Thanks Darkness - seems I've fallen a bit though, hope to make that up!

 

[Zarn]

Arizona at Dallas (just compare DAL's sacks to AZ's sacks allowed)
Chicago at Detroit (It's in DET, so... )
Cleveland at Houston (CLE is bad, but is it HOU bad?)
Green Bay at Cincinnati (would be an upset otherwise)
Jacksonville at St. Louis (StL ain't that good, and JAC is decent)
Minnesota at Carolina (Do I need to explain?)
Oakland at Tennessee (OAK is not that bad. They have a tough sched)
Washington at N.Y. Giants (could go either way, but I have a feeling WAS pulls it off)
Kansas City at San Diego (SD is a bit angry, after last week)
Miami at New Orleans (Beats me. NO games are impossible to predict)
Philadelphia at Denver (DEN is also angry, after last week)
Tampa Bay at San Francisco (same as GB game)
Buffalo at New England (NE needs this game, and they are the better team)
Baltimore at Pittsburgh (I don't think it is even close)

 

[Whomp]

Arizona at Dallas
Chicago at Detroit (Da Bears are playing physical)
Cleveland at Houston
Green Bay at Cincinnati
Jacksonville at St. Louis
Minnesota at Carolina
Oakland at Tennessee
Washington at N.Y. Giants
Kansas City at San Diego
Miami at New Orleans (Baton Rouge, LA)
Philadelphia at Denver
Tampa Bay at San Francisco
Buffalo at New England
Baltimore at Pittsburgh

Moving on in the "last man standing" pool after picking Washington last week. One person might be eliminated since they put Washington down twice. A big no no!

I've taken Pitt, Philly, Indy, TB, Car, KC, Wash so this week I will take....NE. 5 of the remaining people have already taken NE so this could be the big week for me. NE has to win. I have a feeling most will take DAL, Pitt or MIA since most took CIN. None look like an easy layup.

Darkness my Civ4 copy gets delivered 28-31st I will report back to you at CDZ.

[tcjsavannah]

Arizona at Dallas DAL 21-10 (always a home game for dallas no matter where)
Chicago at Detroit DET 17-10 (garcia wins it with his legs)
Cleveland at Houston HOU 8-7 (the texans succeed where the astros failed)
Green Bay at Cincinnati CIN 38-13 (palmer lights up the pack)
Jacksonville at St. Louis JAC 20-17 (second straight backup QB the jags beat)
Minnesota at Carolina CAR 31-17 (steve smith goes wild)
Oakland at Tennessee TEN 28-21 (mcnair will come back strong)
Washington at N.Y. Giants WAS 21-20 (brunell gets one over on coughlin)
Kansas City at San Diego SD 32-30 (i'm going to keep picking SD til they win)
Miami at New Orleans NO 27-20 (lsu players will play in saints unis and beat saban)
Philadelphia at Denver DEN 24-21 (can't pick against broncos at mile high)
Tampa Bay at San Francisco TB 17-10 (defense is good enough to win it)
Buffalo at New England NE 31-28 (another vinatieri kick to win)
Baltimore at Pittsburgh PIT 28-3 (ugh)

I predict the following teams will experience problems with their ATI graphics cards this week: Atlanta, Indianapolis, N.Y. Jets, Seattle

Darkness: You think SD and KC will tie? Check your picks.
