Boo, when in doubt I usually go with the home team

unless that home team is the Raiders

 

[Jon]

or Panthers

 

[Fool's Requiem]

or Chargers

or Chargers

 

[Fool's Requiem]

don't pretend like the Chargers have any sort of home field advantage...

My choices were just bad franchises. If we're going with lack of homefield advantage we may as well add the Giants, Jets, Rams and Jaguars to the list too lol

 

[Fool's Requiem]

The Giants and Jets have solid home field crowds. Every game is a road game for the Chargers.

 

[Jon]

They share a stadium, there's always a split.

 

[Quagmire]

or Panthers

I wouldnt be in doubt there though

I took a shot at the Browns randomly beating the Bungles because Chubb is back and because the Bungles haven't been good this year. I didn't really expect the team to just quit after the crowd cheered Watson's injury.

It might have something to do with the fact that every person in the world knew Watson was shit and they should have had Winston in to have a chance, but Stefanski was trying to save his job because he had a part in that contract and when he finally was injured to force their hand, Winston wasn't even active and DTR is just as bad, if not worse than Watson.

I think they were intending to trade Winston. Probably can't do that now.

I'm not so sure. They'd have played him if that's the case. Teams seldom trade for a backup that hasn't played all year. Why the talk it Wilson is gonna get a few games with Pittsburgh before the deadline. That in combo because they don't want Fields to play 51% of the snaps.

@Jon I know you're more invested in the election thread right now, but can we get week 10 up so we can set our picks? Or see if Mark can do it?

Oh, fuck, yeah, meant to do that yesterday... but uh... I was distracted with watching a train wrech irl.

I'll get it up tonight. Sorry!

I'll try to get week 11 up as well!

 

[Jon]

Ok, weeks 10 and 11 are open. Sorry for the delay, thanks for your patience!

I got the Panthers and Pats winning, but my upset pick of the Bucs over the 49ers didn't pan our even though they pretty much lead the whole game. At least with the Falcons L, I'm not alone in missing out on that point.

Edit: Ugh, Steelers are leading now with just over 2 minutes left.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Why was Cleveland favored against the Aints?

 

[Jon]

Why was Cleveland favored against the Aints?

Because the Saints are down their top 4 receivers, had a bottom 10 defense and just traded away their top corner.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

bungles bungling to give me an extra point

 

[Fool's Requiem]

There are far too many away teams heavily favored this week. I hear alarm bells going off.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

made last second swap. Ain't going to win if I pick the same thing as everyone else.

I hear that. If it weren't for the week of games I missed because of the hurricane, I may actually be winning.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

[Fool's Requiem]

I'll take my trophy now, guys.

@Jon, would you mind starting a new thread for week 13 and making picks available? Tomorrow has three games.
