Ha! It's Back! RealJohnBoy's A2K NFL "Pick-Um" Game!

@spendius,

You old trash talker. I suggest you take your own advice.

@edgarblythe,

I know what you mean about the Texans. And the other ? for me is the Jets, the hooligans, comin down to S Florida. Can they get it together?

@panzade,

I picked the Jets. About a third of the games were very hard for me to choose this week.

Miami's RBs torched the Jets defense last year, who don't have Revis now.. And Miami's Defense held Adrian Peterson from scoring on the goal line 4 times in a row last week....

@Cycloptichorn,

Yeah, food for thought. Reavis being out is key for me. I'm switching to the Fins.

Although to me, this says more about the Vikings offensive line than the Dolphins defensive line.

This is the only game I'm really up in the air about. I feel that Tenn's offense is one-dimensional and the Giants have had some success against that this year; they'll plug the gap and force Vince to pass, which doesn't always go that well. Plus, the Giants are at home and will be smarting from last week's blowout by Indy.

But Johnson... he can break big runs. Aaargh.

@Cycloptichorn,

This game ended up being the puzzler. The G-men are a good team playing way below their ability. I'm counting on them to suck it up at home and clobber the Titans.
Go NFL East.

No problem, Cyclo. I just got home and recorded picks starting with the most recent.

@realjohnboy,

RJB: I've landed and I'm back at home now. I've made up a preliminary set of picks, but rather than confuse the issue, I'll think a little bit longer before finalizing. The only reason I waffled last week was due to my traveling. Now that I've reached 60, I'm so much more mature and decisive. Amazing transition, huh?!

Deciding on the Jets, Pitt, and Dallas matches are still driving me nuts.
