Hmmm...my predictions have yielded a 4-0 record on Saturday games and 0-4 on Sunday games. No more Saturday games so I am doomed :).

I'm glad I don't pick football games for a living! I feel your pain Fred (1-3 for me).:confused:

What a great Super Bowl it would be with Peyton vs Farve.

With the Saints taking the Super Bowl in a blow out. I'd rather see a Saints/Colts match-up but there's something about the Jets.

The only question with the Vikings how many touchdowns they win by, two or three ?

Actually I have several other questions, most notably; 1) Are the Vikes healthy? 2) Can they stop the screen?; and 3) Can they win the turnover differential?
If yes to all, then you're right, as they are the better team all around.

It is heartening to know the Vikes won there last year on a Monday night, although by only 3, against basically the same team, while using Gus Frerotte at QB, having AP run for only 32 yards on 21 carries and yielding 330 yards passing to Brees.

Yes they are healthy and ready, but so are the Saints so as long as our defense plays like they did against Dallas Brees wont be able to light it up and Reggie Bush won't be able to run at will. Of course if the Vikings play like they did against AZ they are in trouble but hopefully that doesn't happen. Should be a good game !!

nolemmings 01-22-2010 07:38 PM

well
 
Harvin missed his third straight day of practice, and since he is involved in a variety of plays designed just for him, that can't bode well. Edwards and Williams are ouchy, and Winfield still is not 100% (with his replacement Sapp also banged up and questionable). Plus Brees, unlike Romo, does not require much time to release the ball, and the Saints are great on the screen against overzealous pass rushers and a mediocre Viking linebacker corps (Greenway needs to come up BIG). So proceed cautiously, Viking's fans.

If those guys are a little banged up Vikes probably only win by 10.

The Jets had a nice little run, but let's face it---a young Mark Sanchez was NOT going to beat Peyton Manning in a Championship game!

barrysloate 01-24-2010 05:26 PM

When the Jets were up 17-6 I certainly had reason to hope...but after that the game wasn't even close.

Me too...

The end of half TD was a killer, so was the Reggie Wayne fumble we didn't recover. We had a great year and made a nice run, the future looks bright.

carrigansghost 01-24-2010 11:38 PM

OK Rob, which way you going? Colts favored by 5 on the opening line, I'll take the Colts and give the points if you like to settle this.

Rawn

Going with the Saints

I predict the Colts win 6-4 in overtime (figure that one out!).

I wonder what the Vegas odds are on 5 safeties. :eek:

barrysloate 02-03-2010 06:15 AM

You don't see five safeties every day.:)

Jewish-collector 02-03-2010 11:36 AM

Hopefully Unitas will have a good game. Go Baltimore Colts !!! :D:D:D:D:D

Pulling big time for the Saints but my pick is the Colts.

I always go with the Green Bay Packers.

I'll take the Saints in an effort to win this thing.

congrats Rawn! Are you going to shave your head like Tracy Porter (Saints) did? :)

barrysloate 02-08-2010 05:25 AM

Congrats to Rawn if he was in fact the winner, he made a smart move by picking the Saints. And thanks to Tim for keeping track of all this. I think I may have finished last. Do I get a booby prize?
