Sportsgirl's picks

Great write-up!

I particularly like this:

Not counting their loss to unbeaten New England, the Cowboys have faced teams with a combined 13-35 record — two of those opponents have yet to win a game. Unfortunately for the Giants, the combined record of the six teams they’ve beaten is just 13-36.

I'm with you on all of my bets:

DET
NYG
GB
BUF
NO

BOL!

They may want revenge, but having the 31st ranked passing offense AND B. Bollinger starting, that doesn't sound like a win. AP will get his 115-125 yds, but I think they shut him out of the endzone. MIN needs to worry about getting down early, because if GB gets up a couple scores, their DEF win own MIN when they try and pass the ball.

AP picks on bad defenses, and he doesn't excel against good ones. GB has the 8th rated run defense....he's in for a frustrating day.

Best of luck to you taoday SG!

Green Bay has been touched by the magic wand this season - they cannot be beaten, even if they play bad!

Looks like the Steelers pulled one out of their ass, Nanc. I kind of expected a letdown after that huge performance Monday night, though.

sg- your picks are just straight up not by pointspread?

Sportsgirl · 11-11-07, 04:31 PM

yes, just SU - and I'm sucking quite a bit so far today. Guess this is my letdown after 2 weeks of only missing 3

The better team prevailed, my friend.

PIT is going to be tough this year....I didn't think so earlier this year, but they are starting to pull it together.

I gotta be right about something today! Geez

I'm hoping this blind squirrel finds at least one acorn. Oh, well, at least my Steelers won.

Rotheisburger is gaining confidence with each passing week. Being mentioned this past week in the same breath as Tom Brady get do a lot for anyone's self-esteem. Pittsburgh has never been a passing, come-from-behind team, but Ben is gaining a mental edge and I think he can bring this team all the way. Besides, he rushed for more yards today (49) than the entire Browns offense. LOL! Dec. 9th will tell the tale for this Pittsburgh squad.

It is like he realized that he can come from behind, a la Neo realizing he can kick some ass in the Matrix.

St. Louis over NO???

I GIVE UP!!!!
