[HPF Bob]

Another league I'm in claimed its winner last week so they are starting over. I make the same picks there as I do here and I took KC partly for the jinx factor.

Believe it or not, the AFC South is still out there if the Texans can get their act together. If Denver helps us on Sunday night, the Colts could be 4-3 by week's end and a 3-4 Houston team is right there in the mix.

I was thinking the same thing....I'm good at jinxes.

SD

I don't think the Jags can beat anybody this year.

[HPF Bob]

I called the Jags winning this week for the following reasons:

1) SD played Monday night.
2) SD has to travel three time zones for a noon start.
3) They are probably overlooking the Jags.
4) The Jags have figured out how to exploit Blackmon and their offense is entirely different when they can get the ball to him (ask the Texans).
5) I think staying with Denver as well as they did gave them some confidence.
6) Even terrible teams win once or twice a season.

These just don't change much around here. The Texans embarrass themselves again on national tv and the Fab Five survive another week in the Suicide Contest. It wasn't easy though, especially for those rooting for the Cowboys and Seahawks. Had to be sweatin' there, weren't you?

Keith: IND, NE, SEA, DEN, STL, SF, GB, NO, DAL
Nconroe: IND, BAL, NE, KC, STL, CIN, ATL, SF, SEA
Painekiller: IND, HOU, SEA, TEN, STL, DEN, KC, SF, NE
Popanot: IND, HOU, SEA, DEN, STL, CIN, SD, SF, DAL

Not available: IND, STL, SF, SEA

Forget about watching the Thursday night game. College football has Oklahoma-Baylor and Oregon-Stanford that ought to be better to watch.

And, really, there are no gimmes this week, particularly since the Colts, 49ers and Seahawks have already been played. Do you take a chance on the Titans beating the Jags? How about the Fins over the Bucs in spite of the inner turmoil in Miami? Got a hunch on the Saints over the hot-and-cold Cowboys? Or maybe the Cardinals spanking Houston?

Batter up.

Gotta love picking against the Jags.
