Packers 38
Chargers 21

Pack has never lost in San Diego and that will not change this weekend.

Guess who is on the cover of Sports Illustrated ..the world series champs- St Louis Cardinals? Nope, the green and gold.

Go Pack Go!

Youre right, Packers on the cover everywhere except the state of misery.

Mark Purdy: 49ers lineman Alex Boone overcomes his demon - San Jose Mercury News

Nice story.

Oh and 9ers win.

Beck seems to make pretty bad decisions under pressure. When he get's pressured he doesn't toss the ball out, he tries to run or force something. 9ers D is too good for that.

Gore is on the roll, redskins D is a mess.

Alex smith will do enough to win but not much more.


7-1!

The Redskins are a M.A.S.H. unit right now. Even the guy they brought in off waivers is hurt ( Tashard Choice ~ hamstring ). It's hard to imagine the Redskins doing much. The Beck experiment seems to be coming near an end. Rex might be driving the bus soon.

Well... The Seahawks run defense is doing fantastic and the defense overall, considering how young it is, is doing quite well. Problem is our offense and complete lack of a run game is frustrating.

Dallas this week. I think are run D will remain strong so long as the offense can muster some points and allow to defense to rest at least a little bit. Dez Bryant and Brandon Browner will probably get in a fight.

Seattle: 17
Dallas: 16

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm in agreement about the Packers, but the way Sandy Eggo is playing I believe the Pack will win by at least 6, more likely a TD. Pack 31, Chargers 24.

After their loss to the Steelers I've completely lost faith in the Patriots defense. A team that I once considered a legitimate Super Bowl contender I now consider a potential Wild Card candidate. No knock on the Steelers, they're an excellent team with a good shot at the SB, and there's no shame in losing to them. But that defense can't tackle, it gives up way too much pass yardage, and they can't stop anyone from converting on third down. I think the Pats have been emphasizing their offense so much these past few years that it's now catching up to them, in the form of a porous and neglected defense. This team deserves a 9-7 record by season's end.

No need to give up hope due to a loss to a tough Steelers team at home. It only counts as 1 loss. Seems to be an awful lot of over-reacting lately due to the non-stop media coverage these days. Remember what they were saying about the Steelers after the first game? Old and slow. Heck, I saw guys on the Lions forums wanting to bench Stafford after the 2 losses, he's in the top 5 in the league in a number of categories for QBs, like wins, TDs, and passer rating. That kind of talk is just crazy.

All the playoff teams are going to lose 2-6 games, maybe even as many as 7 but a team just needs to get in the playoffs to have a good shot, Packers were a 6 seed last year and I don't remember much talk at the half way point of them being the favorite to win it all, seems to me that the Falcons and Pats were the favorites when the playoffs started.

There seems to be a rash of bad tackling going on in the NFL this year, it could be due to the new rules that only allow teams to have 14 full contact practices during the course of the season. There is only 1 way to practice tackling, with the pads on actually tackling people. I suspect that the league knew that less full-contact practice time would result in more "exciting" offensive football when they went with the new rules.

Possibility that i will fail miserably this week, too many "upsets" picked?

@Buffalo vs New York (NYJ) Sun 11/06 10:00am - Long shot, they are in Buffalo...

@Dallas vs Seattle Sun 11/06 10:00am - Seattle is terrible.

Atlanta vs @Indianapolis Sun 11/06 10:00am - see above

@Kansas City vs Miami Sun 11/06 10:00am - see above

@New Orleans vs Tampa Bay Sun 11/06 10:00am - New Orleans is probably a bit embarrassed, so they will try to make it up by winning.

San Francisco vs @Washington Sun 11/06 10:00am - Go 9ers!!

@Houston vs Cleveland Sun 11/06 10:00am - Brownies looked ok in 2nd half vs 9ers, but i doubt it, houston has been pretty strong

@Tennessee vs Cincinnati Sun 11/06 01:05pm - toss up

@Oakland vs Denver Sun 11/06 01:05pm - Oh man, i don't know... No McFadden, bush is ok, Palmer is new... but Danver is pretty bad... I don't know... I might change this one.
@New England vs New York (NYG) Sun 11/06 01:15pm - I think they can take the pats.

@Arizona vs St. Louis Sun 11/06 01:15pm - No Kolb and it's a division game, anything can happen. Bradford fully practiced today, i think rams will be ok.

Green Bay vs @San Diego Sun 11/06 01:15pm - oh chargers... it's gotta be ****** being chargers fan.

@Pittsburgh vs Baltimore Sun 11/06 05:20pm - Toss up.

@Houston vs Cleveland Sun 11/06 10:00am - Brownies looked ok in 2nd half vs 9ers, but i doubt it, houston has been pretty strong Sadly Colt has regressed. He looks like a Rookie again. Greg Little sure wants last years Colt to show up. He wont.

@Tennessee vs Cincinnati Sun 11/06 01:05pm - toss up

@Oakland vs Denver Sun 11/06 01:05pm - Oh man, i don't know... No McFadden, bush is ok ( Taiwan Jones is the x-factor here for the RB's ), Palmer is new ( and has a noodle for an arm for two years )
@New England vs New York (NYG) Sun 11/06 01:15pm - I think they can take the pats. I see Brady getting bum rushed and harassed all day.

@Arizona vs St. Louis Sun 11/06 01:15pm - No Kolb and it's a division game, anything can happen. Bradford fully practiced today, i think rams will be ok. The ground game for the Rams is alive and well.

Green Bay vs @San Diego Sun 11/06 01:15pm - oh chargers... it's gotta be ****** being chargers fan.

@Pittsburgh vs Baltimore Sun 11/06 05:20pm - Toss up. The Steelers are going to make the Ravens pay for running up the score and popping off about it.

@Philadelphia vs Chicago Mon 11/07 05:30pm - Depends which philly shows up-- At home, the fans will be heard. Looks like the Iggles have turned the corner.
My thoughts in red We agree mostly.
