Im reading some Opinion pieces about the Det vs Sf game. Its funny how easily some people forget how close most of Detroits games have been this year on their way to being undefeated. Behind at the half in may of the games to teams that are not considered to be powerhouses this year. I picked Detroit to win but I definitely think it will be a close game and if the niners go up early its going to be very difficult for the lions to come back. Jhavid Best is a good runner but I really dont think he is going to do much against the niners outside of the passing game.

Im seriously tempted to change my pick to SF.

agreed, lions have played basically all bad teams this year besides niners and keep barely winning. only reason i picked lions was cuz it was home.

lol.

china rider, talk us through your thinking for the st. louis pick - were you just going out on a limb so you could look like a genius if there was a totally unexpected upset or did you see something in the matchup that we didn't?

green bay's pass defense is pretty bad but st. louis' passing game is terrible so that's a wash. steven jackson is a great running back but green bay has the 5th best run defense in the game.

interested to hear your thinking.

ah, voting with heart not head :)

i went ahead and recalculated home team's record for the entire season - he didn't get scored in week 2. home team's season record is 45-32.

I gotta start being conservative with my picks. I have been trying to catch up by picking so many upsets, and it is just putting me in a bigger hole.
 
here you go. big props to chickenscratch for going 12-1 this week - very impressive. no props to methadone84 who felt confident he'd be perfect this week and scored a mediocre 8-5 :) finally, commiserations to genericmind who would also have gone 12-1 if he could have found a way to pick against buffalo and for new england for once :)

I could see many of these games going either way. may have to edit some of my picks, including the Det VS Atl, SD VS NYJ, Was VS Car, and Chi VS TB!!

IMO SD is gonna embarrass the jets in their own house. Im pretty torn on was vs car, sea vs cle and chi vs tb.
