[NeedfulKings]

damn you got this shit pre-printed ready to go? the game's only been over for like 5 minutes!

LOL, I try to keep up with things through the weekend. I'm getting pretty good at it! Oh, and I dropped a couple of names off the bottom of the list since they hadn't picked in a few weeks so you probably did move up.

wow did i ever take a beating this week. i went out on numerous limbs. without fail, they all snapped. oh well, plenty of games to go.

That's what's so damn hard--sometimes those limbs don't snap, so I tend to take risks too.

[jayson]

That's what's so damn hard--sometimes those limbs don't snap, so I tend to take risks too.

with this many people and the race always so tight, the only real way to ever create any distance is to take risks. perhaps i should spread them out over more weeks, but i thought i'd try to make an early move this season. oh well, twelve games x 32 teams left to recover.

so, as to that...

vikings
giants
steelers
ravens
bills
eagles
cowboys
redskins
falcons
broncos
texans
seahawks
colts
j-e-t-s

i'm really looking forward to that monday night game. monday night jets/dolphins history is full of classics. it will be fun to see a rex ryan defense take on the flavor of the month wildcat offense. miami looked useless against coach ryan's ravens last year in the playoffs. this jets defense should be able to shut them down. miami also has a pretty pourous defense at times so the jets should be able to jump on that.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

First few people seemed to have some confidence in the Broncos, then it dwindled away.

[NeedfulKings]

First few people seemed to have some confidence in the Broncos, then it dwindled away.

Broncs have given up 26 points in 4 games. That's sick!!! I am really on the fence with this game....I'll know my choice when I type it in.
