Just click on your name to make your pick(s).

Not too late to join (minus one TNF game). Get in by Sunday, Sept 7 to get the full season.

Well, rough week in both pick'em and survivor leagues, but there is always next week. Just one of sixteen down so far.

As predicted, the Lions won. I'm sticking with the NFC North again this week as the other New York team gets a whipping on the road. That would be the Jets taking on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers at Lambeau. The name of the NFL game for most clubs is parity. Green Bay is 0-1 and coming off a long week after losing to Seattle and ready to get the stink out of their mouths in front of their home fans. The Jets, meanwhile, are fat and happy (like their coach) after a home win over Oakland. The Packers aren't Oakland and the Jets still don't have a quarterback.

And Gary Kubiak does what he does best and gives me "L's" in my fantasy games.... Bet against him = L, bet with him = L.

I was heavy on Pittsburgh on many levels. Any time I do this, it's almost a guaranteed "L". But that's the way it goes....

Man, this survivor league, and league parity is getting me so far.

First Buffalo beats Chicago .

And then Cleveland beats New Orleans.

New Orleans is one of five 0-2 teams. Texans one of six 2-0 teams.

Let me see, who does Jacksonville play this week.

2-0 now with Detroit and Green Bay (which gave me a scare).

There are few safe plays in Week 3 so I will take the obvious one - Oakland at New England. Going with the Patriots and really wouldn't mind losing either. I hate them SOB's. Or maybe the Raiders could lose the game but put Brady out for 12 weeks. That would be good enough.

[HPF Bob]

3-0 now as Patriots, even on a bad day, was still too much for Oakland.

A trend is developing. FloriDUH teams are 1-8 straight up. The Dolphins are visiting Oakland which means they might win. Tampa Bay is visiting Pittsburgh which is very tempting but Tampa played Thursday night and the Steelers played Sunday night plus they lost three defensive starters. Pittsburgh and their refs should still win easily but I decided to hold off on choosing them.

Instead, I'll take the overwhelming choice of survival pickers, San Diego at home over Jackassville, even thought the Chargers lost Woodhead for the season and the Jags showed signs of life under Bortles.
