Hey Rocket, gutsy call on PIT. Yay, finally!!
Extremely gutsy with the Raiders and Chargers. Out on a limb.
We were in Baltimore last night dining in the Little Italy neighborhood and met a ton of Packer fans. Such nice people and great fans. One of the guys brought up that famous 1960 playoff game in Philly between the Eagles and the Packers. It was the only career playoff loss in Vince Lombardi's career. My father-in-law was at that game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_NFL_Championship_Game
Also, as a sidenote about the Packers. An old timer from the Vince Lombardi days played football at our local high school, Dave Robinson. He was recently inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Pittsburgh and Big Ben too storied to continue to skid forever! Doing it in an away game (at New York to boot), too. Raiders played good D, offense injuries and penalties did them in, while the Chiefs D bailed them out. Rick, usually it is me who pooh poohs the Chargers. I still think they will win Monday night. I did not change my pick on Minnesota as I made it on Thursday and only posted today. I did not expect Adrian Peterson (or the Vikings) to be all there today after his little son was abusively beaten to death ( ), but rather than switch I respectfully let it be.
Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

ps-Angie, the Chuck Bednarik/Norm Van Brocklin glory daze! Too young to witness, but made read of the exploits as an adolescent. Chuck an all time favorite of mine. (re: how to play the game )
Sadly, my Chargers are not too good this year. They had a good team going in but the loss for the season of several critical players to injuries has left them too thin to succeed. Craters in both O and D lines and linebackers with either rookies or second string trying to fill in won't do it this season. That bench was suspect for more than a rotating relief squad during the game to give the starters a brief gasser. I've downgraded my expectations from a possible playoff contender to break even status.
I'd love to be surprised but don't think so.

Look for the Chargers to beat Indy tonight. Just have a feeling.

You must have been the prophet. New look Chargers with a running game I've never seen before. Nice surprise for sure in town. For once they didn't choke at the last and give it away.

I think you (nonchalantly) won the imaginary sea-gar last week or whatever our weekly top prize could be.
I am only covering Thursday here and now. I am going to stir the potstabilities here, and pick the Arizona Cardinals to take it to the Seahawks. That desert air dries out the water fouls...
Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

I, like Rocket, doff the cap. One pick only now. Super busy this week and gone again to the Samoa Is. next and it isn't a pleasure trip. (never imagine yourself under a palm sipping a mai tai there!!!)
Seahawks in the battle of the birds.

THU, OCT 17
Seattle at Arizona- blew this one, starting out all wet! Stand by with a wet blanket to toss on these...;
SUN, OCT 20
Tampa Bay at Atlanta- maybe a close game?
Cincinnati at Detroit- mild interuption in Cincinnati's playoff run
Houston at Kansas City- Houston? Never know. Remember Smith injury 2012...
Buffalo at Miami-Dolphins swim, Buffaloes do not
New England at NY Jets- ai yiyi, Jets slugs, huge win if pulled off by them, doubtful
Dallas at Philadelphia- dire need to win at home, or Foles up the tent
Chicago at Washington- no more than 2 interceptions for Cutler
St. Louis at Carolina- hard to go against Panthers at home, suspect Bradford 2B2 hot
San Diego at Jacksonville- Chargers should decimate them
San Francisco at Tennessee- Tennessee is a team to be respected, however
Baltimore at Pittsburgh- may the bitter team win, field goal(s)
Cleveland at Green Bay-maybe only me...
Denver at Indianapolis- welcome whack
MON, OCT 21
Minnesota at NY Giants-or else franchise has mafia orders to roll over entire season
Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

Gronk is back. :-D
...my guess is, he catches an amazing touchdown pass in the first quarter, and then when he does his signature spike, rolls his ankle and is out for another three weeks. This prediction is based on the Patriots luck (or lack there of) with injuries this year.
Oh bother...

Patriots are working a miracle. Gronkenstein = Wins

Absolutely. Granted there have been some rough moments and ugly games, but if they keep winning and Brady keeps the team going, this could go down as one of his best seasons ever (subjectively, of course - I do miss the 50 tds)
SEA@ARI – Too late, but I really did pick Seattle.
TB@ATL - Falcons need this one.
STL@CAR – Could go either way, I’ll go for a home win.
CIN@DET – Could also go either way, I’ll stick with the Lions.
SD@JAX – I’m going to regret this, but I have to go for Sandy Eggo.
BUF@MIA – Fins should be too good at home.
NE@NYJ – Another Pats win.
DAL@PHI - This should be a Dallas win, barring Romo.....
CHI@WAS - A Skins win by some fluke would not surprise, but I just can’t pick my team on what I’ve seen so far.
SF@TEN - 49ers shouldn’t have too much trouble.
CLE@GB - Packers to win again.
HOU@KC – Chiefs too good.
BAL@PIT – Got to be Ravens for me if they can start playing in the first half, though it could be squeaky close.
DEN@IND – Peyton comes home and does the business.
MIN@NYG – Surely, surely they can win this one?
