I'm in. I'll get you the money. Please post all official players with picks in one thread after the 1pm games kick off. Thanks.

I'll take the Saints (+3). McAllister shows the league why he is the best running back.

2nd pick is the Brownies (+9). Philly D will allow the game to be close.

3rd pick...TB (-7). Bears suck. Case closed.

Nnoy…I’m sending the money to your Paypal account for myself and my friend Tom (Big T), who will be posting his picks shortly. It should be in to you by noon. I only feel strong about ONE game this week, but I’ll give it a shot. As I said before, handicapping the NFL is impossible these days, but here goes;

CLEVELAND + 9 - My Eagle fan friends would kill me for this, but I have to take Cleveland with all those points. The Birds have won EVERY game by double-digit points, and I think that the Browns keep this one close from the beginning. Don’t know about the upset, but I’ll take the inflated points.

MIAMI + 7 – Yes, I said Miami. I think that the D will keep the fish in it, and Bulger is in for a long day. Ugly,ugly,ugly. The Rams may already be packed up for the bye week, and Miami should give them a game.

BENGALS + 7 – Probably their 1st Monday night game since the year after SF beat them in the Super Bowl. New coach, new outlook, and a chance to shine in front of the rest of the league. This is my upset special and it’s gonna be worth every penny against an over-rated Denver squad. Rudi Johnson finally pays up as my wasted 2nd round NFFC pick.

And Walla...if you think the contest is ridiculous, don't bother to post your picks unless you cough up the $50. to enter. It's easy to pick games when there's nothing riding on it. Put your money where your mouth is. It's all friggin' luck anyway. I use $50. in gas for my Hummer to pick up and/or drop off money to my bookie every week. It won't break you to put it up. Good "luck" to all participants...and I DO mean luck.

NNoy...payment for Tom and I has been made through Paypal. Please confirm on this board when you get it. A "freebie" for my fellow participants...take the Bengals for REAL money and go to sleep.

I'll put all of my eggs in one basket and go with the Giants -7 over Detroit. I've been quiet since claiming that Droughns was going to head back to the bench, but I'll go out on a limb today and give my 2 cents...Warner is going to have the best game in a Giants uniform throwing for 300 and 2-3 Td's. $ New York Football Giants 50 times on the book giving 7........I haven't been following these threads lately. Are you guys putting up money based on your picks?

Nnoy, I am Primo's friend Tom
Here are my picks for the week

Eagles -9 – The Birds are winning ugly…but winning ugly by double digits. Stay with the best road team in the NFL (despite the inflated line)

Panthers -3 – Chargers make 2nd coast to coast trip in as many weeks...historically spells trouble

Bucs -7 – J. Quinn has thrown just one more TD pass me!

Chiefs -4 – Not sold on the Falcons

Seahawks – 7 – Time to right the ship after consecutive losses
