Sigh. So much for Chicago's amazing defense....

Looks like K8's out...

You made me laugh.  A lot.  And I've made my pick for the week.  Fingers crossed.

I switched from picking Baltimore over Broncos to New Orleans over Arizona at last minute; despite Arizona being at home, I figured, well, Cards are starting a rookie QB and they have been rather awful.   

Out:

• Zep and BillJ fell for the classic blunder with their picks of Dallas. Never go in against a born Texan playing a resident Texan when death is on the line! Or something like that.
  
• Steeler put his confidence in America's Team, but Brees was outgunned by Jay Feely.
  

 
In:

• Kate let everything ride on the Motor City. Gutsy move and the smartest week of the season to pick them. 
• NWG always knows when to pick the Jaguars. Insider info or football maven?
  
• Maryte took a minute from a very busy week to pick Atlanta because they're first alphabetically, after Arizona, who she thought had no chance due to their QB woes. 
• I took the Jets because they were at home on Monday night against Grandpa Lecher Favre, and because I didn't know the Jets have no red zone game.
  

 
Ladies, get your picks in by 10 am PDT on Sunday. This week is as tough to pick as last week was.

Yikes... the pressure is on now. I'm not loving any of the matchups again this week, considering who I have left as my possible choices. 
<sigh>  I can tell you this though, My Balls and I will NOT be taking the Browns....... it's going to be a real bloodbath.

Nope, you're still in there. It's just we women left.

I was so wiped out from ACL Fest, I forgot who I picked this week and thought I'd been eliminated.  Pleasant surprise to see that's not the case, but this week was a bit of a bloodbath.

Thank you for that!

Yeah, they're as despised as your summer team. He takes great pleasure in Dan Jenkins' calling them dogass in his book, Semi-Tough. Plus, he's a UCLA fan (mostly because Logan's an alumnus, IMHO). So, my affinity for Sanchez, USC, and Pete Carroll hits a nerve. He'll be pulling against me tonight, and causing The Mo to do the same. Good times!

Sure thing, Cartman.

He's just not happy that the Jets are playing well because they're in the same division as his Patriots.

Hey, I wanna play again.  Everybody needs to lose!

Z has already proclaimed me dead because I picked the dogass Jets. I pointed out that they're playing at home against the lameass Vikings. He said out loud that Mark Sanchez sucks. I replied, .

Anyway... we'll just see.

Looks like if Zipperella pulls out her win tomorrow night, then it's only us girls left in the Survival League.

You did! Wish I'd had your courage. I John Foxed that one.
 
Sorry about your team and that Horse Balls didn't work out for y'all.

I just didn't like many of the matchups and figured eventually I might have to pick them once I had gone through the really good teams...  Whew!  Still Alive!

I Rocked it this week... Good thing I didn't take the Browns.  <sigh>

Yes, they were due. It wasn't time - they were due. 
  
A commercial for a crime show just played and the cop or whatever sounded like Jerry Seinfeld. So, CSI: Seinfeld flitted through my head. That'd be a kick. I'd watch it. 
 
I think I may be feverish.
