Wow, almost copied you there. Had to pick one different one so it didn't look like I quoted you, haha. My possible update is Detroit over Chicago. Shocking.. I know. They are missing Harris, plus banged up on a couple spots and Griese is getting his first start in a while.

[Daahan]

Motioning to get you banned for stealing my thunder.

Bengals over Patriots.. you heard it here first!

[melbufrauma]

i dunno about the bengals over the pats :O, but i dunno about the DET over CHI thing, CHI is no pushover, they have the potential to be a good team, its just that rex grossman is horrid lol, ya greise might be alittle rusty but they defiantly couldnt get any worse

and im calling a stomping of Dallas over the Rams, with Bulger questionable and steven jackson out, if bulger does play, it wouldnt be for long with like 2 cracked ribs and something else, a sack or 2 would take him out

[sekaran]

Yea, its a stretch, but crazy things have happened so far this season.. They gotta lose sometime though! I hope anyways. I'd hate to see them go undefeated.

With Greise starting, hopefully their offense won't turn the ball so damn much. I think it'll be pretty even, pending which Lions team shows up.

why dont we do these posts in a poll-format? i dont feel like reading everyone's pick posts..

[scrockstar]

A poll would be a great idea, that way everyone would only have to list what upsets they think will go down.

As a cowboy fan i really like odds of us pulling off a 24+ point victory over the rams. I think the Vegas line is 12 and 1/2.

I'm looking forward to people picking against the patriots every week simply because they don't like them. There is no reason to pick against them lol, top 5 in all offense and defensive catagories (including #1 overall defense and offense).

Saying "they gotta lose sometime" is such a gambler's fallacy lol
Patriots 19-0 this year, even with injuries.
Only wildcard is a really really unlucky game heh

[Plow]

I tried to make a poll like this:

Houston AT
Atlanta
Baltimore AT
Cleveland
Oakland AT
Miami
Chicago AT
Detroit
NY Jets AT
Buffalo
Green Bay AT
Minnesota
St Louis AT
Dallas
Pittsburgh AT
Arizona
Tampa Bay AT
Carolina
Seattle AT
San Francisco
Denver AT
Indianapolis
Kansas City AT
San Diego
Philadelphia AT
NY Giants
New England AT
Cincinnati

But it says too many options ;; can anyone raise the amount of options possible?

[Viq]

Only game that matters:

Pats - 38
Bengals - 14

The rest of my picks look the same as the OP

Pats have played an incredibly weak schedule thus far, green bay's schedule has been tougher, and you already commited to 19-0. You ask a girl to marry you after you take her out to lunch for the first time too? If 19-0 were a gambler's fallacy, more than one team would have went undefeated don't ya think? Jesus, makes me wonder if some people think with their heads, or those little star filled eyes. I'll pick against the pats 3 times this season looking at their schedule. @Cinci, @Dallas, and @Indi. I think they'll lose 2 games this season, one of the above listed, and one fluke noone sees coming. If they get to 9-0, then id start talking undefeated. Three very tough road games coming up and they've proved themselves against noone thus far.

Cinci has no defense, so going to have to disagree with you there.

However this coming from a hardcore pats fan, however the dallas/indi games are going to be very good (yes, the past have a easy schedule... just like indi did when they had a great season) if anything though I believe the pats will go undefeated, if they were to lose a game it will only be 1 game against indi. Just no other good teams out there.

Pats might get a run for their money against the Steelers too. @Indy and against the Steelers are the only two games I'm really concerned about for the Pats this year. I'm sure they'll find a way to blow a game in Miami or something along the way though.

Ya, originally was saying they would blow the game against Miami or the Jets. However now with the whole video taping shit, i'm pretty sure they wont lose to the jets now ..... and instead just completely smoke them.

Mock your words?

are you the for granite and safe face guy?

[Demosthenes11]

NE has had an easy schedule?
Their first 2 games of the season were against the exact same teams they faced in the playoffs a year ago. Blowing out 2 playoff teams from a year ago = easy schedule? Chargers will bounce back, they are still a damn good team.
Not to mention NE has the second hardest schedule in the league this year
