The bears did not do much better either.

Congrats on the tie breaker win josie. 3 weeks, 3 different winners, good stuff!

Some of last years playoff teams (Titans, Dolphins, Panthers) are in deep trouble, if they go 0-4 might as well start planning for next year.

Congrats on the tie breaker win josie. 3 weeks, 3 different winners, good stuff! ...

josie, on winning week 3 with the tie breaker! We all had the score for that game much higher than it came out. With the Panthers up 7-0 at halftime and all the fans booing Dallas, the Cowboys wokeup in the 2nd half to score 21 and keep the Panthers scoreless in the 2nd half. I guess they didn't want to be 0-2 in the Jerrydome.

NFL very interesting so far
AFC divisions - leaders are all 3-0 with teams at the bottom of each division at 0-3
NFC divisions - 3 leaders at 3-0 with 3 teams at 0-3 with the NFC South having having 2 of them with the Saints at the top at 3-0

So we have the NFL with 7 teams at 3-0, 9 teams at 2-1, 9 teams at 1-2 and 7 teams at 0-3. Should be an interesting year,

And for our pool, speaking of 3 after week 3, we have a 2 way tie at the top with 34 picks right with a 3 pick lead over a 3 way tie at the bottom with 31 wins.

Good Luck to all this week, with the byes starting, we only need 7 right to go .500 for the week

Congrats Dan on this week also, and great picks to all of us as well. Yes this year looks great. JerryDome. That's a good one J. He's more concerned about publicity than putting D'Boys back on or near the top.


The real deal is the G-Men. Looks like they got something really nice this year. Poor Tampa. At least the backup showed some promise. Those miracle comebacks messed me up or else I'd be on top prolly.

Those 3 teams from last year are history. Detroit's finally woke up some. Hope they continue. Great sports town.

Congrats Dan and Josie Looks like Josie is on cruise control again, still would like to visit Vegas with him/her
And a log jam at the bottom, nice to have visitors down there with me....

[dr_ml422]

Got locked out by a couple of mins. darn. Wish there was some small grace like 5-10 mins. Anyway. Good Luck guys.

Going into the week 4 Sunday night game, we had a week 4 winner, the 4th different weekly winner so far.

to uufta our week 4 winner. Sorry to here Buck get banged up

Dan and josie are still tied at the top

[dr_ml422]

Way to go uufta, and all of us as well. I'll be more diligent, and make this weeks picks in time. Looks like the 0-3 teams are toast. Think all are 0-4 now. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Dan]

Congrats uufta, only 2 wrong, hard to beat that. You have lots of time to catch up dr, just need a good crystal ball to get all the upsets right,lol.

Yeah, those 0-4 teams are done, what happened to the Titans, last year they had it all working. Dolphins are the only 0-3 to win after spanking the Bills 38-10.

[dr_ml422]

I'm going to be more prudent about going for too many upsets. Lol... Every team in Sports has a Cinderella season. Last year it was the Titans in Football, and The Rays in Baseball. Like Baby Hank Steinbrenner said,"It's time to restore order to the universe, and have the Yanks win the World Series again, and Boston at the top as well."

Jets fell also. I didn't see the game. I just ran into a friend that asked me what happened to them. All I said was the defense working.

G-Men have a easy schedule this year compared to last year where they played almost every contending team the whole year. Let's see what happens. 0-4 teams hopefully have Fios, or Satellite to watch the rest of the season, and the Super Bowl. Lol...

[uufta]

Thankyou all, every dog his day I guess

I live in Minnesota, so as you all might imagine I have nearly had a stroke over the past 5 days or more, My Gophers even lost to Wisconsin again by 3 or less points, I have lost track of how many times that has happened, and the friggen Yanks burst our bubble tonight, I finally get a day off tomorrow from the stress...

Sure miss the whole gang in our pool

Thnx uufta for suggesting the Mulligan. I prolly would of been near the top. I will not forget these week's picks.

Otn, I think Minnestota is going to have a long time to evaluate the most likely quest for the 27th World Series by the Yanks. Although anything's possible after thay spanked The Tigers. Burnett's going tomorrow w/Molina catching. Posada's have to get over it. Girardi's the manager not him. It's a team now. A-Rod finally is waking up. God bless the rest of the teams if he goes full throttle. He's long over due.

Hello everyone. Nice to meet you all.
Such a very amazing link!

Yur Wecome dr_ml422, I hope JM can pull it off for you, I know its extra work for him, but he's a stand-up guy hate to see anyone stressing out over a simple goof-up.

Would be nice to have the Twins win tonight, but I think after playing 3 weeks of must win ball, they look a little spent, hard to beat a well rested team with 3 times the budget

Everybody is talking about the Vikes winning the NFC now, that worries me, dont want their heads to expand to much, they have a very tough schedule the rest of the way, if the old fart can hold up, we might have a chance though.

Wish Gary D was around so I could razz him a little about his number 4 in a purple jersey, but he probably jumped into Lake Superior when he heard the news...

Good Luck All
