NFL weekly picks overall standings

[Lone Sailor]

I'm all in for the money idea next year!

Kenny_stang is whooping everyones ass.....

Lone Sailor is the most consistent loser of the bunch!

I know I've picked the Saints & Denver every time this year and it's done me terribly wrong. 12 losses so far.

LMGDAO!!! Asshole!


I'll admit, in the beginning and middle of the season I was betting more for the teams that I wanted to see win than the team that was favored, were playing lights out, etc. It's a downfall of mine when there are no risk on the line. I'm sure glad that I don't carry that over to my "real world" betting though.

I'll give you some props though, man, I had you pegged all wrong. You have put a fare amount of time into this whole deal and even though you don't get jack squat out of any of this except for a good razzing by all of us, you've done pretty well, IMO.

Oh, and not having ANY weeks in orange means you've done exceptionally well, right? Lmao!

Whole Playoff Picture the way in see it. my opinion

AFC
North - Steelers they have been solid most of the year
South - Jaguars they arent a great team, but finds ways to win
East - Patriots - Might be the best team in the AFC
West - Chiefs - 2 game lead over SD, if they win this weekend its all over
Wildcard - Jets - hard to catch the patriots
Wildcard - Ravens 2 game lead in wildcard spot

colts are 2 games back, i dont see them making it.
chargers aren't consistent, they play good or bad
raiders are in the same boat with SD

NFC
North - Bears defense wins, also culter is getting comfortable in martz system
South - Falcons if they beat the saints it theirs
East - Eagles they are more consistent than the Giants
West -Rams - 8-8 is the goal, beating seattle in week 17 is the key
Wildcard - Saints if they beat falcons then they have the division
Wildcard - Giants they are going to have smith and hicks back soon.

Packers are too injured in my mind
Buccaneers are a good story, but dont have experience to win these games at this time of the year.

I can promise you we will see what that Bears defense REALLY has in the next 4 weeks. Their final 4 games are going to be the toughest of their season. Patriots, Vikings, Jets, Packers. I see them taking 2 of 4 at most(Jets & Vikings), and neither win will come against the Packers. Keep in mind they nearly lost to a 2-9 Detroit Lions team. As far as Cutler getting more comfortable with Mike Martz's system I don't totally buy that. Check their past 4 games and tell me how much more they've run the ball(not Mike Martz's system) and also tell me how successful they've been in those past 4 games(All wins). They're over 100 yards rushing combined in each of their last 4 games and that is a big reason for their offense getting better looks down field and overall being more effective scoring points, IMHO.

As far as the Packers having too many injuries I don't believe the few injuries they still have will hurt them in the least. They've played all season without Grant, and even with Finley out for the rest of the year Greg Jennings has been playing lights out along with sidekick Donald Driver on the other side. The secondary has played awesome all year without Bigby and Harris(injuries). Sam Shields(rookie) and Tramon Williams are playing outstanding as fill in starters at CB, then add in veteran Charles Woodson and 1st year starter Charlie Peprah at safties. Can't forget about Clay Matthews and Frank Zombo at outside LB. Packers are as healthy as they're going to be for the final 4 games of the regular season and shouldn't have any setbacks from those already playing barring an injury.

i agree with that, and im not counting the packers out, but your right about the bears. their next few games will decide their fate and see how good this team really is

[mstng86]

whoo hoo! kickin' ass and taking names!

Funny to see how the rankings improve with the weeks, the first few weeks is a crap shoot, you're lucky if you go .500

Damn, a 6 game lead is going to be hard to overtake.

its only 4 now

Well we're down to Week 15 already... This year has gone by fast and it's been a crazy one.

I'd say in the AFC the best right now in this order are Patriots, Ravens and for the NFC it would have to be Atlanta, Saints.

Worst teams by far Carolina, Denver & Buffalo.


Edit: I'll update the thread once both games are played tonight.

as far as worse teams go, I think the Bengals should be on there and not Buffalo. Buffalo isnt that good cause they dont have talent. Bengals arent good cause they are overrated

Shitty week.

[papapepper]

I need a miracle to win this thing..... Philsanity07 is catching up to you Kenny_stang. Likewise though mstng86 is catching the both of you. Only 3 weeks left.
