C0astalrat and Rhys still need to get their picks in and Ragman needs to finish his.
Johnboy's:
GB, NYG, Oak, Hou, Cin, Buff, Phil, NO, NE, Minn, Wash, Dal, Pitt, SD, SF, Den (25-18).
We agree as a group on a lot of games.

19 players in with no nagging needed. New players are still welcome.
The Green Bay vs Chicago game is seen by us as a tossup.
Rhys mentioned to me that he had played his first round of "golfing" today.
I remember getting poison ivy on my first round after spending a lot of time in the woods. I hope he fared better.
@realjohnboy,
I like the Bears only because Cutler has looked sharp recently and the Packers D has been looking shaky, but I think it will be a good game.

He did indeed fare better. They let him drive the cart.
@JPLosman0711,
Cutler last year had a big problem throwing key final quarter picks, especially against GB. He and his offensive targets (both passing and runnning) are much improved judging from results this early in the season. Let's hope that he solved his decision-making problem 'cause he surely has a big-time arm. Chicago Offensive line has to protect him from harm, too.
Oddly, this game's impact has a major playoff implication for GB in game #2. They have some key injuries. If GB loses this one at home...YIKES! Hard to imagine...but Chicago seems geared up for it - I hope that the Packers is/are.
Green Bay Packers, giving 5.5.
@Coin-Toss,
Fear not, oh-little-one. The coin-came up for Green Bay tonight.
@realjohnboy,
I wonder if SM agrees with me that Coin-Toss can't avoid finishing the season close to .500.
Cycloptichorn was very kind to respond to a request to be the "celebrity" picker for Coin-Toss. His picks came in just before kick-off last night.
GB, NYG, Mia, Jax, Cin. KC, Balt, NO, AZ, Minn, SL, Sea, Pitt, SD, Det & Atl.
I have the Denver - Atlanta game as a toss-up (10-9).
Of the rest we all agree that New Orleans and Washington will win. Only Tico picks AZ over NE. Rhys alone chooses Jax versus Houston. There are several games where we are divided 17-2.
Liontamer agrees with the majority 0n every game while Cowdoc and Johnboy stray on just one.
Mysteryman and Rhys are out of step on 5 of the 15 games.
@Cycloptichorn,
Only George and Rhys picked TB over the sneeringly hated NY Giants.

We do not hate, nor do we sneer.
Very much.
