I just looked through those picks

and I have the exact same picks as Dave. Oh and I gave a co-worker my picks yesterday, so I am 1 for 1 with that game being one of my 7 “locks”.

Steelers (done)
Patriots
Ravens
Saints
Colts
Vikings
Chargers

There you have it, you can go ahead and count those 7, well 6, as in the books. Hahahahaha, I hope so at least

Mine... with several changes (not many people like the Browns!)

Saints over Lions
Colts over Jags
Falcons over Dolphins
Browns over Vikings
Packers over Bears
Giants over Redskins
Cards over 49ers
Seahawks over Rams

Chargers over Raiders
Pats over Bills

Browns over Vikes?

I would love to see that happen. The Cowboys need every AFC win over NFC teams and the Vikes should be in the thick of it.

Browns should stick 12men in the box.

The season begins in 3...2...Now!

I guess I had eight locks….my colleague has it locked in his desk drawer til Monday, but I am sure I had us as a lock, although I just hate saying that in case I jinx us. Jinxing other teams means nothing to me

by sduncan24 on Sep 11, 2009 9:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

Panthers, Bears, and Jets..

I see those as the only real difference in my books. They will beat out the other teams (and these are ones that all three agreed on).

Why pick

I would draft them all.

The Lone Wolf

I guess I am the lone wolf that chose the Titans to win tonight. Now they may not have won but not one of the people making that prediction would have predicted to end the way that it did. The Titans in my eyes are still a team to worry about more than the Steelers.

Tony Romo off in dat hole, Watch roll and watch him throw, Watch him lead dem cowboys to the super bowl, now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys, Now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys, Now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys, Now watch me "yua!" crank dat cowboys!

I thought they looked like the better team

except in the kicking game.

i disagree

I think the titans will be around 500 this year. I think they are one of the most overrated teams this year, but only time will tell.

I can’t stand the stealers either way.

by TONYINCC on Sep 11, 2009 8:19 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

Then the Steelers must really bite.

They only rushed for like 80 yards all night. Tenn gave it up in the end, and forgot how to rush the QB. As the famous quote goes “The only thing the prevent defense prevents is winning”.

It's not that hard to execute blocking 4 with 6.

Berger had so much time I could have gotten open.

Terry over Tex
Hasish over hashishkebab
Opium over DalaiLuke (in a close one)
Keyboard over dunkman

You have a tough matchup this week, dunk.

I pick Tex over Terry in an upset.

Terry can’t wear him down if Tex just ignores him.

Well, let's see...

You already lost the first one, Tila was a liar…
Ben’s a decent pick…
Terry wins every argument he’s in, so does Tex… how to resolve?
Hashishkebab has no chance … I’m sure he’d admit it
Opium is never close enough for me to know whether it’d win… but if it was, I’m sure i’d let it win as often as possible.

… and you were winning that fight against the keyboard until I started pulling for ya!

I say Jets over Texans

2009 New York Jets: 11-5

FO on DMN

Maybe it’s because I havent fully woke up yet this morning, but the Football outsiders guy on the DMN blog this morning comes across as a wee bit douche-y.

Gimme the Panthers over the E-gals

Call it the Cowboy embarrassment factor. Carolina’s last game may have been uglier than our last game…. and while the Panthers D is banged up, I see a spirited effort by them… which should be enough to pull off the upset. I’m also predicting Mike Goodson takes a kickoff to the house!

by Road Warrior on Sep 11, 2009 10:15 AM CDT reply actions  

it's going to be

a total blow out. the Eagles will probably score nearly 40. the Panthers have no run defense at all. They’re so soft up the middle, Siavii would be their every down starter.

by Joey2zs on Sep 12, 2009 1:20 AM CDT up reply actions  

The Eagles oline

hasn’t exactly been impressive

and likewise, without bradley and dawkins and with a different D coordinator, the Eagles may have problems stopping carolinas ground game. The Panthers have a pretty good oline of their own.

I had picked the steelers with the home opener and the pumped up crowd.

Dolphins, saints,Cowboys, Vikings, Colts, Pats, Chargers,Texans, Eagles, Packers, Redskins, Cards, Seahawks, Bengals, and Ravens

I think Carolina has a great shot to beat Philthy

If they can get their power running game going, they can control the clock and limit the Iggles possessions. If CAR defense can get to McFlabb (Andrews is out replaced by Winston Justice, and Peters has to win against Peppers or the rookie Everette Brown, not a given) I think CAR wins.

Which team jumps to prominence this year?

It’s someone every single year, which makes picking week one even more difficult. Not that picking all the games is easy any time. Green Bay really looks good, albeit preseason.

the Bengals beat the Broncos
the Saints run it up on the Lions
the Colts always struggle with the Jags, but the Jags are not the same team anymore.
the Falcons win at home Dolphins
the Vikings beat the Browns with their wheezy QB
the Packers beat the Bears, and it’s not as close as one might think.
the Giants win a low scoring affair against the skunks
the Cards take the phonyniners
the Seahawks win as the Rams begin to relearn how to play football
the Cowboys over the Bucs convincingly
the Eagles run right through the Panthers pathetic tackling
the Ravens win handily over the Chiefs
the Texans actually win an opener against the Jets
the Chargers spank the Raiders
the Pats chew the Bills up and spit them out as Moss upstages the incredible human mouth

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

raiders over chargers

if not the raiders atleast show they won’t be push over anymore

What the French?! Toast!

by thebigham on Sep 12, 2009 7:04 AM CDT via mobile reply actions  

I was thinking that same thing.

The Chargers may be in for a surprise, or at least a closer game than a lot of people think. I hope they know that Russel throws bombs 1/3 times he takes a deep drop.

Looking ahead...

If the Giants somehow manage to lose this week to the Redskins, and then they’ll of course lose to the Cowboys next week… Does the universe tear itself apart? One of the top picks for the NFC BEast at 0-2?

Sucks for them, two division games to start the season.
