Eagles
Vikings
Falcons
Saints
Seahawks
Broncos
Chargers
Buccaneers
Titans

Good luck all. I hope everyone takes advantage of the holiday to stuff themselves and watch some football. I just wish that Detroit would step up and get a respectable team so we have 2 games of interest on Turkey Day

Next week is the last week before the playoffs start. We will be paired off in 2’s for some head to head handicapping competition.

Marinersfan, there was a minimum of 4 plays per week, so after next week, which is the ninth week you should have a minimum of 36 plays. So, you should be giving us at least 10 plays next week.

Next weeks lines are already up, a few posts above. Most of you have already posted.

Wow, I really did suck last week. 1-11 won’t do much for my confidence. I’m 1-0 so far this week, though:)

Well the Lions made me eat my words. Thats the way shit goes.

The worst week for the group is the best week for me. I would spew taunts and talk trash… but given my overall basement-dwelling standings, I will resist.

The group did much better in week 9 than it did last week. Led by Eric Cressey who went 10-4 and rebounded from a nightmare week 8. Everybody stayed above the .500 mark except for TCB whos 2-6 mark dropped him in the standings. My apologies for not posting my plays, I woke up very late and then went to my couch where I slept even more. Big headache. Anyways

Eric Cressey 10-4
Marinersfan 4-2
Doogie 9-6
Phill 9-7
Cupcake 8-8
Shenry 8-8
TCB 2-6

And after 9 weeks

Phill 70-59 (.543)
Eric Cressey 47-43 (.522)
Cupcake 68-64 (.515)
Doogie 71-71 (.500)
Marinersfan 16-16 (.500)
Shenry 55-63 (.466)
TCB 31-36 (.463)
Tonytriceps 45-66 (.405)

Time to catch up with my picks:

Vikings
Bucs
Colts
Ravens under
Lions
Pack
Giants over
Pitt
KC
49 ers over
Pats
Pats under

That is 12 picks so that should bring be up to par with the rest.

Marinersfan, thanks for catching up with the picks.

And yes, because I am in last place, all 8 of us will make the playoffs. I was going to make it so that the first place guy would get a first round bye, and the last place guy would be kicked out, with the remaining six going head to head to see who goes on to the second round. But, because I am in last and because it would just be more fun, all 8 of us made the playoffs.

Yeeeeeeah; I’m back on track:)
