Wow guys! I'm swayed and then again I am feeling defiant!

I have to reiterate...I LOVE this thread! And I think I get a better thrill out of all the chit-chat here than I do on Monday morning when I see/hear the verdict between myself and MCP. Didn't expect this perc when I started this thing. Thank you all for participating!

One last chance to "smack me upside the head". I'll check back here tomorrow morning to see who wants to re-route me with a fervor! Till then...and if I see nothing to change my mind...here's my final picks for Week 12...

THURSDAY

Atlanta
Dallas

SUNDAY

Cincinnatti
ST Louis
Buffalo (changed my mind so much on this one...took the cold weather call!)
Tennessee
Kansas City (this is my "defiant" call...I appreciate your input everyone, but I'm taking the chance that may come back to bite me on the ass!)
San Diego
Chicago (can't take another defiant chance...but NOTE: I was/and still am tempted!)
Minnesota (feel a bit safer, but still have mixed feelings!)
Oakland
Jacksonville
Seattle (there is such a slight edge here...and that's because they are home. Tell me why not BIGbad! You are my ONLY leaner!)
Philadelphia (I've got to believe that McMahon felt sooooooooo good in the last half of the last game and that he wants to make an even better impression...and they are home and, and, and). Oh fuck it...I'm taking the chance!
New Orleans

MONDAY

Indianapolis

TOTAL COMBINED SCORE...25 (had a few sources say this will be a low scoring game...TY for the extra input!)



Oh peeps! This was a tough week. Least for me. Good luck everyone! And iffin' you have anything else to say...please say it before 6am EST...or forever hold my...er...your piece (and allow me to watch...*giggle*)!

XXXOOO

Maybe this will sway you?

After poking around the web for a little while I found these factoids...

The last four games in the Chiefs-Patriots series have been decided by an average of just 4.8 points per game with NE holding a slim 112-97 scoring edge. All four of those contests have been decided by eight points or less, with three of those games coming down to the closing seconds.

The Patriots have won just once in four previous trips to Arrowhead Stadium, but have not lost to the Chiefs in the Bill Belichick era, taking victories in 2000, 2002 and 2004.

PEYTON MANNING "It's going to be a four-quarter game, overtime, you never know what to expect, but you have to make plays throughout the game and have disciplined football on both sides of the ball because these guys know how to win close games."

Bill is a gamer he will find any team's weakness and exploit it to the best of his team's ability.

It is your call after all, but remember this - "Over the last four seasons, the Patriots have stepped things up a notch as the calendar has flipped to November. Since 2001, New England has done a remarkable job of finishing the season strong, compiling a 41-6 (.872) record after Nov. 1, including playoff games. In fact, since the 2003 season, the Patriots are 24-2 (.923) in games played in November or later, and New England has won 25 of its last 27 games post-Nov. 1. Their record in such games is the best in the NFL since 2001."

and this - YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING ON THE WEB THESE DAYS TO SUPPORT ANYTHING YOU WANT TO - LOL!

GOOD LUCK!

TY so much for taking time to research that for me BB! Dunno how to explain it but I can't bring myself to change over...even after knowing all of what you posted above.

My instincts aren't the greatest and so I take full responsibility for kicking my own ass and slapping myself upside the head IF it turns out I am wrong!

My choices stand as posted above. No way I'll be able to change them after this morning so I guess we'll just have to sit on pins and needles till after the games.

Good Luck everyone! I think we're gonna need it this week!

Let the games begin!

XXXOOO

Is it too late for ass lickin time Winston?

Damn...day late and a lick short! Story of my life!

Dunno if MCP picked Dallas BB...but I'm thinking not cause the guy that works beside him is a HUGE (and I mean that literally) Dallas fan and they bicker about it all the time. Only reason I think he picked Denver...but I could be wrong.

On with the ass lickin! Um...I mean...On with the games!

A wink's as good as a nudge to a blind man! (<---why I needed to add that is beyond me!)

WoooooooHooooooooo!

So far I sit at 12 winning picks out of 15 games played! Not too shabby, eh?

Dunno how I pulled out the KC win but I am glad that I stuck with them after all. Something just told me not to let go.

One more game tonight! *crosses all philanges*

How'd everyone else do?

I dunno ... I came here ... found myself looking at your AV and that's all she wrote.

Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV. Look at AV.

Sorry ... got carried away. Although, I could also say I won with every look.

well I'm at least glad you changed the Tampa pick to the Bears

LMAO@db! Everyone loves a winner!

Yep Winston...me too! TY for the tip!

Well...Indianapolis won last night so I am 13/16. But, so is MCP! He had 3 different picks than I did so we sorta cancelled each other out. I am still 1 game down in the count *sigh*

I've got next weeks match-up's but no time this morning to post them. Hopefully I can post this evening. BBL!

((((Everyone))))
