Oh shit LAW! So...now the friggin Cowboy can rope AND shoot the Eagle!

Oh...wait...Isn't the Eagle protected from harm...(we're talking bald eagle ya know!)? Hey! I mighta found a loophole!

Lemme ask the magic 8 ball...

(or, I could toss the ball up in the air...hitting the Eagle square in the head and eliminate the competition!!!!!!!) :rofl:

LAW is better at this than I am, she hasn't steered you wrong. (Unlike me who had New England and Baltimore last week. What the hell was I thinking?) I just was curious why she was choosing Oakland, I figured there was a good reason.

Eagles (the team)...have motivation and need the win...cowboys (also the team) probably have a better team and are more balanced.
I'm going with the cowboys. I think Philly can't (or doesn't run) and they're still going to be a little distracted. Of course if they focus and come out mad....
Uck.

49 points. Sure, why not.

oh, and maybe the eagle is ticked because the cowboys trampled the land and killed all the animals (except, of course, cows). If this is the case, I think they'll try to recruit the bears and redskins. The cowboys will get help from the texans (if you can call that help, that o-line couldn't protect an invisible quarterback) and maybe the colts. I expect a battle royale :line:

The stars of Dallas will fall right on the eagles head

lix, in all seriousness, I'm going Dallas. Philly has a good reciever in Westbrook, but no running game...that's all Dallas. I really think the Eagles are going to be too scattered in the head to win this on Sunday. Total score...uh....49 sounds good to me too. Why the hell not?

P.S. here's alink you might want to take a look at if you haven't already for some more insight.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...ex.html?cnn=yes

I'm not endorsing any of those picks nessacarily, but it does give you something to think about.

I slept on it and don't ya know I woke thinking football. That's NEVER happened in my entire 47 years! LMFAO!

I'm inclined to think that if I think Philly will beat Dallas...I should pick Dallas because Dallas wasn't my first inclination. Or...was it? Arrgggggggggggg!

OK...Dallas it is!

Final Total Points

49 (<---it's as good a number as any, eh fred?)

Thanks for kibbitzing once again peeps! Good luck to all this week!

XXXOOO

Thanks LAW!

We keep posting at similar times in the morning. Seems you really do sleep, eat and sh*t football! I'm bringing up the rear in that dept. lately (no pun intended...or was it? LOL!).

(((LAW)))

I handed in my pool very early this morning. All day I kept thinking...Kansas City/Buffalo and Dallas/Philadelphia!

Let me say...just for posterity...I am rethinking these games and there is nothing I can do about it now!

If Buffalo and Philly win...just remember that hindsight is 20/20 and I have NEVER had 20/20 sight since the day I was born!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^Don't ya love it? A disclaimer at the end...instead of the beginning! OK...I admit it...I am bassakwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, what *wouldn't* I do for you?



Yeah, I'm generally catching at least one game a week. It is my *second* favorite sport, after all. And, oh, I don't necessarily think that you are going to lose...and I certainly hope you don't. Your dick-head co-worker is well, a dick-head.

Remember football is a complex game. You have to be smart enough to understand it, but dumb enough to think it's important.

Here, I'll have to disagree with you Lixy. I think that Philly will want to prove something to themselves after the lost to the 'Skins last Sunday, and something to Owens after his antics.

I already put in my disclaimer in my last post (which should have been in the beginning...and I had all day to think about it...but I handed in my pool first thing this morning)...lmfao!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh gecko...I don't know if you've read about me and the Eagles...but they are a worm hole in the cherry of the cake of my day!

And hunny? Why can't you get here earlier to give me your opinions? Could you do me a big favor and read some of the previous posts about my feelings on the Eagles and the T.O. incident?

Ahhhhhhhhhh...forget doing me a favor. JUST DO ME!

:sex:

Um...yeah! So...follow along from now on in and gimme some of those reptile opinions...K?

Yeah, but if I do, then it brings up the question of just who is doing whom the favor?

Semantics baby! Don't think so much! If it feels good...make it feel better!



