the Bears (-8.5) or the Saints (-9), both at home. Comments? I need a win or I die, and this pool is over $25,000. (Is Dallas also an option?)

@Bravo: Cowboys were primed for an upset vs. Seahawks -- plus travel West to a very hostile stadium -- I had that one pegged from the get-go.

That said, I was very surprised about the Dolphins and Bills winning so convincingly. NE was a huge upset too, but that was totally out of the blue. No one would have realistically predicted that.

@PF: I would not take the Saints until further notice. They are losing badly. Bears are also a bit of a wreck (esp with Forte out for a while), but you would think a fairly safe bet against St. Louis. A stone cold lock would be SF at Minn (-7) but you may want to save SF for later. I am seeing Houston at Denver as PK currently. I'd like Houston on that one (they know how to play Peyton, great running game). Either that or NYJ giving 3 on the road to Miami is tempting. Figure NYJ will have a strong bounce-back game against division rival.
