OPEN THREAD: NFL Week 4 - Picks and Posts
Last week?s Week 3 Picks and Posts established a new record for most user predictions. Thanks everyone and let?s set a new record this week.
San Francisco 49ers
It was a disappointing loss, but it was good to see the team fight back. Last year, it seemed as if the team would give up if they were down by a lot early in the game. This year?s team has the talent to come back from deficits. The defense got absolutely torn up by the Eagles offense, and this week it might not get any easier with Larry Johnson. It?ll be fun to watch.
Oakland Raiders
They were on a bye last week and face the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland gave Baltimore a scare last week, so it?ll be interesting to see how they come out this week against the Raiders. I?m also interested to find out if the Raiders made any adjustments or improvements to their team during the bye week. Let?s hope they did (especially because I have LaMont Jordan and Randy Moss on my fantasy team).
Week 3 rankings and results:
Atma Brother ONE: 11-3
jonathan: 10-4
badnamedwarriorfan: 9-5
llamalimbo1: 9-5
R-Dizzle: 9-5
showerman: 9-5
DaAzNJRiCh: 8-6
mydedgerbil555: 8-6
reppin the bay: 8-6
djchuckdeez: 7-7
joe sez: 7-7
JRichIsAGod: 7-7
travisl212: 7-7
Zorgon: 7-7
DividedByZero: 6-8
Fantasy Junkie: 6-8
Chimp: 5-9
Damn, Atma came out on top in a difficult week with nearly half of the user predictions at or below .500. jonathan?s first entry has him rolling at 10-4 while badnamedwarriorfan, llamalimbo, R-Dizzle, and showerman came in tied for third with a 9-5 record.
Good luck this week.
Picks
"Perfect" is my middle name.
BYES: Denver (2-1), NY Giants (2-1), Pittsburgh (1-2), Tampa Bay (0-3)
| Week 4 Matchup |
Prediction
|
|
| Arizona (1-2) @ Atlanta (2-1) |
|
|
| The Mike Vick show stumbled on Monday, but he should be running like crazy on this defense. He gets 200, rushing yards that is. | ||
| Minnesota (2-1) @ Buffalo (1-2) |
|
|
| Minnesota held their own last week against Chicago and they look for real. That defense is solid. | ||
| Dallas (1-1) @ Tennessee (0-3) |
|
|
| TO... Okay now that that's out of the way, we can continue. Dallas better get on track here or they're really in trouble. Tennessee is garbage. | ||
| Indianapolis (3-0) @ New York Jets (2-1) |
|
|
| Jets don't play defense. Manning throws for 600 and 7 td's. Colts squeak one out 63-21 | ||
| New Orleans (3-0) @ Carolina (1-2) |
|
|
| Good to see the Saints win at home last week. | ||
| San Diego (2-0) @ Baltimore (3-0) |
|
|
| Like they do on ESPN, San Di-ego SUPER Charrrr-gers. | ||
| Miami (1-2) @ Houston (0-3) |
|
|
| Miami is BAD. Houston is worse. | ||
| Detroit (0-3) @ St. Louis (2-1) |
|
|
| Mike Martz returns to STL. He knows his former team like the back of his hand. Too bad Detroit doesn't have the talent to win this one. | ||
| New England (2-1) @ Cincinnati (3-0) |
|
|
| Cincy's looking like a powerhouse. | ||
| Jacksonville (2-1) @ Washington (1-2) |
|
|
| Washington tore up Houston last week. Jacksonville plays defense though. Jags by 10. | ||
| Seattle (3-0) @ Chicago (3-0) |
|
|
| This battle will be low scoring and the edge will go to the best defense, Chicago. | ||
| GSoF Golden State of Football |
Prediction
|
|
| San Francisco (1-2) @ Kansas City (0-2) |
|
|
| Arrowhead is a tough place to play, but the Niners got it this week. | ||
| Cleveland (0-3) @ Oakland (0-2) |
|
|
| Could it be? Is this the week the Raiders win? I think so. | ||

GSoM NFL YouTube Clip of the Week:
A couple Bo Jackson clips. With that combination of size, speed, and power, if not for that injury, he would have been considered one of the greatest running backs ever.