:D

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to log in the past few days, too busy. My take on the Owens controversy...it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's pointing and laughing.

Truth of the matter is, I don't really often have an opinion on the outcome of the games themselves...a major reason I have never bet on football. The rare occasions that I do, I mostly tend to keep them to myself. This just happened to be one of the times when I did, and I didn't.

K...I gotcha! So if you do, you don't...and if you don't, you do! :dizzy:

I'm not asking so that down the road I can ROAR at you and tell you that you've steered me wrong! I just love the banter here...and the bit-o-help I can get in understanding the players and teams. If you haven't read...I DO NOT watch the game[s]. I know the game...I just don't have the time (or interest) to watch.

As an invite...if you get a notion and you see this thread up at the beginning of the week and have some opinions of who can do what...come on in and gimme something to think about!

Any and ALL contributions are greatly appreciated!

Now back to the sex games! TAG...you're IT!

At work yesterday, being Friday afternoon, people were wandering around & socializing. The guy who runs the football pool was talking about how iffy the Dallas game was going to be. LOL I was hoping they'd give me some info for the pool but alas, nothing!

The top three in the pool at my office are female! :jump:

LOL Steph! That's ok. And yes...Dallas/Philly is gonna be tenses...LMAO! It's a huge rivalry and it's Monday night and all eyes are on how well Philly does without T.O.

Well...so far I am 9/13 this week. Not too shabby. I told ya bout my 20/20 for KC/Buffalo. Too bad I didn't have that feeling sooner. And for the 3 other games I missed too...lol!

K...let's see what happens tonight!

How'd everyone else do?

I can't believe Minn and GB won.
I would've won the pool this week except for those two.
And even though the game isn't over, looks like I was wrong about Philly. Which is to say, they've fucked you over again. Not good

Well...Dallas came through for me...by 1! Whew!

I am 10/14 and MCP is 9/14 this week. He had Philly...roflmfao!

Ahem...*tries to stop gloating*

OK...now on to Week 11

TOTAL GAME POINTS
?

16 games this time around. Wouldn't it be cool to go 16/16?

Sorry for your losses fred! Guess that's why they call it gambling!

Let's regroup and you all can give me your opinions of my picks.

Also...They are saying McNabb was injured again last night, which exacerbated his already hurting ribs. I think he pulled a groin muscle...probably overcompensating for his aching ribs. Should he have taken care of his injury earlier? Is it too late for him to take himself out now to tend his wounds? What's the future like for the Eagles? They did play a good game last night (according to the highlights I saw). Thoughts anyone?

Rethink your pick on Miami - they played a good game against new England last week. I think they deserve more credit than they are getting. I think they defiantely absolutely have a chance to pull it out.

And I would stick with Indy over Cincy. They had a good start and are a good team, but they've had an easy schedule. I don't think they can hack it against a tougher team - that was proven when they played Pittsburgh. Indy and Pitt have alot of similar qualities, both on offense and defense. I'm pretty confident that Indy will pull it out.

Good luck girlfriend! here's to 16/16 this week!!!!!!!!

TY LAW! I'll take your suggestion about Miami into consideration...for sure! It's a thinker...

I agree with you about Cincy...but they hold a certain place in my heart because I know Tony Stewart's mother personally. Which isn't to say I know Tony...or that it's even a good reason to lean to them when in doubt...lmao! Anyway...I agree and I'm sticking with Indianapolis!

Anybody else have any thoughts?

I went into work today and MCP was grinning like a Cheshire cat! All I asked was, "Did you go to sleep before the end of the game?" He wanted to say "fuck you", but he held back and just said "One...by one!" I couldn't wipe the grin from my face! Later in the day I was talking to the guy who works next to MCP. Coincidently, Dallas is this guy's fave team and so I said, loud enough for MCP to hear me, "What do ya say ______ (<---insert name of co-worker) I personally thank the Cowboy's when I go to Dallas this coming January?" He laughed and turned to MCP, who wasn't smiling so much now!

