Anyone know if Alex Smith is badly hurt? (I only watch this stuff on online scoreboards..)
North South beating food choices so far...
Looks like Seattle won this one - unless some miracle happens in the last five minutes of the game.
(Smith, shoulder injury from tackle).

The Steelers lost and did not look good. I am going to have a grumpy employee tomorrow.
So, today, whiling around waiting for the games to get rolling, I opened the websites I use to follow the games on my desktop: yahoo sports, espn, sports illustrated. Wandering around yahoo, I found something I hadn't seen before - their expert picks. Checked their consensus with my list, and we were in agreement on 12 of 14. Hah, bet they haven't done so well either.
CowDoc 8 (NY Giants, New England - 32)
jespah 8 (NY Giants, New England - 38)
Pantalones 7 (NY Giants, Cincinnati - 42)
cicerone imposter 7 (Philadelphia, Cincinnati - 35)
JPB 6 (Philadelphia, New England)
jpinMilwaukee6 (Philadelphia, New England)
ossobuco 6 (Philadelphia, New England)
realjohnboy 6 (Philadelphia, New England)
The four players with six wins all have New England picked tomorrow night, as do CowDoc and jespah, so they can pick up one game at most with a Philadelphia win tonight (CowDoc and jes both picked NY). That leaves Pantalones and ci with a chance to catch (Pantalones) or surpass (ci) our leaders.
Yeah, they're in similar trouble...

Can they catch our leaders... (I don't mean to toss you work, jpb, that was just rhetorical - I figure they can't).
Good grief, the Giants are winning..
Actually, JPB, my tie-breaker is 52. I picked it 31-21, Patriots. Probably a mistake, but that's what I told the Miz.
Woof, I'm actually not stinky this week!

She got it right, I entered it right, but typed it wrong here. You're all set with 52. And now there are three with a chance to win this week....

And you had company.
Someone wanna open up a window in here?
And the winner is COWDOC who wins with the tiebreaker score of 52 vs jes' 38 and a final total score of 47. This is the second consecutive week that we've needed the tiebreaker. Well done to both of you! CowDoc is also the fourth weekly winner in four weeks. The weekly champion list is now Ragman, lmur, fbaezer, and CowDoc.

RP, even though he hasn't scored a top place score has the best average weekly place finish at 4.5 with a deviation of only (2.08). Very consistently near the top, RP.
