After the horror of last week, here's hoping our collective crystal balls are a bit clearer and more accurate this week. We've got 37 players so far and here's how our Pigskin Prognosticators see this weekend's games.
The Cowboys and Eagles both had impressive wins last week, but all 37 of us think Philly will prevail today, our first unanimous selection of the season. Starting Joey Harrington and opening a new stadium was enough for only one player (gp43) to actually like the Lions over the Packers. Only 2 players (MunsonMan, Spartyon) choose the Chiefs over the Pats and 2 more (Seph, IUFan) back the Bengals over the Falcons. Three players (Trevor, IUFan, Jqueer) think the Texans will play more like they did Week 1 than Week 2 and upset the Colts. And only four guys (Cyd, JoeinPhilly, Pat125, SpartyOn) believe the Seahawks can topple the Giants.
Our Ballsy Prognosticator of the Week Award goes to IUFan, who is picking Bengals and Texans as well as the Redskins, Panthers and Bills (all overwhelming underdogs according to us).
The closest call is the Buccaneers-Rams. 20 are taking Tampa, 17 are for St. Louis.
The rest of the games:
Titans 23, Browns 14
Saints 24, Bears 13
Chargers 26, Cardinals 11
Vikings 28, Panthers 9
Broncos 29, Bills 8
49ers 30, Redskins 7
Dolphins 31, Jets 6
Good luck everybody!

"Ballsy Prognosticator"?
Shouldn't it be, the "Doesn't know what he's talking about" Award?

Do you guys really think the Vikings are going to win a game this year?

Wow! A much better week for us this time out. Going into tonight's game, we have 5 players who are 12-1 so far! Three of them have the Bucs tonight (UWFan, ATLJock, Bill_sf) and two have the Rams (Meric and yours truly). So it will come down to the Game of the Week (Nice call, Theo!) to determine this week's champ.
Also a number of guys who are 11-2 so far. Great week for pretty much everyone.

Much like my team (the Bears), it was nice to be close to the top while it lasted (even if it was only in the first 2 weeks). Just goes to show that the beginning of the season doesn't always matter much (Hear that Panthers? That's the sound of the rest of the season knocking)

WOW! I'm lovin John Gruden and the Bucs right now. Great win. Of course, I've always been in love with John Gruden, so I just have to get used to lovin the Bucs!
