Magpel Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Speaking as a vicitm of the week 1 Dolphins conflagration... Damn, I can't believe the Bengals didn't wipe out some of the pool this week. The Ravens have been better than anticipated, the Bengals are the Bengals. Ride the Lions and the Cards! That's my advice. The Texans aren't trustworthy, and now that Bengals have actually put one away, they are a dangerous pick, even against superior teams. Sad to say, my recommendation might swith to the morally defeated, spiritually bereft New York Giants if they dont pull off the upset in Minnesota this week. Fassell's crisis has come early this year. I wouldn't pick against them just yet. Check out the Sweet Clementines CD at bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't hold your breath, bro. 2000 was not that long ago, and there are too many Vikings who were there for that debacle...The 2000 rout was payback for the '98 collapse, the only playoff game I've ever been to. So this is getting to be a complex rivalrty, pitting the worst playoff collapse of the Fassell era (until last year's ) against the worst playoff showing of the Culpepper-Moss era, or maybe in Vikes history (which is saying something!) These teams bring out the worst in each other. Anything can happen. They Giants may have already f*cked their playoff chances, but note this and note it well--they will start scoring the football. This is just like last year--racking up the yards but not scoring. They'll get it sorted, but it will probably be too late. The NFC is not quite the same mire of mediocity this year, though I still don't think there's a great team out there, and I've got at least one quality imported six pack riding on that opinion. But Back On-T--why don't you all pick the Cardinals next week? Can't you feel it? It's a Fever! Desert Cardinal spotted Fever.

Llarion Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Well, it was fun. I got further than I figured; last year I departed in week 1. I'm still ashamed. I'm much better with the spread than I am picking 'em straight up. I kinda, sorta, uh, *ahem* worked in the industry a long long time ago, and used to be I was gold. (ran 87.5% with the spread for the year in 1986, but that was a long time ago, in a place where it was legal...) Maybe next year, alongside the survivor pool, we can run a separate thread where you pick all the games *with the spread*, to see what kind of living you'd make. Every game would be a hypothetical $100 bet, (we'd find a line to standardize on, freeze the lines at 12:30PM EST for the late posters) and you tally your take for the week, including the juice, and the richest guy at the end of the year wins glory, honor, and the ridicule of his friends. Between the Bucs losing to a team they should have mopped the deck with, and departing the pool, and going 5-8 total, I may not even watch football for a couple o weeks. This was a horrific week!

Bunny Knutson Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 WOOHOO! The game wasn't blacked out!!! Man, it was GREAT to watch the Raiders play at home on TV! That's the first time this season. And they didn't completely suck! Even when they brought in P'Tooey-a-soso-po! ('scuse me) In fact, they were within a few feet of tying it up right at the end of the game. That was cool, especially against an undefeated team like KC. I thought it was a good game. Most enjoyable! I certainly hope Gannon's shoulder heals fast, but Tuiasosopo played well tonight, in my book. I mean, think of the pressure. He did well. Sorry, this should probably be in the Official NFL thread, but I'm pretty stoked about the game. Wow, survival pool final four!

flyscots Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Wow Bunny, this is a bit weird. You're wondering if you actually get to see the Raiders playing when they're merely what, 20 miles away, yet sitting in a smalltown in the middle of nowhere in Scotland, I got to watch the game live. Good luck final four, well done so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouizel Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Thanks, flyscots. Lessee, Week 8 (wow!) I'll take Miami. **Standard Disclaimer** Ya gotta watch da Ouizel, as he often posts complete and utter BS. In this case however, He just might be right.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hmmm. Week eight. Hmmm. Well, I was planning, initially, on taking the Seahawks at Cincinnati. But there's something weird about Cincinnati right now. It's almost like they're not as hopeless as I'd come to expect over the last few years. It's to the point where it wouldn't be entirely inconceivable for them to surprise someone like Seattle, who may be getting a little complacent in their new-sound success. I haven't used KC yet, but Buffalo's a loose cannon -- you can't say how they're going to do from week to week, and to be honest, KC didn't look all that shit-hot against the Raiders last night. I briefly considered taking the 49ers over the hapless Cards (that should be their full name...the Hapless Cards), but SF is another bastion of inconsistency. So, that pretty much leaves one choice... Jeff's Pick for Week Eight: The Miami Dolphins.

Bunny Knutson Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Bye, guys. It's been fun. I should've known not to trust the 49ers this season.

Jeff Klopmeyer Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Sorry to see you go Bunny. And yes, I'll be hard pressed to put any of my weekly picks on either Bay Area team this season. Of course, like Dave says, if there's Weasel/Ouizel carnage from a San Diego upset, it's all over for this year anyway.
