I think a few people's picks for the week were deleted by the troubles, the other night.

[Lootifer]

good point, i woulda gone bonkers if i had to do them a 3rd time

[Frigidus]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH. So I guess I have to do this again? Thanks, Obama.

SF @ STL Not as much picking the Niners as I am picking against the Rams
BAL @ BUF
CIN @ CLE What? How?
CHI @ DET Hopefully our fancy new O-line continues to hold up
SEA @ HOU
IND @ Jax I don't think I could pick the Jaguars to beat anyone...maybe the Buccs
NYG @ KC
PIT @ MIN The latest in the Battle for Bridgewater
ARI @ TB
NYJ @ TEN Both are 2-1, but the Jets are lucky to be there
PHI @ DEN
WAS @ OAK
DAL @ SD
NE @ ATL New England faces an actual team this week
MIA @ NO When was the last time the Dolphins were the sole divisional leaders?

8-7 on the week, 36-27 overall.

BUF @ CLE I got this wrong. What is up with the Browns?
NO @ CHI
NE @ CIN
DET @ GB There is no chance that Detroit does us a favor this week.
KC @ TEN
SEA @ IND Seattle is a different team on the road and the Colts are hot right now.
JAX @ STL
BAL @ MIA
PHI @ NYG
CAR @ ARI
DEN @ DAL
HOU @ SF
SD @ OAK Oakland really messed up beating the Jaguars, they had a shot at the #1.
NYJ @ ATL

[TheMissionary]

I would like to get in on this action, even if late. Here are my week 5 picks.

Thurs:
BUFF over CLE

Sun:
CIN over NE - Brady TD streak snapped.
GB over DET - No Megatron... what did you expect
IND over SEA - The Luck continues.
BAL over MIA - Baltimore finds a W.
NO over CHI - Saints looking like their old selves.
NYG over PHI - Eli remains a giver.
TEN over KC - Fitzpatrick steps up, but can't seal the deal.
STL over JAC - Rams win, give up the most points to Jacksonville yet.
CAR over ARI - OSHA was there for safety.
DEN over DAL - Dallas impresses to fail.
SF over HOU - SF back on track
OAK over SD - is Oakland better than perceived?

Mon:
ATL over NYJ

9-5 for the week.

[muy_thaiguy]

Dallas giving Denver all they can handle. 48-41 Dallas. 3:16 left in the game.

[luns101]

Romo comes through again

[oVo]

Oh luns... Peyton's int got the Cowboys back in the game
and Tony's int gave the Broncos the winning FG attempt.

Entertaining game.

[Army of GOD]

Reminded me too much of last year's playoff game against the Ravens. Thankfully our D got off the field.

There's no doubt our defense needs to step up though. Von and Champ can't come back soon enough.

If Von ever smokes weed again I'm removing him mentally from the team.

[TheMissionary]

I would like to get in on this action, even if late.

Jump right in, the more the merrier or something like that.
The balance of power early in this NFL Season and the closeness
of games will certainly drive a few people nuts. I haven't paid a
lot of attention to the point spreads, but it has to be a killer.

Shock & Awe? The Chiefs and Seahawks starting out 4-0
while the Giants and Steelers are 0-4

The early pick I overlooked that can be tossed out there
beyond what teams might make the post season...
Who meets in the Super Bowl
and who wins it ?

Broncos 38 vs Seahawks 24

[oVo]

IF the NFL Postseason began today I think The Saints and Broncos would be favored to reach the Super Bowl, the Packers, Niners and Seahawks on the NFC side and Chiefs, Pats and Colts on the AFC side might have other ideas.

Terrell Pryor's return to the Raiders line up and Tony Romo's 500+ passing yards were both big surprises yesterday, as the Swiss Cheese pass defense proved worthless in Arlington, TX.

Week 5
Bills @ Browns . . . Cleveland defense & backup QBs streak on
Saints @ Bears ... cool Brees in the Windy City
Pats @ Bengals ... a final shower swamps Brady's comeback
Lions @ Packers ... a Lambau smush that surprised me
Seahawks @ Colts ... Seattle finally loses a close one
Ravens @ Dolphins... Fish get served with a late FG
Eagles @ Giants ... who was more desperate here? NY is 0-5
Jaquars @ Rams ...no surprises here
Chiefs @ Titans ... another good one, three road winds & KC is 5-0
Panthers @ Cardinals ... Newton got baked in the desert
Broncos @ Cowboys ... pass defense was wishful thinking and Romo stopped short.
Texans @ Niners ...wow, Houston was a no show last night.
Chargers @ Raiders ...a left coast shocker as Pryor returns to rip SD
Jets @ Falcons - Smith goes 16/20 and 3TDs & Folk kicks a game winner on the final play.
Atlanta is now 1-4

7-7 . . . 46-31

[thegreekdog]

Week Five from TGD:

