NFL Weekly Predictions Challenge

Well, if the Ravens keep it up, I'll be at 9-7, much better than I thought I would be after the 4PM's. But yeah, I can't ever pick the Raider's correct, can I?

Just to let everyone know I am out sick today so I don't have access to my spreadsheet. I will post this week's matchups today but I won't be able to update the standings until tomorrow.

EDIT: Week Fifteen Matchups are posted, and here are my picks:

San Francisco at San Diego - Thank goodness I have San Diego defense on my fantasy team :)
Buffaro at Miami - Not sure what's wrong with Miami, but I like Buffaro for the road upset.
Detroit at Tampa Bay - Eh, I would love to pick Detroit, but I can't be bold with picks anymore.
Arizona at Carolina - Arizona doesn't travel well.
New Orleans at Baltimore - New Orleans vs Pittsburgh 2.0.
Jacksonville at Indianaporis - Not twice in one season, sorry.
Philadelphia at New York Giants - Sneaking suspicion the Giants will win...
Cleveland at Cincinnati - Had to change this because McCoy is starting now.
Houston at Tennessee - Hopefully this week Texans receivers will work on CATCHING.
Washington at Dallas - Dallas is semi legit again, and the Redskins are...well, the Redskins.
Kansas City at St Louis - Changed because of Cassel. Lol @ the fact that I'm changing because of MATT CASSEL...
Atlanta at Seattle - SeattLOLe.
New York Jets at Pittsburgh - Overrated Jets are overrated. Miami? At home? Really?
Denver at Oakland - Seems Denver does the same thing each year with or without McDaniels.
Green Bay at New England - Even if Rodgers comes back, can't stop the Pats right now.
Chicago at Minnesota - I had a little faith in Tarvaris left, but it looks like Minnesota needs to start looking toward the draft.

10-6 somehow, despite my risky picks of the Bears and the Cowboys not panning out.
 
San Francisco at San Diego - yeah
Buffaro at Miami - Going with Buffaro to pull it out
Detroit at Tampa Bay - duh
Arizona at Carolina - yup
New Orleans at Baltimore - would love to see them lose, however
Jacksonville at Indianaporis - Jones-Drew too strongth?
Philadelphia at New York Giants - same with WB... NY might just pull it out
Cleveland at Cincinnati - it's okay Cincy, there's always next year, right?
Houston at Tennessee - Houston better not need to have an incredible second half against this team.
Washington at Dallas -
Kansas City at St Louis - depends if Cassel is there or not.
Atlanta at Seattle - lol
New York Jets at Pittsburgh - Remember when people thought the Jets were the best team in the league?
Denver at Oakland - maybe Denver needs a little HE15MAN help
Green Bay at New England - most likely wouldn't have won with Rodgers. Without? Lolz
Chicago at Minnesota - At least Favre is a decent enough QB to do something.
 
10-6 as well if I counted right, average week is average.

Just to let everyone know I am out sick today so I don't have access to my spreadsheet. I will post this week's matchups today but I won't be able to update the standings until tomorrow.

EDIT: Week Fifteen Matchups are posted, and here are my picks:

Buffaro at Miami - Not sure what's wrong with Miami, but I like Buffaro for the road upset. What's wrong? They just beat the Jets on the road! They have a good defense and an average offense, which is better than the Bills bad + bad.
Detroit at Tampa Bay - Eh, I would love to pick Detroit, but I can't be bold with picks anymore. Detroit on the road is stupid, not bold. They are on a 25 or 26 straight road loss streak.
Washington at Dallas - Dallas is semi legit again, and the Redskins are...well, the Redskins. They were actually better when they were losing, not being a contrarian...their defense got far worse after the first few games, and the offense fell from stellar to above average.
Chicago at Minnesota - I had a little faith in Tarvaris left, but it looks like Minnesota needs to start looking toward the draft. Can you believe that people were trying to hype him up as a legitimate NFL quarterback after that one good game? People just love making "bold" claims with no fucking way to back them up.
 
lol CK, did someone actually try to say that Jackson had a good game at any point in his career? His performance against the Bills was laughable, he had more ints than TDs and it would have been 1 TD/4 ints if not for the incredible talents of Sidney Rice. My predictions for this week:

San Francisco at San Diego
Buffaro at Miami
Detroit at Tampa Bay
Arizona at Carolina - oh god this game
New Orleans at Baltimore
Jacksonville at Indianaporis
Philadelphia
at New York Giants
Cleveland at Cincinnati
Houston at Tennessee
Washington at Dallas
Kansas City
at St Louis - Is Cassel going to play?
Atlanta at Seattle
New York Jets at Pittsburgh
Denver at Oakland
Green Bay at New England
Chicago
at Minnesota
 
