seattle? did you see the game last weekend? 9 first downs and 137 total yards. and cin has the 4th best defense in football (ppg).

finding the upsets is definitely part of picking winners but i'd love to hear your thinking on how this is an upset?

cincinnati pretty much sucks. seattle is a tough place to play. seattle wins.

as someone who had to watch plenty of Bengals footbaw (ugh), let me tell you that Cinci doesn't stink. teams like Cleveland or Seattle stink. Cinci's defense is very good, and they have a poised young QB

and Seattle is a tough place to play? sorry Sea-chicken fans, not true
 
Everyone jumping on the Bills bandwagon! I've already seen more picks for the bills thus far into this season than I have in the past two full seasons combined. =D

Cinci has a great defense and considering the way that the hawks got shut down by the browns last week I dont think they will do much.

That being said, the seahawks are probably the best home-field team in the league compared to how they play on the road. And considering the inconsistency of the cinci offense I think its very possible that the seahawks get some big plays on special teams and win this game. God knows its happened to the niners more times than I like to remember.

I never thought id say this, but it looks like seattle is really missing tavaris jackson.
 
^ thanks for accepting the invite to provide some considered analysis.

the more i think about that game, the less i see it as a stunning upset - it's probably closer than i first thought. if the dolphins beat the giants however...

3 dodgy ones but that still only took a whole of 10 seconds to pick! Clean sweep for me
 
yeah seattle winning wouldnt be an upset with their home field advantage. plus i dont think bengals are as good as their record but it should be a close game.

almost thought about picking the Vikes to "upset" the Panthers, but I'm going to play it safe w/ Cam Newton. Pittsburgh has the best passing defense and New England has the best passing offense, Pats are probable to win, but I'm going with my heart over head with Pittsburgh :)

let's see if I can win two in a row!
