[
Cleveland@Houston - Cleveland (dunno why not???)
yes.

Greenbay@Cincinnatti - Cincinnatti (hey...they're home)
yes.

Arizona@Dallas - Arizona (real close call for me...convince me otherwise...it
won't take much!)
You know, i'm with Maddy. I usually bet against Dallas every chance i get. But not this time. I think they've got it...IF it doesn't go into overtime.

Chicago@Detroit - Detroit
hmm...i'm on the fence with this one. Stay with Detriot I guess.

Oakland@Tennessee - Oakland
Tenessee. They're at home, and Oakland is without Moss...go with TN

Miami@New Orleans - New Orleans
NO

Washington@NY Giants - NY Giants
Washington. This will be a huge game for both teams - it's a divisional game and that division is very close.

Jacksonville@St Louis - St Louis
JAX...see last week's reasoning.

Minnesota@Carolina - Carolina
Carolina

Kansas City@San Diego - Kansas City (again...real close call for me!!!)
I'm with you on this....stick with KC

Tampa Bay@San Francisco - Tampa Bay
duh.

Philadelphia@Denver - Philadelphia (they'll fuck me again...won't they?)
probably.

Buffalo@New England - New England
NE

MONDAY NIGHT

Baltimore@Pittsburg - Pittsburg (no doubt!)
hmmm....let me think....this will be a close one....

There's a football pool at my new job and my female trainer just went 14-0 this week. I was very impressed. Alas, I don't know her well enough to steal her picks for you yet, Lixy. Maybe soon!

She also made the point that it's awesome to kick the guys' butts.

Oh Man! Great insight LAW! Ya know what...TY everyone!

I know you must be frustrated with me that I don't actually watch the games. As you can tell, I do know the game and I do get some pretty good info from sports sources. I even follow the games as they are all in progress, on a site that refreshes it's page every 5 seconds and tells me who has the ball, where the ball is, what down, and pretty much all that is going on to the moment...without having to flick channels and listen to the dismay or dramatics of the announcers. I keep the site up and running while I clean, have sex, trot from barn to house, etc. or all of the above. Doesn't interrupt a thing!

Gotta say again, there is nothing better than filling in the blanks with a few closer friends than the sources I get on the sports sites I visit. I even have one source that is a computer doing 90 (or so) runs of a match-up and keeping the averages. A computer has no way of knowing personal things like injuries, divisions, and such. This is why I came to you!

Oh...Steph? Tell her my situation! Ask her secret! Hold her down and stick bamboo shoots up her nails. Um...OK...don't do that. But...um...try cheating off her paper...LOL! OK...JK too! But...if you could strike up a conversation about her "secret to success"...I'm here and listening! Maybe she has a system "WE" haven't tried *shrugs* Hugs for noticing her and thinking of me!!!!!!

OK...don't have a clue what MCP has this week. I didn't ask and he is off work tomorrow. We'll wait till Monday for his pick tally!

Here's my finals...(and TY for the gentle persuasion everyone!)



Cleveland
Cincinnatti
Dallas (thanks...I needed that!)
Detroit
Tennessee
New Orleans
Washington (needed that too!)
Jacksonville
Carolina
Kansas City
Tampa Bay
Denver (OMG...will I ever learn to never count on them either way? Eagles, that is...blah!)
New England


MONDAY NIGHT

PITTSBURG!!!!

35 points for the combined score of Monday night's game!




to you all!!!!!!!!

Not to worry. Any good part of any pro sport game can be seen in 120 seconds on the 11:00 o'clock news.

I do go to a site where I don't even have to watch the news to know the exciting plays. They give me play by play and even do recaps at the end of the games if I care to sit and watch it refresh. No one talks and gives their opinion. And none of the team members can make excuses or brag on themselves!

Come on, now. MCP or not, feminism or not, football is still enjoyed more by the male populace. For a woman to go 14-0 in an office football pool, it's time for us to do a li'l victory dance a la battle of the sexes.

Lixer, all I know is she asks her boyfriend for help & she's a competitive soul. I'll let you know anything I learn!

Unlike Tennessee, who can always be counted on to shoot themselves in the foot by the 4th quarter....

Hey scotz? Where ya been? We're in week 8...ya know? Not that I don't appreciate every input (<---I said input...lol!)...but, um...well...WHERE THE FUCK YA BEEN?

Stick around babe! And did you check out the reason for the thread from the beginning?

*pacing the floor because I know he's right about Tennessee...eek!*

Can't hurt to hear opposing views Steph. I'm open to all reasons why a certain team "might" win over a team I initially picked. Can't say as I'll be swayed...but I love to hear the reasoning!

Yeh, I've been keeping abreast (uhuh uhuh I said a breast) of your football challenge, but I've held back 'cuz I don't really have any useful input that would help you...at my house, it's Mrs Zoid who really keeps up with the sports action, & I just go along as long as I see an entertaining game...but the Titans haven't been nearly as much fun since your Eagles got the Freak away from us (now tell me you don't know who I'm talking about)...

Well...as I said on numerous occasions, I don't watch the games or know any of the player's, persay. If a name is continually repeated I'll get to know it...but as to matching it up to a team, that's debatable as to if I can do it. I am of the science that if I hear talk of a player missing for an injury (for example)...I'll investigate his value to the team then, and usually only then.

I know people who spend football season living vicariously through certain players...usually only the cream of the crop. Much like reincarnation and "coming back" as a well known past figure, these people never choose to "sit on the bench". Instead, they take on the role of...say...the quarterback, and their emotions and moods swing on how well "they" did in any particular game.

I just can't get into the games this much or I'd be an emotional wreck! So...I choose not to keep names and stats in my head all season. I'm emotional enough for other reasons...I don't need to add fuel to my fire!

So...enlighten me scotz baby!

Man alive...I'm sucking pond scum this week! It's almost 7:45pm and I only have 4 wins. Just waiting for one more game tonight and then tomorrow's game.

This was a freaky week in football! Surprised as hell that I got the Philly/Denver game!
