Alright, lets start out by picking who we think are going to win then argue our points after we know what picks we don't decide on.

Redskins at Baltimore- Baltimore

Cardinals at Bears- Bears

Ravens at Bengals- Ravens

Texans at Colts- Colts

Cheifs at Jacksonville- Jaguars

Miami at Patriots- Patriots

Packers at Tampa Bay- Packers

Panthers at Saints- Saints

Lions at Seattle- Seattle

Chargers at Giants- Giants

Titans at 49ers- 49ers

Cowboys at philly- Cowboys

Steelers at Broncos- Steelers


Okay... well, you screwed up your picks here.

Atlanta plays Washington, not Baltimore.

Changes are in bold print.

I have:

Baltimore @ Cincinnati - Cincinnati Bengals
Miami @ New England - New England Patriots
Arizona @ Chicago - Chicago Bears
Washington @ Atlanta - Atlanta Falcons
Green Bay @ Tampa Bay - Green Bay Packers
Houston @ Indianapolis - Indianapolis Colts
Kansas City @ Jacksonville - Jacksonville Jaguars
Carolina @ New Orleans - New Orleans Saints
Detroit @ Seattle - Seattle Seahawks
Tennessee @ San Francisco - San Francisco 49ers
San Diego Chargers @ New York Giants - San Diego Chargers
Dallas @ Philadelphia - Dallas Cowboys
Pittsburgh @ Denver - Denver Broncos


The Giants won't lose to the chargers at home for the fourth straight time. Eli Manning is due to have a good game after he got injured. Also Manningham is back in.

Chargers: 17 Giants: 24

I really don't see the Broncos beating the Pittsburgh Steelers. They still have that super bowl team from last year. Yes, the running game is weak but Ben Roethlisburger has been throwing the ball a lot more this year and in my opinion a top 5 QB this year. The steelers defense will stop Kyle Orton. Denver will lose their second straight game.

Broncos: 20 Steelers: 23


Well, the Chargers just came into New York, and beat the Giants 21-20. So you're wrong.

The Broncos are at home. That is one advantage for them. Pittsburgh is 1-2 away from Pittsburgh, losing by three to Chicago, Cincinnati and beating the Lions by only eight. Denver is at home, beating the Patriots by three in overtime, beating Dallas by seven, and beating Cleveland by nineteen.

The atmosphere is another advantage for the Broncos while they play at home. Since the stadium is a mile above sea level, it takes a while for your body to get accustomed to it. The Broncos practice in it, and play in it all the time. They are perfectly fine with the atmosphere.

Switching topics to the teams, the Broncos' passing game is starting to come alive even more with the emergence of Eddie Royal. Brandon Marshall is playing pretty good lately, and Kyle Orton is playing like garbage like he did with the Chicago Bears. The rushing game of the Broncos is pretty damn good as well.

Plus, the Broncos have Elvis Dumervil on their team who has ten sacks this year. He can provide plenty of pressure on Ben Roethlisberger, and everyone knows that Roethlisberger holds onto the ball way too long


Forfeited Turn


Nice forfeited turn. Thanks for playing. Please try again.

The person who takes this challenge and makes their picks. Then Monday night who ever loses then they have to forfeit the TD so the fans can't vote for the person who lost the picks this week. Because that would just be stupid.

Packers should probably start thinking about 2010 after today's game.

I'd probably agree with about that statement after today's game.

The steelers kicked the broncos **** So it looks like your way wrong. You pretty much look an idiot giving this reasons why the broncos will win and they end up losing 28 to 10.

At least I had an argument put up there. You just put up slop.

You gave absolutely no reasons why anything would happen. You just said that the running game is bad, but Roethlisberger is a top 5 QB this year. And you said the Steelers D will stop Orton. How will they be able to do that? How is the offense looking? Your argument was weak as hell
