I went through Adler's picks and made my own assesments

I don't know, I have a pretty good record so far this season at picking the games.

The reason I pick the Titans over the Colts (even though they are imploding as you say) is because it is a perfect game for the Colts to lose. The Colts will not go undefeated, they will love at least 4 games this year. They always have had problems with the Titans. The Titans are looking for a moral victory and the Colts are just bound to lose a game soon.

I'd agree with you on the Vikes that it shouldn't be that close, but past history has shown that the Vikes play down to thier opponent level if not worse in games they should handily win. Hope this is not the case against the Rams, but I will not be suprised if it's a close hard fought game.

31-7 is not close. That is a beating...

You're right that is still a blowout, but with the Rams being so bad and the Vikes supposing to be so good they should manhandle them, but I have a sneaky suspicion, call it years of following the Vikings and seeing it happen over and over again, that it will be a very close game.

Well, well, well...

Michael Crabtree finally signed a 6 year deal with the 49ers today.

To me the Patriots are the Cowboys of the AFC...

I have mixed feelings about this. I'm afraid of him being another prima donna more interested in his own gain than being a team player, and bringing down the team. But Singletary might be the one coach who will keep this kid inline! Hope he is worth all the trouble!

New England Patriots 27-13 Denver Broncos Uhhh I'll take the Broncos until Brady learns to throw again.

Huh? He went 21 for 32 and averaged 8 yds per pass on Sunday.

even in the blow out season of 2007 that's what he averaged. In the 51-7 game against Washington he went 29-38 and only averaged 8yds a throw. Against the Jets (20-10) he went 14-27 with av. 8yds per throw--- with McDaniels coaching him.

Orton- just about the same per game stats as Brady this season- although that's a high for him. Last year he started the same with the Bears, but then kinda nose dived around week 10/11/12- around their bye week. That's not enough for me to give him the nod against the Pats.

The Denver press is billing this match up like it's the Super Bowl. McDaniels going up against Belichick who he spent 8 yrs coaching with in NE... Brady's QB coach....coached Cassel as the back up then as the starter....the Pats offense coordinator for a few yrs..... They're filling Denver fans with visions of the student surpassing the teacher... one radio station even did a conference call with Brady to ask him how he felt about going up against McDaniels.....

Brady is back. Welker is back. Their timing is back. Even Moss will get more yards this Sunday. (the Broncos will have figured out you can't double team Moss without leaving someone else who can catch open) and the new guys are coming along. (Green-ellis, C. Taylor...)

Pats over the Broncos.

It's gonna be close, but Brady will prevail this year.
(Plus it's going to snow on Sunday- so things should get interesting)

I agree with you completely. I have the same thoughts but I think that Singletary might be the guy to turn him into something, just look what he did with Vernon Davis. The guy was kicked off the field because of his attitude. Now he is having a breakout year.

Speaking of pass catchers, Jets made a good move in trading for Braylon Edwards. Legitimate deep threat for Sanchez. Hopefully he leaves his off field troubles behind him.

That will be the key. I hope for the Jets sake he does not turn out to be a TO.

Geaux Saints LSU. I was born and raised in Louisiana, so these are the teams I have grown up with. I have always enjoyed watching them play. More LSU than Saints, but love them both.

 

[Coors9]

My boys have a bye, Poor time since their playing so well. Here's hoping the Cowboys lose....

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I am switching between the Minnesota, Carolina and Dallas game.

Minnesota D looks real good tonight. Carolina is getting stuffed again. I really wish they would pull off a win.

As for Dallas, nice missed FG. I hope they lose. Cowboys suck, I can't stand them.

 

[GrauGeist]

Raiders/Giants game is a personal foul fest...these guys need to settle down a little bit...

 

[B-17engineer]

Yea, I just got back, Giants are kicking a**. I would love to see Jets/ Giants superbowl , doubt it'll happen.

What did I pick it to be? 31-7

6 minutes to go and it is 31-10...

 

[B-17engineer]

Oh my god! Amazing job by the Bengals! Down 14-10 with 30 seconds and they scored!!!! There up 17-14 now!!! Wow!

 

[B-17engineer]

Bills are idiots, they did 5 laterals and dropped it...... and lost the ball.....

 

[syscom3]

I watched the Vikes today ...... they looked terrible. The game was handed to them by the inept Rams!

 

[pbfoot]

not much arguement here. Tommorrow the Buffalo fans will eat their young on sports shows

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Niners are getting their ass's handed to them....

Niner's look terrible. They are causing to many penalties and turnovers...
