When you show your won lost record, do you go with the point spread in your pick.

ie if Dallas is favored by 6 and you say Dallas by 3, do you win or lose?

I had a solid 9-5 last week, bringing me up to 69-47 for the season. This week the crystal ball is a bit more cloudy though, but maybe I'll get lucky. My Record puts me in the pack with most of the ESPN guys, except Mort and Accuscore.

So, for week 9...

Jets - Going for the road dogs here. With Buffalo missing 3 startes, including the DE who lines up opposite Stroud, I don't see them dominating the line and Farve picking apart their secondary. Jets can stuff the run very well also.

Bears - They are a solid team with potential going up against a team that people from Detriot won't even defend.

Jacksonville - Read above, just change the names.

Browns - Ravens have been inconsistant and the Browns are playing for the crowd. Going for the home team in a close game is usually a good call.

Green Bay - Calling the upset here. I think Rodgers and his receivers will break out just enough big plays to keep the Titans on there guard and stacking the box and dominating the line.

Bucs - I can see them running up the scored after last week's low scoring loss.

Cards - The Rams won a couple of games against normally good teams playing sloppy and ust trying to just get by, lets not make too much of it.

Vikings - I don't see the Texans flourishing in the cold, but we'll see.

Denver - Go Jay and carry my lagging fantasy team for another week!

Atlanta - I think this will be a game decided by a few points, so I'll go with the team with the better record.

Giants - Their run game is a beast, and it is hard to beat a team that can get as many first downs as it needs. Oh and lets not forget to compare the QB battle.

Seahawks! - Lets do it baby and show we can beat a team with a winning record.

Steelers - I am going for a road team in a close game, but I have my reasons. I think Clint will get shut down and the pocket will collapse on Campbell. This one will be won by a solid D-line and line backing core.

Thanks for posting, Adam. I think you might have missed a game, though.

10-4 last week.. puts me at 73-43

Buffalo.. although id feel comfortable taking jets with some points.

Chicago

Jacksonville.. BEWARE cinicinnati's due for an upset.( i knw i keep saying this)

Cleveland.. both teams are grabage

Tennesse
Arizona
Houston..
Tampa Bay..
Denver
Atlanta
NYG
Eagles
Colts
Washington.. gotta score points to win games.

Not sure wht to think about singletary and the niners.. He needs to get some chemistry going with the team.. Nolan had his chance.. everyone wanted him to do good.. He just couldnt put it together..

I think everyone is anxious to see wht the niners are going to look like after the bye.. I knw I am..

Mia, Cle, Ari, Phi, Was, TB, Ten, NYG, Atl, Buf, Chi, Min, Ind, Jack

Thanks for the picks, DOM and Alessandro.

I don't know about Singletary. It's a difficult situation to be thrown into, that's for sure.

Good call.

Pats over the Colts.
