NFL Week 8 picks (with point spreads)

[Auggie]

Due to the overwhelming response :eyes: to my questions regarding non-Sunday games, we've decided to SKIP Thursday games but INCLUDE Saturday games. I'll still try to post picks Friday A.M. Ties will stay ties and will not be counted in standings. JonLP24 has graciously volunteered to update standings as he feels necessary. Those of us with winning records are indebted to him.

Thanks to both Auggie and JonLP24 for your hard work!

[Auggie]

8. No one has picked San Francisco yet

[brendan120678]

9. I considered it...

but I decided that the Colts can cover that spread with a little bit of effort.

[JonLP24]

10. It was one of my tougher picks

I'm guessing the Colts win by 14 or 13 but the spread was high enough to strongly consider picking SF.

[JonLP24]

17. 14-9 San Francisco halftime

They have held Manning out of the end zone for the first half. We'll see what happens but it is starting to look more and more that I should have picked the under.

[Auggie]

19. Appreciate it

:)

[many a good man]

11. OK, here it goes

BALTIMORE / -3.5 / Denver -- Baltimore
CHICAGO / 13 / Cleveland -- Cleveland only an idiot or a Browns fan would pick this one!
Houston / 3.5 / BUFFALO -- Houston
GREEN BAY / 3 / Minnesota -- Minnesota
INDIANAPOLIS / 12 / San Francisco -- San Fran
NY JETS / 3 / Miami -- Jets
DETROIT / PK / St. Louis -- St. Louis
DALLAS / 9.5 / Seattle -- Dallas
SAN DIEGO / 16.5 / Oakland -- Sad Diego
TENNESSEE / 3 / Jacksonville -- Jax
ARIZONA / 10 / Carolina -- Arizona

[Auggie]

14. Mad... you in?

[JonLP24]

15. joey is MIA as well

[Auggie]

18. Maybe those spreads scared them off

:)

[JonLP24]

20. I got killed in the early games

I think the Philadelphia game is the only one I got right and I nearly picked the Giants.

[Auggie]

21. What's going on with the Giants?

They were just destroyed

[JonLP24]

40. I'll just say they had a bad game and were out of character

I hope that's the case with my Cardinals as they were absolutely destroyed today. :evilfrown:

[madinmaryland]

22. I completely missed this thread!

All the college threads and trumad being a $teinbrenner apologist...

:D

[JonLP24]

16. Nice run by Gore

:wow:

I would have thought you to be a Cal State fan.

[Auggie]

25. The Lions were home too

The debate of who is the NFL's worse will be settled between Detroit and their neighbor Cleveland. That'll happen November 22.

on edit: I'll issue a formal hello too. I wouldn't call this forum a disaster, but it's sure not quite as lively.

on further edit: You are always welcome to participate

28. You'll be spared having to see the Browns -- the 22nd is a Sunday

[Forkboy]

29. Lonely at the new forum, sweetcheeks?

Must be a real happening place if you have to keep coming back here. The day I looked at it there was like 3 people posting in the sports forum there. Face it, if it wasn't for TZ you'd have no one to talk to. That's why you can't get over DU. You miss us and still can't accept that you're no longer part of our reindeer games. You have to post at the Sports Forum of Misfit Douchebags while this one cranks daily. :rofl:

39. Maybe in your delusional world.

I told you once before that I had gone there and checked it out. What I saw was a sports forum that barely had anyone posting anything. If it wasn't for you and TZ it would have been as dead as corduroy. If it's different now feel free to post a link so we can all see how much more lively and exciting it's become since I saw it.

The fact that you think I'm spying is absolutely hilarious. Why do you think I'm not there? If I had any interest in you I'd just go ahead and post and bug you daily. I haven't posted there, won't post there, and don't care who does post there. There's about 5 people there I would call friends, and the rest are people I'm glad are gone from DU. Why would I spy on people I don't give a wet fart about? That's your gig.

I notice your profile says "female". Is that what you do in chat rooms when you're trying to hit on young boys, tell them that you're a female?

[madinmaryland]

41. Pizza for dinner, apparently.

[Forkboy]

43. He had to go hit on young boys anyways.

He put "female" in his profile this time, and any long time USENET or AOL regular will tell you that loser guys used to pretend to be chicks all the time in chat rooms and on message boards, either to land what they hope is a lesbian or to land other boys. As we know a lesbian fantasy isn't for cboy I'm leaning to the pedophile angle. ;)

[JonLP24]

30. It's tradition man

They played on Thanksgiving since 1920, 1934 was the first time as the Lions and it was a radio broadcast :)

37. Arizona had 3 chances to cut the lead to 1 score in the second half

One pick bounced off Urban's hands which a Carolina player grabbed and later down by 10 Kurt Warner fumbled trying to do his Michael Vick impression. It was a bad day all around. :evilfrown:

[madinmaryland]

36. You are the disgrace.

[Auggie]

44. AND THE WINNERS ARE...

many a good man and auggie

[JonLP24]

45. Haha last place. I knew it.

I felt good bout my picks except for Houston/Buffalo which I second guessed several times. Cleveland who I thought would lose by 10-12 but no more than 13. :banghead: Jets and Indy(points) I second guessed a lot too. :spank:

:toast: Auggie & good man.

[Condem]

46. With my college picks, a combined 5-16. Just a great week.

Nice job, Auggie & good man!

[Auggie]

47. That last minute Atlanta field goal kept me from winning outright.

Thanks. And thanks to (of all teams) the Raiders for making a game of it.
