Your NFL picks for week 12

[Brain]

well, i'm assuming that your second comment about being away from lambeau is referring to tampa. (please, be more clear next time. we can't read your mind and thus know the thought pattern that spawned thet blurb)

i will, of course take the pack over tampa(hell, i was born in wisconsin. i'd take the back against  tampa even if all the starters were benched)
i do believe that you are underestimating the desire to prove something zait. the packers lost to a viking team, that according the record, should have been the other way around. i would be supriused if the packes didnt come on the field looking like they have something to prove.

about the away from lambeau comment. this is i big rivalry game this week. i would expect to see plenty of cheeseheads in the stands. besides. this actually allows the buccs a chance to win. farve is something like 35-0 when it's below freezing? it's below that in green bay today, same was expected for tomorrow. tampa has a horrid record in lambeau. they're probably thanking their lucky stars that the're playing at home.

the other teams i dont really care about. they are  just something else to watch on sunday.

Bondo, how little you know about your own team...while Denver has the best Rush D, they give up a whopping 68% of completions. With Peyton Manning coming to town and top reciever Marvelous Harrison, the Denver D will be torched (look how the Raiders bent them over and raped them with no lube).

As for the games mentioned....

Dolphins, Jets, Colts, Buccaneers, 49ers

All I know is 49ers all the way (although they'll never actually go... all the way... Think about it... Kings, get fucked over by refs in a crucial games.. Giants, fuck up their championship. My teams gonna have to lose in the playoffs to keep their record!)

the problem with seattle is this,
we have a decent baseball team that everyone loves so paul allen (from the evil M$) decides to buy the seahawks and make them 1337. To much money has been put into the stadium and the fan fair, but when its time to buy ourselves a good offensive line its a struggle. Holmgren has a ring, so does our quarterback, but yet we suck more than dest's sister at a frat party. Its begining to look like we are gonna fire us a coach
Seattle isn't a town like boston where our fans love the team if it sucks, the only reason people are going to see the seahawks is to see the new stadium. Also tickets are around 30$ a seat for the worst seats in the stadium, which aren't bad, but its still a shitload to pay to watch the hawks add more looses to their record.

[Bondo]

Sin, Pass completion is not how they rate Defenses...yardage and points are...and Denver is still good there.  One bad game does not a bad defense make.

[Flame]

Holy shit, Assassin picked the same as me!

[Brain]

well jeb, if holmgren gets the boot, i think i know a team that might hire him back as an assistant...

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

As for the games mentioned....

Dolphins, Jets, Colts, Buccaneers, 49ers

Heh, and to think that any of you know anything about football...

I thought I analyzed my picks, but I guess I didn't...so I will go through my thought process for each pick.

Dolphins - Dolphins have always had a great D, Lucas was starting to take shape, and Ricky Williams is a force to always be reckoned with. COuple all of that with SD slumping (win over niners was lucky) and Brees has become inconsistant (not helped by super Miami D).

Jets - Jets have been on a tear as of late behind Chad Pennington and Curtis Martin is playing like the player expected of him fromt he preseason. Jets are showing why (finally) why they were picked by some to win the AFC East.

Colts - Have been playing good football without James healthy...and now he is healthy COlts big three has shown they can put up points and Dungy has shaved points of what was once a piss-poor defense.

Buccaneers - Favre, like in Minnesota, plays like crap in Tampa. Still winless at Raymond James stadium against a perrenially tough Buccaneers D and now a revamped Bucc's O behind new coach Gruden. As you witnessed, the BUcc's D lived up to their billing and destroyed Green Bay.

49ers - Eagles without McNabb are a team who will struggle to make playoffs. McNabb was the offense and his loss will be fatal.

SO, by tomorrow, you will see that Flame (lucky guesses  ) and I will be a perfect 5 for 5.

[Brain]

yea, the buccs did do a number on green bay...
2 words desctibed the pack after the half   total breakdown.  too many stpid penalties against a team where you cant make mistakes if you expect to win.

 i expect to see this game played out in the playoffs. where remains to be seen(more than likely in tampa, who has an effective 2 game lead on the pack now)
one thing is for shure though. After that cheap shot by sapp, if they do meet in the playoffs, both teams will be out for blood


p.s. what do yo think of warren sapp's hit on chad clifton in the third quarter?

[Typhy]

LoL, I just spent 10 minutes digging through old DVDs trying to find the one that I have of Favre's win at Tampa, only to find that I was wrong, and Sin is right, it was at home. My pick of Green Bay was more from my heart than my brain. This is the second week that my picks have really gone down, big. I'll be 2-2 on my picks, after the 49ers beat up the Eagles tonight. Oh well, I'll do better next week.

[KoS Ultimo]

I pity the fools that picked Buffalo over NY Jets. Did you guys not do your homework and relize that the Jets were on a 3 game winning streak before facing Buffalo. They beat the chargers, Dolphins and the Lions, two of which are considered to be top teams in the league. Right now the Jets have one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL arguably. Chad Pennington has the highest catch/attempt percentage for any rookie quarterback in history.

I don't know why some people said it was going to be an easy win for the Bills ** stares at tasty**. After the Jets put Pennington as quarterback they are a whole new club. I expect them in the playoffs.

J  E  T  S, Jets, Jets, Jets !!!!!!!

[Typhy]

Man, and now the pick that I was sure of goes down... Stupid 49ers...

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

Kudos to Detmer, but oo bad he fucked up his elbow and is probably out for the season. Philly is at the third sting now, lmfao.

4/5 isn't too bad...im sure everyone messed up on the 49ers/Eagles pick.

[Mattster]

Hehe i picked the Eagles omfg Hasselback they are going to use a QB in training? If the Eagles make it to the playoffs my face will be like this Go Eagles!

[Flame]

Goddamn Eagles - ah well, 4/5 isnt bad.

[Typhy]

Throwin' in my picks for the Thanksgiving day games!

I'll take New England over Detroit, and Washington over Dallas.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

[Mattster]

Ill take New England over Detroit and Dallas over Washington.

Happy Thanksgiving Eve,
Mattster

[†FiRE Infection]

I'll take New England over Detroit, although I'll be rooting for Detroit, and I'll take Dallas over Washington because Dallas is my Thanksgiving team.

[Typhy]

Not a good way to start the week... I was sure on both of these games, leaving it to fucking Washington to lose to Dallas... I'll post my picks for week 13 on Saturday.

[Typhy]

Mmk, almost forgot these:

Miami, Balitmore, Green Bay, Pittsburg, Kansas City, Atlanta, Indy, and San Fran.

Goodnight!
