I'm sure Seattle will be taking that bye seriously towards improving Jimmy Graham's blocking!

Thanks again Iowa...great week man! GB getting stomped and ATL & PIT losing at home did some damage to my record. Still within shouting distance though.

Week 9

CLE 17 at CIN 24...Bengals got away winning with a so so game...they win another tough DIV game
GB 30 at CAR 27...Pack faced another tough DEF on the rd...squeak this one out
WAS 20 at NE 31...game for a half
TN 20 at NO 34...Saints clear the .500 mark
MIA 17 at BUF 21...Home team pick
STL 20 at MIN 23...one of the best games on the board this week
JAX 17 at NYJ 24...Jags OFC gets smothered
OAK 17 at PIT 26...Ben bounces back with a better game...Steeler D growing up
NYG 23 at TB 26...Bucs don't get 4 turnovers this week, but still win
ATL 27 at SF 20...this could be close for a while...Falcons not great in west coast games
DEN 28 at IND 26...okay...need to show the Broncos more respect, but this game scares me.
PHI 23 at DAL 21...Cowboys can't buy a win
CHI 30 at SD 27...one goofy pick

Bye Week: Arizona, Baltimore, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Seattle

Crap now the Broncos will lose because you picked them to win. In all seriousness this game does scare me a bit. Luck looked good in that 4th quarter. I'm hoping that hasn't all of a sudden gotten his confidence to where he goes out and has his best game of the year. Throw in the Broncos coming off an emotionally charged week with putting their owner in the Ring of Fame and such a high profile game. Throw in Manning just hasn't done well against the Colts so far since he came to Denver. I still think the Broncos win but I think it will be closer than some think it should be.

CD...I should've sought you out by now...congrats, great win last week! It made a believer out of me and I was thinking about the reverse mojo...lol.

IND is desperate...they still have a lot to play for...the Broncos clearly heard the doubters like me and were amped up for that test...can they get the intensity back up against a team that must win at home....I went with DEN because IND DEF is really not playoff caliber.

Hey believe me I was one of those doubters in the sense I just didn't think we had enough on offense to make the Super Bowl push needed. Thankfully looks like the offense got a few things figured out over the Bye Week and really to me the biggest difference was the OL seems to finally be figuring things out helping to actually have a good run game.

We do see in the NFL though that there are those let downs after such a big game. I'm hoping the whole Manning and the team getting revenge on the team that knocked them out of the playoffs though will be enough to get them pumped for the game.

I was cheering hard for your Steelers this week to help us out. Thought they maybe would get that one.

Steelers wasted a good DEF effort...I'm not sure what to think just yet...part of me adopt the Parcells...you are what your record says you are...which in this case is an average team.

But...when I look at the circumstances that lead to the record (starting QB missed 4 of the 8 games)...WR2 missed 4, RB1 missed 2, C missed 8 games...I know every team has injuries/suspensions...these are all keys players...we'll see what happens these next two weeks...OAK and CLE...two homes game...win both, I think we can get into the W/C conversation.

Not that good vs the spread. I went about 50% this past weekend in SportsHoopla Bookie

We're getting ready for ya bastards! Should be a good one, Seattle is never an easy place to come out of with a win.