Oh, the feeble mind is so easily amused (<---referring to myself) ROFLMFAO!

Oh...and Steph? How's the snooping going?

Wow...Sunday is so far away!

*tick, tick, tick*

OK...chat at me peeps!



XXXOOO

lix, mcnabb is beat up from playin' contact ball. :D
he also has a sports hernia and says he will not get surgery til the end of the season 'cause it'll lay him low for a while, but they are waiting for mri results to say for sure. looks like he might not play next week.

other than that, i haven't a single thought on any of it. :p:D

good luck though!

The only game i see as an issue is the carolina/chicago game

carolina's offense has been struggling of late and chicago seems to be stepping it up on defense. With Chicago at home I would say they have the edge in that game.

LMAO@wyndhy! I think McNabb should be "beat up" from doing the moon walk in the end zone! He loves to carry the ball in and ham it up...but THE MOON WALK???? For one thing he probably aggravated his hernia and/or ham string from doing it, and for another thing...how friggin embarrassing! Next he'll be doing "the funky chicken"...lol! Yes...I just heard that he'll be sitting out this upcoming game. That clinches my pick (like I'd change it anyway...NOT!). Ya know what though, this factor could bring out the ache in my Achilles heel...*ouch*

Carolina/Chicago huh, BIGbad? I agree with the home field advantage...but why is Carolina's offense struggling? Change-up's, injuries, etc.? If you've read any of this thread you'll know I don't follow the teams as closely as others might. Can you elaborate?

So far LAW...I'm sticking with Cleveland for the home field factor. It's not out of the question that I might change it last minute, but it's such a close call for me and that fuels my reluctance to change yet.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone! Does anyone else want to chime in?

but lixy... he's mcnabbulous. :rolleyes2 lmfao

From the Panther's own web site..."A pair of winning steaks will be on the line when the Carolina Panthers (7-2) meet the Chicago Bears (6-3) in a match-up between the NFC South and NFC North division leaders at Soldier Field on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. EST. The Panthers have won six consecutive contests, and the Bears own a five-game winning streak.
The game will feature two of the League's best defenses. Chicago leads the NFL in total defense, while Carolina ranks eighth. Both teams reinforced those reputations last week as the Panthers forced six turnovers in a 30-3 victory over the New York Jets and the Bears held the San Francisco 49ers without a touchdown in a 17-9 victory." Just because Chicago has the 12th man I think advantage then goes to Chicago. IMHO

Good Luck!

I tend to agree with Bigbad...I think being at home Chicago has the advantage. If the weather was going to be what it's like right now, I'd pick them easily. But it'll be a little warmer...so...it'll be low scoring. I think Chicago can run and that will be the difference.

I also don't trust Pittsburg right now. If Maddox is starting...*shudder*. All he seems to be able to do is throw interceptions. I don't know if I can pick Baltomore, though. They're just no good.

The latest news from Pittsburg is that Roethlisberger guy should be ready to go.
also my choice would be DA Bears and Miami
Just thinking outloud

Yep wyndhy...he is pretty alicious, ain't he? He's def out this week and we're left with McMahon. Last time McNabb was out (in 2002) the Eagles won the next 5 games. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...I'ma thinking I might be damned again!

OK...LAW made a pretty good case for Miami and everyone tends to agree but I am still on the fence so I'll make my final decision by tomorrow. Thanks for all the research BIGbad and thanks for all the input/reasoning fred and Winston. I'll evaluate with care...I promise!

Taking into consideration Da Bears too, fred and Winston.

I've got some tallying and thinking to do!

*hugs to everyone*

Does tend to make one a bit nervous when the starting quarter back has had, oh...7 interceptions in his last two games as a starter!!! But even with him starting, I think they've got Baltimore in the bag.

oh and by the way Lixy...*coughMiamicough*

OK...I appreciate all the input and gentle persuasion *couchLAWcough* and you've convinced me. My other sources are real close on both games and with the way things have been going this year it's all a toss up in the end!

