Yea how am I supposed to bet against spreads this week when I can't even decide on a straight up winner?! Philly scares me a little. The D is banged up, the Freak is out and the corners have been decimated. They're taking guys off the street to start at CB. Could be big fun for Antonio Bryant this week. Add injuries to a road team travelling cross country, and I'm staying away. Good luck though!Tough, tough week to predict. This pool is going to thin out come Monday.
FYI, everyone loves Miami, but I don't. I think they'll win, but it could be close. Culpepper has another game like the first two and a lot of folks are going to be out of this pool.
Week 1: New England
Week 2: Baltimore
For this week, I'll go ahead and pick against two of my cardinal rules, picking both a road team and one that has to travel a long distance:
Week 3: Philadelphia
The Eagles looking really solid and I think after completely choking last week, they are going to come out focused and will tear up the Niners.
Yeah. i could absolutely be one of the folks eliminated this week. I think anyone in a survivor pool needs to clutch their lucky rabbit's foot tight this weekend.Yea how am I supposed to bet against spreads this week when I can't even decide on a straight up winner?!

How many others have already mapped out their picks for the entire 17 weeks? Granted, this thing will not go 17 weeks, it's still a useful exercise to look several weeks down the road at matchups when deciding this week's matchup.I love seeing a lot of picks that look similar to this only 3 weeks into the season. Sure, these picks will get you to Week 4 --- but in the Championship weeks when your best bets are Dallas vs. Carolina (Week 8), Kansas City vs. St. Louis (Week 9), and San Diego at Cincinnatti (Week 10) --- I'll be taking Baltimore over New Orleans (Week 8), Jacksonville over Tennessee (Week 9), and Seattle over Oakland (Week 10) for the win.Week 1: New England
Week 2: Indianapolis
Week3: Baltimore
True. And I agree with that. But even Vegas thinks that Baltimore is a riskier pick this week than Miami. By a long shot, too.I'd already picked BAL in week 2, but IMHO it's better to be in week 8 and taking a guess with St.Louis (for example) than dying in week 3 with something more risky.
Oh okay, I understand what you mean. In my case, sure I'm looking one or two weeks forward before taking my pick, but I don't planning so far away...Edit: typoTrue. And I agree with that.
