ZeeDub's NFL Picks: Week 3

[Zomby Woof]

Week 1: 11-5
Week 2: 6-10

Season: 17-15 - .531 (ouch!)

Week 3:

Falcons over Cardinals - The Cardinals are just another joke from PHX
Vikings over Bears - Pulling for the Bears, but MN is tough at home
Chiefs over Texans - Battle of the 0-2 Losers
Saints over Rams - One of those toss-ups - but the Rams are hornless.
Steelers over Dolphins - Worst Dolphins season ever?
Bengals over Ravens - Cincy has their darkest days behind them
Giants over Browns - Mediocre teams could cancel each other out
Titans over Jaguars - Not even Jeb can fix this one for Jax
Eagles over Lions - Time for Detroit's first loss
Broncos over Chargers - Painful pick, but only because Denver is at home
Packers over Colts - Last week Favre resumed his pill habit, and is back in form
Seahawks over 49ers - I can't believe Seattle has improved, but there it is
Buccaneers over Raiders - Because Gruden is due, and it's against his old team (Sunday night)
Redskins over Cowboys - Al Michaels will be caught on video sucking off Tim Russert while Candy Crowley does ugly things to donuts (Monday night)


Bye: Bills, Panthers, Patriots, Jets

1. Not too late to change your CHARGERS pick...

Trust me that'll be an upset tomorrow. You heard it here first.

Also, look for Win #1 from the Niners tomorrow.

It's not too late to change your picks...

Everything else looks good tho.

3. I am a hardcore Bolt fan

But money is money.

[tjwash]

19. Me too.

My condolences to a fellow long suffering bolt fan...

[XanaDUer]

2. I don't follow sports, so I will just say hi...

:hi: and that I am awaiting my power going out with the latest hurricane here in sunny FL.

[Zomby Woof]

4. I do for ONE reason

Because if I win the office pool, I turn $5.00 into $130.00 or so. Sports is meaningless except for helping me get through the lean Bush years.

And STAY SAFE.

[XanaDUer]

6. Thanks.

I'm getting my DU time in now!

So, if I'm offline for a while, you'll know why.

7. Zomby, did you pick the Chiefs over the Panthers last week? n/t

[Zomby Woof]

9. I think so

And I picked the Panthers over GB, so they are fucking with me at every turn!

But the Texans? Even the Cheaps can beat them with one bag of oxycontin tied behind their back.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

10. The Panthers will do that to you! n/t

[Zomby Woof]

11. I like the Panthers

My parents, sister, and nephew all live in NC, and I pull for them.

But I wish they would help me win some scratch.

[SmileyBoy]

12. Looks good except the Niners, Chargers...

and Vikings games. :toast:

[opiate69]

46. 'Niners??? HAHAHA!

24-0, Seattle... going into halftime.. Go Hawks!

:toast:

[Zomby Woof]

13. Sunday morning KICK

[jus_the_facts]

14. I'd wager to guess that since you picked the Saints to win....

....this week they'll be sure to lose....last week ya picked the 9ers to beat 'um and the Saints almost let 'em....Aaron Brooks is great when he's on and a horror when he's not..and he's been doin' BOTH in every game they've played with him as QB! :nopity: :D

[Zomby Woof]

15. it's NOT my fault!

Also, I overestimated the 49ers, who haven't been this shitty since the pre-Montana 70's.

Don't be down just because of my dumb picks. :D

[jus_the_facts]

16. If Tim Rattay wasn't hurt the 9ers would be kickin' ass.....

....he's been so goddamn underrated it makes me SICK...he was La. Tech's star QB and had the BEST stats in college football the year he graduated and then wasn't even drafted till the 7th round!!! :wtf:
Then he had to play behind Garcia...don't even get me started! :eyes: :7

[St. Jarvitude]

17. Adrian Peterson is the NCAA all time leading rusher

But he did it in Division II. So, obviously, he's up against significantly easier opponents.

There's a reason he's not going to be #1 on any team's depth chart the rest of his life.

[jus_the_facts]

18. Tim Rattay is the second all time leadin' passer in NCAA history....

....and he did it in Division I-A...he faced Nebraska...Alabama *beat 'em twice*...Penn State...Cal...his senior year...set all time passin' record in that Nebraska game too eventhough they lost.

Did I miss your point or something? :shrug:

[St. Jarvitude]

20. What conference is La. Tech in?

I agree that Rattay is completely underrated. But I wouldn't go as far to say that he's a superstar stud and he would beat the Seahawks if he were starting.

