[QUOTE=VoodooDali]Hi again HLD

Betting on the 0-2 chargers against the 2-0 GIANTS

ARE YOU INSANE????[/QUOTE]

I seem to recall the Giants being 4-2 at one point last season.

I have found common ground with weasel The hatred of Dallas

Cincinnati Bengals
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Minnesota Vikings
St. Louis Rams
Carolina Panthers
Philadelphia Eagles
Buffalo Bills
Indianapolis Colts
Jacksonville Jaguars
Dallas Cowboys
Arizona Cardinals
Pittsburgh Steelers
San Diego Chargers
Denver Broncos

Remind me not to pick against Denver at home.

The football universe is slowly returning to normal as the teams who are supposed to win are winning and the teams who are supposed to lose are losing. It's still a little odd to see the Packers at 0-3 and the Bengals at 3-0.

The results for this week are:

The Z 12-2 (85.71%)
HLD 11-3 (78.57%)
ch85us2001 10-4 (71.43%)
Gwalchmai 10-4 (71.43%)
Jwmblade 10-4 (71.43%)
Weasel 10-4 (71.43%)
Bloodstalker 9-5 (64.29%)
Tybaltus 9-5 (64.29%)
VoodooDali 5-9 (35.71%)

Also has anyone noticed that our fantasy league is being led buy the Heathens, a team that has made no roster moves and spanked the former #1 team in the league, even though they had a player in their lineup last week who was on a bye?

The overall standings are:

HLD 29-17 (63.04%)
ch85us2001 28-18 (60.87%)
Gwalchmai 27-19 (58.70%)
The Z 27-19 (58.70%)
Weasel 26-20 (56.25%)
Kipi 9-7 (56.25%)
Jwmblade 24-22 (52.17%)
Tybaltus 23-23 (50.00%)
Bloodstalker 20-26 (43.48%)
VoodooDali 5-9 (35.71%)

Next week's games are:

Buffalo at New Orleans
Denver at Jacksonville
Detroit at Tampa Bay
Houston at Cincinnati
Indianapolis at Tennessee
San Diego at New England
Seattle at Washington
St. Louis at N.Y. Giants
N.Y. Jets at Baltimore
Dallas at Oakland
Minnesota at Atlanta
Philadelphia at Kansas City
San Francisco at Arizona
Green Bay at Carolina

EDIT: Corrected Gwally's record for this week and in the overall standings.

I think, in week 3, I only lost 4 games, and won 10 rather than the 8-6 you have me. I lost CAR, BUF, ARI, and PIT.

Noted and corrected.

Everyone else check my math.

I did go to publick skool.

Bills over Saints - Sorry NO, but Saints are no Cinderella team
Jaguars over Broncos - Broncos didn't win the game, KC killed themselves
Buccaneers over Lions - I don't see how Detroit could win
Bengals over Texans - Palmer will torch Houston
Colts over Titans - McNair won't be enough
Patriots over Chargers - Brady continues to amaze me
Redskins over Seahawks - Homefield advantage
Rams over Giants - Bulger and Holt > Manning and Burress
Ravens over Jets - Two QB problems, but one team has an all-star defence
Raiders over Cowboys - Homefield wins in a shootout
Falcons over Vikings - Minny's run defence is still questionable
Eagles over Chiefs - Philly's picking it up and the Chiefs D didn't look that solid
49ers over Cardinals - No Warner means big problems
Panthers over Packers - The Pack is a mess and I don't see Favre pulling any magic

Buffalo at New Orleans
Denver at Jacksonville
Detroit at Tampa Bay
Houston at Cincinnati
Indianapolis at Tennessee
San Diego at New England
Seattle at Washington
St. Louis at N.Y. Giants
N.Y. Jets at Baltimore
Dallas at Oakland
Minnesota at Atlanta
Philadelphia at Kansas City
San Francisco at Arizona
Green Bay at Carolina

Saints over Bills- I hate this game. Saints are an either or team when it comes to winning. One week they can beat anybody, the next they can't beat a college team. Coin flip every week.

Jags over broncos- Don't buy the Broncos. So they beat KC. They always beat KC...which makes it odd that so many of us got burned last week on that game

TB over Lions- I abandon the Lions.

Bengals over texans- I abandon them too,

Colts over Titans- Sooner or later, Manning is gonna break out.

Chargers over Pats- This pick will be my undoing this week. I forsee it.

Skins over Seahawks- Pure homer pick.

Rams over Giants- I just don't buy the Giants.

Ravens over Jets- Plain and simple, I pick Ravens because they are used to not having a QB.