San Francisco at San Diego
Buffaro at Miami
Detroit at Tampa Bay
Arizona at Carolina
New Orleans at Baltimore
Jacksonville at Indianaporis
Philadelphia at New York Giants
Cleveland at Cincinnati
Houston at Tennessee
Washington at Dallas
Kansas City at St Louis
Atlanta at Seattle
New York Jets at Pittsburgh
Denver at Oakland
Green Bay at New England
Chicago at Minnesota
 
49ers at Chargers - This one is a guarantee.

Browns
at Bengals- Switched pick because McCoy is back.

Redskins at Cowboys - Quick, pick up the Cowboys D/ST in your fantasy league, Rex Grossman is coming to town!

Texans
at Titans - I feel real bad for the Texans. They have so much potential, but their head coach has as much intelligence than an empty soda can. The Titans are an absolute mess and I think they quit on Fisher.

Jaguars at Colts - The Jaguars inept secondary just made Jason Campbell look like Dan Marino. I think Peyton is a little better than Campbell.

Chiefs at Rams - The Chiefs are the AFC Seahawks: good at home, bad on the road.

Bills
at Dolphins - Henne won't go 5/18 for 55 yards (netting 30) against the Bills, but he has zero confidence ever since he was benched. The Bills will take advantage of this.

Eagles at Giants - The Giants are getting healthier and they looked like the best team in the NFL when they were at 100%.

Lions at Buccaneers - The Lions haven't won a road game since 2007. The Bucs may have lost Aqib Talib, but Drew Stanton is beyond terrible.

Cardinals
at Panthers- This is the NFC "Championship" for Toilet Bowl XLV. The Cardinals are not as incompetent as the Panthers, so I'll pick them I guess.

Saints
at Ravens - Matt Schaub exposed the Ravens' defense. Wanna bet Drew took notes?

Falcons at Seahawks - Upset special. Matt Ryan plays poorly on the road and Qwest Field is one of the best homefield advantages.

Broncos at Raiders - The Broncos entire defensive line is going to have nightmares about playing Darren McFadden again. He posted 209 total yards on just nineteen touches last week.

Jets at Steelers - Sanchez is going to picking grass out of his helmet all week after this. He's playing like a wounded zebra and Harrison, Woodley and Polamalu are playing like hungry lions.

Packers at Patriots - The Packers don't stand a chance without Rodgers. The last time Brady lost a regular season home game was on November 12, 2006.

Bears at Vikings - Fire the Giants defensive line and now Julius Peppers again? No wonder Favre doesn't want to play anymore.
 
San Francisco at San Diego
Buffaro at Miami
Detroit at Tampa Bay
Arizona at Carolina
New Orleans at Baltimore
Jacksonville at Indianaporis
Philadelphia at New York Giants
Cleveland at Cincinnati
Houston at Tennessee
Washington at Dallas
Kansas City at St Louis - ill come edit this once i hear word about cassel [Edit: picking KC, cassel should be playing]
Atlanta at Seattle
New York Jets at Pittsburgh
Denver at Oakland
Green Bay at New England
Chicago at Minnesota
 
San Francisco at San Diego Their division to lose.
Buffalo at Miami Unless a Bills coach tries to trip Nolan Carroll.
Detroit at Tampa Bay "Best" player, worst team.
Arizona at Carolina <crosses fingers>
New Orleans at Baltimore Flacco goes crazy this time. For sure.
Jacksonville at Indianapolis Upset alert: The Jags are pretty hot this season.
Philadelphia at New York Giants New York should be the Eagles' next--ahem--Vick-tim.
Cleveland at Cincinnati Going off records here, 'cause this game sucks.
Houston at Tennessee Unless the Texans recover, they'll never make it back into this one.
Washington at Dallas If only we could predict ties...
Kansas City at St Louis King takes Cassel, C7. Checkmate. (Props if you get the chess reference.)
Atlanta at Seattle No trouble for Atlanta here, the Seahawks suxx0rz.
New York Jets at Pittsburgh Revis and Cromartie? More like Beavis and Butthead (respectively, of course).
Denver at Oakland Despite the general opinion, parity in the NFL is NOT dead...
Green Bay at New England ...unless your name is the New England Patriots.
Chicago at Minnesota Three to one Orton puts up three TDs. Two to one the Vikings try to "tap out" at halftime.
 
