Jax = Pitt (will go to OT)
Redskins > Seahawks (12th man is great but you need 11 first)
SD > Tennessee (Tenn is banged up and lucky to be here)
NYG > Tampa (just look at Tampa's schedule, they're a joke. this game is pointless anyways because GB is waiting and will not lose their first game)

I disagree with every one of those picks
Jax>Pitt in a running game. Big Ben is going to throw it all over that defense and Pitt's D will not be slowed up by as bad of a field or as poor of weather as last time. Remember, that game was close in the end, Jax had trouble putting Pitt away.
Sea>Wash. Redskins aren't nearly as good as everyone thinks, including your biased-ass. They beat a mediocre unexperienced Minny team on MNF and then they get to play a DAL team who obv could have given 2 shits about being there.
SD is not a good playoff team and Turner is nowhere near the coach Fisher is. If VY is healthy we all know he loves the big stage, weapons at WR or not.
TB>NYG because the Giants banged themselves up last week at home playing the best football they could possibly play and still lost PLUS they may have lost a few key pieces in the process. TB is rested and has a coach who is more accustomed to winning in the playoffs, plus Garcia is back and gives the Giants fits.

Jax looks better than Pitt, but it should be a good game and could go either way. Willie Parker being out will be a big deal I think.
I agree SD should take Tennessee.
NYG vs TB? I could care less. Neither team will win next week.
Now, to the only one that REALLY counts, Seahawks vs 'skins.
I don't think anything the skins do here matters, the Hawks will either win it or lose it on their own. They are completely on or off this season. Luckily for us, we tend to be off only in games that don't seem to matter (N.O, Carolina, Atl), so I think they'll have their heads on today and win.
GO HAWKS!

agree with both of these. Jax/Pitt game should be a good one to watch. 2nd game i could give two shits about.

talk about biased. lol. Tennessee had a hard time beating the colts 2nd and 3rd string. SD will roll in this one, especially since VY's leg is questionable.

meh, could care less again and its probably a toss up. If Eli plays well then the giants will win.

The Jax vs Pitt game will be awesome, and I agree that willie being out is going to hurt the steelers alot. When the steelers ahve their running game setup theres no stopping them, so davenports gotta make some good runs to open up holmes for rothes.
Redskins are running on heart and portis, and although they are definately not as good as seattle their win over dallas just added to that heart. (sidenote: agreed dallas gave two fucks about that game though, dallas = 10000x better than redskins)
SD over TEN for shizz
Giants are good to go over buccs
And to make it even ill let it be known that Im a huge steelers fan, majorly biased

He also is fighting for his job. Last season the Glazers essentially said that he had one more chance and he better go deep into the playoffs. If the Buccaneers lose, the chances of Gruden being the coach next year are grim at best.

Willie Parker is not the biggest loss to the team. When our LDE Aaron Smith went out, we were screwed. Him + Casey Hampton = the best run defense for the past eternity. Without either one of them, the defense falls apart. They're our biggest little secret.
|

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

Hope youre pics are right spenda, except for titans, either way it'll be mad (relativley) $$ for me.
So Shaund Alexander hasn't fumbled at all this season!?!?! That's amazing until you realize he spent the whole time running into the line and falling over. Anyway go Seattle!!

Spenda is wrong. Our o-line sucks and is getting worse. And Jacksonville has had our number for years. Basically every Steelers fan I know is reserved to the fact that we're going to get slaughtered.

O-line doesn't matter, Big Ben is great at avoiding the rush and you have quick play-making receivers who will give that secondary fits.
Your defense has a lot of pride and won't enjoy/want to relive what happened a month ago.

When I say O-line doesn't matter I'm not looking to get flamed either, I'm saying in this case/situation having a great offensive-line is not as big of an issue as it could be.

So Phillip Rivers arm looks super weak. He under threw ever deep ball.
I like the way this works out. I would rather see NE play Jax than Ten