- WIn - Bills @ Browns - I'm buying Cleveland right now
- Win - Saints @ Bears - I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears won, but the Saints are sneakily the best team in the NFC (sorry Seattle)
- Win - Pats @ Bengals - Did I mention I hate the Patriots? I'm going to keep picking against them.
- Win - Lions @ Packers - I'm really not sure about this one.
- Loss - Seahawks @ Colts - I think the Colts could win as well.
- Win - Ravens @ Dolphins - Ravens get back on track.
- Loss - Eagles @ Giants - I think the Eagles defense is circling the drain (I'm starting Eli this week in all leagues)
- Win - Jaguars @ Rams - Jaguars stink.
- Win - Chiefs @ Titans - Wouldn't surprise me if the Titans win.
- Loss - Panthers @ Cardinals - Panthers are sneaky good.
- Win - Broncos @ Cowboys - Not much to say here.
- Win - Texans @ Niners - I think this is going to be close.
- Loss - Chargers @ Raiders - Chargers are looking pretty good.
- Jets @ Falcons - Falcons bounce back.

11-4 last week
9-4 so far this week
20-8 overall

Better analysis this week, I think, but was way off on my losses except for the Colts' win.

[Army of GOD]

40-23

Bills @ Browns
Saints @ Bears
Pats @ Bengals
Lions @ Packers
Seahawks @ Colts
Ravens @ Dolphins
Eagles @ Giants
Jaquars @ Rams
Chiefs @ Titans
Panthers @ Cardinals
BRONCOS @ Cowboys
Texans @ Niners
Chargers @ Raiders
Jets @Falcons

Ew, 6-8 this week. 46-31 total.

As long as Geno keeps his head on straight, Jets can be dangerous. Their defense keeps them in games.

[Frigidus]

BUF @ CLE I got this wrong. What is up with the Browns?
NO @ CHI
NE @ CIN
DET @ GB There is no chance that Detroit does us a favor this week.
KC @ TEN
SEA @ IND Seattle is a different team on the road and the Colts are hot right now.
JAX @ STL
BAL @ MIA
PHI @ NYG
CAR @ ARI
DEN @ DAL
HOU @ SF
SD @ OAK Oakland really messed up beating the Jaguars, they had a shot at the #1.
NYJ @ ATL

8-6 on the week, 44-33 overall. Do you guys think we'll see anyone go undefeated or winless this season?

[oVo]

Broncos and Saints both look capable,
but I doubt it will happen.

Of course who'd a thunk the Giants & Steelers could be winless
at this point, with the Chiefs 5-0 and the Falcons at 1-4.

I'm picking the Bears to make the Giants a shocking 0-6.

11-4 last week
9-5 this week
20-9 overall

Fixed for last night's debacle. The Falcons are falling off a cliff. Shows the importance of offensive and defensive lines.

[Frigidus]

NYG @ CHI The Giants are one of a handful of teams with a weaker D-line than the Bears.
CIN @ BUF
DET @ CLE Detroit tends to be a feast or famine team. Time for the famine.
OAK @ KC
CAR @ MIN
PIT @ NYJ
PHI @ TB
GB @ BAL
STL @ HOU
DEN @ JAX Jaguars fans better bring some paper bags to this one.
TEN @ SEA
NO @ NE
ARI @ SF
WAS @ DAL
IND @ SD

[Army of GOD]

Am I the only one who gets annoyed as shit when I read this? http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/05/12 ... n-decline/

Especially the posts in the comment section. I just want to punch everyone in the face.

[oVo]

There is a grain of truth in what is said mixed with a bunch of stupid generalizations that aren't necessary. America certainly has a way of confusing it's priorities and there are way too many schools with the head football coach as the highest salary at the university.

I was genuinely surprised when a local high school opened a $60,000,000 football complex that seats 18,000 last year.

Week 6 picks
Bears...Giants go 0-6
Bengals ... the Bills may run away with this one
Browns...Lions need Megatron back
Chiefs... I like Andy Reid, Alex Smith and the KC defense.
Vikings...just giving a home field nod here
Steelers...Jets roller coaster continues & Pitt finally wins one
Eagles... No Vick? No problem this week in Tampa
Packers... Rodgers is rolling
Texans... Houston finally rebounds
Broncos
Seahawks ... always tough at home, ask the 9ers
Saints...Brees through Bean Town
Niners...back to basics and taking care of business
Cowboys . .. an NFC Least shootout with 1st place on the line
Colts...Baltimore is consistent and Luck likes the west coast

Agreed. They seem to be drawing a line in the sand and saying that people that care about the future of the country belong on one side while troglodytes that like sports belong on the other. The article isn't as much about asking why the coaches tend to be paid so well (it's because a good coach's salary will usually be more than made up for by additional TV revenue) as it is about how much the author hates football.

The fact that they throw out Steubenville as if that is the norm for the country is equally baffling in my mind. Most of the country was horrified when they heard about that, now it's an epidemic?

The Athletic Director at University of Texas is retiring
after reigning over many eras and decades in sports.
His comments on a sports segment of the news were
interesting in reference to the future of collegiate
sports and in particular Football. He said Football bears
no resemblance at all to the game as he knew it and as
such can't predict where it will go from here.
