Damn, Kenology seems to be cheating, he will be tough to catch, but if Miracles can happen and rol can do better than a coin I believe in my own ability to triumph.

Indeed, a miracle happened. I think this was the first time ever that my pick for a Broncos game was correct.

Regarding Kenology, he can either voluntary make so-so picks in the coming weeks or he will get a forced timeout.

Well, the Broncos-Patriots game is probably the biggest game of the week by far. It will be a tough choice. Brady VS Peyton for the first time in a while will be hyped as hell here with Brady drinking Butter's cum of course.

As you proved this week all it takes is one really good week to get to the top. So I believe Ken is in for a fuck up week allowing others to creep closer. His glory picks should not consistantly go on forever if you believe in stats and I do.

Broncos vs. Patriots is an easy choice. Broncos all the way, because I just know if I pick the Patriots, then the Broncos will win.

The problem is that the longer the season lasts, the more is known about each team. This will result in most people making the same picks in the majority of games, so if Kenology maintains or extends his current lead for the next few weeks, it will become increasingly more difficult to catch up to him. Unless you go all out and predict several upsets, but that means running the risk to get burned and lose positions in the standings. So Kenology needs to mess up sooner, rather than later.

Not too worried as there is still a long season to go and no matter what the top finishers will go to the playoff rounds at fairly even odds. The thing is that a lot of teams are inconsistant so it is not alway obvios who will win. I mean even the Packers barely beat the Saints. So far the only team looking to win almost every week is Houston. They just do not face many tough opponents and are running on swagger and confidence. It is too hard to know what team will show up for Arizona, Philadelphia, NY Giants and New England just to name a few questionable teams.



Houston sounds like the winner, they win most of their games before halftime. Plus Arian Foster is a beast.

Hmmm... I don't feel as comfortable with Week 5 picks as I did with Week 4 picks.  But I feel way more comfortable with Week 5 picks than I did with Week 3 picks.  So this week shouldn't be bad at all.

Wat!?  No way!  I make all my picks long before game time.

Uh-oh!

Fuck up week was Week 3... what a disaster.  I think my only glory picks are me picking the Eagles every week, even when I probably shouldn't.  Statistically, they were more likely to loss to the Giants than win, but I trust my intuition above any and everything.  But my picks won't deviate too far from most of you.  So if I have a fuck week you all likely will too (again: see Week 3 abortion).

True indeed.  And, the farther away I stay from Pachter's crystal ball, the better off I'll be.

I have a feeling the Rams might upset the Cards on Thursday but I'm debating if I should pick them or not.  I'll sleep on it.

Thanks for the love.  Also, JJ Watt is leading the league in sacks with 7.5.

It feels great to have a winning team back in H-Town again.
