Same here. Dallas.

 

[Lehigh98]

Same here. Dallas.

Was more sure of it before Dallas struggled so much against WAS and OAK beat CIN last week though.Just checking in to do a sanity check before I pull the trigger.

The woeful performance of the Cowboys the last two weeks makes me nervous on this one. May have to pull the trigger and use CIN, but I really don't want to.

You feel more comfortable with that game after CLE's offensive explosion and CIN's implosion last week?

 

[Raider Nation]

Dallas this week (home to Oakland)... Cincy next week (home to Detroit).

See y'all in two weeks. Hopefully.

Don't overthink it. Oakland isn't built to pull huge road upsets. Take the Pokes and root for Cleveland on Sunday!!!

 

[Itchy Amos]

I dont know about Dallas. They are really struggling offensively and have big time problems on their line. Oakland is playing with house money after their win. I was planning on taking San Diego at home vs. K.C. but I just dont trust SD. They are only 3-2 at home, while KC is 2-3 on the road. San Diego seems like a team that is prone to let-downs and KC is finding their stride.

I have Cinci, but really want to save them for next week.

I am really thinking about going with Atlanta. Here is a team that needs a win badly. They are 4-0 at home and host Tampa. Teams finally have enough game tape of Freeman to plan for him. Outside of thier recent loss at Carolina, they have only lost to N.O., N.E., Dallas and NYG. Thats quite a gauntlet. I wouldnt have expected them to be any better than 1-3 against those teams.

This is my plan as well.Dallas at home for the holiday game will be a cakewalk for the Cowboys. Oakland blew its wad at home against Cincy.

I do..because CIN will be back at home and while CLE exploded...they were playing Detroit.

 

[robb]

Why is there no love for San Diego (versus Kansas City)??

 

[gkza]

I still have the Eagles. I know most probably have used them, but would you all consider them an attractive selection for this week?

 

[NajehHejan]

My best options are San Diego, Cincinnati, and Atlanta, all at home, all playing "inferior" competition.

Rolling with SD this week and then hopefully Cincy next week, then regroup for the home stretch.

 

[a_troll00]

Most people are going with either Dallas or Cincy, but I've already used both. Still, Atlanta and the Philly are both available for me and they both SHOULD win...

 

[RedZone]

I have the Bengals available, but chose Philly over Washington. The running back situation in Cin is unsettled, despite Scott's return abilities and big play capability. Palmer (correct me if I am wrong) did not have a passing touchdown but ran in two. Will he have as good protection without Benson? (can't believe I am saying that). Cleveland was a scoring explosion (yes, against Detroit), but if you look at the stats, Quinn spread it around well, all four TDs to different targets. The Browns could upset and the Bengals could be upsetted. Washington, lost two RBs so far, Cooley and haven't shown heart. Philly is in the run for the playoffs and now that Westy is pretty much out, Weaver and McCoy are maturing as RBs. Last year's WR1 (Curtis) has been outshown by some explosive young WRs. Jackson, Maclin and Avant give McNabb plenty of targets.Home game for both. Really comes down to Philly being more consistent, Washington being more consistently bad, and both Cincy and Cleveland doing something last week that gave me reason to pause. As long as McNabb is healthy, and Cooley out, I pick Philly.

 

[cheese]

I'm using Cincy over Dallas mainly because I'm no longer excited about using the Bengals later. The Chiefs are playing better and just knocked off the Steelers. The Lions IMO are a better team right now than Cleveland. I'm done saving Cincy for those games, give me the Bengals.

Despite my previous post, I would probably use Atlanta over anyone if I had them available.

 

[RUSF18]

Anyone's pools expanding the number of picks in order to move on, due to a large amount of entries still in? This is my first week needing to choose two winners.

this is where I am going this week.

 

[Blackjacks]

I am going with Green Bay over Cinncy, Philly and SD this week. I don't see any way GB loses this game while they are in a hunt for a playoff spot and the best offensive weapons for Det. are going to be out.

No Stafford (replaced by C-Pepp) + No Calvin = Green Bay Packers victory

 

[Cheesedawg]

My pool does. Almost 1000 are still alive. My two picks this week are Dallas and Minny. I'm a bit worried about Dallas but I pretty much have to use them if I want to win it all eventually. Saving Cincy for the future. Already used SD and ATL.

 

[Raider Nation]

Dallas this week (home to Oakland)... Cincy next week (home to Detroit).

See y'all in two weeks. Hopefully.

Cowboys are in the clubhouse... I can exhale.If Cleveland can pull the upset of the century, HALF the people remaining in my pool will get bounced!

C'MON BROWNIES!!!

That away Green BayDon't have to worry about anything the rest of the weekendp.s. hoping for alot of upsets

Well, I certainly made that alot more difficult than it needed to be.

 

[zed2283]

Same here. Dallas.

Same b.s. every week... T.B. and Washington should have left us smart guys sitting pretty.
