Skip Bayless should change his surname to Dumbass.

If the sport of football wasn't all about matchups that would mean that because Denver defeated Cincy, who defeated Green Bay, who defeated the Bears, who defeated the Steelers, it would mean that the Broncos were better than the Steelers. O.o

Ha, too bad it doesn't work that way though as Denver still probably won't have a winning record and if they do they aren't making the play-offs for sure.

crosses fingers

Definitely the week of the upsets. The Jets was my favorite one, because whenever an underdog talks shit before a game, they usually get destroyed, but the Jets backed it up. Nice work by them. How the Bears won is beyond me, but I bet they're going to be the favorite over Seattle next week as a result. Detroit stuck with Minnesota for the first half! They actually looked decent for a bit too! Is that the Lions good work paying off, or were the Vikings just playing sloppy? The game of the week for me was definitely the Giants, Cowboys game. Holy shit. That game was intense as hell. Haha. Anyways, here is the standings as of now. If I messed something up, let me know so I can fix it before the next roster.

Well, coming in 2 weeks late, hopefully I can win the percentage race.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Philadelphia Eagles:

That's a tough one. Eagles are going to start Kolb, but it's the Chiefs.
Iggles in a nail-biter.

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens:

Ravens are on fire this year.
Ravens.

New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers:

As a Giants fan and a man who follows football, there's no doubt that the Giants will win.
Giants.

Atlanta Falcons @ New England Patriots:

Falcons have a shot, but I feel the Patriots are going to figure out what's wrong with themselves.
Pats.

Tennessee Titans @ New York Jets:

Jets look like they could be the team to beat this year.
Jets.

Green Bay Packers @ St. Louis Rams:

Rams blow, even with my guy Spagnolla.
The Pack.

San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings:

AP + Favre = win over an average team.
Vikings

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans:

Another terrible game. With my luck, the team I pick will lose badly. Let's flip the coin, and the winner is...
Jaguars.

Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions:

Lions are looking decent, but still have a long way to go.
Redskins

Chicago Bears @ Seattle Seahawks:

Bears' defense looked fine without Brian Erlacker (so what if I can't spell his name?)
Bears

New Orleans Saints @ Buffalo Bills:

Saints are too good right now.
Saints

Miami Dolphins @ San Diego Chargers:

The Chargers have turned into last year's Saints and Eagles. Here's to hoping they do horribly this week.
Dolphins.

Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders:

Well, the Broncos would be the smart move here. That's why I'm going with it. But it should be an interesting game.
Broncos.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals:

Steelers vs. Bengals. Need I say more?
Steelers.

Indianapolis Colts @ Arizona Cardinals:

I smell game of the week. I got Clark and Wayne on my fantasy team, so I'm going Indy
Colts

Carolina Panthers @ Dallas Cowboys:

Meh, an unexciting game. The only aspect of it is whether Delhome will be the quarterback in the second half. My money - he won't, and CP will lose.
Cowgirls.

I posted my week 2 picks in here and went 13-3. I also went 11-4 the first week (since you didn't count the Steelers/Titans game), so can I be included in your stats? My total so far is 24-7, which I think is pretty awesome.

I'd say we owe more thanks to Jeff Reed who was considerate enough to miss not one, but two normal distance field goals that gave the Bears the ball back in decent field position.

For whatever reason, I felt compelled to look for photos of Jeff Reed looking sad on the sidelines (because every two seconds they kept putting the camera on him) and instead I found this. Nice hair, Mr. Reed.

You'd be surprised...or not...

Just check the comments on that ESPN article.

Since Tampa is back to their old ways of failing (31st in Defense) how about they change the logo like the Lions did.

No, I definitely went 13-3.

I messed up on the Pitt-Chi, Cin-GB and Hou-Ten games. You don't have to repost it, just in the future include me please.

So, can we talk College ball here? I've noticed a lot of NFL talk and contests...

Sure as long as you state how overrated USC and Tebow are. :P

watching usc lose this past week put a huge smile on my face...also, anyone see purdue lose to northern illinois? also hilarious...

I think this is a much better punishment for Jeff Reed.

Redskins defeat Lions (Not this week)
Packers defeat Rams
Vikings defeat 49ers
Patriots defeat Falcons
Titans defeat Jets
Eagles defeat Chiefs
Giants defeat Buccaneers
Ravens defeat Browns
Jaguars defeat Texans
Saints defeat Bills
Bears defeat Seahawks
Steelers defeat Bengals
Broncos defeat Raiders
Chargers defeat Dolphins
Colts defeat Cardinals
Cowboys defeat Panthers

Good luck charm to this thread hoping for a Lions win.

does seventy-one still actually visit NG? could do with him checking the fantasy, i've made him a trade offer that'd allow him to actually play three wide receivers

Jesus fucking Christ.

My fantasy team was perfectly fine on Thursday when I last checked it, but i check it at 11:15 Saturday night and everyone is injured, and 3 aren't going to play. And with this league where you need 3549843214 guys to field an entire team, I'm scraping the bottom of the free agent barrel.
