So now I really need to reevaluate the Patriots...

Also, Raiders first to fire head coach this season, Lovie Smith relieved.

I think the Patriots got jinxed by ESPN First Take both Skip Bayless and Steven A Smith picked them to win it all.

Finally, ESPN did something right!


Skip Bayless migh be still right about the Seahawks going 15-1 but that will probably not happen either.  The 49ers will probably win at least one of their games against them.  Also if they wrap up home field pretty fast they will probably loose one of their last two games since they will rest some of their starters.

The Seahawks' numerical record means less than the #1 seed though, so I think you're right. Especially since, so far, the NFC has looked weaker than I originally expected. Not a whole lot of undisputed powerhouses in either conference this year.

Looks like local blackouts (in all sports) may finally be a thing of the past. The NFL's anti-trust is exemption is also in question (MLB first dudes), although that one is unlikely to happen soon in my opinion.

Despite being pretty bad for the last 20 years the Cowboys have never even come close to one of their games beig blacked out.  Their last game that was blacked out probably happened before 1990.

I am really looking forward to a tie tonight between the Chefs and the Cheatriots. Both in my top 3 most despised clubs. I think the Chefs are good enough to prove New England is not really that good this year, they just got an easy schedule.

So I was right, even though I picked New England because it was the safe pick. AFC East sucks!


Still not as bad as the NFC South.

There seems to be more bad divisions than good divisions this year.

finally some pp,need that pp

edit- why do i only get 2pp we all got 8-5 for the week

Because you made the worst Monday Night pick by predicting the highest win for the Patriots out of the 8-5 bunch.

He does not act like it, but he actually is a closet Patriots fan.

Tony Sparano is the Raiders' interim head coach now. Can't be any worse?

Voted for both my teams to win, so they might lose now :(. Last time I guessed both wrong, and overall it became a terrible week.

 

Hopefully this week I guess them both right and the week is good.
