One more week, one more game picked up on Andy—my 9-4 record last week put me just one game back for the year, at 66-37 (vs. 67-36). The key picks on my radar were the Jets (San Diego doesn’t travel east well), and the Tebows Broncos comeback over the Dolphins.
This week, right now we’re 100% the same, so no more gaining games—I’ve been wavering on picking the Lions to continue their slide, and I’m half tempted to take an extreme upset of Indianapolis over Tennessee for some reason.

Game of the Week: New England @ Pittsburgh – Frankly, this game doesn’t have the same level of prestige as it would have the last few years—but neither really does Dallas/Philadelphia or San Diego/Kansas City, which still look to possibly be good games, just not quite as interesting as the Pats/Steelers matchup.
Game of the Weak: New Orleans @ St. Louis – New Orleans put up 62 points against the Colts last week. This week they’re on the road—but still in a dome, and playing one of only two teams that might be worse than the Colts this year in the Rams, who still are without their defensive backfield and starting QB. Yeah, this should be fun.
Last week there were plenty surprises. What makes this week so sure there will not be the same upsets? You are both picking the favorites in each game to win.
