I'm leaning towards NE. I think I am. I play in the A2K Fantasy League. There are some of the folks from here there. Quite a bit more involved than this thing. We have individual players on offense but then we put up one team to represent us on Defense. I have San Diego, but I put them on the Bench this week against NE NE looks strong. Could be a high scoring game.
NE will probably win, but SD is one of my emotional what the hell picks.

How 'bout a total score to go with that pick, rp?

total score for Monday night, edgar?
This week's kinda sorta foolproof method is to select the team in the city farthest to the East. At least, according to my mind. If I actually get the geography wrong, well, it's the thought, twisted as it is, that counts.
Buffalo (0-1) at Pittsburgh (1-0) Buffalo
Houston (1-0) at Carolina (1-0) Carolina
Atlanta (0-1) at Jacksonville (0-1) Atlanta
New Orleans (0-1) at Tampa Bay (0-1) Tampa Bay
Green Bay (1-0) at NY Giants (0-1) NY Giants
San Francisco (1-0) at St. Louis (0-1) St. Louis
Cincinnati (1-0) at Cleveland (0-1) I have no idea which one is further East and am too lazy to look it up so I'm going with Cincy
Indianapolis (1-0) at Tennessee (1-0) Tennessee
Minnesota (1-0) at Detroit (1-0) Detroit
Dallas (1-0) at Miami (0-1) Miami
Seattle (1-0) at Arizona (0-1) Arizona
NY Jets (0-1) at Baltimore (0-1) close to call geographically so I'm flipping a mental coin and going with Baltimore
Oakland (0-1) at Denver (1-0) Denver
Kansas City (0-1) at Chicago (0-1) Chicago
San Diego (1-0) at New England (1-0) New England
Washington (1-0) at Philadelphia (0-1) another close one geographically so this time I'm going with the visiting team, Washington
34 points
Thank you to the record-keeping/nudging team.
Cleveland is east of Cincy, Jespah, but you are probably wise to let sleeping cities lie.
hmmm, that whole 'favourite accent' thing didn't work out quite as planned
I'm going to actually have to read a bit more.
I thought you did quite well with the accent bit, ehBeth. As the weeks go by, 9 is not a bad number.

I am sticking with my pick but I am retracting the NE is a fine team. Belichick is a sleazeball. In my opinion. I hope the NFL commish comes down really hard on him if the allegations of taping opposing coachs' (plural-more than one opposing coach) turns out to be true.
