I'm sorry Rol, but I have to object here.  There was a similar stiuation a couple of week ago when I picked the Bears to defeat the Lions 37-13 as a joke since that was the score they defeated them by last time and honestly didn't think that would be the score, but I didn't whine about changing the MNF score at the time because that would be a disingenous way to try to pick up PP.  I think that after the first batch of Sunday games start, that no one should be able to change anything.

Whoa.  Whoa.  Whoa.  The Eagles are your most hated NFC team?  Hand in your Packers fan card now.  Never have I ever heard a REAL Packers fan say that they EVER hate ANY team more than the Bears.  You obviously don't know anything about how Bears and Packers fans feel about the opposing teams.  I'll tell you right now that there is no team that makes me want to projectile vomit like the Packers.  When I see the colors yellow and green anywhere close to each other I let a profanity laced tirade about Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews loose.   

 

Why should anyone believe that you weren't convinced that the Bears would win by a 24 points margin when your buddy superchunk predicted a 25 points margin? You both thought your team is great, but much to your disappointment it wasn't. It's easy to say that it was a joke after the fact. But seriously, Week 9 results pending until this has been properly discussed.

I don't need to hate the Bears to be accepted as a Packers fan. I am European, so Americans are already grateful that I like their weird sport at all.

 

After I explained to you why I picked that exact score you can probably tell that I was joking but hey... joking sometimes gets you in trouble.  You can do whatever you want since it's your league and the tie breakers won't probably mean much, but you did jump from 5th to 2nd because of the change.

Oh, and you should be ashamed to call yourself a Packers fan if you don't hate the Bears.  You just don't get it.  As an American, I feel it my responsibility to inform you of these things.  I also need to inform you that the Bears 52 points were the most in a single game since they scored 61 against the Packers in 1980...