Did Rattay graduate college or did he leave as a junior? If he had an extra year, that will skew his statistics (obviously). But if he did stay, good for him - he made the right choice that sadly many of today's young athletes do not make.

What kind of running game did La. Tech have? Many times a great college QB won't have as many passing yards as he could because the offense is more run-oriented.

[jus_the_facts]

21. He IS the second all time leadin' passer in NCAA HISTORY.....

....La. Tech is in the WAC conference...they had NO runnin' game...they were all passin' which explains him bein' the second all time leadin' passer in NCAA history...he did graduate from college....and BTW there was another pretty good QB that went to La. Tech...his name is Terry Bradshaw!! ;-)

[jus_the_facts]

22. here's a little bit o'proof of his passin' vs. their runnin' game.....

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/college/stats/1999/players/15058/

[St. Jarvitude]

27. Er, that'd be Rattay's rushing stats

Not his team's.

I never really said he's not the NCAA 2nd all time leading passer. The leading passer is still Ken Dorsey, right? And he's still backing up a starter, right?

College football is a completely different game than the NFL. Plenty of Senior Heisman winners have gone on to be drafted in the 4th through 7th rounds, or even gone undrafted. There are certain intangibles that statistics hide or cannot show.

[jus_the_facts]

32. Uh NO....it's Ty Detmer.....

....he still holds the all time leadin' passer record and he doesn't play anymore....and yeah I have a grasp on the subject thanks! :hi:

[jus_the_facts]

47. Here ya go...all the NCAA QB RECORD HOLDERS....

[Mr. Brown of MD]

23. I thought you would have learned last week...

Zomby, you messed up Baltimore again! I don't feel sorry for you this time. :P

-CollegeDude
Ever rooting for his home teams

[Zomby Woof]

24. I should start picking them

So they will LOSE, and then you will be sad and disgusted. :P

[Mr. Brown of MD]

26. D'oh!

I guess I asked for that.

That's why I don't gamble over sports for any reason, anyway. Because no matter what happens, I somehow lose.

-CollegeDude
Can't pick between a home team win or money gained

[Zomby Woof]

28. one of my best buds in Seattle grew up in Baltimore

And he is hardcore about all of his teams from there. He gets all sentimental about the Colts of yore (he is 40, so he remembers the glory days).

[JohnKleeb]

25. Steelers better win

or else I am gonna get so much 'cule.

[Zomby Woof]

29. They better win

So I don't blow this week completely to hell.

Just watched the Cardinals blow their easy chance at beating Atlanta. I am glad I picked Atlanta, but damn if I wasn't given a scare.

[JohnKleeb]

30. I just hope Roethlisberger is as good as they say

and the dolphins suck this year as much as Ive heard.

[Zomby Woof]

31. The Dolphins ARE sucking

Which explains why trumad has stayed curiously quiet about them.

And too bad youngred is too busy to post, so I can bug him too.

[JohnKleeb]

33. I hanged out with Zack yesterday as a matter of fact

You can bug him about it via email, he has G-mail now.

[Zomby Woof]

34. what the fuck is Gmail?

Fuck, I am getting too old and crusty for this shit.

I am a non-participant in such internet masturbatory exercises as Live Journals, Blogs, and other such self-indulgent trash.

[JohnKleeb]

35. google's new email service

I still use my hotmail addy as the primary one.

[Zomby Woof]

36. Hotmail is the devil

Cast it out of your Unholy Hard Drive.

[JohnKleeb]

37. and what is the best email service oh great one?

besides so much chaos would happen if I switched hotmail.

[Zomby Woof]

40. I only use my local ISP

Those free servers are spam-magnets and virus farms.

Of all the free email services, Hotmail has the WORST security. They have even admitted it.

[JohnKleeb]

41. I almost got one with my ISP

I got recommended hotmail a while ago and havent looked back, I havent had much problems.

[Mr. Brown of MD]

38. Google e-mail

1 GB of storage. Currently invite-only as it's in beta.

I have a Gmail address myself though for the most part I only use it to brag to people, because I don't send a lot of e-mail these days.

So you may not be interested, heh. At any rate, I hear that dinner bell ringing.

-CollegeDude
Time for hot dogs

[JohnKleeb]

39. Well I got it in just case

Ive used my hotmail one for ages now and I dont plan on giving it up.

[Zomby Woof]

42. I suppose it helps

If you need a quick email for your porn passwords. ;-)

[JohnKleeb]

43. I am actually a traditionalist when it comes to porn

Yo prefiero los perdicos.

[Zomby Woof]

44. so that means

No yak porn?

[JohnKleeb]

45. do they have yak porn in magazines or videos?

I just said I prefered.
