I coin flipped just for fun after I made the picks, and surprisingly it agreed on everything except Cleveland and Philadelphia. Also, I have no confidence in my Philadelphia pick whatsoever and have no idea why I'm taking them in this one.

I'm late dammit. But I said I'm taking the Lions all year, so...;)

GB beat the spread.

wow-- i guess picking Dallas was a good idea.:p

btw, does Detroit have a pass rush at all? That would be the best way to knock GB over, rather than going 'prevent' and getting picked apart. The lions had enough offense to win, but not enough defense to keep them from losing.

It always is :D

LSU blows it vs. an unranked team... LOVE IT!

USC still has an outside shot at National Champs!

I don't think we'll see a 2 loss team in the NC, especially if Kansas wins out against Missouri. Not with the field of 1 loss squads still remaining. Of course anything can happen and has this season...
Plus, the loss to Stanford at home is a dagger. Everyone knows if they played again it wouldn't even be close, but it's hard to live down a loss to a 40 point underdog on your home field. I think that more than anything keeps them out of contention.

I was glad to see LSU go down, honestly. Not that I don't respect them and the squad they have, but they've just been involved in way too many extremely close squeakers and last second come backers against average teams (Alabama, Kentucky (L), Arkansas, Auburn to name a few) that while some will argue their only losses have been extremely close 3OT slugfests, it's only fair to mention their several sloppy, unimpressive wins as well.

I'm fairly confident Missouri will win tonight, and I am much more confident that no matter who wins that game, they will lose to Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship.

Now that I've said that, queue OU losing to OSU today... :D

Funny, detroit had enough offense to win once GB themselves went into a prevent defense. Until that point they had managed a meager 12 points. I'm not sure what game you watched, but it doesn't seem to be the one that everyone else did. GB called 17 straight pass plays at one point and Favre completed 20 in a row...how could you do anything but keep people in pass protection? That's what 5 receiver sets do...spread the field and make you rush 4...unless you want to leave a gaping hole open downfield.

It's also worth noting Detroit has the 30th ranked pass defense. They haven't stopped anyone, so I'm not sure it had as much to do with figuring out how to beat GB as figuring out how to play good pass defense.

Lol, okay. We'll see how that goes against teams that can rush the edge while still being decent in coverage. You'll be sending five wr's while Favre gets his head taken off.
