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

?
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.
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. 
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?

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.

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*
