For the owners, the Super Bowl can’t get here quick enough to end the season.
ViQueens - Numero Uno!!!!!!! (I can dream, Can’t I?)
2 Gimps and a journeyman QBing?
What could possibly derail them?
Super Bowl or Bust, Baby!!!
Its your right to support whomever you wish, but it is our right on FR to comment negatively on your supporting the KKK, the mafia, the NFL, or any other anti-American institution.
Antifarians
Chiefs stop their skid at 1 and put the hurt on Oaktown
Olde Chi Cardinals keep it rolling in Merry Olde England
Vikings swords send feathers flying
My Bearlies aren't playing the AFC, so they lose
I don't feel confident but Jags over Colts
Green Bay rallies and takes care of the Ain'ts
Jets sweep Suckler
Winston is banged up so the Bills win
Big Brown gets it's first win
Rested Cowboys wrangle the 69ers
Kneelers over Bengals
Boltz keep the good times rolling
Giants win streak ends at 1, seahags
Pats all the way
Eagles scalp the Deadskins
So here are my picks so that others may be warned:
Man, last week was rough. Here are my picks for Sun/Mon. I wouldn’t be surprised if I do worse this week...
Arizona [X] at L.A. Rams
Baltimore at Minnesota [X]
Carolina at Chicago [X] - Going for the upset
Jacksonville [X] at Indianapolis
New Orleans [X] at Green Bay - Looking tough for GB without Aaron Rodgers
N.Y. Jets [X] at Miami
Tampa Bay at Buffalo [X]
Tennessee [X] at Cleveland - Another week, another starting QB. When will the Browns sign the goofball QB that started the whole NFL mess? /jk
Dallas [X] at San Francisco - SF deserves never to win another game for giving the NFL Colin cancer.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh [X] - Question: what is the over/under for concussions/ejections in this game?
Denver [X] at L.A. Chargers - After getting embarrassed by NYG, I’m looking for Denver to take it out on the Bolts
Seattle at N.Y. Giants [X] - Going for the upset
Atlanta [X] at New England - ATL in the SB LI rematch
Washington [X] at Philadelphia - Going for the upset

Kansas City at Oakland 8:25 pm CBS Oakland Coliseum The Chiefs are 17 - 3 against all teams but the Steelers the last two years, while 0 - 3 against the Steelers. Well, they're not playing the Steelers this week, and honestly who the heck knows what's going on with the Raiders? Losses to the Deadskins, Ravens, and Chargers. For a team that came into the season with huge expectations. KC rebounds after last week's loss. Chiefs.

Arizona at L.A. Rams 1:00 pm FOX Twickenham Stadium Was ready to write off the Cardinals before last week, but they rebounded. As for the Rams, do you know they lead the league - the entire league - in scoring so far?! Shocking. So i look for the LAR trend to continue and though the Cards will make it a game, Rams win.
Baltimore at Minnesota 1:00 pm CBS U.S. Bank Stadium So disgusted with the Nevermores. Last week, in a game in which they had no business in being close (one TD, by the special teams, through fifty-nine minutes), they still had a late chance to win yet could not manage one single solitary first down in OT. S what now? In this topsy-turvy, up-is-down-down-is-up season, the Nevermores somehow and improbably win in Minn. Ravens.
Carolina at Chicago 1:00 pm FOX Soldier Field Hiccup by the Panthers against the Iggles last week. Chicago and Trubisky got a win against Baltimore. Well, the Panthers D is better than Baltimore's, and Newton and Company a bit stronger on O. Panthers.
Jacksonville at Indianapolis 1:00 pm CBS Lucas Oil StadiumSome big wins by Jax so far. And the Colts are in such turmoil and still no Luck this week , or maybe even this season....I think this is a first - I'm picking Jacksonville! Jaguars.
New Orleans at Green Bay 1:00 FOX Lambeau Field Anyone here who thought the Saints would put up fifty-two on the Lions last week (even if 21 were scored by the defense)? So now they get the Packers. They get the Packers but they don't get Aaron Rodgers. That's a difference maker. Saints.
N.Y. Jets at Miami 1:00 pm FOX Hard Rock Stadium Did the Jets get jobbed out of a TD by the refs last week? Yeah, probably. Would they have won the game? Who knows. If anyone can figure out the Dolphins let me know: shut out by the Saints, then come from 17 down to beat the Falcons. I took the Jags earlier, here's another first I think: Jets.
Tampa Bay at Buffalo 1:00 pm FOX New Era Field Gawd. two more Jekyll-and-Hyde teams. Buffalo at home though..... Bills.
Tennessee at Cleveland 1:00 pm CBS FirstEnergy Stadium Tennessee got over a hump of sorts by beating Indianapolis on Monday. I don't think they'll fall back against Cleveland. Titans.
Dallas at San Francisco 4:05 pm FOX Levi's Stadium Cowboys need this one badly. The Niners are not as bad as their record; they've been very close in almost all their games. But Dallas needs this one more... Cowboys.
Cincinnati at Pittsburgh 4:25 pm CBS Heinz Field Two weeks ago Big Ben throws five picks; then he leads his team to an upset of KC in KC. Maybe the Steelers have righted the ship. I think they have enough to win against a division rival at home. Steelers.
Denver at L.A. Chargers 4:25 pm CBS StubHub Center What the heck happened to the Broncos Sunday night?! Meanwhile the Bolts have a two-game winning streak going, and if they had had a kicker from the start of the season would be in contention for the division lead. Improbably, I like San Di.... Oops! LA. Chargers.
Seattle at N.Y. Giants 4:25 pm CBS MetLife Stadium Was in NY two weeks ago, and after their fifth loss the mood of the NY media concerning the G-Men was... funereal. So what happens? They go into Denver, with WRs practically recruited from the street, and somehow beat the Broncos. Dont think much of Seattle, but ..... Ah, just leave it to the Giants to pull this one off too. Giants.
Atlanta at New England 8:30 pm NBC Gillette Stadium Falcons have laid two eggs in a row. At home. Now they get to replay the Super Bowl. Patriots have shown no defense to date so this could devolve into a real shootout. Patriots.
Monday, Oct 23, 2017
Washington at Philadelphia 8:30 pm ESPN Lincoln Financial Field Eagles are emerging as a contender in the NFC. That emergence continues Monday night. Eagles.
Zzzzz
Buffalo ribs?
That should be 'chicken wings'.
Actually spent part of a evening many years ago at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo where all of the 'Buffalo Chicken Wings' thing started.
Your incoherent ramblings are hard enough to follow, try to get your facts straight.
Oh, oh.
Looks like another one of THEM weeks, already.
Let me get this straight-- You are fact checking... my saying "The Bucking Ears will feast on Buffalo Ribs--" on a humor themed NFL pick'em thread?
Gadzooks and General Jackson, Blu-- Get... a life.
And, BTW, here is a coherent rambling for ya: Kiss my shiny... metal ass!
You can say that again, Clet... Look how many times them Okla Bad Boys got a chance to win at the finish?
Still, my Old Dallas Texans should have won the game... but their defense just did not get the job done on that last drive--
Sorry, bad joke. 🤢
