[Pollster]

Saints over Vikings...(dejavu)
Colts over Texans...(was very tempted to take the Texans though as I think they need this game more)
Patriots over Bengals...(nothing would make me happier than to be wrong here, edge to home field)
Falcons over Steelers...(was looking forward to seeing Dixon on the big dance floor, but alas they are sitting him for Batch)
Titans over Raiders...(have I told you that I hate the Raiders?)
Bears over Lions...(Lions should be much improved over last season)
Jaguars over Broncos...(coin flip home field, both going no where and Broncos are questionable with starting injuries)
Giants over Panthers...(no brainer and they will get a win in the stadium)
Browns over Bucs...(two horrible QBs from last year, I'll take the one without the broken thumb)
Dolphins over Bills...(I wonder why?)
49ers over Seahawks...(however I think the foundation Carroll is laying will keep them in the race at the end)
Packers over Eagles...(old fashioned shootout)
Cards over Rams...(two teams struggling to find an identity)
Cowboys over Skins...(I like what the Skins have done in the off season and will be much improved)
Jets over Ravens...(coin flip goes to home team)
Chargers over Chiefs...(was tempted to go with the home team as SD is playing less than full strength, but just can't)

[dredwak]

so where are your picks mr pollster guy..? im already 0fer1...

[TryThinking]

Looks like I'm the only one that picked the Jags. 16 and I are in agreement on the rest, so the winner of that game will determine who won between him and I.

I'm 1 for 1 so far

[cklaurence]

I'm already 0/1. I'm usually pretty good at picking winners, though. We'll see who is King of the Lab here soon enough.

I am really concerned about Em. He is so regular about checking in here. I have to see if I have any old emails from him and maybe send him one. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I don't, and he left Facebook too.

I wouldn't be sending out any search parties CK, he did post just last night.
He said he wasn't on FB CK, that that was someone else that had hacked his profile. So probably a good idea if it was deactivated.

Yes, of course... I don't understand what thrill it gives people to hack into people's profiles. Just one more asinine activity for the imbeciles. He did de-activate it immediately.

[Emeritus]

I'm so bad at picking winners that I'm afraid I'd just jinx the teams that I picked, so I'm going to pass. But thanks for starting this topic, Pollster. I'll keep checking back to read everybody's picks. Perhaps I'll make my picks about next Tuesday, so I can be 100 percent correct.

[Emeritus]

Everybody seems to have disappeared. Maybe they are all watching college games.

[dredwak]

watching ND get beat by Michigan on tv...OSU is on the radio...and justinTV when my connection is good...cant believe OSU is not on TV...

It's funny you say that, Em. I'm always a nervous wreck that when I'm watching my teams play on television, I am jinxing them. I'm going in and out of the Miami game right now, with that knot in my stomach turning into that sicky feeling all over. It's 33/17 and Miami isn't the 33... I hope tomorrow is a better day.

[Emeritus]

LOL, I get the same feeling. "Maybe they will do better if I don't look." We both know that it can't possible make any difference in the game, but the feeling creeps in all the same.

[Baglady]

Here's for my ‘picks’ for whatever it’s worth:
Saints over Vikes (posted before the game) – check
Giants over Panthers
Dolphins over Bills
Falcons over Steelers
Bear over Lions (Bears at home w/ an improved D but Lions keep it close – maybe)
Bengals over Pats (No NE pass rush v Bengal O or wishful thinking?)
Bucs over Browns – ugh – someone’s got to win (no disrespect intended...)
Jags over Broncos – toss up so I’ll give it to the Jags @ home
COLTS over TX’s BUT a TX W would NOT surprise me
Titans over Raiders but a Raider W would NOT surprise me here either
Packers over Eagles
49’ers over Seahawks (sorry LH…)
Cards over Rams
Redskins over Cowboys – upset? Taking the Skins @ home
Jets over Ravens – homefield adv in the new stadium…
Chiefs over Chargers AT Arrowhead

Good luck today and may we have an injury free weekend to start this season off!

[Baglady]

TT (and CK, peddlefest), good luck to your Dolphins today also - RUN Ricky RUN! Hope he gets lots of points for my fantasy team Most definitely agree on NO injuries.

[Emeritus]

No picks, but I'm so happy that football season is here in earnest.

Wins and Loses so far

[cklaurence]

Looks like you're doing really well, Try. Have you checked out 16s yet? Which of you will be King of the Lab for a week?

[TryThinking]

16 and I had all the same picks with one exception the Jags....... which I picked.
I haven't checked the others yet that had posted theirs.

I'm not even in the running, Try. You don't have to bother checking my page. I was pretty much different than you two, so that would make me out of the running...

[TryThinking]

Bags has 3 loses too, but has 2 games different than me still.
Dred has 6 loses already with 2 different still.
You have 5 so far with 4 different still.
16 has 4 loses so far with 0 different still.
So technically I have 16 and Dred beat, but can still lose to Bags or you if you guys win all the rest of your picks.

[Emeritus]

Again, nobody picked the Texans. We don't get no respect.

[cklaurence]

Sorry Em. I had to go with my Diva--especially because she has invited me to attend a game of her Colts--second year in a row... I'm an official Alternate Colt Fan... I'm only an Alternate to Fill the Texan Room here at Switzerland. I root for both teams each week when they don't play one another, though--so you only lose my vote 2 games a year, Em.

OMG! Cobb Injured. Now there's another injury--Ryan Grant. They are dropping like flies in this game!

[cklaurence]

ANOTHER INJURY! Bradley (Eagles). This is so not pretty. It actually hurts to watch this one!

[TryThinking]

Again, nobody picked the Texans. We don't get no respect.

There were a couple of Texan fans that didn't make any picks either...
I did say in my pre-game picks that I was tempted to take them as I thought they needed it more than the Colts.

[TryThinking]

ANOTHER INJURY! Bradley (Eagles). This is so not pretty. It actually hurts to watch this one!

Yeah week 1 looks like it will have more than it's share of injuries...

[Emeritus]

The Eagles defense is good, but the last that I saw they had 17 yards passing.
