I felt Dallas was kind of a sketchy pick too. [/b]
Dallas is good on both sides.  Giants appear/ed to be in disarray.  Giants have (at the least) seriously sketchy secondary and running game.  Kudos to Eli for playing a great game and shutting Tiki the eff up.
 
 I heart Marion Barber. [/b]
What? How can you say Dallas is good on "both sides" when they allowed The Giants to score 35 points on 442 yards of offense? I realize that Terrence Newman was out, but is he really that much of a difference maker? Regardless, you can't say that Dallas was good on both sides of the ball.

All that really matters is that the Cookie Monsters are coming to take everyone's money...plus a sweet pair of VIP tickets!
 
 You guys might as well just give up now.

That may be true - they got torched.  I bought into the idea that Wade could, if nothing else, improve the D, that Hamlin would help balance R. Williams lack of coverage skills at safety, and that they'd have a great pass rush.  Also didn't realize the extent of their injuries.  Especially if injuries persist, they could be a lot like last year's Skins where performance was much worse than the talent they have on paper.

 Oh well, at least I have a 9:30 gift card and weekly Lions report coming.
And guess what,  I'll throw in a weekly U of Michigan update for free.

Out of the country and finally just getting to a computer
 
 sitting at the airport Sunday, checking scores via Blackberry, watched Oakland almost make me look like a genius...and then a fool
 
 here is why I lost...
 
 I have a very strict rule about never telling anyone what I bet on, or it will immediately jinx it (goes for unconfirmed shows too)
 
 and there it was for all to see, before the game
 
 I should've known better

Are you sure it wasn't because you put all your faith in a guy named Josh McCown?
 
 No, you're probably right - it was Yahoo's fault.

I'm picking the Chiefs.  I heard from many reliable sources that they're gonna win big.
 
 In the spirit of good sportmanship, I'd encourage you all to do the same.

I agree.  I watched the game last week and they were one or two breaks away from really turning the corner last week.  And by breaks I mean Andre Johnson's legs...and maybe Herm's headset.

Please continue to post your fake picks each week so I know which teams not to bet on. Thanks.
