Scores Ending Week 8:
Leno: 7-6
Gil: 8-5
Me: 9-4

Combined Scores Ending Week 8:
Mate: 19-13 (DNP weeks 3-8)
Gil: 57-46 (DNP week 5)
Leno: 73-43
Me: 75-41

Scores Going Into SNF Week 9:
Leno: 6-6
Gil: 8-4
Me: 8-4

Current differences left - I picked the Ravens, Leno picked the Bears

Some notes:
Early games (both of them) - Snoozefests. Jets @ Bills was boring in that the Bills are like the teams of old. Bucs @ Saints wasn't as good as it should have been (as a divisional game).
I have nothing positive to say about the Pats game. It does remind me of that SB if you were wondering.
Ravens @ Steelers game so far is interesting.

Cowboys - There is something really wrong if you can't beat the Seahawks.

Quote
Browns @ Texans

Texans - Unappealing matchup.

Quote
49'ers @ Redskins

49ers - There is only on caveat on the timing of the game....

Quote
Bengals @ Titans

Bengals - I am weary of this pick, given the matchup.

Quote
Broncos @ Raiders (division)

Raiders - I'm not sure which is the bigger disaster... Tebow, or Palmer.

Oh, if you mean the Rangers... I was actually hoping they win. Unfortunately... they had two great chances blown and one scared shitless outfielder. Sorry JCE.

Cruz was rattled for sure, especially having one hell of an ALCS.  Oh well, at least we made it there.  We'll get there again eventually, I hope...

You have a shot, given the pitching. The problem is that you don't have an ace... you lost Lee last offseason. CJ Wilson is the next free agent, and he's not a true ace even if you re-sign him. Still.. you can't have an outfielder that has no balls to go catch the ball near/at the wall to the best to his ability.

Week 8 schedule:

Woot? Lots of potentially bad games on tap today.

Quote
Cardinals @ Ravens

Ravens - How did the Ravens lose to the Jags? Hell, why does Flacco suck?

Quote
Vikings @ Panthers

Panthers - Rumors of McNabb becoming "the cancer" are starting to circulate.

Quote
Jaguars @ Texans (division)

Texans - Sometimes one wonders about the Jags...

Quote
Dolphins @ Giants

Giants - One would swear that the fish are tanking.

Quote
Saints @ Rams

Saints - If this game is anything like last week's SNF, please skip to the score on the highlights please.

Quote
Colts @ Titans (division)

Titans - Here's team #2 for "SUCK FOR LUCK"... the Colts.

Quote
Lions @ Broncos

Lions - This is a big test for the Lions to grow as a team... I'm just not a big fan of the Tebow experience.

Quote
Redskins @ Bills

Bills - It might be interesting, but it's more like meh. Redskins are still strangely bad.

Quote
Bengals @ Seahawks

Bengals - I get the feeling the Bungles will screw this pick up... but the Seahawks have really sucked.

Quote
Browns @ 49'ers

49ers - Feels like some sort of trap game.

Quote
Patriots @ Steelers

Pats - Hopefully it'll entertain someone.

Quote
Cowboys @ Eagles (division)

Eagles - I simply like the Eagles record after a bye week. Although, I could also see the Cowboys destroying Vick.

Quote
Chargers @ Chiefs (division, Monday)

Chargers - Despite the failure to run the 2 minute drill, the Chargers are still a better team than the Chiefs. Seriously though, how does one fuck that up after the bye?

Scores going into Week 7 SNF:

Leno: 58-32
Me: 59-31

I thought the Packers @ Vikings game was interesting, at times. Ponder was at least competitive.
I saw the Falcons @ Lions game... it was very interesting. This Lions slide starts on the defense... primarily on its run d.
The Chargers @ Jets game didn't disappoint other than the outcome. Clearly, the Chargers know nothing about "a sense of urgency".

Also, lol @ that Tebow time... the fish certainly helped out on the suckage.

I sincerely hope my mind is not on the bye! :P

Chargers - This should be a close game... you would think.

Quote
Bears @ Buccaneers

Bears - Cheers! Game is played in London, so go figure... don't be a muppet!

Quote
Redskins @ Panthers

Panthers - Change @ QB for the Redskins doesn't help the cause.

Seahawks - Ugh at this matchup.

Quote
Broncos @ Dolphins

Broncos - It's Tebow time! It's also hilarious that the Florida Gators be honored here...

Quote
Texans @ Titans (division)

Titans - Texans are reeling...

Quote
Chiefs @ Raiders (division)

Raiders - This is the only one that I was initially leaning towards the Chiefs because of the QB situation, but I don't think the Chiefs are that great.

Quote
Steelers @ Cardinals

Steelers - This might be a closer game given the situation. I don't think the Cards are that good, despite the bye.

