NFL Week 9: Mid-Season Bandwagon

[Weltall]

Denver won't make the playoffs, lol.

Bob Sanders, the running joke, continues to fail.

[Kyo]

Gadz you are offically silly for listening to anything skip bayless says, shock value.

[Gadritan]

Precisely. I'm wagering that since he said it, it can't happen. That'd be as good as winning the SB for Jakey, and I don't want another 3 years of this shit.

Looking at the Falcons schedule remaining, their path to 10 wins is about the same as the Packers. I'm so retarded that I'm looking at tiebreakers if they are both 10-6, with 4-2 divisional records (two losses to the Vikings and Saints respectively) - the next would be "record vs. common opponents" - which are Chicago, Tampa Bay, Dallas, and San Fran. Falcons are 2-1, GB is 1-0 at the moment. I'd love GB to sweep, but they'll probably lose to Dallas, so I anticipate both teams being 5-1 in that department...conference record would be 7-5 Falcons, and either 7-5 or 8-4 Packers.

The playoffs, they will be ours!

the best laid plans...

Ever since I made the bold prediction of the Colts just lambasting the Patriots next week, Bob Sander, Kelvin Haydon, and Marlin Jackson have went out. Two corners and a safety. How bout that vaunted pass defense. Still think the Colts will win, but probably 31-28 or something similar instead of 35-17 I would have predicted a week ago.

The Colts are certainly a good team, but that defense is a huge liability with the injuries racking up. It'll be up to Freeney and Mathis to bring the D against a pair of T's that have faced them several times. Thinking NE walks out with the win, 38-34.

I'm new to football, what's the wildcards?

[Zilla]

The people that didn't win the division that have the best overall records after division winners.

[Kyo]

Being a redskins fan I could see how you wouldnt know what a wildcard is.

[Zilla]

And i know this isn't football but dam this bitch would give Hines Ward a run for his money for dirtiest player!

I'm glad I'm not the only one calling the annual Eagles-eventual winner NFC Championship Game.

[archibaldcrane]

There's an extremely good chance there will be 5 5-3 teams in the NFC after this week.

Falcons beat Skins
Packers beat Bucs
Giants (5-3, bye)
Winner of Bears/Cards
Loser of Eagles/Cowboys

Giants arent on a bye, their playing the chargers.

5-4 sup. My upset pick ok.

[Kyo]

Idk if that would really be an upset, lol, but I can easily see the chargers beating the giants.

[Chun Liroy]

Fine, I'll pick MIA over NE, I think I even said it earlier in the thread but I forgot.

[Conrad]

So assuming the Giants win against SD, it'll be Eagles Giants Cowboys if the Eagles win, and Giants Cowboys Eagles if the Cowboys win? If they lose it'll be Eagles Cowboys Giants and Cowboys Eagles Giants respectively.

Basically, lolcowboys. Oh, and the Giants have a 4.5 spread over the Chargers, I'm willing to consider that an upset.

[Kyo]

Giants Cowboys Eagles if the Cowboys win?

No, If the cowboys win they lead the division, but as noted if they loose, they'll be behind the giants due to the game 2 loss.

[Kyo]

Fun fact for the laughs, Tony Romo has the most bought jersey in professional sports, lol.
