On the one hand, he was the first IDP I drafted for my fantasy football team this season and has been kicking some ass for me.
On the other hand... I'm a Bengals fan, lol.

Would suck if his career ended like that though. It's not something you wish on a player. Even when he plays for your rivals.
Well... unless he's Robbie Savage. :evil:


Dude, even the Devil would want Robbie Savage injured.

Steelers defense has been bleeding points, and the offense has managed to keep them in games so far this season, WITHOUT A CONSISTENT RUSHING ATTACK. That means everything has fallen on Bens Shoulders, especially the win over the Eagles, a drive that started at our own 10yd line after a holding penalty. Bens being talked about because he has stepped up and kept the team in games, even though we've lost 3 of them.

Also, as too winning. 90-36. 2-1. Those are two stats that you mentioned. 90 wins, 36 losses in his career. 2 Super Bowl Wins, 1 loss in his career. That my good man, is Winning with a capital W. Worst season the team has had since he became our starter was 8-8 the year after his Motorcycle Crash and shortly after he had his Appendectomy.


Anyways, this week.

Seahawks > 49ers
Titans > Bills
Dallas < Carolina
Houston > Baltimore
Indianapolis > Cleveland'
Arizona < Minnesota
Giants > Washington
St . Louis > Green Bay (St. Louis beat the team that beat Green Bay, no matter how you look at that last play. Green Bay got the go ahead score on a equally bad call, so shut up right now)
New Orleans > Tampa Bay
New York Jets > New England
Oakland > Jacksonville
Pittsburgh > Cincinatti
Chicago > Detroit


Let's see: I differ with you in these particulars:

SF>Seattle
Buffalo>Nashville
Tampa>BigEasy
Charlotte>Dallas
Cleveland(impress the new owners!)>Indy

I hope your other upset picks are on target!

We'd have to put her in the next Madden game cover for the curse to take effect. :p Extrapolating it from the NBA (latest NBA 2K13 is a Jay-Z publicity stunt more than a game), it could be done.

I think the Madden curse took a left-turn this year. Calvin Johnson's not injured and is having a decent year; while Ray Lewis, who is gone for the season with a fluky injury; was in all the Madden commericals this year. Maybe the curse transferred to the TV commerical now??

I did pick Carolina over Dallas, so why thats on there idk.......... :)

That said, Indy over Cleveland because Indy has done a terrific job so far this season, won a few games they definitely shouldn't have. SEA over SF because i feel that Seattle has by and far got the better Defense, which will come to show in the same style NYGs did against the 9ers. (Not mention, the Seahawks barely lost to the 9ers last season, with worse defense and worse offense than this season).

NO over Tampa because im picking NO every week, that and Pittsburgh are the only ones i wont budge on. Titans over Buffalo because again i feel that they are a more complete team.

My picks for this week,

Seahawks (28) @ (13) 49ers
Seahawks continue off their impressive victory against the Steelers, and take the division on the grand stage. The 49ers play poorly for two strait weeks, Alex Smith tossing multiple picks to a dominate 'Hawk defense

Titans (20) @ (34) Bills
The Bills play well at home to knock off the hopeful Tennessee Titans.

Cowboys (24) @ (27) Panthers
The Panthers win a close one against the Cowboys, with each team playing well. It all comes down to Superman, who pulls away with the win at home.

Ravens (23) @ (16) Texans
Two good defenses and steady Offenses. The Ravens, even with a few D problems, go into Houston and steal a win. Flacco proving he has what it takes to be a good QB in the league.

Browns (24) @ (19) Colts
Browns got a good win last week, Colts looked like a pee-wee team. Browns go in and win.

Cardinals (16) @ (34) Vikings
This years Cinderella team stay strong at home to take out the Cardinals. Christian Ponder continues a strong sophomore year.

Redskins (32) @ (35) Giants
Giants come away with a good divisional win. Following an onslaught of the 49ers, the momentum helps them take out RGIII and the 'Skins.

Packers (27) @ (34) Rams
Rams win a good one at home as the Packers continue with their struggles. Will the Pack get back? Who knows, but the Rams continue their "Rebuilding" year decently.

Saints (14) @ (23) Bucs
The Bucs stick it at home against the Saints, in hopes to stay close to the Falcons or at least get a WC berth.

Jets (28) @ (27) Patriots
In one of the marquee match-ups of the week, the Jets get a victory against their AFC East rivals, proving the doubters wrong as the Patriots fail to close.

Jaguars (13) @ (24) Raiders
Jaguars can't do much as the Raiders try and turn around their rough start.

Steelers (23) @ (28) Bengals
An upset for sure. With a chip on their shoulder, Cincy defends the fort against the injury-riddled Steelers.

Lions (22) @ (28) Bears
Chicago defend well against their rivals, as the Lions can't make a last second heroic.


I have the home team winning in 9 out of 13 games.
