2009 Yahoo - Pro Football Pickem - Contest - Prizes

Those are three of the games giving me problems!

I have flip flopped on the Dallas game several times. I still don't know if I think they will win or just want them to win! :p
Minn @ Pitt and Ari @ NYG were the two hardest. I feel Atlanta had to be my pick, but anything can happen. I also thought that Chi @ Cin was a tough call, as well as SF @ Hou.

Good luck everyone!!!
 
so this is the first week I made my picks on pure instinct, and made NO changes after I made my initial picks. We'll see how I do.
 
Not for long it's Farve 4th quarter time winding down time!!!!

oh well he was going til then.....who would have thought peterson would miss the catch and pitt would intercept it.
 
Personally, I thought that Pittsburgh had this game in the bag, but not necessarily because I feel they're better. I just think they had the advantage based on being at home, and having Polomalu back.
I must say though, that the Vikings may not have won, but they look even scarier than I previously thought. Favre deserves a lot of credit for his exceptional play, and those WR's are really impressive. I knew that Sidney Rice would end up being a great WR once he got a good QB, and now he finally is. I feel he is a lot like Fitzgerald, at his size he is fairly fast, and he comes up with some nice catches. Harvin is being used much like Reggie Bush should be, and he is a game breaker on offense and special teams.
All in all, the Steelers D won that game, as I presumed they would. However, I feel that the Vikings are still looking like one of the best teams in the NFL.
 
New York (NYJ) vs @Oakland Q2 6:13, NYJ 14 - Oak 0 -
@Carolina vs Buffalo Q2 5:55, Buf 7 - Car 2 -
@Cincinnati vs Chicago Q2 9:05, Chi 0 - Cin 21 -
@Dallas vs Atlanta Q2 8:54, Atl 7 - Dal 3 -
New Orleans vs @Miami Q2 11:21, NO 3 - Mia 17 -

Shaping up for me to lose 3 of these 5 games right now!!!!! Man this is hard to pick the teams. One week some are really strong and the next it's like their asleep.

Yeah, me too!!! One good thing... EVERYONE picked NO to win... so the game is a non-factor in our group. Only a picked Buffalo, so its impact will be minimal...

Chicago @ Cincy... BIG game.
And it looks BAAADDDD for me.....

On the other hand - HERE COMES NO!!!

i don't get it.. Heather, how are you ahead of me in the standings? i actually picked right a few times where you didn't, yet it still shows you as leading me.



Just thought of something.... could it be that the points have not been updated yet?
 
Man! I'm really hating this game. I PICKED the Giants to win... but I'm really rooting for the Cards... and the Cards seem almost willing to give it away.

Just noticed an "absence" the last couple weeks...

Gee, am I a "thread killer"? :shrugs:

I feel your pain. I picked the Vikings last week, and it was the first time I picked against the Ravens so far. I was still rooting for the Ravens, but I couldn't stomach going 0-3 based on loyalty. This way I figured it was a win/win... Vikings win... Yay, I get a W in the pick'em league... Ravens win... Yay, my Ravens won.

I picked the cards this week, and I think there weren't many who did. I just figured the Cards had a great chance to pass against the Giants weak and injured pass D, especially after what NO did to them. I also thought that they had a great chance defensively, seeing they were #1 against the run going into this game, and the Giants are primarily a rushing team.

Great game though, and best of luck next week!
 
Yeah... I feel like a BIG time traitor to the Cards, right now. LOL. My wife can't believe I picked against them! Well, serves me right (in a sense). I didn't know that they led the league against the rush... that might have made me leave the pick alone (I had the cards picked until last night). MORE RESEARCH next time!

Looks like tomorrow's game won't change the rankings much... only Bethany picked the Redskins to win... Would be great if they did... still can't STAND Philly. LOL.

Anyway... great game. Glad the Cards won. A great big YIPPPPEEEEE.... ugh... from me!!!!
 
this is officially my worst week yet, I think I'm toast.
Don't give up yet, Heather! Just as one can have a bad week, it is also possible to have an AWESOME week... or even a GOOD week compounded with everyone else having a HORRIBLE week. LOL. It is also possible to string together a few Very Good weeks and then find yourself in a much better position. We're not halfway through, yet... so anything can happen (well, don't MISS two weeks and still expect to compete - LOL).
 
Man what a crappy week I had. I wish we could start the season over! I was on a streak of good picks and now I am spiraling down 2 straight weeks.

Oh well I guess there's always next week and the 9 more than follow that one!!! LMAO
