NFL Playoffs: A Nawlins Bro Bowl

"Suspect" is generous. Moot point though.

Also, Mitt Romney will be elected because the Redskins lost.

Nah... Skins lost and little George Bush remained in office.

All the Panther game means to the Redskins is, the franchise spent a lot of money
and the team is still losing. But RGIII sure gives them hope for the future.

Ok, Week 10. This will be my best week yet (not that it says all that much).

IND @ JAX

DET @ MIN (If this game was earlier in the season, I would've went the other way, Det keeps getting better and Min keeps getting worse though)
ATL @ NO
NYG @ CIN
OAK @ BAL
BUF @ NE (as much as I hate New England, a -11 spread is too steep to bet against)
DEN @ CAR
SD @ TB (home advantage and better 2nd half)
TEN @ MIA

NYJ @ SEA (taking NY on the spread though, this will be a close game)
STL @ SF
DAL @ PHI (I'm worried about this pick; the short week and vick may just be mentally broken. The overall team is better than dallas though)

HOU @ CHI (I can't bet with GB this week, but I can still bet against CHI)

KC @ PIT

Dogs: HOU

Just one this week. After last week, I think most teams are starting to feel their place. NYJ, DAL, MIN, NO and SD could still show us a terrible week for the faves.

oVo and I had pretty much the same thoughts, except I have ATL staying undefeated.

[DoomYoshi]

PHI is now an underdog.

[oVo]

PHI is now an underdog.

Really? I don't even know who's losing streak is worse
and the Eagles have owned the Cowboys lately.

Just flipped my pick, going with the Vikings at home
over the Lions.

[strike wolf]

Well Falcon always seem to find a way to lose to the Saints. ;(

[oVo]

Lot's of concussed QBs this weekend and Rothlesburger
went out with a shoulder injury in the 3rd Qtr tonight.

San Fran & Pittsburgh both needed OTs to eek out a tie and a win,
but the Rams' had the Niners beat twice
and negated the plays with penalties.

Week 10

IND @ JAX
OAK @ BAL
DEN @ CAR
NYG @ CIN a sweet upset of the G-men
TEN @ MIA OW! That was embarassing

STL @ SF OT
HOU @ CHI Sunday Night's Game of the Week
KC @ PIT OT

[oVo]

Ravens meet the Steelers Sunday night with no Roethlisberger
and Byron Leftwich at the helm. The Niners and Bears both had
backups finish last week's games and there's no news yet as to
who will start when they meet Monday night.

GB @ DET
JAX @ HOU ...OT

CHI @ SF Cambell > Kaepernick, and possibly Smith

stop picking the redskins, please. they have a chance when no one picks them, and automatically lose when everyone picks them.

the fucking life of a DC sports fan... can't even bet on my favorite teams for fear of jinxing them.

Oh please. They're playing the Eagles.

If they lose at this point, you have permission to rub it in.

All I'm saying is 8 straight losses to rookie QBs.

[AndyDufresne]

I am picking Redskins to win, so whitestazn loses.

I'm picking foresting companies to win, so Andy loses his natural habitat.

[oVo]

Did you mean straight losses with a rookie QB?
Newton was a rookie last year.

Oops... San Fran and St. Lou was a tie last week.

The Redskins have lost 8 straight games in which the opponent's starting quarterback was a rookie. That is horrific.

[oVo]

The Panthers' QB (Newton) is not a rookie.

[pancakemix]

The Panthers' QB (Newton) is not a rookie.

Last year he was. And the Panthers beat the Redskins last year.

[oVo]

meh... I see it now. The sekrit to whuppin' the skins
is starting a rookie QB, but Newton got 'em again
two weeks ago.

[oVo]

I'm flippin' the Ravens and going with the Steelers
to win at home.

and

The Bears to win at the Niners.

[whitestazn88]

two weeks ago.

yes, newton got them again two weeks ago, but that has nothing to do with the statistic we discussed. it's as if i were to say, when x player gains z yards in a game, his team has won 15 straight times. it doesn't mean that x player had 15 straight z yard games in a row...


but aside from that, streak broken, only 2 games out of the top of the conference with a game left to play the giants, maybe we can steal that one, sweep up the rest of our terrible division, and we're right back in the thick of things.

or maybe i shouldn't allow my hopes to get so high off of one win against a rookie qb... but that isn't in the nature of skins fans.

[oVo]
