Yeah Ravens...after three straight weeks of picking them to win, they finally pull it off!

Remind me not to pick Miami in the second half of the season when they're playing outside north of Atlanta.

What is up with Atlanta? Vick throws for 300+ yards, just what everyone wanted, and they lose.

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Mon Nov 21, 2005 5:49 pm

Atlanta has issues with TB. TB has the players and the scheme that just match up well with Vick.....plus Atlanta can't stop the run apparently

@Thug...personally, I was cussing as well, but I was cussing Portis for not being able to hold onto the ball.

Go Patriots! By the way, while I'm here, what are the current standings for say...the top five teams I wonder?

@HLD...My best fantasy WR is Jerry Porter. Yet, my TE has more yards and probably more TD's than him. Corey Dillon has screwed me over more than once with his calf. My best RB has been Stephen Davis who puts up TD's and not much else (or in last weeks case, nothing at all) and whenever I start one QB between Eli and Brett, the other does way better.

In other words, I'm sucking big time

Falcons over Lions - Vick should be able to run and throw over Detroit's D
Broncos over Cowboys - Bledsoe has not looked good at all lately
Bengals over Ravens - I won't choose Baltimore to win for a fourth straight week
Panthers over Bills - Carolina's steamed
Buccaneers over Bears - Will someone please beat Chicago?
Vikings over Browns - Homefield + Mewelde Moore
Chiefs over Patriots - New England's D is hurting and Larry Johnson/Trent Green should hurt it more
Chargers over Redskins - I give up on Washington
Titans over 49ers - McNair should finally have some fun against SF's D
Rams over Texans - C'mon, St. Louis can't be that bad
Jaguars over Cardinals - Warner isn't playing his old team anymore
Raiders over Dolphins - Miami's falling apart after a fast start
Packers over Eagles - My gamble of the week (Could Favre please throw more TD's than INT's?)
Seahawks over Giants - I believe in Seattle. Plus it's on the westcoast.
Saints over Jets - NYJ wishes it was 2004
Colts over Steelers - I don't see the Colts getting beaten until they clinch a bye

Atlanta at Detroit
Denver at Dallas

I have a sinking feeling that at least one home team will win today, but I can't say who. Maybe I'm just freaked by my poor showing last week.... Seems, though, that I always have a mid-season let-down, so I should be used to it....
