I am 11-2 with my picks this week, pending tonight’s game. For the season I am 20-9 (I starting making picks in week 3)
I am very proud of my picks this week.
The two I got wrong were:
- Tennessee @ Jacksonville: As soon as I pressed “publish” I knew that I was wrong about this AFC South battle. I knew Jacksonville was going to win, but for some reason I thought that Rob Bironas would pull it out in the end with a 57-yard FG, just like he seems to do against the Colts. David Garrard played very well and the Titans defense allowed more than 300 yards passing. I am very surprised that the Titans are 0-4 but I can’t say that I’m not happy about it. Maybe it’s VY time?
- Baltimore @ New England: I really thought that Baltimore was going to win this one. I didn’t get to see much of the game and the highlights that I saw were emphasising the two BS roughing the passer calls that both lead to Patriots’ touchdowns. I really enjoyed and agreed with Rodney Harrison’s quote, “Tom Brady, if you’re listening, take off the skirt and put on some slacks. Toughen up.” I particularly liked that quote because it came from one of Brady’s former teammates.
I was confident that the Broncos were going to beat Dallas. I was watching the game with a die hard Cowboys fan and he asked me why I would pick against the Cowboys, I explained how I thought the game was going to end. I said that the Broncos would score last, late in the fourth quarter, by some crazy play that would make it into the “Top Ten Plays” on SportsCenter and Romo would get the ball back with a few minutes left and he would blow it for the team in the last few seconds. I went to go watch the game in my room while finishing up some homework and I ended up falling asleep, I missed the fourth quarter and I was awoken by a text saying, “What a pick! Exactly what you said would happen, happened!” I was right and I missed the whole thing. As for the Broncos, I say enjoy these four wins because they will most likely lose their next four games, which are New England, @ San Diego, @ Baltimore and Pittsburgh. I maybe see them pulling a win out against San Diego but I wouldn’t place a bet on it.
As for tonight’s game, I am pretty positive that the Vikings will pull out their fourth win of the season but I will be cheering for the Pack the whole time.
