Week 10 Pick Results:
1. Dave, 19 (9 Straight, 10 Spread)
2. Brandon, 13 (8 Straight, 5 Spread)
3. Jason, 12 (4 Straight, 8 Spread)
4. Chris, 11 (6 Straight, 5 Spread)
I know last week I said 18, but after Week 10 there are 20 teams that still have a chance to make the playoffs this year. The only teams that are virtually eliminated are: Washington, Dallas, Minnesota, Detroit, Carolina, Arizona, Miami, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Houston, and Denver. This makes for great television coming down to the second half of the season, since basically any team can be bounced from their playoff spots. We have great divisional races in the AFC East, NFC East, AFC North, AFC South, and NFC South, along with the lackluster races in the NFC North (Chicago is the worst 6-3 team ever), AFC West (Watch out for San Diego..), and the race for the right to steal a playoff bid from a semi less horrible team in the NFC West. Really people, what more could we possibly want?
Favorites:
1. New England Patriots (7-2) Bullets Blog Last Week: 3 Result: W 39-26 (PIT)
The Patriots rebounded from their bad loss to Cleveland by knocking the Steelers from their top spot, therefore New England will take over.
2. Atlanta Falcons (7-2) BBLW: 7 Result: W 26-21 (BAL)
Atlanta proved why they're one of the best teams in the league by beating Baltimore on a short week. Matt Ryan is maturing and the thought is flowing among analysts that he's starting to look like a young Peyton Manning.
3. New York Jets (7-2) BBLW: 4 Result: W 26-20 OT (CLE)
The Jets haven't played their best game yet, and they're still winning. They beat a tough Cleveland team on the road, and Mark Sanchez is establishing himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league, and oddly one of the hardest to tackle.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) BBLW: 1 Result: L 39-26 (NE)
4a. Baltimore Ravens (6-3) BBLW: 2 Result: L 26-21 (ATL)
These two teams lost to very solid teams. No shame in losing to Atlanta and New England.
They'll Be Right There In The Playoff Hunt:
6. Indianapolis Colts (6-3) BBLW: 5 Result: W 23-17 (CIN)
Peyton didn't have his best game, but he didn't hurt his team with his performance. The Colts are still a very good team and when your quarterback is Peyton Manning you will always be in the game. We'll see how they do this weekend against New England.
7. New Orleans Saints (6-3) BBLW: 7a Result: BYE
7a. Green Bay Packers (6-3) BBLW: 10 Result: BYE
The Saints stay put and the Packers move up due to the losses by the Giants and Tennessee.
9. Philadelphia Eagles (6-3) BBLW: 12 Result: W 59-28 (WAS)
DeSean Jackson said, after getting into a pre-game altercation with some Washington players, that the Eagles were "like pit bulls ready to get out of the cage."
10. New York Giants (6-3) BBLW: 5a Result: L 33-20 (DAL)
One of "the top defenses in the league" going into last week gave up 33 points to Jon Kitna, Jason Garrett, and the formerly 1-7 Cowboys. Nothing else to say.
Teams I Really Don't Care About Because They're Decent But Not Great:
11. Oakland Raiders (5-4) BBLW: 11 Result: BYE
The Raiders didn't lose, so I can't drop them. Especially because other than last week I'm not sure when the last time you could say they're the 11th best team in the NFL. I had to keep it going.
12: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-3) BBLW: 13 Result: W 31-16 (CAR)
They beat Carolina, nothing too impressive but at least they didn't lose to Jon Kitna, Jason Garrett, and the formerly 1-7 Cowboys.
13. Tennessee Titans (5-4) BBLW: 9 Result: L 29-17 (MIA)
They lost to a guy named Thigpin. I don't know anyone with such a horrible name as Thigpin's, let alone any of them that have become an NFL quarterback and actually won a game.
14. San Diego Chargers (4-5) BBLW: 14 Result: BYE
San Diego has positioned itself so that they will be right in contention for the AFC West division championship.
I Can't Do Comments For The Rest Because These Teams All Suck:
15. Kansas City Chiefs (5-4) BBLW: 15 Result: L 49-29 (DEN)
16. Jacksonville Jaguars (5-4) BBLW: 25 Result: W 31-24 (HOU)
17. Miami Dolphins (5-4) BBLW: 19 Result: W 29-17 (TEN)
18. Seattle Seahawks (5-4) BBLW: 24 Result W 36-18 (ARI)
19. Chicago Bears (6-3) BBLW: 23 Result: W 27-13 (MIN)
The Bears are the world 6-3 team in the history of football.
20. Minnesota Vikings (3-6) BBLW: 16 Result: L 27-13 (CHI)
21. Houston Texans (4-5) BBLW: 17 Result: L 31-24 (JAC)
22. Cleveland Browns (3-6) BBLW: 21 Result: L 26-20 (NYJ)
23. Washington Redskins (4-5) BBLW: 18 Result: L 59-28 (PHI)
24. St. Louis Rams (4-5) BBLW: 20 Result: L 23-20 (SF)
25. Buffalo Bills (1-8) BBLW: 27 Result: W 14-12 (DET)
THE BILLS FINALLY WON A GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!
26. Washington Redskins (4-5) BBLW: L 59-28 (PHI)
27. Detroit Lions (2-7) BBLW: 22 Result: L 14-12 (BUF)
28. Denver Broncos (3-6) BBLW: 29 Result: W 49-29 (KC)
29. Dallas Cowboys (2-7) BBLW: 32 Result: W 33-20 (NYG)
30. San Francisco 49ers (3-6) BBLW: 30 Result: W 23-20 (STL)
31. Arizona Cardinals (3-6) BBLW: 28 Result: L 36-18 (SEA)
32. Carolina Panthers (1-8) BBLW: 31 Result: L 31-16 (TB)
Basically, after all this, all we can conclude is that, as my calculus professor so very subtly put it, "If you think you know things, get off your high horse! Nobody knows jack s***!"
