again with Arizona, Baltimore, and la rams losing...

[ponchi101]

Truly no favorites in any conference. It is going to come down to somebody having the insight (and guts) to bet against a top team, and winning.

[ptmcmahon]

You forgot to mention Tampa and Pittsburgh, who many of us had double digit points on. Although at this point it can be hard to keep track of all the upsets at once.

[ponchi101]

I got lucky that I saw that Rothlithberger (however you spell it) was out, and I had Pitt at a low score. But I had Tampa at 13, so yes, those two were also loses.

[Fastbackss]

You mean Rothenberg?

(Kidding - Big Ben doesn't have Twitter, so Neanderthals angry at a Steelers loss tweet at (tennis author) Ben Rothenberg and he tweets them)

[Togtdyalttai]

Did we think we couldn't do worse than last week? Well, we outdid ourselves. In week 10, only one contestant went over 50, fastbackss with 58. Ponchi101 inched up on New England Nitemare as well, making the lead the smallest it has been since NEN first took it in week 3.

Those pesky Chiefs...

[Fastbackss]

This league cracks me up.

I did my picks today and felt I had too many upsets. So of course the ones I changed ... are the ones that are (likely) going to come true based on the current scores

[ponchi101]

And to keep the theme: Tennessee loses to THE TEXANS. Literally the #1 team Vs the last team in the AFC.

[Fastbackss]

Houston, Philly, Minnesota, Indy were all .500 or worse and won against teams that were above .500

(Doesn't include WFT who won as well)

[ponchi101]

The Bills are starting to look like impostors. With this loss, the fall behind the Pats, so they may not be for real.
I picked the Bills over Indy, but Indy is legit.
Philly over NO? That was easy. NO stands for NO QB. They can't win with Seimian.
Houston is the absurd loss.

Hell for picking, but great for the entertainment of anyone able to beat anyone. Feels like this season more than any other and the top teams records back it up.

Favourite stat of the day was going into today no NFC team had won more than two in a row.

[ponchi101]

Oh, for sure. And last night's game between PIT and LAC was very good. Was looking like a dud and then the Steelers came back and it was very entertaining.
And for the betting houses it must be great too. It truly is a 50% chance for every team, and when it is always 50%, the house usually wins more.

[JazzNU]

The only thing that is pissing me off this week is that basically all of you got bailed out on your ridiculously high Baltimore prediction numbers. Very annoying you weren't made to pay for that one.

[ponchi101]

Sure, but whom else would you have given a high confidence? Sure, I dropped it a couple of spots after I saw Lamar wasn't playing, but then, trying to bring it further down, I just could not get myself to drop it any further. I even had Detroit over Cleveland until I saw the rookie QB was getting the nod. That went out. Then, Seattle vs Arizona, in Seattle, was a mess as Kyler was out, but Seattle has no running game to speak off and I really thought Russel would bounce back. Boink, he didn't.
I easily could have given 10 of the matchups a confidence rating of 3. Even Buffalo Vs Indy, which burnt me, I would have given it a confidence of 5, but there were so many other lousy picks I had to go with "AT HOME, with GOOD QB (Ha!) and the best defense in the league".