My final picks for Week 11

NY Giants
ST Louis
New England
Washington
Jacksonville
Chicago
Atlanta
Miami
Indianpolis
Dallas
Seattle
San Diego
Denver
Pittsburg
Kansas City


MONDAY NIGHT

Greenbay

TOTAL GAME POINTS...46 (<---again, why not? lol!)

So thanks once again guys for the blah, blah! I really do appreciate everyone taking time to chat at me in this thread! It's fun and informative!

Good Luck everyone...and I'll see ya here when the results are in!

This has been a great topic. Thanks for putting it up!

I'm just so glad to have such insightful Pixie friends to participate with me on this topic! It's really been fun for me to find a reason to get to know some of you better. I had no expectations when I started this thread...just a hope that I'd spark an interest in one of our great American sporting events. You know, Male vs. Female! LOL!

(((fred)))


So, I found out yesterday that MCP and I only have one different pick this week. I'm sooooooooooooooo glad I relented to you guys in changing my Carolina pick! He has Carolina and I changed to Chicago. No matter the outcome, I just love the suspense! I always hope that he and I have several different choices, but this week it's so close that I am on pins and needles for the results! I told him I had Carolina initially but "had a feeling" and made the change last minute. I sighted some of the reasons BIGbad gave me from the Panther's website (but didn't tell him my source) and I told him "my gut" told me to take my chances with the change! Not entirely untrue, eh? LOL!

OK...not too exciting this week as far as competition, but my eye will be on Chicago! Put out your best vibes peeps...and however I do, it'll have been fun!

XXXOOO

I love you guys!

So far so good at the half chicago is winning 13-0! *fingers crossed*

We got um Mr. BAD stuff! *moing, moing, moing* (<---kisses...in case you couldn't tell...lol!...ut oh! Sorry wyndhy...NOT! *giggle*)

Shame about Miami...but as I said above, MCP and I have same picks EXCEPT for Panthers/Bears!

WoooooooooooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooooooooo!

Anyone ever see Saturday Night Live's "The Super Fans"?

Da Bears! Da Bulls! Indy 500 or Da Bears and Ditka in a bus? Da Bears and Ditka in a bus!!!!!

ROFLMAOAPMP!

Gonna do the Super Fan dance when I go into work tomorrow!

Help me out with the status check, Lixy. This means you win this week by one over MCP - where do you stand with him now? I know as of a few weeks ago you were down a few points... what's the tally currently?

Way to go, Chicago!

And Maddox sucks. He sucks, sucks, sucks. (I'm so glad I chose Baltimore. But St. Louis doomed my pool)

So, Lixy, you're up by one this week. It's time to take back the lead next week!

AAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHH!! I HATE TOMMY MADDOX SO MUCH!!
God I hope rothliesburger is back next week for Indy or we're fucked. Fucked.
I never would have thought Baltimore could do it against pitt.

Yes it was upset city yesterday! There are still a few weeks to get you back where you belong though. Some tough picks for the up coming week I'll have to take a long hard look at some of these games.

Yes Maddy...I beat MCP by 1 this week. Can't do any better than that tonight cause I'm pretty sure he has Greenbay too. Least I'm 99% sure I saw that on his pool. So, that puts me at 1 down from him on the whole!

Yep fred! It's time! Keep the faith hun...we're gonna need it! *hugs* Let me know of any of your intuitions and thoughts...I'll jot um down as fast as I can!

Awwwwwwwwwwwww ((((LAW)))) So sorry hun! Let me know about the burger meister...k? Hey! Does anyone call him that? If not I am gonna trademark it...lmao! C'mon sweety...we'll get back in the groove from this day on!

Time to start kickin' serious butt now Winston! HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP! OMG...sounded pathetic huh? I've gotta hand in my pool by Wednesday of this week because we have Thursday and Friday off and I bet they wouldn't trust that I "truely picked ALL the winner's" this week...if I waited till Monday...lol!

OK...nose to the grindstone everyone! We gotta find out who's in and who's out this week. I'm not positive about McNabb but I think he's a gonner for the season. Doubt that'll matter much, but it could since they are home and they actually have nothing to lose anymore! McMahon is too green I think and, well, ya know!

