I see....


You still owe me

I'd prefer to call it on a gentleman's bet Reschke.

Anyway, I think we should have the winner each week start the following  "Week 4, Week 5..etc." threads each week and see how we all do on picking.

Yes. Guaranteed.   Not only was I confident that NE would underestimate Miami, but I also benched NE's defense on my Fantasy team for Seattle's Defense. 

You know Mr. Ripsnort, I doubted my Dolphins when I shouldn't have.  You were dead on and I have let everyone know since yesterday.  Especially my boss who is a huge Pats fan.

sopunds good Rip.  I got 10 so far, and hopefully my chargers will pull one out tonight.

[Reschke]

Whatever you guys want to do I am game for it.

My kids' 2007 11-0 perfect season football team was 2-0 going in against an opponent that they have easily beat in the past four years. I gave my son that speech about "any given Sunday" and I was afraid that the attitude of the team was that they could walk right into the stadium and beat up this opponent.  Well, they lost. They underestimated the team that they'd beat in the past, and the opponent took it to them.

I really thought Miami had enough weapons to catch an unguarded NE team with its proverbial pants down, and they did.  Doubt I'll call another upset like this all season, but the call was based on the timing of my son's team loss to an inferior football team.

Well some time after Tonights game, SkyRock should post the games for next week, and his own picks and we'll start week 4.

[Reschke]

Every once in a while a bad team with decent players can catch a good team just looking at past history and records. It happens in every sport at every age group and a lot of times it happens every year.

A couple of quotes come to mind in that situation for me.

"You play like you practice." -- No idea on where it came from originally.

"You have to play this game like somebody just hit your mother with a two-by-four." -- Dan Birdwell

Whether it is the NFL or little league ball teams can't be judged on injuries and how well they played against someone else. You have to know a little bit about the teams in order to get it right.

Sounds like a plan.
