[Auggie]

3. Thanks again for the standings update

Looks to be a fun finish.

I'm surprised Arizona is the underdog against Tennessee. I know they've been playing better with Young at the helm, but so have Warner and the Cardinals.

[JonLP24]

4. I know

they have been underdogs for every road game(AZ is undefeated on the road) except against St Louis and they didn't even cover lol. Warner went down(who is expected to start this week) shortly before halftime and they won by 8(9 pt favorites)

I was kinda expecting them to be underdogs again when both Tedy Bruschi and Marcellius Wiley both picked Tennessee to win and on the 5th down blog they have Tennessee as having a 53% chance of winning. http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/11/25/week-12-nfl-game-probabilities/

That site is actually pretty accurate but one thing I found interesting about last week. Pittsburgh had a 90% chance of beating Kansas City and they lost! lol.

[Auggie]

5. I've mentioned before that several of us are doing better than so-called experts.

[JonLP24]

8. I'll take Baltimore instead of Pittsburgh

Roethlisberger won't play Sunday -- Oregon star Dennis Dixon gets the start

Too late :banghead: :)

[Auggie]

10. It's okay with me if it's okay with everyone else -- I'll change my pick too. Naysayers?

BTW, the reason the Tennessee is favored over Arizona could be concerns over Warner's concussion. Looks like he might play nevertheless.

[JonLP24]

11. I'm cool with leaving my picks as is

However if you get everyone's approval to change a pick then you got my approval too and I'll change mine to Ravens.

[Forkboy]

14. All changes before kickoff are legal.

20. It's Vince Young vs Matt Leinart part II

So far Young is winning the battle and Leinart is not doing so well but it's only 6-3 Titans ahead at the half. Leinart needs to step it up but at least he's not turning the ball over.

As you might know Warner didn't start.

[Auggie]

21. AND THE WINNERS ARE...

Condem

and

Auggie

:applause: :applause:

We had one push, Tennessee/Arizona -- that won't count (congrats Titans fans -- quite a comeback from 0-6).

No one had a losing week either... :)