Here's the match-up's and my picks for this week. Don't be shy now! Smack me upside the head if you have to to get me to see what you want me to see if you think I am wrong.

Love you guys for chiming in! Now's the time to gimme your best of the best!

THURSDAY

Atlanta@Detroit - Atlanta
Denver@Dallas - Denver (I have this game as a Thanksgiving Day game. Is that right? Also...it's so close to call I took a stab...what do ya think? Gimme reasons!)

SUNDAY

Baltimore@Cincinnatti - Cincinnatti
ST Louis@Houston - ST Louis
Carolina@Buffalo - Carolina
San Francisco@Tennessee - Tennessee
New England@Kansas City - Kansas City (close, close, close call. I took home field advantage...YES?)

Chicago@Tampa Bay - Tampa Bay
Cleveland@Minnesota - Minnesota (again...close call. thoughts?)
Miami@Oakland - Oakland
Jacksonville@Arizona - Jacksonville
NY Giants@Seattle - Seattle (for the home field...but a REALLY tough call!)

New Orleans@NY Jets - New Orleans (by a not so big margin)

MONDAY NIGHT

Pittsburg@Indianapolis - Indianapolis (close call and depends on some factors...let me know ASAP how Pittsburg is looking!)

TOTAL COMBINED SCORE...45

Go get um guys! Gimme the lo-down!

*hugs n hugs*

Lix, I'm disagreing with most everything this week.

THURSDAY

Atlanta@Detroit - Atlanta
Denver@Dallas - This is a tough call. I'm like you, flipping back and forth. right now I'm going Dallas, because they've been on a hotstreak, and they're at home. Denver has been on a hotstreak too, but i just feel Dallas on this one. Wait for everyone else to weight in before you make your final decision though.

SUNDAY

Baltimore@Cincinnatti - Cincinnatti

ST Louis@Houston - ST Louis

Carolina@Buffalo - Carolina

San Francisco@Tennessee - Tennessee

New England@Kansas City - NE. They are a more established team than KC. While KC is really pulling their shit together, NE has it togehter and has had for a long time. Plus, tom Brady. And tedy Bruschi. And Adam Vineteri - yeah, I'll take NE.

San Diego@Washington - San Diego

Chicago@Tampa Bay - Chicago. Are you kidding? did you not see the chicago carolina game last weekend?

Cleveland@Minnesota - Minnesota sounds good to me.

Miami@Oakland - Oakland

Jacksonville@Arizona - Jacksonville

NY Giants@Seattle - Seattle

Green Bay@Philadelphia - Green Bay

New Orleans@NY Jets - New Orleans. the jets quarterback situation is in the shitter. It couldn't possible get any worse - wonder what they pick first round in the draft this year...

MONDAY NIGHT

Pittsburg@Indianapolis - first and foremost I HAVE TICKETS TO SEE THIS GAME!!!!!!!!! 29TH ROW RIGHT BY THE TUNNELS!!! I WILL BE THERE!!!AHHHH!!!!

Ok. here's what I think. Indy is on a tear. Peyton Manning is leading his offense to one of the best streaks in football. There have only been, like, 11 teams i think that have ever gone 10-0.
That being said, all good things must come to an end, and if Indianapolis is going to be beaten by anyone, it's going to be Pittsburgh. Their defense is strong enough to handle peyton and his O-line. Colts have a good offensive line, but they still struggle a little against the blitz - everyone does. And Blitz is what pitt does best.
Plus - rothleisburger is back from injured this week, i think, and rested. Offensively, both teams are about tit-for-tat as far as QB's, recievers, and runners. The difference is going to be the defense, and i think Pitt has it. Plus, Pitt lost last week, so they're going to be PISSED and they will be playing for blood. colts need to watch out.....
If the Colts win this game, they will have an undefeated season, mark my words.

Cliff's notes - I pick Pittsburgh, and watch for me on MNF.
