NFL Week 13: Keep the Cristal on ice Mercury...

[Stiker]

NY Jets at Buffalo - I can't believe I'm about to pick the Bills; however, T.O. seems to be actually catching passes and the better RB IMO, Jackson, is starting over Lynch. I don't think the Sanchez will be blown out of the water, but I can't see him going hot-dog-God-mode on the Bills.

Philadelphia at Atlanta - Matt Ryan is out, Turner will either be out or not even close to 100%. That doesn't bode well for the Falcons at all, especially for a Philly team that needs to keep pace in the NFC East.

St. Louis at Chicago - I don't even think Culter can (completely) fuck this one up.

Detroit at Cincinnati - lolLions

Oakland at Pittsburgh - lolRaiders

Tennessee at Indianapolis - Peyton > VY. Let's be frank here, the Titans recent wins really haven't been against all too impressive teams for the most part. I still remember the last time TEN faced a top-tier QB in Brady and what happened to their secondary and I expect Peyton to do the same. VY and CJ won't be able to keep up even if this turns into a shootout.

Denver at Kansas City - For some reason this game makes me beyond nervous to pick. I'm going never for the obvious reason that the Chiefs are still bad; however, if there is one trap game, I think this is the one.

New England at Miami - Brady lost bad, Brady angry, God help Miami.

New Orleans at Washington - Uh yeah, this won't happen.

Tampa Bay at Carolina - I'll be honest, every time I can pick Carolina and be right, it makes me smile because I know somewhere Miz is getting pissed Fox's 10 year extension is just around the corner.

Houston at Jacksonville - Dear Houston, fuck you. Fuck you and your shitty team that can't ever figure out how to win a damned game you bunch of choking motherfuckers. Jacksonville to win after you fuck up another one.

San Diego at Cleveland - lolBrowns

Dallas at NY Giants - Last time Dallas met up with NYG, the 'Boys put up an absurd 251 yards of rushing. However, Romo also sucked ass that game and threw 3 INTs, and if that wasn't enough the Cowboys also lost a fumble in the game as well. I seem to remember we handed over something like 21 points at least that game. Simply put, if Romo can throw the ball to the people with Stars on their helmets, I see no reason the Cowboys don't win this game on the road.

San Francisco at Seattle - Seattle is just awful and I expect Gore to run wild on their ass.

Minnesota at Arizona - Farve and AP continue to roll in this one. I can't see Arizona stopping the Vikings at all.

Baltimore at Green Bay - I have a slight feeling Rodgers is going to be spending a lot of time on the turf this game. The Ravens are playing some damn good football right now, and I don't see that stopping this week.

BG Pick 'Em Stats
Last Week: 12-4
Season: 123-53

There's no way the Cowboys ever lose to the Giants unless Romo throws like 3 pick-6s or something crazy like that. Their offense is too good and the Giants D is too bad. Romo sucks but my mother could hit a reciever down field if she could sit in the pocket all day like QBs have been able to against the Giants line rush lately. I honestly think the line would be 9 if the oddsmakers trusted Romo in a big game.

Lot of truth in this post.

OK NFC South slash NFC North slash AFC whatever division the Colts are in because I don't really feel like looking that up...talk time:

Brees, Manning, or Favre for MVP at season's end, and through Week 12?

[recuperi]

Ravens haven't exactly been playing damn good football if they let a third string QB take them to overtime.

And yeah, any game in Arrowhead for most teams is never a sure win. That *should* actually be a decent game, since Cassel Charles and Chambers actually gave the team some form of offense now.

[Cephius]

Wait, like they lost to the Giants the last time they played?

Not that I don't think Dallas could win this. They're just incredibly uneven, and I don't see them really bringing anything this time that they didn't have when the Giants visited in week 2. I don't see it as being a slow game, or a low-scoring game, but it IS a December game and it's Romo's time to come down with Decemberitis, randomly spray the secondary with INTs and missed passes, and Dallas to provide the usual late-season drama. And the Giants are the perfect start to that, since Romo DID throw three INTs last time and his second-worst performance to date as a QB. At home. And this one's away.

