2009 Yahoo - Pro Football Pickem - Contest - Prizes

I actually have a lot more underdog picks this week. I figure being ranked 8th, and being so early in the season, it's worth the risk to pick opposite the majority on some that may be close...

INJURY ALERT!
I just heard something about Randy Moss being "iffy" because of a back problem and Wes Welker being a game time decision. Still hard to pick against Brady.

I've also gone with Tenn over the Jets.... although I have the right to CHANGE that before game time! LOL.

I picked ATL a few days ago anyways, bur I heard that as well. I think the Falcons have a very prolific offense, and they also have an excellent pass rush. Welker is too much of a factor, and when you throw Moss out too, it seems to lean favorably for the Falcons.

As for Ten vs NYJ, I took the Jets. It's kind of a toss up for me, I know the Titans are bound to break out at some point, but the Jets D hasn't allowed a TD all season.

I also took Den over Oak, but that is also a relative toss up due to the Raiders big play ability.

I've got Indy over the Cards, but I was very close to going the other way at the last second. I hope I'm right, but it's a tough call.

An upset that I see possibly happening is Buffalo over NO, but NO could just as easily blow them out. I'm also watching the Det vs Was game, because Was hasn't done a thing all year on offense, and Det can make big plays at times.

I think the Ravens are going to be arrested after they're done with Cleveland, so that should be a 3-0 start to the BEST TEAM in the NFL :)!

Great week! Good luck to all, and may your teams win.

It was a close call for me too. It wouldn't be the upset you would imagine from a team that's lost around 20 games in a row, because I think their shot at winning is fairly legit.
 
Just checked the group picks. I'm really surprised there was only one person who picked the Jags, that was kind of a tough pick for me. Same with Dallas, who everyone picked, I would think someone would take Carolina.

I'm happy to see everyone chose Baltimore though, that's a guar-own-teed W right thurr.

I had Carolina as a tentative pick...but I switched to Dallas the next day.
 
Alright, I don't regret picking ATL just yet, but NE is playing well on both sides of the ball. Aside from picking ATL, it's nice to see Fred Taylor get going, he could prove to be a very valuable asset to New England if he keeps running the ball this well.

I was going to take my Panthers but the went 0-2 on me and I wanted them to win so I didn't pick them. They should win NOW that I DIDN'T pick them!

I can see why everyone picked Dallas, I guess I'm just surprised that everyone did. Carolina isn't bad, and if Delhome can have even a mediocre season, then they have a chance to win quite a few games. It's so shocking that he was signed to such a lucrative deal after last years playoffs, when he played as bad as any QB I've ever seen in the playoffs. People might disagree here, but Carolina should have either gone after Vick, or they should try to trade for Vince Young.
 
DET's up 7-0! I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they won, and Was is playing too close to garbage this season for a team that spend around $200 in the off season for free agents and rookies.

I don't care who I picked for this match up, GO LIONS!!!

I have been preaching for 3 years we need a good reliable QB!!! Thanks for noticing!!!
 
Another week and so far another tail whooping for me. I was praying for the 49ers to pull it off. Oh well it's a long season and I can see where it can be made up some.

I have a question though: When is the tiebreakers used? I haven't seen that part of the pickem used.