Raiders over Cowboys- Moss factor. Moss has made it his mission in life to kill the Cowboys since he came into the league. His stats against Dallas are obscene.

Falcons over Vikings- Falcons will control the clock. And the Falcons D ain't the Saints D.

Philly over KC- This is the make or break week for KC defense after the debacle in Denver. I pick break.

Niners over Cards- Why not? Cards were the only team SF could beat last year.

Panthers over Packers- Favre is wishing he'd retired about now.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Indianapolis Colts
Buffalo Bills
New York Giants
Seattle Seahawks
New England Patriots
Denver Broncos
Cincinnati Bengals
Baltimore Ravens
Kansas City Chiefs
Atlanta Falcons
Dallas Cowboys
Arizona Cardinals
Carolina Panthers

I'm not feeling good about any of these picks - I think I'm tanking this week.

What happened to ch85us2001 and Kipi?

Is Cheezus going to be sitting on his 60% for the rest of the season?

Boy did last week blow for me...geez, that's the worst I ever did!

Haven't been on SYM all week and just jumped on at the last minute today - I have the flu.

New Orleans
Jacksonville
Tampa Bay
Cincinnati
Indianapolis
New England
Seattle (probably will lose this one, but I can't stand the skins)
N.Y. Giants
N.Y. Jets (what can I say - I'm a true fan)
Oakland
Atlanta
Philadelphia
San Francisco
Carolina

Bloodstalker, Jwmblade and Tybaltus all got off the snide, posting double-digit wins this week. Fluke or trend? Everyone else had a pretty good week. As always, check my math.

Week 4 standings:

Bloodstalker 11-3 (78.57%)
Tybaltus 11-3 (78.57%)
Jwmblade 10-4 (71.43%)

HLDi 9-5 (64.29%)
The Z 9-5 (64.29%)
VoodooDalii 9-5 (64.29%)

I can't believe all the road teams I'm picking this week.

I'd really like to be wrong about my Bengals/Jags pick, but it scares me to say that the undefeated Bengals may be playing the most consistant football of anyone in the league right now.

There are a couple of "somebeody's got to win" toss up games this week (Titans/Texans, Bears/Browns) and a couple of crapshoots (Fish/Bills, Seahawks/Packers) so it will be interesting to see how everyone does this week.

Also notice that I am picking Denver at home.

Detroit Lions Baltimore Ravens
New York Jets Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Buffalo Bills Miami Dolphins
Houston Texans Tennessee Titans
Cleveland Browns Chicago Bears
Atlanta Falcons New England Patriots
Green Bay Packers New Orleans Saints
St. Louis Rams Seattle Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers Indianapolis Colts
Denver Broncos Washington Redskins
Arizona Cardinals Carolina Panthers
Dallas Cowboys Philadelphia Eagles
Jacksonville Jaguars Cincinnati Bengals
San Diego Chargers Pittsburgh Steelers

Yeah, Bengles. I couldn't bring myself to pick against a 4-0 team...

Ravens over Lions - Lions won't stuff Lewis
Browns over Bears - Right now, Dilfer is better than Orton
Dolphins over Bills - Buffalo should've kept Bledsoe
Patriots over Falcons - Pats never lose two in a row
Packers over Saints - Green Bay's overdue for a win
Rams over Seahawks - No Jackson, no Engram...Jurevicius can't fill that void
Buccaneers over Jets - Herm Edwards has major problems right about now
Titans over Texans - Toss up
Colts over 49ers - Colts playing good D? Bad news for San Francisco
Panthers over Cardinals - The Panthers aren't exactly the 49ers
Eagles over Cowboys - Bledsoe's going to be blitzed to the ground
Redskins over Broncos - I've got no good reason for picking Washington
Bengals over Jaguars - Jags D is good, but...
Chargers over Steelers - I love Gates, Brees, and LT too much

Ravens over Lions- Same old Lions, same old Raven offense. God help all watching
bears over Browns- When in doubt, why not go with defense?
Dolphins over Bills- Bills defense is taking the year off it seems
Falcons over Pats- Best rush offense in the game plus a mean pass rush for Atlanta
Saints over Packers- Sad days in GB
Rams over Seahawks- Rams own Seattle
Bucs over jets- Not a good game for Vinny to get back in the flow
Titans over texans- no offensive line in Houston
Colts over SF- Hell, even last years colts D could have blanked the niners
Panthers over Cards- Why the Hell was Arizona such a big choice this offseason to make the playoffs?
Eagles over Dallas- Down with Dallas
Skins over Broncos- What did you expect me to pick here?
Bengals over jags- Bengals look real good. I mean really.
Pittsburg over SD- just a hunch
