vegasflyer's challenge picks

Hi vegasflyer56, I like your picks except one...I would take TEN.GL to you.

I have to have them in by 9:00 am on Saturday., so they are in already. I know Tennessee will be hard-pressed to get a win here, but Manning just looks un-stoppable, and Tennessee is terrible against the pass.
The schedule doesn't get any easier before their bye week with New England on deck.
I think they have some major problems on defense, and I am not too sure Collin's can keep up with Manning in this spot. Tennessee never had a total at 45 last year, and if you throw out the Houston game, they are averaging 14.6 ppg. Even with the Houston game, they average 18.75. That leaves an extra 26-30 points to be scored by the opponent. It is hard to imagine that Tennesse could go 0-5 to start the season, but it looks inevitable.
The Colts are 10-0 ATS since November 2002 on the road during the regular season when their opponent's season-to-date average rushing attempts per game is fewer than 25.
Thanks, frogster, I know any given Sunday...gl Mike

Tough start VF, hang in there!

I must have broke a mirror somewhere. Looks like an 0-5 the way this is going. I worked 18 hours on Tuesday, adjusting some power ratings, and thought I had all the kinks out. They went 6-2 in the first half, and what two game do I pick, Carolina and Buffalo. Last year the 2nd half of games was strong, but it has been choppy this year.

You know this season has been so very frustrating...I spend hours and hours each week breaking down games using software and watching shows...i know these teams inside and out...what kills me the most is that my Wife is 13-4 on the season in NFL and 19 and 8 on college games...she picks teams by nothing more than a guess and which team sounds tougher...Sad part is ive bet her picks today liking none of them and am 4-0

I hear you, my wife hit 9 out of 10 last week and won 100.00 from the Eastside Cannery. It is tough this year. Rule changes, two that really leave the call up to the official are the Brady rule and that forward motion rule. These two rules will affect the outcome of future games guarunteed. I wish they would list these officials like they do in baseball. They are a very suspect group that the NFL will not disclose their schedule, and other than not officiating the Super Bowl or playoffs, they have no accountibility. There is a lot of money changing hands, and the fact that somethings can't be reviewed leaves alot of responsibility on the official making the call. I watched several games today, and the calls are not consistant. It looks like what ever crew you have calls it one way and the other calls another. Just look at the coaches faces when one of these calls are made.lol

Shows you what I know...TEN a big time loss.
