NFL Picks: Week 10 Picks / Week 9 Results

Nine weeks are in the books. Our NFL picks are still moving along, just as planned. So, here were some things that stuck out in the picks this week:

-UnKillableBeast was the ONLY person to get the N.Y. Jets CORRECT over the Buffalo Bills
-EVERYBODY got the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Bucanneers CORRECT as they barely beat their respective opponents.
-Flynn4DaWin was the ONLY person to pick the "Ballas" Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders, and got the BOTH WRONG. Sorry bro.

Here's the results from Week 9 alone:

1.) Stopable / 11
2.) Jerhawk / 10
T3.) UnKillableBeast / 8
T3.) Deus Legend / 8
T4.) JRC 865 / 7
T4.) Flynn4DaWin / 7

Here's the Week 10 matchups. The ones with a * symbol next to them and "upset alert" will be the games that I have chosen for our "Double EXP Weekend" or "Weekly 2-Point Conversions." Which name do you guys prefer? Anyway, I'll then list the records of the teams underneath. Here you go:

Denver @ Cleveland(Thursday Night Slopfest)

Baltimore @ Houston

New Orleans @ Atlanta

Tennessee @ Chicago

*Jacksonville @ Detroit "Upset Alert"

*Seattle @ Miami "Upset Alert"

Green Bay @ Minnesota

Buffalo @ New England

*St. Louis @ N.Y. Jets "Upset Alert"

*Carolina @ Oakland "Upset Alert"

Indianapolis @ Pittsburgh

Kansas City @ San Diego

N.Y. Giants @ Philadelphia (Sunday Night Blast)

San Francisco @ Arizona (Monday Night Disaster)

So, please don't get all upset if I didn't chose upset games that you wanted me to and call me an idiot, but I chose the ones that I felt to be the most lop-sided.

Game #1. Jacksonville (3-5) at Detroit (0-8)
Jacksonville is favored by 6.5 points

Game #2. Seattle (2-6) at Miami (4-4)
Miami is favored by 9 points

Game #3. St. Louis (2-6) at N.Y. Jets (5-3)
The N.Y. Jets are favored or "Favred" by 8 points

Game #4. Carolina (6-2) at Oakland (2-6)
The Carolina Panthers are favored by 9 points

If you're wondering, I got these points spreads here: http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/odds


Remember now, you DON'T HAVE TO pick the upsets for these designated games, they're just a way for you to get 2 points rather than the normal one point. If you don't pick the upset, say for example you pick Miami and get it correct, you'll still get the 1 point. It's just a way to get bonus points, it doesn't penalize you. If you do pick the upset, please just say (upset) after the game so that I know and don't miss it.

Also, in your picks I will give everybody the opportunity to pick the Super Bowl winner right now, for this week only! If you get it right, at the end of our pick season I'll give you 5 points if you are correct in your Super Bowl prediction. Sounds cool huh? I'm so nice, I know... Just post it in your comment after your picks please. Thanks.

*Also, get your picks in before Wednesday Night. We have a Thursday Night game this week! Sorry this wasn't posted before. If you don't pick before then, I'll just disregard that game but still count the rest.*

Good luck everyone!
