I know you guys are all sitting there just waiting for my picks, so I'll willingly oblige.

Here we go!




PICK 1: da Bears vs. Chargers

With Stupidheimer gone, the Chargers should have a fresh outlook. Most importantly, their helmets are by far the best in the league and their uniforms are pretty sweet too.

Give me the CHARGERS -6




PICK 2: Nawlins vs. Colts

Because playing defense is overrated.

SAINTS-COLTS OVER 52.5

(I actually got better lines than these, but that's how we sharps roll...)




PICK 3: Steelers in the Dawg Pound. I don't know why...it just looks good :shrug:

STEELERS-BROWNS UNDER 36.5




Oh yeah...

OK, Hippo - whatever! Oh man, our personal 20-spot bet is going to be even easier than I thought.:mj15:

Here's how you come out the gate properly:

Bills +3
Rams -1
Dolphins +3

Do double-up used.


:Yep:

 

[smurphy]

...you know how i feel about gambling..

Yep. I remember never being able to go on family vacations because of your strong feelings about gambling.

I'm really glad you've honed your craft though. ...If only the damages done to my childhood were as reversable as your capping skills.:shrug:

:Yep:

The Bills don't have a chance against my Broncos. Come on!

And the Panthers wear baby blue...that is too sweet to bet against. Think about it, the Nuggets wear baby blue too.

I like Dolphins though, they are cute smart animals, I'll give you that one.



Good luck........




NOT!

 

[smurphy]

I remember a woman in an old office pool who made her picks the way you do. ....If I recall correctly, she won more times than I.:scared

oh mommy :mj07: I might be in trouble, I am in trouble, I spend to much time in a brews thread & work weekends, can't watch the games....but I have a system :mj07:

 

[bjfinste]

Might as well get the plays out there:

Houston -3 X2
Dallas -6
Rams -1

 

[smurphy]

Bills +3
Rams -1
Dolphins +3

What the hell am I thinking? Dolphins suck. I'm changing that one to Titans.

Bills +3
Rams -1
Titans +6.5

Not even Mr. Mel can touch these doggies.

We may need to start another thread to make sure everyone gets their picks in. Quite a few still haven't done so....

If this were hoops, I wouldn't even try. And you may be right. The reality is I'm setting up for a potential disaster - I could lose to a girl, a dog, a guy from San Francisco, and god knows what other elements are in this thing. ...I could end up making Lloyd Carr look like Vince Lombardi.
