[John Blaze]

i hope all yall are wrong about my niners.

guy at work bet me 50 dollars week 1 the Cards would win. I made 50. He paid me 50, then bet me the Hawks would take them........

so i made 50, he owes me 50. We're letting it ride. If the Niners beat Minnesota, and they can, I'll be 150 in 3 weeks of football. Nice, huh?

Also, yall should know Favre broke a nail last week, and is listed as injured and probable.

[Rjeso]

Well, he can just man up!

[John Blaze]

Carolina at Dallas (8:30 PM) panthers..i refuse to root against them ...what happened to 12-4 last year?!

but Pat, this isn't about who you want to win, it's who you believe will win, logically. I wouldn't call Niners if I didn't think they'd have a chance, and I've called against them alot, lord knows. Just not this year.

[IWasSentWest]

carolina is the same team from last year, basically. we have the potential to be just as good, depending on how delhomme plays. cowboys arent as good as they are supposed to be (are they ever?). so i pick the panthers in a 50/50 chance. if they keep losing, i will be forced to pick better teams

[Arthur Heath]

Damn, I got hammered this past week. And not the good type of hammered!

Ok, week 3. Some tough calls this week:

Sunday, September 27

Jacksonville at Houston : Texans
Green Bay at St. Louis : Packers (this is not one of the aforementioned tough calls)
Tennessee at N.Y. Jets : Titans (they've had some heartbreakers but I think this is a win)
Kansas City at Philadelphia : Eagles
Cleveland at Baltimore : Ravens (also not a brain buster)
N.Y. Giants at Tampa Bay : Giants
San Francisco at Minnesota : Vikings (49ers have been playing good, but Vikes will take it)
Washington at Detroit : Detroit (hey they gotta win sometime)
Atlanta at New England : Pats (this one was a tough call, but gotta go with home field )
New Orleans at Buffalo : Saints
Chicago at Seattle : Bears
Miami at San Diego : Bolts (tough one, but I think Rivers pulls it out)
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati : Steelers
Denver at Oakland : Stickin with my Broncos
Indianapolis at Arizona : Cards (Indy is unhealthy)