San Francisco at San Diego: Fuck it I want the upset, if the Raiders can do it of all team, no reason Niners can't. If the Defense can to play as thoroughly dominantly as they did against the Broncos and showed flashes of in the past, I think they can pull it off. That and it's my secret desire for Chargers to lose just to prove the point that they can't keep making strong last month surges to win their previously-weak division

Buffaro at Miami: Dunno really, could go either way, but I think Miami will pull ahead

Detroit at Tampa Bay: Detriot = horrible away team. Plus TB is so much better

Arizona at Carolina: Panther's best bet is to just lose and secure themselves a nice high draft pick next year. Who would have thought though that these 2 playoff teams from only a few years ago would be bottom dwellers again? To think it all started with a 4 pick game from then-QB Delahome...

New Orleans at Baltimore: Unless the Ravens can get their offense moving as well, I think the Saints can outscore them despite the tough Ravens defense to win

Jacksonville at Indianapolis: Not betting against the Colts at home

Philadelphia at New York Giants: I think they can take the rematch, but we'll see, Giants are no pushovers

Cleveland at Cincinnati: Against the faltering Bengals, I like the Brown's chances

Houston at Tennessee: Loser bowl here, though I'm channeling Houston as the winner

Washington at Dallas: I still think the Redskins are vastly improved (besides defense) from last year's version, but the Cowboys are apparently still trying to be the spoiler team for everyone else...oh well, not like the Redskins were in postseason contention anyways

Kansas City at St Louis: Rams are ok, but KC should have Cassel back, which should mean a win

Atlanta at Seattle: Lol Seattle

New York Jets at Pittsburgh: Jets can't get that offense going, and Steelers have it going on along with the defense to compete. Really Jets, are you trying to squeak in at 9-7 again? That isn't happening >.>

Denver at Oakland: Oakland for postseason? Still possible, though losing last week's game cost them a chance to catch up with the Chiefs, and need a lot of luck for them to drop the next 2 easy games

Green Bay at New England: This is largely dependent on Rodgers, if he's healthy I'm going with Green Bay regardless of how favorable the Patriots are in this matchup. Otherwise, Packers don't have a chance in hell without him really

Chicago
at Minnesota: Jackson isn't bad so far, but I think Bears are a bit pissed at losing so lamely to the Patriots, so they'll come out firing

Might change some depending on injures of course.

Well, its time to make a move, and this is it.

San Diego is a much better team overall, should have no problems with San Francisco. Miami is still a credible threat, shouldn't be too hard to beat Buffalo. Tampa Bay is still quite good, Detroit is ok at best. Arizona vs. Carolina might just be the worst game of the year - Arizona gets the minor edge here. Baltimore looks worse each game - New Orleans looks better every minute. I'm picking Jacksonville because I don't believe Peyton can carry his team to the win against MJD. Michael Vick et al is still one of the best teams in the league, and I can't pick the Giants when they might not have Bradshaw. Cinci is still one of the worst teams in the league, and their losing streak will continue against Cleveland. Houston has some serious bad luck, but Tennessee still has way to many issues. Dallas vs. Washington is a tough pick, but Dallas is still a better team than the Redskins.

I don't think Cassell will be quite ready for this game, and he definitely won't be at 100%. Atlanta has proven that they are the best team in the NFC, while Seattle continues in their mediocrity. I believe in my Jets, goddammit - if they don't get it together now, they won't be able to do so. Also, I think our blitz packages will be able to take out Big Ben early, as he is already banged up. I can't win with my Oakland picks, but I still believe they are better than Denver. It is foolish to pick against the Patriots at this point - they are the best team in the NFL right now. Finally, Chicago is a much better team than Minnesota, and Minnesota is definitely not used to playing outside or without Favre.

I don't feel like dramatics anymore, so I'll just note a couple changes:

-Bungalow Bill has moved up to 4th place, part of a charge he's mounted in the last four weeks with some consistently high marks that brought him from the lower half of the field into the elites.

-Somebody has extended his lead to 2 games, the largest gap a leader has enjoyed all season. He's looking like a favorite to win this with his consistently good marks each week.

-Echo. made a move this week too, a 12-4 mark being good enough to put him in 5th place. This move was also aided by Zangetsu, Shinryu, and Slyguy46's mistakes (all 3 posted 9-7 records)

-kd24 and I remained in exactly the same place, posting respectable (but still not good enough) 11-5 records. Seven games out of first place, it seems unlikely that I'll make it, but there's still a chance right?

LET'S GET IT ON!