Quote
Packers @ Vikings (division)

Packers - Just pray Ponder doesn't get embarrassed.

Quote
Rams @ Cowboys

Cowboys - It doesn't help that Sam Bradford isn't playing.

Sounds good... although I get the feeling it could be slightly better. I don't know what exactly but it might be the semi-clashing of instruments used?

I'm not sure exactly how these matchups are dealt at the beginning of the season. I believe NBC gets the best deal out of it in some sense, since MNF (and TNF) is set in stone and is unchangeable. Also, NBC has to fight against FOX or CBS for key matchups during the flex scheduling, that starts after Thanksgiving or so (Week 10 and later). FOX and CBS get to block a number of games from NBC (although that number averages to 1 game per week during flex scheduling)...

This game was probably selected because it is a division game, but given that the Vikings weren't going to be good (w/o much guessing) that was a mistake.

Remember this rule: All teams are subjected to at most 6 prime time games on SNF+MNF. This does affect scheduling and flexing.

Also, Week 17 is automatically rigged by the NFL schedule-wise due to relevance and playoff implications. SNF needs to determine a playoff winner or seeding.

After watching the SNF game, you can tell that a team has no respect for your QB when 8 or more people are in the box. I could have sworn that all 11 players were in the box at one time (although, I think it was 8 or 9 of them consistently).

Although Ponder did nothing, it was a lot more refreshing to see something better than McNabb. Hell, it would've been nice to see more Joe Webb, but it seems like he's the designated Wildcat QB.

I was very amused by the games today... Bills @ Giants was fun... certainly I could say lots about Cowboys @ Pats game... but meh. I wish I could've seen more of the 49ers @ Lions game, but I was forwarded to the Pats game. I may say a little more later.

Scores going into Week 6 SNF:
Leno: 6-5 (you forgot to pick the Browns @ Ravens game, so I'm counting it as a loss)
Gil: 6-5
Me: 6-5

Everyone has picked DA BEARS and I am the only crazy that thinks the fish will squish the Jets.

Week 6 schedule:

Almost time for the Pats bye week. I hope my mind doesn't go on the bye as well.  :tongue:

Quote
49'ers @ Lions

Lions - This is a game that most of us can't watch but was an unlikely interest matchup in the first place.

Quote
Rams @ Packers

Packers - Not even the bye week will solve the woes of the Rams.

Quote
Panthers @ Falcons (division)

Falcons - This game will be closer than it should be... given the state of both teams.

Quote
Colts @ Bengals

Bengals - Is it simply just possible that the Colts tank this season?

Quote
Bills @ Giants

Bills - It's hard to figure out Eli sometimes... not that it every INT is his fault, but how does one lose to the Seahawks at home last week?

Quote
Jaguars @ Steelers

Steelers - There's a good chance that Del Rio will get fired at the end of the season.

Quote
Eagles @ Redskins (division)

Redskins - I'm not sure of the Redskins, but the Eagles have been playing like pure crap.

Quote
Texans @ Ravens

Ravens - Who are the Texans trying to kid?

Quote
Browns @ Raiders

Browns - I get the strange feeling of an upset... due to last week.

Quote
Cowboys @ Patriots

Cowboys - Reverse lock intentional.

Quote
Saints @ Buccaneers (division)

Bucs - The Saints defense isn't that good... plus this is a division game @ Bucs, so it's a tough call.

Quote
Vikings @ Bears (division)

Bears - I know the Bears have problems, but the Vikings have a lot more. Someone is going to be royally embarrassed on SNF, and it may just be McNabb.

Quote
Dolphins @ Jets (division, Monday)

Dolphins - I think this Jets slide will last a little longer. Fish are desperate and coming off a bye. However, Henne is on IR. The fish has always been known to give the Jets a tougher game than usual.

I honestly don't know what's wrong with the Bears defense. However, the same obvious issue plagues the offense of the Bears. Cutler may or may not suck, but that o-line is probably one of the worst in the league (false starts being a key indicator) in addition to possibly reckless playcalling (gotta add extra protection to the QB via extra blocking or chipping by the other players).

Lions are much better defensively... and finally Stafford is healthy. At the very least, they have a shot at the Wild Card, if not the division... Lions-Packers games are certainly worth watching now.

Scores Ending Week 5:
Mate: DNP
Gil: DNP
Leno: 9-4
Me: 7-6

Combined Scores Ending Week 5:
Mate: 19-13 (DNP weeks 3-5)
Gil: 36-28 (DNP week 5)
Leno: 50-27
Me: 52-25

 :edit:
FYI, I am somewhat struggling to pick the winner of the SNF game... and even when I do pick it, it may just be an ugly unwatchable game.