Comeon, man!
During the NBA season, I do see it as a potential problem, but I still think its at the minimal day of the week (Sunday), and its only once a week. If theres Ws news on that day, or a Ws game on that day, I'm sure it will be placed on higher priority over the football. And hey, if you don't like it, the easiest thing to do is scroll on past it. Its not like its limiting their other coverage any.
Man
Haha, football is the most popular sport in the Bay and let's face it- everyone's watching football on Sunday.
The GSoM community loves GSoF (just look at the Picks and Posts fun). GSoM NFL is here to stay.

5-9 last week was sad chimp. Sad like the Warriors missing the playoffs 12 straight years.
Let's see what you got this week. Hope you brought your A game.

Arr!
And the Giants are still incorrectly displayed last week at 2-0. They were 1-1 guys. 1-1.
I'm a combined 26-20 (should be 27-19). Its time for an undefeated week! Yeahuhhz!
Anyway, to the picks!
Team 1 @ Team 2: Prediction
Arizona @ Atlanta: Atlanta (To me, a no-brainer. Arizonas got recievers. Atlanta has everything else.)
Minnesota @ Buffalo: Buffalo (Minnesota has shown me something. So has Buffalo, and I think, moreso.)
Dallas @ Tennessee: Dallas (Normally I'd say whoever picks Tennessee is crazy, but Dallas may have no TO, Glenn has stitches in his hand, and Young is playing. In a crazy turn of events, for some cosmic wierd reason Tennessee may win. Dallas still far has the upper hand, it's just closer than you may think.)
Indianapolis @ NY Jets: Indianapolis (The Jets still suck. Indianapolis still rocks (although I hate them.) Who will win?)
New Orleans @ Carolina: Carolina (Carolina has proven they haven't totally lost it by beating the Buccaneers. Look for this game to announce to the league that they're still here. The Saints may make the playoffs, but we haven't seen the real Saints yet. Only emotion has carried them this far. Once its settled, I don't think the Saints are the powerhouse everyone thinks they are.)
San Diego @ Baltimore: San Diego (Baltimore got really lucky to win last week. The Browns really like blowing games, don't they? Anyway, San Diego is grand. They can beat a soldi Baltimore.)
Miami @ Houston: Miami (I really had hope in the Dolphins, but it just can't come together. I really had hope in the Texans, but it just can't come together. Miami will win a close game, and whoever does win this game may get the boost of confidence they need to put their team together.)
Detroit @ St. Louis: St.Louis (Detroit may be better than last season, but the Rams have really put it back together.)
New England @ Cincinnati: New England (I'm beginning to believe in New England, even after last weeks loss. Its kind of an upset pick, but I believe that New England can push it out over the seemingly unstoppable Bengals.)
Jacksonville @ Washington: Jacksonville (Jacksonville is just plain better, I don't know what to tell you.)
Seattle @ Chicago: Chicago (Chicagos offense is really clicking, and I'm really looking forward to this game. However, Seattles defense can at least hold their own against the Bears, and Seattle has a nightmareish pass attack, and their running game is still solid without Alexander. However, my gut feeling just says go with the Bears. Maybe its because my families from Chicago, maybe its because there are a lot of former OU players on that team, maybe because...I dunno. Bears will win.)
Green Bay @ Philadelphia: Green Bay (Brett Farve got his sexy back.)
Neigh Area Football:
Cleveland @ Oakland: Cleveland (5 Jerry Rices could never help the Oakland Terrible at this point. Cleveland gets a morale boost after a discouraging loss last week. I like Andrew Walter though.)
San Francisco @ Kansas City: Kansas City (Their QB....is it Moard or something....has been surprisingly solid. OH, Huard, Dan Huard. Get to know his name over the next few weeks, guys. San Francisco just isn't there yet, but they'll definately get there very soon.)
You can bet on
