Hey guys and gals, it's that time of the week: PICKS!
Last week, Chris (that's me!) made some unorthodox picks--the only one picking Washington or Pittsburgh--that led him to the win for the week and taking him into first place at the end of five weeks. Bada bing. Here are the standings:
| Right | Wrong | % | |
| Steffes | 6 | 8 | .429 |
| Sullivan | 8 | 6 | .571 |
| Gonzo | 5 | 7 | .417 |
and for the season:
| Right | Wrong | % | |
| Sullivan | 43 | 31 | .581 |
| Steffes | 42 | 32 | .568 |
| Gonzo | 40 | 34 | .556 |
So, onto this weeks picks:
| GAME | Steffes | Sullivan | Gonzo |
| Baltimore @ Indy | Indy | Indy | Baltimore |
| Detroit @ Minnesota | Minnesota | Minnesota | Minnesota |
| Oakland @ New Orleans | New Orleans | New Orleans | New Orleans |
| Cincinnati @ NYJ | NYJ | NYJ | NYJ |
| Chicago @ Atlanta | Atlanta | Chicago | Atlanta |
| Carolina @ Tampa Bay | Carolina | Tampa Bay | Tampa Bay |
| St. Louis @ Washington | Washington | Washington | Washington |
| Miami @ Houston | Houston | Miami | Houston |
| Jacksonville @ Denver | Denver | Denver | Jax |
| Philadelphia @ San Fran | Philly | Philly | Philly |
| Dallas @ Arizona | Arizona | Dallas | Dallas |
| New England @ San Diego | San Diego | New England | New England |
| NYG @ Cleveland | NYG | NYG | NYG |
| GB @ Seattle | Seattle 30-24 | Seattle | Seattle |
A lot of unanimous picks this week, with the squad picking Minnesota, NO, NYJ, Washington, Philly, NYG and the Hawks, 7 of the 14 games. Steffes sets himself apart by picking Arizona at home over Dallas, and Carolina on the road in Tampa. Gonzo went crazy picking Jacksonville over Denver, and the hefty Raven defense over Manning, Addai and the Colts. Sullivan is staking his reputation on Miami beating Houston on the road with a Ronnie Brown touchdown pass in the 4th, and the Bears beating and eating the Falcons. I figure, hey, if the Bears are ruling on Wall Street, why not in Hotlanta?
Let us know what you guys think. Go Hawks! ~END~
