NFL Week 11 picks (with point spreads)

[Auggie]

Opening spreads had San Diego as 3 point favorites, but as of Friday morning the spread had become "Off". We'll leave it as even to make it easier on ourselves. As previously discussed, Turkey games for Week 12 will not count. Week 12 picks will be posted Friday AM. Happy Thanksgiving in advance.

And as always, it's just for fun. Good luck.

6. Of what? Even I am ahead of you!!!

:rofl:

[joeybee12]

9. I'm lulling you into a flase sense of security....n/t

[madinmaryland]

10. What is a flase sense?? Is that what Tim Lincicum gets after

doing a bong??

[TZ]

7. Hmm. I need to lay off you for a few, Joey

Right or wrong you keep picking Washington..Though I REALLY hope you are right this week...:P

[joeybee12]

23. ALL decent, God-fearing people hope I'm right this week!

:evilgrin:

2. Standings

RK MEMBER REC PCT WKS PLYD
1. Condem (73-68) .518 (1-10)
2. Forkboy (73-67) .521 (1-10)*
3. JonLP24 (73-67) .521 (1-10)**

7. joeybee12 (33-38) .465 (2,3,4,7,9)
8. Angleae (57-68) .456 (2-10)
---------------------------------------------
BOSSHOG (10-6) WEEK 1
Bill McBlueState (26-18) 3-5
givemebackmycountry (6-6) WEEK 7
many a good man (18-21) 8-10

**Forkboy is #1 based on pct but both me(Seattle/St Louis) and Forkboy(Tenn/Pitt) did not make a pick in week 1 so since Condem did, he gets first place.

Rough week hurt as all. Only 3 above .500. Half of 10 qualifies for a percentage, after week 11 half will be 5 so joey if you decide to sit out you'll still have a pct and those below the line keep making picks and soon enough you'll qualify. By math those with 1 week of picks probably need not to miss a week from here on out.

[Auggie]

4. Thank you JonLP24

Why do I have that sinking feeling?

[JonLP24]

5. Thank you

Without you posting the results after the Monday Night game this would be much harder.

Not sure what you mean by sinking feeling. You were 67-61 but went 3-10 so you're now 70-71. (answering your question best I can)

[Auggie]

11. "You don't understand...

I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am."

Anymore losing Sundays and I'll be on a one-way ticket to Palooka-ville.

[Condem]

14. I'm like, 12-29, the last 3 weeks, Auggie.

I'm fading like The Beatles on 'Hey Jude"!

[underpants]

15. The Super Bore

will they award points for effective punts?

the over/under is 38.5 and there is no logic that gets me to that point

[Forkboy]

16. Papa needs a new pair of shoes!

Detroit
Jacksonville
Pittsburgh
Indianapolis
NY Giants
Green Bay
Minnesota
Dallas
New Orleans
Arizona
New England
Cincinnati
San Diego

[flvegan]

17. The folks here that are picking Tampa Bay are certifiably insane.

I don't care if the point spread is 11.5 or 115, I'd still choose the Saints.

Insane, that is, unless you also chose the Patriots for victory. Then I'd say that you have your Mounds and your Almond Joy moments. Though betting on the best team in the NFL (New England) seems like a no-brainer for me anyway.

[JonLP24]

18. Josh Freeman in two starts has played pretty well

Team has played better since he has taken the reigns
W38-28 Green Bay
L25-23 @Miami

I nearly picked the under in that game, however going with New Orleans.

I also wanted to add the Rams gave the Saints a hard time last week and covered. If we picked St Louis(under) last week we would probably look like fools. About New England being the best team... we'll see in January or February.

[Auggie]

19. I would change my pick to Tampa Bay if I could

Today's news is "Running back Reggie Bush and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis aren't traveling with the New Orleans Saints for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."

And "The Saints also will be without their two top cornerbacks, Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter, because of injuries, but a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora that free safety Darren Sharper is expected to play. Sharper sat out last Sunday's victory over the St. Louis Rams because of a knee injury."

LINK: http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8145df9d&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true

This smells like trouble -- at least as far as points go.

[JonLP24]

24. Chris Simms is starting..., I'd change the Denver pick if I could

x(

Darren Sharper is expected to play. Sharper sat out last Sunday
Saints should be ok. The injuries hurt of course however Sharper is one of the biggest reasons why they are 9-0 instead of 8-8(last year's record)

25. LOL -- The Super Bore

Cleveland 24, Detroit 24 and it's not even halftime. :rofl:

I wanted to point out Detroit came from behind 24-3 to tie it.

[Ekirh]

26. I swear . . .

if they try hard enough they may end up in a tie!!!! :)

[Auggie]

27. 75 total points scored -- who would have thought it

[many a good man]

28. Most exciting game of the week

Maybe Quinn needs to play for a team with a dome, so the wind doesn't bat around his flutter balls.

[Auggie]

29. Did you see it?

[JonLP24]

31. Quinn - 21/33 304 yds (9.2 YPA) 4 Touchdowns, 0 Interceptions

:thumbsup:

[many a good man]

Sure did

Me and about 25 other hard core fans watched the whole thing at Pelican Pete's. Would've been a perfect day with Skins, Squeelers, and Ratbirds all losing!

[JonLP24]

30. Do the odds change at halftime

if Warner goes down?

Up 21-3 with Warner, won 21-13 with Leinart. J/k happy to get the win, hope Warner is ok for next week. :scared:
