C.K. sez:

Cards (I just plain don't like the Falcons)
Panthers (ditto Bucs to Falcons)
Bengals (maybe an upset?)
Chiefs (no reason in particular)
Bears (ditto Bucs and Falcons re Cowboys)
Lions (ditto Bears re Eagles)
Packers (divisional rivalry Bills)
Dolphins (I ALWAYS pick my team, regardless of the truth)
Titans (why not? Pittsburgh still thinks it is the reigning SB Champion )
Seahawks (for LadyHawk)
Raiders (coin toss)
Jets (I wish they could both lose...)
Jags (coin toss)
Texans (for Reecey and Em)
Colts (They are going to come to play!)
49ers (wishful thinking)

I think I got them all this week Mr. Pollster. If I missed any of the games, please let me know...

ck, thanks for including you reasons for your picks. I'm trying to learn to do this better.

I enjoy seeing why people pick whomever. I suppose most people have more scientific reasons--or reasoning based on w/l, key injuries, how players are doing in practice and such, but I've always been somewhat ditzy in my reasoning. Sometimes you'd be surprised how much more accurate The Ditz Method is, but other times my W/L record reflects that my choices are just that: ditzy!

Okay now, let's see your choices!

[Emeritus]

LOL, mine are far from ready, although I'm picking the Texans of course. I'll have them ready before game day, even it they don't amount to much.

[Emeritus]

I'm still working on it. This stuff is hard. No wonder I haven't done it before. Maybe I need a new method, like picking teams in alphabetical order.

[dredwak]

im waiting until the last minute and the ir report comes out...doubt it will help...

[Emeritus]

Hmm. If I could wait until after the games and then back-date my picks....nah, nobody would believe it if I got them all right. Hell, nobody will believe it if I get half of them right. I may go back to picking them by alphabetical order.

[cklaurence]

Are you guys men or mice? "Waiting for IR" indeed! I made my picks yesterday--bold enough to make my choices BEFORE any helpful reports! Suck it up guys and make your picks!

LMFAO!

[Emeritus]

Let's see, I could go ahead and just pick anybody and then use the Edit function to keep changing the picks after the games are played. I wonder if anybody would notice?

Can I just list dred's picks and say "ditto?"

[dredwak]

[Pollster]

You already did earlier.

We still need a pick from the week 1 champion "Baglady"? It would be nice to have some others picks too?

I started off pretty well last week at 6 - 2 then the late games kicked my ass.

[TryThinking]

Where are Bags picks, did she retire champion?

[Emeritus]

I entered one chili-cooking contest. I took first prize, figured that I couldn't improve on that and never entered another. Why risk a perfect record for no gain? Perhaps Lady is doing the same.

[TC Texan]

My picks for wk 2 are:
ATLANTA
CAROLINA
BALTIMORE
KANSAS CITY
DALLAS
PHILLY
GREEN BAY
MINNESOTA
TENNESSEE
SEATTLE
OAKLAND
NEW ENGLAND
SAN DIEGO
HOUSTON
INDIANAPOLIS
NEW ORLEANS

[Emeritus]

Hey, that's very impressive, TC.
