NFL Picks: Week 9 Results / Week 10 Picks (The Turning Point)

Hello, and welcome back to NFL Picks. We're halfway through the season, which means this is the week where we can change our Super Bowl picks, as well as the beginning of the 2-Point Conversions.

Here were the standout picks from Week 9 alone:

• Everyone who picked got the Saints, Packers and Steelers correct in their games.
• ScottRocketOrian was the lone wolf in picking the Cleveland Browns over the Pats, and got it correct.
• ScottRocketOrian was the only one to pick the Seahawks, but got it wrong.
• JohnnyX77 was the only one to choose the Oakland Raiders correctly.
• JohnnyX77 was the only one to pick the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions, but got them both wrong.

The results from Week 9:

1.) BlazenHawks / 10
T2.) Deus Legend / 9
T2.) ScottRocketOrian / 9
4.) Jerhawk / 8
T5.) Stopable / 7
T5.) JohnnyX77 / 7
7.) Dakota 2147 / 1

Now for the overall PowerRankings, presented this week by Wendy's. You know when it's real:

1.) Jerhawk / 78
2.) BlazenHawks / 75
3.) Deus Legend / 72
4.) Stopable / 68
5.) Dakota 2147 / 64
6.) ScottRocketOrian / 63
7.) JohnnyX77 / 56
8.) x SeanZ x / 45
9.) lakerbrim / 8

This week is the only opportunity for us to change our Superbowl picks if we want to. Our current selections that we made at the beginning of the season are worth 10 bonus points, but if you decide to change, it will only be worth 5 bonus points if you get that team correct. Here's a reminder of the teams we chose to win the Superbowl at the beginning of the season:

Jerhawk: Indianapolis Colts (5-3)
Deus Legend, BlazenHawks and Stopable: Baltimore Ravens (6-2)
JohnnyX77 and lakerbrim: Green Bay Packers (6-3)
Dakota 2147: Washington Redskins (4-4)
ScottRocketOrian: Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
x SeanZ x: New York Jets (6-2)

Here's the divisional winners that we chose to win at the beginning of the season as well. These are worth 3 points for each division that we get correct which will be added on at the end of the regular season. These picks can't be changed, but I think it's a nice reminder of how unpredictable the NFL is:

NFC West:
T1.) Seattle Seahawks (4-4): ScottRocket Orian and Dakota 2147

The Week 10 schedule. This week, we'll start up the 2 point conversion games. These games will be labeled with the * next to it. If you pick the underdog in these games and that team wins, you'll receive 2 points. If you pick the underdog and they lose, you'll get zero. If you choose the favorite and get it correct, you'll still get one point.
