Yeah! How did you come up with that one? Were you thinking that the Lions were "due" a game? Were you just NOT being objective (being a Cowboy fan)? How did you pull this one out of your hat? LOL.Well as a Cowboy fan, I happily picked Detroit over Washington to save myself from the suffering!

Meh, more just "gut" than anything. The Redskins haven't looked very great, and sooner or later the Lions were going to get a win. The time seemed ripe for them to get a win, especially being at home.
I'm trying to be as objective as possible. Though I knew the Giants would beat the Cowboys, yet I still picked the Cowboys and probably will pick them every week, even if I think they'll lose. Stupid superstition or something i guess...

I picked the Lions based on the same things. Of course it could have gone the other way just as easily. It was a difficult pick and I definitely had my doubts.

That's what makes it so exciting!! As the saying goes "Any given Sunday...". I mean who thought the Bengals would be the Steelers?!?

Very true. I certainly didn't think so.
I pick the Steelers every week because I truely believe they will win every week. Not because they won the SB last year. I pick that way every year regardless of the previous season. The 80's was a tough time for me... with the exception of the game they won against the 49er's in what would have been their undefeated season.

I'm like that with the Ravens for the most part. I don't think the Ravens will go unbeaten, so I will inevitably have to pick against them at some point, but for now I'm riding high.

Okay, here comes week 4... Difficult picks???
Baltimore @ New England
Dallas @ Denver
Green Bay @ Minnesota
There are at least a couple more, but they're a little easier for me to swallow. LOL.

My only really tough pick this week is MIN vs GB? I'm not saying the rest were somehow easy picks, or even that I'll be right, but I'm at least comfortable in the rest of the picks.

Actually, I take that back. I think NYJ vs NO will be close, as well as SD vs PIT, but I think I'll still stick out my picks.

I had a hard time with GB vs Minn too...so I just picked who i want to win...Minnesota! That way I can still root for Minn while watching the game and not fear a yipugh...it will be straight yip, or ugh.

I'm thinking Baltimore. Their defense is iron clad, and the offense has really shown some new life this year with Flacco.
Well as a Dallas fan, I have them over Denver. This should be a good game. Denver is 3-0, but against suspect teams. This could be a way to prove they're legit. But if Dallas's defense can play as well as they did with Carolina, and if Romo doesn't turn it over, they should win.
This is the big question one for me. I've changed it a few times now. I'm still not convinced that Aaron Rogers is legit as a qb. And I'm not convinced about Farve's durability. Right now i have Minnesota, but not sure if I'll keep it.

Arron Rodgers is legit, but it's all about Adrian Peterson in this game. I'm picking this game in accordance to how well I think "All Day" will do. MIN won't win if Peterson doesn't play well, but he usually always performs and it's whether or not he'll light it up or not.
