The more I think about it, the less odd it is. The only real odd game was KC/ NY game and that is not because KC won. It's because Pennington and Mawae (Center) were not themselves. I would think they would have worked better together, after the amount of snaps they already had together.
Atlanta: Not weird at all. Atlanta is a good team, and Trotter was out. Besides, Atlanta wanted a rematch, badly. I got this prediction right, basing it on the thirst of the Atlanta team. The game taking place in Atlanta helped.
SF and Miami: Not that odd. They do have new coaches and coaching means a great deal in the NFL. Sure Miami creamed Denver, but I think Denver is overrated in the first place. Miami also has a powerful defense. SF game was a rivalry, and those can be real bitter. They also were playing for their recently departed teammate (yes that does factor in). I underestimated both these teams, but I still don't think they are playoff teams.
Dallas: If you knew what happened in the offseason for Dallas, it wasn't a surprise, especially with Gates out for SD. I have seen this one coming. I thought, with Gates out, Dallas could put pressure on LT, and I was right.
TB: No Moss hurt the Vikings offense, and IIRC TB has a very good defense. I should have seen this, when I made my pick for this game. I admit that I was schocked at the results at first, only to realize my mistake about 20 minutes ago.
NO: Barely winning against a divison rival is the opposite of odd. It's very normal. Of course, NO has been an unpredictable team. I always have the hardest time picking for or against them. The Hurricane could have been a motivator. It's like flipping a coin with this team. I picked heads, and it was tails.
