Sometimes, success in this game is all about avoiding upsets. Surely the Steelers were going to beat winless Tampa Bay at home but they didn't which means the Steelers are a lock now to regain some swag in Jackassville this week. They'll be playing with a sense of urgency now instead of coasting.

Oh no, he's going there....
5-0 and time to risk it all on the jinx card.
 Houston NEVER beats Indy. NEVER. Going with the Colts even on the road in a short week. And if jinxing the Colts works, I'll be happy to lose.

 In my pickem leagues, I picked the Colts to win and the Texans to cover (in the spread leagues). I was one missed FG away from hitting them both. Curses!

Well, 6-0 and, by my count, the only one without a loss.
This week is a tough one. I don't want to play my Super Bowl cards yet (Seattle and Denver) and I've already used the Patriots. Buffalo at home against the Vikes is my second choice but I just don't trust Neckbeard enough not to screw it up. I don't like going with the road team or I might be enthusiastic about Cleveland (at Jackassville), Arizona (at Oakland) or Seattle (at St. Louis). The sucker bet is Dallas at home vs. the Giants. Have we forgotten how often Eli Manning has beaten the Cowboys at JerryWorld? Pass on that. Which leaves me to Baltimore at home against a collapsing Atlanta Falcons. Honestly, I'm not all that comfortable with this one but you have a dome team in the elements at Empty Bank Stadium where the Ratbirds are usually able to find a way to win. In real life, they are seven point favorites.

Gift card for the winner of the Pickem contest has been bumped to $20. It will be in the form of and e-gift and the winner will need to order online and then click on "Gift Card" during the checkout process. Once the $20 has been used up, any remaining balance due on an order can be paid with another means (cash, credit card, etc.). Not sure if it will work with a delivery boy or at the store (probably), but guaranteed to work online.
Creating an online account at the pizza website to order is probably the best way to go.... I like to order online and then go to the store to pickup my order(carryout). No expiration on the gift card. I will send the gift card numbers to the winner's email or PM inbox.

7-0 and there's not much discussion this week. I love the storyline of Colt McCoy coming back to the state of Texas on Monday Night Football to take on the Cowboys but who are we kidding? These are the banged-up and politically incorrect Redskins going against one of the NFL's hottest teams in a rivalry game.
The Skins may put up a fight and I'll be rooting for Colt (hook 'em) but my vote has to go with Dallas this week. Romo may still lay an egg when the winds start to blow cold but he's a hot QB for now.

Dallas will probably win but I'm taking the points in the spread pickems.... Would not mind if Native Americans upset them, though...

Washington almost bit me for the third time this season but SF managed to win late so Chuck and I go into Thanksgiving week with one loss left.
Some road teams will probably survive but I'm going to opt for the four-win Rams at home against the Raiders. We'll see if enthusiasm gets Oakland two wins a row with some extra days to prepare. If the Rams play like they did against Denver, however, it should be no problem. Amazingly, I still have Seattle, Denver, Philly and Cincinnati out there to select but I just haven't found the right week to take them.