I'm going on the premise that it's unlikely that Romo chokes the game away twice in a row, when that was the only thing stopping Dallas from winning last time. I just have no faith in the Giants defense, which means you need Romo to choke it up and/or have an injured Eli score a lot of points. I just don't see it happening. I'm a Giants fan though, so I'd love to see it, I just don't see how with the way they've been playing.

Brees if it's just between those three, but Favre would win it because every week there's a story about him despite Brees and Manning having perfect seasons.

I wanna see Dumervil or Sharper break some defensive records and get a defensive MVP for once though, but it probably won't happen.

Jets - Bills : TO's gonna poop on that secondary while lolsanchize goes 11/24 for 94 yards and 2 picks.

Eagles -Falcons : Pretty much what Stiker said.

St. Louis at Chicago : Upset pick of the week, Stephen Jackson will have a huge game imo.


Detroit at Cincinnati - C'mon...they lost to the raiders

Oakland at Pittsburgh - lolRaiders

Tennessee at Indianapolis - Peytons gonna poop on that secondary

Denverat Kansas City - Chiefs fail

New England at Miami - Belichik lost...Belichik smash, no tackles yet again for Mrs. Porter

New Orleans at Washington - Taking the saints by two touchdowns, let's face it they only blow out good teams :/

Houston at Jacksonville - Gonna be a good one....lol

San Diego at Cleveland - Landslide

Dallas at NY Giants - Giants by atleast touchdown, nothing against the cowboys but they lost at home.

San Francisco at Seattle - Alex Smith will throw 5 td's >.>

Minnesota at Arizona - If Warners not playing, forget about it.

Baltimore at Green Bay - If the packers can get ahead early in this game, I think they have a good shot.

I'd really like to watch the Bills tonight, but no NFL Network =/

[Headspace]

I'd really like to watch the Bills tonight

haha, good one

[Kyreth]

Because Romo sucked it up and threw 3 Ints, yet they *barely* won with a last second FG. Our secondary also sucked it up then as well, and since then there was personnel changes.

That's why I say Dallas -could- win this. It's just at this time of the year, Dallas becomes incredibly chaotic, unstable, and even damaged as they are, the Giants defense created one of the things that gives Romo nightmare fuel this season.

Also, if the Giants kicker hadn't whiffed a 29-yarder(!) they'd have had the lead far earlier than the last-second FG that sealed the deal.

But enough on this. I'm looking forward to Brady RAEG on Miami this week, as I won't watch the Deadskins.

Like I briefly mentioned in Week 12's thread, I was real disappointed in Welker walking around with a pouty face all game long. I don't know why the Pats were walking around with a "not again" look on their face; they've enjoyed a great string of success, I think that's a safe statment to make.

Yea but you know, everyone wants to credit the sign filming to all their success, which is kinda dumb but yea, I agree

[QuePsiXI]

I hear you. Just Monday, someone shouted in whitegate something about the "Cheatriots." I was thoroughly disappointed by the lack of creativity, and I think that is a stupid thing to still be discussing.

[Bipolargod]

Yea dude, considering...filming signs doesn't make a quarterback make an accurate pass down the field, and it sure as hell doesn't make Randy Moss school your CB, ah well inb4 "UMAD?" etc.

[Lordender]

Found this pretty crazy.

How accurate is Drew Brees?

1) Holy shit Drew Brees is accurate as fuck

2) The science behind that gave me a nerd-boner

[Tyche]

What makes Drew Brees so absolutely incomprehensibly amazing is the fact that he does all that he does, and he stands about as tall as Manning and Brady's hips.

[melbufrauma]

brees is 6-0, peyton 6-5, brady 6-4

[Cephius]

Why single out Brees? Not to hate on the guy, but I'd think even the shittiest NFL QB is in the top 50 in the world for being able to accurately throw a football.

For comparison, one of the McCown QBs (I know there's Josh and another guy, forgot which it was) wasn't even able to hit 50% of the targets
