Football Fantasy I...

[hedgehog]

The first football contest (I think). Who do u think is going to make it to the superbowl, its not as easy as u think. You have to pick wich team will beat the other, in the playoffs. We will see who is the winner, and who can hang in the longest. I'am not giving away any prize, because this game will probably result in multi-winners. This is just for fun, for all the football fans.

 

the teams are....

 

steelers at titans

falcons at eagles

niners at bucs

jetts at raiders

 

here are my picks

 

titans beat steeers

eagles beat falcons

bucs beat niners

jetts beat raiders

 

round 2

bucs beat eagles

jetts beat titans

 

superbowl

jets beat bucs

Round One

 

steelers at titans - Titans

falcons at eagles - Eagles

niners at bucs - Bucs

jets at raiders - Jets

 

Round Two

 

Jets at Titans - Titans

Bucs at Eagles - Eagles

 

SuperBowl

 

Titans Vs Eagles - Eagles

[oesii]

This Week:

 

steelers at titans - Steelers

falcons at eagles - Falcons (sorry z28, Mcnabb will be rusty, maybe Duece can make up for it?)

niners at bucs - Bucs

jetts at raiders - Raiders

 

then:

 

Bucs over the Falcons

Raiders over Steelers

 

Super Bowl:

 

Bucs vs. Raiders - close game, I think Raiders win 21-17.

falcons at eagles - Falcons (sorry z28, Mcnabb will be rusty, maybe Duece can make up for it?)

 

I'm sure McNabb will play like shit, but I think Vick is gonna have one helluva time against the D. He hasn't seen a blitz package like our yet and we have done fairly well this year with that stuff. And I think S.Barber will do a great job playing spy on Vick all day. So I expect a horrible offense day from the eagles but I hope the D will pick up the slack and put some pressure on Vick in a MAJOR way.

 

And I think Duece will get his yards (80-90) and will be ok. If not we always have Koy, and AJ in the wings waiting to go

[oesii]

yeah the more that I think about it, the more I think the Philly defense can be the deciding factor. The Bucs beat the Falcons twice this year easily by popping Vick and the Atlanta receivers hard in the chins. The 2nd game was funny Derrick Brooks nailed Vick on the first play of the game and he looked scared, out of it the rest of the game with low rushing yardage. I'm sure Hugh Douglas can put a licking on Vick too.

 

I'm still surprised how well Atlanta did in the snow in Green Bay, maybe it will be nice and sunny in Philly

Mcnabb may be rusty, but his talent isn't totally gone. He still has a chance, and staley can still create plays on the offense, plus they have a good defense, I think they can deffinetly beat the Falcons. They just need to watch out for vick and dunn.

[z28in82]

Well we'll have alkl the answers by Sunday night and hopefully the Eagles will show up and McNabb won't play too bad.

I think Dawkins is just waiting to get a lick on Vick, especially the way he was beat for the TD by Shockey 2 weeks ago, he seems to be the type who would use that to make sure he plants someone next time

Round One

 

Titans beat Steelers

Eagles beat Falcons

Bucs beat Niners

Raiders beat Jets

 

Round 2

 

Eagles beat Bucs

Raiders beat Titans

 

Superbowl

 

Raiders beat the Eagles (again just like in Superbowl XV)

[Xot]

bucs beat eagles

 

You MUST be kidding. We all know that the Bucs literally freeze up when the temperature dips, and it's gonna be COLD in the City of Brotherly Love.

 

 

My picks:

 

Titans over Steelers

Jets over Raiders

 

Eagles over Falcons (this is SUCH a tough one to call)

Bucs over Niners

 

Next week:

 

Titans over Jets

Eagles over Bucs

 

Super Bowl:

Eagles over Titans (another tough one to call. If the Eagles get by Vick, they go all the way.)

 

I really like the Titans this year, though. They're peaking at the right time. If the Falcons do get by the Eagles, I don't think they'll get by Tampa Bay.

[AtariDude]

Round One

 

Titans beat Steelers

Eagles beat Falcons

Bucs beat Niners

Raiders beat Jets

 

Round 2

 

Eagles beat Bucs

Raiders beat Titans

 

Superbowl

 

Raiders beat the Eagles (again just like in Superbowl XV)

 

So far I got 2. Now the Raiders need to beat the Jets and the Bucs need to hold off the 49ers.

[oesii]

I got both of them wrong, maybe I can get an honorable mention if I go 0 for 4 after today

 

Glad I don't this as a financial investment

[AtariDude]

All right! I got all 4 of the first games correct

[oesii]

All right! I got all 4 of the first games correct

 

great picks, although I noticed that you picked all the home teams and favorites , if it works out that way it means that all those regular season games meant something unlike last year where the Pats squeezed into the playoffs and ran the table. It's cool both ways I guess so it doesn't get boring

[z28in82]

OOHHHH well as Meatloaf woulda said 3 outa 4 ain't bad Damn Raiders

[AtariDude]

The Raiders are my favorite team. I sure hope they win next week and then win the Superbowl. It has been too long since the last one that they won (Superbowl 18 versus the Redskins....the one with the famous Apple Macintosh commercial at half time).

[Cupcakus]

I can't believe how many of you really thought the Raiders would lose to the Jets... at the black hole no less... gimme a break :-)

 

The Titans, maybe can do it, but the Jets... whatever :-)

 

Go Raiders!!!!

[Inky]

Cubs and Red Sox...

 

I know nothing about football, and I'm happy that way.

[AtariDude]

Well the Cubs and the Red Sox are baseball teams. I think it would be great if they were to play in the World Series. Neither team has won a World Series in ages.
