Thanks for the heads up. I think we're into the phase where SNF can pick their matchup. I don't know WHY they can't see the intrigue of a Pats/Seahawks game!

In light of the suspensions of several key members of the Saints (particularly McAllister) I would like to change my pick in the Atlanta/New Orleans game to Atlanta.

Here's the story on the suspensions of the three Saints as well as one Texan and two Vikings..

Nothing's locked in yet, R of G, so you can just modify your original post, if you'd like. If you don't get to it for some reason, I'll make the change to Atlanta when I lock those games on Sunday.

Thanks for the story link as well.

[jayson]

Thanks NK.

I'm actually reading that the players involved are seeking an injunction from a federal court to block the suspensions until they can appeal the decision, so perhaps McAllister will play on Sunday. I will keep an eye on the story and change my pick as necessary prior to Sunday morning.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4

so if i win the bonus point, will you take a win away from me instead of adding one? or should I just not put a guess out?

Good deal. Just make your changes prior to Sunday morning....so, please edit your original post with all games. Thanks!!!

Damn, you have SUCH good questions!! I'd say "don't pick" unless you want a point added. There's no penalty (sorry) for not picking.

Congrats winners! Good job.

So, I'm pretty excited since my first baby daughter, Odette, was born yesterday at 12:11 pm! As soon as I can, I'll post some pics! All I know is that it's 1:30 in the morning and I have school at 7am and I can't think about anything else!
