I might change my picks by Saturday, but we'll see. I just want to get something down. I'm not picking the Cowboys to win a game, regardless of their hot streak.

12. San Diego Chargers
11. New Orleans Saints
10. Indianapolis Colts
9. Minnesota Vikings
8. New England Patriots
7. Philadelphia Eagles
6. Green Bay Packers
5. Cincinnati Bengals
4. Dallas Cowboys
3. Baltimore Ravens
2. Arizona Cardinals
1. New York Jets

I'm not really sure what to do with the NFC this year. It's very well balanced. The AFC is very clear to me, so I'm definitely sure about my picks in respect to that conference.

Zebra, I think you may have inverted your order? Top team should be 12, bottom team should be 1 (when a team wins you get how many points you assigned to that team).

I'm thinking I should put the Eagles at the top just like you put the Packers at the top, because they're my team, but I really don't know. If they hadn't lost yesterday then I definitely would have done that.

I don't have it in my heart to pick against the Eagles. I keep going back and forth, thinking the Eagles can't play that badly and lose 2 in a row to Dallas, but they very well might. Alright...

11. New Orleans Saints

It's interesting that three of the wild card matchups are games from this past weekend. The only difference is that the Cincinnati game moves to Cincinnati instead of staying in New York.

Yeah, I find this strange too. I know there was one scenario where all four could have been the same. I believe if Houston got in and played at New England somehow...

I'm curious to see how Dallas, New England, and Minnesota all play. I think the Eagles are done for and I wouldn't be all that shocked to see a close game between the Jets and the Bengals.

On the other hand, I always suck ass at predicting football so everyone should ignore me.

Bond · 01-08-2010, 11:41 PM

Wow, seven players. I think that's the most we've had in quite some time. I'll try to update the standings frequently.

Typhoid · 01-08-2010, 11:56 PM

I really hope I can pull off the win this time. 2 times in 3 years. That would be tasty.
