Changing my WAS-SF pick to SF for the win


Trying to 2-0 on changes....changing my pick for NYJ-BUF game to BUF to win.

That hurry up last minute drive before the half for NO was a thing of beauty.



I think the Bills can win at least two more games. Three would be tough considering who's on the list. Sometimes you can catch a top team coasting at the end of the season, but none of the players at hand this time have enough separation to even think about putting the brakes on at this point though. But maybe catch a team that's not fully prepared.

 

EDIT : Definitely taking the Bills in the meeting vs. the Browns : http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000433706/article/roundup-tashaun-gipson-suffers-grade-3-mcl-injury



Wow, sad.

Well hopefully this season will drum Rob Ryan out of the league. He stunk it up in Dallas, dunno how he got another job honestly. The playcalling in the losses this year has been abominable by NO.



You still think the winner of the NFC South will have a winning record, rol? At this point I think the winner will be lucky to be .500.

Damn, I mean I hate the chiefs with every fiber of my being and wish only for their failure on the field, but certainly nothing like this.  Hopefully they found this early enough so that it's not a death sentence and he'll be able to recover and play in the future.

Nope, not anymore. I would have never thought that the Saints would drop three games at home in a row. The way things have been going, 7-9 for the NFC South winner is already pushing it.


Yeah, even with the Saint's underwhelming history they've only gone winless through a three game homestand two times before now, so this has been a historically bad stretch even by their Ain'ts standard.  It makes me hope the nfl looks into realignment of the conferences, even though it would mess with the elegant simplicity of their schedule making, or at the very least seeding the playoffs.

Oh... this puts us in a tough situation. That change would result in a tie with Miguel_Zorro and now it's too late for you to make any adjustments. By rule, your initial prediction remains intact with or without my notice.

EDIT: It looks like nobody really knows about the no-ties-with-late-changes rule. I think a fair compromise in this situation is that I'll grant you the BUF pick, but make your MNF prediction an NO win without a score prediction which means you'll lose that step of the tie-breaking procedure by default.


I didn't change my prediction in the late game though? But anyways I didn't know the rule.....COLLUSION I SAY! COLLUSION
