I've made a change in my tonight's pick:

I hereby switch my pick to Pitts Steelers over the Balt Ravens.

Lawd, have mercy. It's surely not because Vick the quick is QB-ing for Steelers.

I'm switching from Dallas to New Orleans.

I be hangin' my sad wittle head. It sure looked like they'd make good on my switching. Pitts tried so hard...to give it away.

How many times have you switched to a losing team vs a winning team? I seem to recall you making a lot of ooops switches.

My percentage of getting those right is 15-20% ...just a guess. I've done this...on average...a couple of times per season..maybe 4-5 times. I tried to talk myself out of making the change too.

Each time, the team to which I've switched looks like they're going to win until the very end of the game...just to make matters worse. Steelers really wanted to make me nuts last night!

Each time the dialogue goes the same:

"I just got this feeling."
"The devil made me do it!"
"The home team HAS to win even though these teams are pretty close."
"The experts say this team has to win!"
"This team always beats them in their stadium (or some such rationale)."

Last but not least, if it's close and the home team gets to the game's end...the home team's kicker can always make a difference.

ARGGH!

I knew I should of gone with my gut. I was back and forth in that game. It was a last minute pick.

Watching from the stage there were 6 TVs tuned in; and I was agonizing.
Coach Tomlin was not at his best

Unless I missed it, Edgar is the only one who has not yet gotten any picks in for this week.

Snort..
though I get the change.

Right now I'm bemused with what is going on with Andrew Luck. Comes back to choices of higher ups as to whether to reach to protect him, and whether to get any kind of useful backup. Lousy (to me) intelligence at that level.
