NFL Picks: Week 6 Results / Week 7 Picks




Week 6 is over. That's the good news. The bad news: Several teams, including my Seahawks, have been ruined by poor play and injuries. But there's no poor playing in our picks! So with that said, here were some random things I found in our Week 6 selections:

-Finch865 was the ONLY person to pick the Detroit Lions over the Minnesota Vikins, but got it WRONG.
-EVERYBODY picked the Washington Redskins over the St. Louis Rams, and got it WRONG.
-Deus Legend and Finch865 were the ONLY people to pick BOTH the Seattle Seahawks AND the San Francisco 49ers to win, but both got these NFC West teams WRONG.

Here is the Week 6 leaderboard:

T1.) Jerhawk / 10
T1.) Flynn4DaWin / 10
T1.) UnKillableBeast / 10
T2.) Deus Legend / 8
T2.) Stopable / 8
3.) Finch865 / 6
4.) JRC 865 / 5

And here is our overall XBLN.com PowerRankings, brought to you by Saints Row 2:

1.) Flynn4DaWin / 55
2.) Jerhawk / 53
T3.) JRC 865 / 51
T3.) Deus Legend / 51
T4.) UnKillableBeast / 48
T4.) Stopable / 48
5.) Finch865 / 38

The All-Mighty Flynn4DaWin has regained the lead after JRC 865 fell into a funk this week. Close on Flynn's tail is the little engine that could: Jerhawk (that would be me). Some gaps are beginning to appear in our scores, which is expected. Finch865 is still trying to catch up, so don't give up Finch! Who wants it more?

Here is our Week 7 matchups, and this could be a make or break week with many interesting games:

San Diego @ Buffalo

New Orleans @ Carolina

Minnesota @ Chicago

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati

Tennessee @ Kansas City

Baltimore @ Miami

San Francisco @ N.Y. Giants

Dallas @ St. Louis

Detroit @ Houston

Indianapolis @ Green Bay

N.Y. Jets @ Oakland

Cleveland @ Washington

Seattle @ Tampa Bay   (Sunday Night)

Denver @ New England    (Monday Night)

Good luck everyone, and here are a few tips that I have for you guys:

1.) For those of you who are behind and would like to catch up, try to wait until the majority of the others have picked, this way you can see what your peers have chosen, giving you the option to pick the other way and possibly getting some points that the others have all got wrong. This would probably mean waiting until Friday or Saturday.
2.) Try to pick the upset pick that most others probably won't pick. This way you can get lucky and pick up a point where others have missed.

Also, those NFL Network Thursday Night games begin pretty soon, so I'll let you know when the first one is, sometime in November is when they start. The reason I am telling you this is because I would need the picks in by the Wednesday before that game for the pick to count. If you wanted to, you could just make your picks after that game, but you would lose the point for that Thursday game. Just a little heads up. Thanks everyone!

  4. Flynn, I have no room to talk here since my Stinkhawks are doing terribly, but the Cardinals didn't even have Anquan Boldin versus the Cowboys, so the game couldve been more lopsided with Boldin playing for Arizona. Now you guys got Roy Wlliams #2 with T.O. but Romo is injured. How interesting.

  5. So whenever Dallas lose, the other team got lucky?

  6. Yeah, that's what I always think when my Seahawks lose. But I guess everybody gets lucky against the Seahawks...

  7. The washington redskins didn't get lucky.They got lucky in the sense that we are better then them.The Cardinals had 3 lucky plays.As far as them not having Boldin we didn't have are best Cover Corner Newman or Roy Williams so I think that crosses out.Are defense let up less points then theirs and I offense scored more points.They got two lucky special team tds and a lucky 3rd n 17 that changed the game.

  8. I'm not worried though because Roy Williams is a elite caliber top 8 WR that will take double teams off TO.We will win at least 2/3 with Brad Johnson. We will win vs Rams and We will win vs bucs, prolly lose vs Vagiants unless Romo comes back.But then again you never know.
