NFL Weekly Predictions Challenge

[Galladiator]

Carolina at Pittsburgh <shoots self> ...Wait, they won last week? <unshoots self>
Dallas at Arizona Essentially a Toilet Bowl of sorts.
Detroit at Miami Remember how cats hate water? Well...
New England at Buffalo It's a story, of a man named Brady...
Washington at Jacksonville Garrard sucks, but <insert whoever's starting for Washington> sucks worse.
New York Jets at Chicago Chicago should tank this game. I would--those guys need a rest after trouncing Minnseota.
San Francisco at St Louis Only because they lead the NFC West. (But even then...)
Tennessee at Kansas City Essentially a tune-up game.
Baltimore at Cleveland Ditto.
Indianapolis at Oakland Double ditto.
Houston at Denver The lesser of two piles of crap...
San Diego at Cincinnati Eh, what the hell.
New York Giants at Green Bay Giants looked like midgets in the last half of the 4th last week.
Seattle at Tampa Bay But they still don't get the division.
Minnesota at Philadelphia See note at the Giants game.
New Orleans at Atlanta Should be kinda close. (Who am I kidding? It's Atlanta in a blowout.)

Carolina at Pittsburgh - Dunno why Panthers even bother trying to win considering they're a shoo in for the #1 draft pick if they keep losing

Dallas at Arizona - Cardinals just managed to lose to the WORST team in the NFL. 'nuff said

Detroit at Miami - Lions should also be focusing on losing to get another high draft pick to compliment their team

New Engrand at Buffaro - As much as I hate the Patriots, Bills offer nothing to beat them with...maybe they can do us all a favor and take Brady out for the rest of the year

Washington at Jacksonville - Calling that Grossman berserker mode last week was a fluke, and that he'll have a shitty performance

New York Jets at Chicago - Well this is a hard one...2 of the better defenses going up against one another, one with a troublesome sophomore QB and one with a dynamically risky offense. I think the Bears will grind out a win, but we'll see...this one might be changed, depending on how Sanchez's shoulder heals up

San Francisco at St Louis - #1 of 2 must win games for the Niners to make the postseason. Plus good Smith is at QB. DO IT!

Tennessee at Kansas City - A win here will all but lock up the division for the Chiefs and a nice playoff spot along with it. No more late season surges for you loser Chargers

Baltimore at Cleveland - Lol Cleveland

Indianapolis at Oakland - I'm going with "Raiders pull a win out of their ass" here, they're at home and there's just too many injuries to the Colts imo

Houston at Denver - Toss up, I like how well Tebow did for his first start, but things never get easy when you're jockeying around for draft positioning. I'm expecting to see Texans tear up Denver's poor defense mainly

San Diego at Cincinnati - Losing their best receiver pretty much caps off another bad year for the Bengals.

New York Giants at Green Bay - I dunno tbh...Giants have let a lot of points against them in the past few weeks, but I think this is where they'll crack back down. I hate betting against GB at home, but Rodgers just coming back from injury isn't the best of scenarios for them

Seattle at Tampa Bay - Lol Seattle, not to mention it's a must-lose game for them so the Niners can make the playoffs

Minnesota at Philadelphia - Minnesota should similarly be focusing on getting a nice draft pick instead of trying to win, plus the Eagles are about to tear them a new one

New Orleans at Atlanta - Definitely Atlanta's year in the NFC South, plus they're at home, where Ryan is nearly undefeated

I was driving to my parents' for Christmas, so I had this set up but forgot to post. More wins, better yardage (had a bad week last week at 3-2, but winning teams lost in spades).

PIT
DAL
BAL
KC
PHI
TB
HOU
NYG
SD
MIA
NE
JAX

(bottom three have the closest statistics, all were borderline but based on last week >21ish is pretty decent, and all >27 so; SD is a ridiculous +150 or something, they are going to win so hard that it is a little disgusting)

[CaptKirby]

Hey, at 1:1 odds I would have bet any amount you wanted that the Bengals (what, fifth worst team still? something around there) would lose to the Chargers.

No, I know. I was merely commenting on the irony, as I'm pretty certain everyone had San Diego as the obvious pick for that game.

EDIT: Everyone but TheLakers.

 

[Shinryu]

Man, I dunno if I'm just sucking at picks more, or if the NFL's just been too wacky to predict anything accurately...hopefully playoffs will change that around.

 

[WaterBomb]

Ok folks, I know there's still 1 game remaining this week, but this is my only chance to post this next week's matchups before Saturday night (I've been in Seattle since 12/22 without computer access). I have posted this coming week's matchups, and you should have plenty of time to think about them since the games aren't til Sunday. Also, I will not be able to update the standings and my spreadsheet until Monday the 3rd since that is when I return to work (all the info is on my work computer), so please be patient and don't freak out when I don't update right away. Maybe this will add to the suspense a bit. Also, here are my predictions:

Miami at New England - =/
Minnesota at Detroit - Not so much an upset pick anymore. I like Detroit at home.
Pittsburgh at Cleveland - Trust me, I know the Steelers, and they tend to blow games like this.
Oakland at Kansas City - KC division winners? Inconceivable!
Carolina at Atlanta - 19-2?
Buffaro at New York Jets - *sigh*
Cincinnati at Baltimore - *double sigh*
Tampa Bay at New Orleans - At least Freeman got to throw 5 TDs the week before...
New York Giants at Washington - Grossman doing better than McNabb? Hahahahahaha
Jacksonville at Houston - Nevermind, no Garrard and possibly no MJD
San Diego at Denver - u mad?
Arizona at San Francisco - Given the success of interim coaches this season and Arizona SUCKING...
Dallas at Philadelphia - Philly may still be fighting for a bye here.
Tennessee at Indianapolis - Indy deserves the wild card more than Jax.
Chicago at Green Bay - Chicago needs to get over themselves.
St Louis at Seattle - Both teams suck.
