2012 NFL Weekly Pick'em

[balefired-ed2]

I am a Browns fan and am positive they will win this week. Why? A feller by the name of Joe Haden is back on the field. Browns 24-17.

 

By the way, 7 tackles, 3 PD, 1 int.

 

The Browns are a completely different defense with Haden on the field, Brandon Weeden has steadily improved through each game, the OL is rarely letting pressure get through, and all of our rooks are really starting to find their groove. Youngest team in the NFL.

 

Oh yeah, the Ravens and Steelers are really banged up.

 

We will not make the playoffs this year, the 0-5 start guaranteed that, but we are going to be winning a few games this year provided we stay healthy.

[Sagacious Lu]

I don't get to watch enough football to get in on this but The Giants are stomping Dallas and I couldn't be happier :)

You might want to retract this statement.

[balefired-ed2]

I never thought I would utter these words, but thank you Oakland! Five points baby!

[SinisterDeath]

So, I just got home, turned the channel to Fox to watch me some family guy. And I see whats been dubbed the 'miracle touch down'.

 

Its under review and I'm thinking.

"Just give it to the poor guy."

For a minute there I was afraid I jinxed them, but all's well that ends well :)

49ers

[Rufae]

Week 8 is in the books and was good to lots of people. Unfortunately, that doesn't include me or SinisterDeath. Those who picked the Giants added 5 points to their totals. Those include Ishmael Forsaken, Mr Soy Boyo, and Hax. Balefired-ed2 also added 5 points for picking the Raiders win over KC. Wombat snuck in under the wire and picked the 49ers in the Monday Night game and therefore added 3 points to his total.

[balefired-ed2]

Come on, Sammy, you keep giving five points away for free! It is a no-brainer, folks, Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

[Rufae]

Talk to the odds guys! I'm just the messenger.

[WWWwombat]

That is a good Hail Mary. Not gonna pick it though.
