Den 16 SD 13 OT Tim Tebow is sooo good that he gets opposing field goal kickers to blow it. Honestly, I want a Denver fan to tell me that they weren't lucky to win this game because it would be a lie.

Yep, it would be. We did get lucky. But the thing is, since Tebow became starter, the attitude of the team has changed. And now with a winning record for the first time since we went 6-0 (before ending 8-8), the attitude of the fans has changed. Can you blame us for being excited that, even though the team isn't the best, they're finally showing signs that maybe they haven't given up on playing football? Yeah, we've had a few decent seasons since Elway left, and sure Tebow has a long way to go. But we haven't had much of anything to be excited about since Elway left. And now we do, despite Tebow's sometimes awful play. So if we get excited about Denver winning, and marginal improvement in Tebow's game, you'll have to forgive us. He's made the Broncos exciting again.

I don't mind you guys getting excited.  I just find it amusing when people talk about Tebow like he's the second coming.  The reason the Broncos are doing really well is the defense.  They are playing great.  I just don't understand why they didn't play this hard before Tebow started playing.

It is on the internet so it has to be true.

AFC West division lead is on the line this week, so hopefully Palmer chokes. AFC North matchup is always a good one, Pittsburgh has a chance to push the Bengals out of the wild card race.

Well, I won't deny that I don't laugh at it too. He could be great, but he's definitely not there yet. And the defense is definitely a huge part of their victories. But I think that part of the reason why they're doing better is because of Tebow. Again, with Orton as the starter, no one really expected us to go anywhere. He was a good solid QB, but we just weren't a great team. With Tebow as starter, we've turned a horrible season into a potentially great one. He's given fans and the team a belief that we can actually win. I think the most valuable quality he has is his attitude. I don't know if it's as easy to see for someone who hasn't seen the team struggle from a fan's point of view for the past decade, but it feels like for the first time since Elway left, the team believes that they can win. That, I think, has made a huge difference.

I am going to gamble on some so not everyone has the same list this week as it seems to have too many teams everyone will vote for the same. Oh and if anybody joins beyond Amp and zueyzuey than shorten my name to make it fit.

Giants are my team baby!!!  Break that perfect record.

C'mon Bears... Hanie, you were rusty you're first game out. That's to be expected. However, now that the jitters are gone and you've had another week of solid practice... you can finish this one off. For the love of god, at least know how to spike the ball correctly. KC is not OAK, so this should be a relatively easy win.

Regardless of my pick for Dallas to win... I want to see losses from Detroit, Dallas, Atlanta, and Giants. :) Need to secure wildcard spot.

The only people who know about this are the ones who visit this thread already anyway and they do so mostly on Sunday and Monday to recap the Sunday games. The thread is basically dead on Tuesday and Wednesday, people only really check back on Thursday when the next game is (some people even forget about this). So it doesn't really matter when the prediction table goes up, as long as it's there by Thursday.

Cool, but there are tons more hits than can account for the people that post here. You never know. What ever.
