The 2013 ITB Suicide Contest Thread

[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.

1: Indianapolis
2: New England
3: Seattle
4: Denver
5: St. Louis
6: San Francisco

7: Green Bay

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

Popanot: IND, HOU, SEA, DEN, STL, CIN

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.

It almost harder to lose em all then win em all.

If I had money on the line you might have convinced me to change my pick. Well, maybe not...
