upset special :D

What happened to the Jets? Looks like Sanchez isn't Jesus reincarnate as we were led to believe in the first three weeks. Also something to keep in mind for your Pick-Em': Remember the Raiders upset the Favre-led Jets last year in Oakland. I wouldn't be surprised if it happens again this week.

The upset part of that is if the Pats don't put up another 50 points.

This game is being played in London by the way so no home field advantage here.

Also on the Jets. I have for at least two week now in my picks comments been saying that I think they were not as good as many were saying. I will admit even I was fooled when they came out the gate winning thier first three games, one of which was against the Pats, but I stated to feel by Week 4 that much of thier success came from the "unknown factor" as teams weren't sure how to play them. Now they have tape and can study it and gameplan properly and that is starting show.

Always love to watch the London game.

Wonder if the plane ride will affecct Brady? :lol:

I think they will actually get 48. But if they break the 59 of last week, i will not even be a hint of surprised, Brady looked like in 2007 form and in the snow to top it off. (Don't give me that TEN rookie CB stuff, i know :P dont rain on my parade :D )

I still feel from what I saw that the most of Titans have given up on this season. I think the Bucs are pretty bad right now but they will at least try.

I will agree that yeah brady did look like 07' form but I think it hard to judge how the team really is off of it as that was such a lopsided game against a 0-5 team. This week won't be much better of test either I don;t think. For me I if anything I hope it builds a little confidence for them going into thier Bye week because after that they will have some of thier toughest games of the season at Indy and at the Saints. They also get a chance to get revenge on the Jets and hopefully show the Bills that thier week 1 game wasn't really how things are going to be and totally show Miami twho they haven't played yet, that last year was fluke.

Those games are one's I'm interested in. 49ers and Texans should be a surprisingly good matchup. Texans are 3-3 and just beat the Bengals but they're inconsistent and though they got blown out by the Falcons, the 49ers are a different team with Singletary, I want to see the Bengals after their Texans loss, Cards defence is improving, but it'll be hard to fight a Giants team off their first loss, I want to see if the Chargers can recover from their Broncos loss, what will happen in the Raiders/Jets game (I personally think that the Raiders can be a sleeper team if they didn't have Russell throwing and Heyward Bey out there).

The Saints have the talent to beat the Fins, but they just came off an emotional victory against the Giants, and they have a HUGE game coming up against the Falcons, so we'll see if they're 100% focused for this game. The Vikings are in the same situation off an emotional Ravens game and facing the Packers next week. I'd also like to know if the Eagles offence can recover against a team that has had their number in the past.

Agreed. Lots of interesting games this week. All the ones you highlighted but I think the Falcons/Cowboys game qualifies too though.

Could the Eagles actually lose to two embarrassing ran organizations in consecutive weeks?Ngamer05

After last week I would hardly call that game a sure win for them.

[QUOTE="Ngamer05"]Could the Eagles actually lose to two embarrassing ran organizations in consecutive weeks?Blazer88

This is what I think will happen: they will barely beat the Redskins, get blown out by the Giants, have everyone doubting them, and having Eagles fans ranting about McNabb's benching and Reids firing, but then they pull off a winning streak, lose to the Skins, but still finish off the season strong. They may pull off a first round upset, but that is as far as they'll go.

This is what happened last year, especially after the Bengals tie (which McNabb wasn't aware could happen, but this year he apparently thinks you can call 4 timeouts in one half) and his benching the next game, but they still fought hard for that last playoff spot, save for that random loss against the Skins. And it happened in 2006, except this time with Garcia.

Tom Cable not to prosecuted for punching am assistant in the face.

LA to build a stadium even thoguh they have no team to play in it. Apparently after this season superbowl some of the teams being approached to make the move there include the following....

"Buffalo Bills, Jacksonville Jaguars, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams, San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and San Francisco 49ers"

Lessons for the Titans to do during their bye:
Collins: Pass forward
Washington: Bring a reception forward.
Secondary: Actually cover, thats why your paid.
Defensive Line: Actually try
Entire Team: Never, ever, ever, show up to another game hammered out of your minds ever again. Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if half the team showed up to the game drunk.Goliath_unit

Jeff Fisher will, and wearing a Colts Jersey too.

Eagles need to bounce back. :|

Tough game for the Steelers. :?

F- you SF I swear wtf happen to shaun hill he look so poised last year

New england is raping TB.

Chargers up 20-0 at halftime.Goliath_unit

GB is up 21-3, Houston is up 21-0, and the Pats are up 21-7. Vikes/Steelers is the only game that looks competitive right now.

I guess the Chiefs are not going to win today.  Time to slip back into my depression of rooting for a horrible team.

Bucs are trying at least. I got to respect them for that.

Certainly better than what the Titans did (or didn't do) last week, yes. Tampa can't win this, but they haven't quit.

9ers have picked it up since switching QBs.wallymartin

When did Alex Smith learn to play?  It's turned into a game now.

Crazy few minutes in Pittsburgh, with a fumble returned for a TD (nice blocking BTW), and the ensuing kickoff returned for a TD.

Now that Bad Brett has reared his head, what will Vikings fans think?  An INT for a TD.  Steelers just sealed the win.

That pick was mostly on Taylor. That was not Bad Brett by any means. When Bad Brett rears his ugly head, it will be a lot worse.

That Vikings loss just made my day.

Are you serious? The Dolphins replay machine screws up when the Saints challenge and it was an incomplete pass. Turrible , just turrible.geaux321

It was Somewhat Bad Brett.  I think this is just a portent of what is to come for the Vikes.

Looks like Indy and Denver will be the only 2 undefeated teams left after this week.geaux321

I also want to **** Vernon Davis right now. I'm so glad I have him on my FF team. And Rivers, and Jackson, and Moss even though he kinda let me down this week.

Yeah shocked by the Mia-No games right.

Carolina got a safety again to have only 2 points so far. :lol:

and Cowboys finally take advantage of Atlanta turnovers, and Austin scores. :D

Man wtf is up with Saint O

Good lord Am I looking at box score right carson palmer 4 td's
