We've got 36 entries so far and here's how the games break down.
Despite the boneheaded play by Dwayne Rudd last week, the Browns have received the strongest support this week. But I guess that has more to do with the ineptitude of the opponent. Anyway, only one player (Trevor) backs the Bengals. The Giants have only one more supporter against the Rams. Trevor and MetsBoy are picking the GMen. The loss to the Texans last week has many people scared off the Cowboys this week. I'll bet if they'd managed to win last week more than 3 (Sportinlife, CowboysHskrFan, MetsBoy) would be picking Dallas to topple the Titans.
The Jaguars (JoeinPhilly, AubieinBham, BucBuddy, UWFan, MetsBoy) and the Texans (GoldenStateDude, GoMonica, Trevor, Sportinlife, Bill_sf) both only have minimal support in their games against the Chiefs and Chargers, respectively.
We have Co-Ballsy Prognosticators of the Week this week-Trevor, who is picking the Giants, Bengals and Texans, and MetsBoy, who likes the Giants, Jaguars, Cowboys and Ravens.
Maybe the Monday night game should have been the Game of the Week after all, as we are most evenly split on that one, with 19 for the Spurrier's boys and 17 for Reid's. The Steelers have a slight edge over the Raiders (20-16) and the Colts are picked by the same margin over the Dolphins.
The rest of the games:
Buccaneers 27, Ravens 9
Panthers 26, Lions 10
49ers 26, Broncos 10
Packers 25, Saints 11
Vikings 23, Bills 13
Patriots 23, Jets 13
Seahawks 21, Cardinals 15
Falcons 21, Bears 15
Good luck everybody and most all, enjoy the games!

Thanks George, I appreciate the "ballsy" part! But please check your records--I did not pick the Ravens! I'll admit I've got some blind spots (why did I pick the Jets over Tom Brady ), but that particular lack-of-offense was easy to spot.

My bad MetsBoy. I have you for the Bucs not the Ravens. Looks like some of the other ballsy picks have paid off with the Cowboys and Jags winning. Good calls there!

Yikes -- I pretty much went with the home teams this week: Steelers, Rams, Falcons, Niners, Vikes, Chiefs ... and the one time I didn't, it was, of course, the Pack ... that'll teach me ...
I, for one, though, and pleased as punch that the Rams are 0-2!

Uh-oh, maybe Miami-Dade or Broward County election officials have been helping keep stats around here.

Trevor, no need to worry. You couldn't have done as poorly as me.
Though, maybe you did. It would be nice to have company on the bottom.
